Gizmobots.

I saw these Gizmobots in Bury museum and fell in love with the playful and comic personalities of these characters. I can only find out that the guy who made them is called Mark. He is a qualified electrician so makes some, aswel as having a personality, have a purpose, either a radio, i pod dock or desk light.
These Gizmobots are so quirky, they hold age, stories and personalities, all which make you want to adopt one of these quirky characters. He sells them as characters and instead of 'seeling' he says 'adopt'...with a price tag of around £100 and up. He markets them with there characters, you also get their story, their likes, dislikes and hobbies.
This is a hard business as i now, half of the time spent is days on ebay, car boots sales and auction lots. And can wither some months due to lack of stock to use.
These playful 'bots' remind me of the minions off despicable me, funny, playful and cheeky. These Gizmobots are well made, marketed and functioned.
I plan to have a go at making my own! Try and meet the standard and quality of Marks, but with my own individual style and creativity. I would want them to have their own each individuality and funkiness.
Wish me luck!
