Uglydoll

Whenever an ordinary, useful thing becomes fun and whimsical, people go nuts. It’s why I have a Death Star tea infuser, and it’s why Mimobots are so awesome to me. 

Because who wants a flash drive when you could have a flash drive that looks like Ugly Dolls? Exactly. 

As you can see, Mimobot was kind enough to send me four of these little gems. And now, from the back:

Meet Wage. 

Love the little apron. Let’s look at him from the back!

Nice apron tie. From this angle, you can see his light-up hindquarters, much like the butt end of Captain Mal’s famous ship. 

Meet Ox!

Like the Wu-Tang Clan, he’s concerned with dolla dolla bills, y’all. He’s also a puppy. 

This is Ice Bat!

His hobbies include sno-cones and jacking up the color composition of a photograph. 

And then you see those little wings and all is forgiven. 

Next, we have Babo. He doesn’t seem like the smartest of the Mimobots. But hey! Cookie!

His backside is a little plain. 

Group shot!

They look kinda funny with their heads off. 

One of my least favorite things about the Mimobots is the way they face down when plugged into a computer. I suppose it works for them, as it flashes the logo and all, but still. 

Of course, they light up while in use. 

Mimobots are deeply cool guys. They range from 8 gigs to 64 gigs, and they typically come with neat little bits of art or other goodies straight out of the box. I have a bunch of these flash drives, and I’d love more. They work great, they look cool. Could it be better?
