Darth Vader Unmasked Mimobot Flash Drive
11:20PM Matt Buchanan | Mimoco’s getting more clever with their latest Star Wars mimobot flash drives—Darth Vader and Clone Rex have removeable masks, and one out of six Vaders will have the Uncle Fester face underneath, not the NOOOOO one. [Mimoco] More »

Mimobot Designer Flash Drives 36 Percent Off Through Monday
9:00AM Matt Buchanan | We love pretty much everything about mimobots—designer USB flash drives that come in flavours from Star Wars sex to pirates—except their designer price. But through Monday, they’ve knocked 36 percent off everything they sell (because that’s how much of its value the Dow has lost through year), officially bring them into reasonably priced geek.gift territory.

Limited-Edition Mimobot RayD8gig Glows in Dark For Halloween
2:45AM Kit Eaton | Fans of the undeniably geek-chic Mimobot flash drives will be pleased to hear there’s a new edition out for this year’s fast-approaching All Hallow’s Even… the RayD8gig. It’s an 8-gigabyte inverse colour version of RayD8, and it glows in the dark, ohoho yes. But if you’re tempted you need to move fast: there’s a strictly limited edition of just 200 of these hitting the streets. Yours, skeletally, for $US100. [Mimoco] More »

New Star Wars Series 3 Mimobot Flash Drives Are Now Up For Pre-Order
8:20AM John Mahoney | Mimobot, fine purveyors of geeky collectible flash drives, have introduced the next batch of Star Wars flash drives. There’s an egg-headed C-3PO, Wicket, Imperial Guard and my favourite, Emperor Palpatine, who’s channeling Dark Side force zaps at all times, keeping your data safe. Like the last batch they can play Star Wars sounds when you mount and unmount, if you want to go there. [mimobots via Underwire] More »

Cooking Hell Kitties and Pirates: Tokidoki Mimobot Artist Series
10:00AM Matt Buchanan | 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 (US$40, US$60, US$100) but the candy coating, which we still think is pretty sweet. [Mimoco] More »

Star Wars Series 2 Mimobot Flash Drives Ship Tomorrow
8:40AM Matt Buchanan | 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
10:00PM Jesus Diaz | 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.
