Little Robot Plush Toys
















I came across a cardboard box in the attic yesterday, and when I opened it I found a hoard of plush toys based on my Little Robot characters. They were manufactured a few years ago when Lego Media owned the rights, and were released into the shops to coincide with the launch of the TV series. Although you wouldn't normally associate robots with soft toys, I think they work really well, and had forgotten how cute they looked. Lego used their expertise as toy makers to create some lovely soft toys. Now that they've seen the light of day again, they're sat - looking rather pleased with themselves - on a shelf in my studio. The one below is Scary - my favourite!

  1. Hi,

    I am a teacher and a speech and language therapist once used these with me with a group of special needs children and they loved them. We used them to 'robot' sound chop words in phonics sessions for spelling and reading and I have been looking to buy them ever since. I was wondering if you knew anywhere that still sold them as I have had no luck finding them.
    Hope you dont mind my asking,
