Cooking Hell Kitties and Pirates: Tokidoki Mimobot Artist Series

The latest batch of mimobot designer flash drives for Spring continue their artist series, this time fronting Italian artist Simone Legno's Tokidoki brand. There's just three in the set, but they're all pretty awesome: Pirate Nero, obviously a frickin' pirate; Pastaio, who looks like demon kitty chef; and Meletta, which has a monkey on it. They're 1, 2 and 4GB and are fast enough for ReadyBoost. As always, you're not paying for the guts ($40, $60, $100) but the candy coating, which we still think is pretty sweet. [Mimoco]

Star Wars Series 2 Mimobot Flash Drives Ship Tomorrow

The Star Wars Series 2 mimobots—Luke, Leia, Han and Boba Fett—that were due last month are finally shipping tomorrow, three months after going up for pre-order. They've got a brand new feature that I'm not sure if I love or hate: When you plug in or eject the drive, it plays sounds from Star Wars, in case your coworkers didn't already know you were a virgin.

FriendsWithYou Mimobots Add Diabetes-Inducing Cuteness to Data

Apparently designed for tree-hugging hippies, Castro residents and ex-Hello Kitty addicts, the latest Mimobots are the same-old USB memory sticks dressed in new plastics. And yes, like the previous generations, these FriendsWithYou models are equally as cute, sugar-level-boostery and almost-irresistible. Almost. I personally like Super Malfi, the flower-power smallpox one.

Mimobots, those adorable USB flash drives created to look like various characters, are about to be joined by a new set of Star Wars peeps.

In any case, these dudes will drop come January, but you can put your order in for them now. They'll set you back $50 for a 1GB drive, $70 for 2GB, and $110 for 4GB.

Halo Master Chief Mimobot Thumb Drives (Finish the File Transfer)

Mimoco's got these Limited Edition Master Chief USB Drives in 1, 2 and 4GB sizes. They're preloaded with artwork from the upcoming Halo novel and an episode of "This Spartan Life", they're pricey at $109 for the larger model, but given the Halo feeding frenzy, they would still sell out of the limited run if they charged 50% more.

Paws On the Artist Series '07 mimobots at NY Comic Con

The NY Comic Con was disappointingly less gadget-y (or worthwhile) than I had hoped, which is to say that it was gadget-less until I spotted the Mimoco banner way against the back wall. And what can I say, I'm a whore for art toys—Kid Robot has gotten far too much money from me over the last couple of years. More »

An Imperial spy informs us that Mimoco's going to drop a Darth Vadar USB flash drive tomorrow. A limited run of 3500, too, so you'd better queue up now if you want one. They're officially sanctioned by his royal Lucas-ness, and will go for $80 bucks for a 1GB version, all the way to $170 bucks for a 4GB version. That's a whole lotta space bucks for 4GB isn't it?
