Google Android toys initiate subroutine: adorable

+++Initiate subroutine: adorable+++ Android is coming to life. Lovable toys based on Google's endearing mascot are leaping from phones to the palm of your hand in the form of these 3-inch vinyl Googlebots.

Last week we brought you Series 2 of the Android Mini Collectibles. Now click through our photos to meet Series 1 of the adorable Androids.

The cutesy phonedroids come courtesy of Dyzplastic, the toy brand designed by New York-based English artist Andrew Bell. The designs include the shocking yellow Hi-Voltage, the steampunk CopperBot, and sinister Darknet. A flaming Creature from the pit and a novelty tie-wearing Worker are equally terrifying, while the Copper Washed Rustbot shows what happens to all technology, eventually.

These are definitely some of our favourite robots, but there's stiff competition: who could forget the Lego robot controlled by a Nexus One phone that can solve a Rubik's cube in 12 seconds? Or the George the 1950s robot built from bomber bits? Or the robots who clean your house? And that's not to mention the life-sized, remote-control version of the Google Android.

Each Android Mini Collectible is blind boxed, so -- like Forrest Gump -- you never know what you're gonna get. They're available from Bell's Dead Zebra webstore, costing £5.50, or from a selection of UK toy sites.
