The up coming Green Lantern movie is one of the most anticipated summer movies of the year. My wife would say it’s because of Ryan Reynolds, I’d say because the Corp’s kick a$$. Either way, the movie is not due out for another 30 days. However, you can get a quick fix with these Mimobot Green Lantern Corps action figures in the shape of a USB drive.

Mimobot is a company which has carved out a creative niche for ultra cool and ultra cute USB flash drives with a cartoonish figure. The most recent addition are Hal Jordan [pictured], Tomar-Re, Kilowog and Sinestro.

The USB 2.0 drives come preloaded with content you can’t get anywhere else. The reason is that Mimobot teamed with DC Entertainment to put together some collectable content like screen savers, wallpaper, avatars and other digital extras.

The Green Lantern Corps ranges in size of 2GB to 16GB. Prices range from $22 to $65 respectively.

These days there isn’t much to flash drives, other than look and some advanced functions, so for this post I thought the video Mimobot put together for introducing their next 4 models would be the best way to entertain the readers…so enjoy:

Press Release: Mimobot With New Star Wars Series

Designer USB flash drive pioneer Mimoco is excited to unveil its newest line of STAR WARS MIMOBOT designer flash drives. Devoted to the film that started it all – STAR WARS: Episode IV A New Hope – the latest series of classic characters immortalized as USB flash drives includes astromech droid extraordinaire R2-D2 and the shooting-impaired Stormtrooper – both back by popular demand from the original STAR WARS MIMOBOT series. Two newcomers also join the 2010 series, including that scavenger of the desert, the Jawa, and the fan selection from the first-ever STAR WARS MIMOBOT Audience Choice poll – Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The completely redesigned Stormtrooper Unmasked MIMOBOT features a removable helmet revealing either Luke Skywalker or Han Solo beneath. Just as their “borrowed” uniforms provided perfect cover for the young heroes during the daring Death Star rescue, these Stormtrooper USB flash drives provide up to 16GB of “armored” protection for your digital life. Stormtrooper Unmasked MIMOBOT will be offered as a blind assortment character, with a 50% chance of uncovering either Luke or Han when the MIMOBOT helmet cap is removed.

Mimobot introduces three new Hello Kitty USB flash drives.  As with all the Mimobot creations, these are fun and colorful USB flash drives with a very unique look.  Forget about those rectangle sticks China cranks out month after month, get a Mimobot.

The USB Hello Kitty models are “Fun In Fields,” and “Apple,” and finally, “X.”

The default size for all the Hello Kitty USB drives are 2GB at $25.  You can double the capacity to 4GB for just another $10 dollars.  Or you can double the price [total cost $50] for the 8GB version.

If you aren’t down with the business model of Mimco and their Mimobots, then all their styles are limited edition, so if you are a Hello Kitty fanatic, you better act fast.  Traditionally they only make 2,000 of each model.

Here is the landing page for the USB Hello Kitty product line.

Earlier this week Mimobot announced the final installment of their USB Star Wars Series 3 collection. The final character to be reviled is no other than; USB C-3PO. So with the Alliance making it’s only appearance it appears the Series 3 is more about the Dark Side.

C-3PO is available in 1, 2, 4 or 8GB sizes. The other Mimobot characters reveled, Darth Sidious, Wicket and Royal Guard are also available in the mentioned sizes. Prices range from $40 to $110.

As announced, Mimobot has come out with their 3rd USB Mimobot for the Series 3 Star Wars set.  Today they announced the arrival of the Royal Guard.  In flashy red attire you can’t miss the Royal Guard, and these guys look tough as they’ve got their wand in hand ready to kick some a$$.

So as a short re-cap we have:  Darth Sidious, Wicket and Royal Guard.  See a trend here?

Mimoco hasn’t officially released the product for purchase but that comes at the end of the month.  Here is the corporate link to keep yourself up-to-date.
