I Wood Like to Be Your Friend

Filed under: Toy News — Rumble Crew @ 10:11 am

Gokin elitists beware! This little toy (or “collectible”, if you prefer) is made entirely out of WOOD. Not a hint of diecast in sight – not even a screw or metallic paint! But this 3-inch tall robot has plenty of personality and even a cool built-in gimmick to boot. :-)

This toy (yes, I play with it) is one in a series of wooden miniatures made by the candy company KABAYA. Among his friends you’ll find a a toaster, a rotary-dial telephone, a fridge, a blender, a TV… and more – all done up in the same retro-kawaii style. Each little toy also comes with its own gimmick or special function. For example, Mr. Robot here is a actually an “accessories stand”, according to the box. You can hang rings on his hands, or… TA-DA!
Open his chest compartment to hide that 10-carat sparkler away.

That’s how simple it is. I like to keep him on my desk as a cheerful little daily companion. Oh yes.Each box comes with a little pack of chocolates, Yum! This is one toy you can’t keep MIB. Except maybe in the freezer ;-)

Disclaimer: Any inherent “soul” or “value” in these little toys is directly proportionate to how much you actually like them. Cheers!
