New Star Wars Mimobots - Well Almost

Mimobots| Useless Novelty

star wars mimobot

Mimoco is on the verge of announcing another set of Star Wars Mimobot USB drives.  This next line is their Series 3 and Mimoco will be announcing new drives between now and July 23rd.  Mimoco is having a Star Wars Mimobot contest - you can enter here - so enter to win a free drive!  I did.  It’s a fun little guessing game.

The Series 2 Mimobots are still available.  Maybe they aren’t as hot as we are led to believe (announcement of 2,000 available back in Nov ‘07).

Meaning “sometimes” in Japanese, Tokidoki was named because of Simon’s love for Japanese culture and because he believes “everyone waits for moments that change one’s destiny”

New: Mimobot King and Queen; Why Is It Rated R?

Flash Storage| Mimobots| USB News

Designed by Undoboy, a member of the Spear Collection, Mimobot introduces the King and Queen series.

Patterned with all the royal shapes of diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades the USB King and USB Queen collection is another unique design from Mimoco.

Included in the limited edition USB drive is a short animation, wallpapers and icons. What is odd about this release is Mimobot labeling the series as “R” and “Not For Kids” The response from Mimoco:

The content on the King and Queen units contains footage of artists using expletives, being extremely frank, etc…

As a foot note; Mimobot is running a 25% OFF back to school sale so if any of their characters where the right design, but the wrong price (like their Starwars Stormtropper or Chewbacca) - might be worth another revisit.

Mimobot Is Back - Nine New Models

Flash Storage| Mimobots| USB News

So what exactly are we looking at? Mimobot USB characters have always been a little off in their design, but I guess that’s why their following is so strong. Or is it?

Nine new models came out last week and they are strange - must be based off the characters in the animated movie, Chicken Little. So lets do a quick run-down.

Row One:
PSY mimobot
Ptry mimobot
PupStar mimobot
RayD8 mimobot

How do they come up with these names?

Row Two:
Galacula mimobot (Okay that makes sense)

Fairybit mimobot
Owsley Owlbert mimobot

The straggler Swirl mimobot.
