Robot: The Toy!!

We have been working very hard at breaking into the vinyl toy market.... it's something we have always loved and something we have always wanted to be part of. After deciding that Robot should be our first foray into toys, the first step was to take the 2D vector drawing into a 3D shape. Once this was completed we then needed to find somebody who could take these sketches and turn them into a sculpted prototype. So thank goodness we bumped into Martin, AKA Tweekhed, (a UK based designer / illustrator / sculptor who is totally kick-ass). Martin has been working on the prototype for the last few months now but it looks like it is almost ready to be primed and resin cast for production. We are still a good few months away from getting a finished version from the factory in China but it's cool to finally have something to show for all the hard work and efforts everyone has put in.

The robot toy (still no official name yet - all suggestions welcome!) is going to be an integral part of what robotandspark does in 2008 and early next year. Unfortunately we can't go into too much detail just yet, but as soon as we have some concrete information in place we will let you know. All we can say is this is going to be huge, not just in the vinyl toy world but on the Middle Eastern art scene as a whole. We are so excited about this......
