Yesterday I showed you guys some Nintendo/Pepsi bottlecaps. Well, one of our readers, Gary, has pointed out that Kid Robot has some very similiar magnets. Good work.
If you have never been to Kid Robot (check this old post) get on over there. They have some of the coolest toys you will ever see.











Awesome, I’m going to have to look for that store next time I’m in Santa Monica.

I’m collecting these, and the new set is great. I keep buying them from Play-Asia.com, you can buy them there too with settings! I’m trying to get the secret one, but the selection is random. My collection of these is growing greatly! I’ll take some pics soon.

Let me better explain what the magnets are all about. Somewhat like a new-age version of colorforms, you put the magnets onto the scenery/setting (sold seperately), setting up the characters however you like. Magents you don’t like or don’t want in the scenery are reversable, into a coin. The coin goes on the other side of the secenery to hold the character into place.

Here’s a pic of my rare 1-1 Magnet scenery, and the magnets that go with it. Again, if you flip the way the magnets are, they can be used as coins. If you drag the coin, you can make it look like the character is moving in the scenery on it’s own!

Erm… don’t ask about what’s going on in the background. There’s another magnet, though.
These were made to celebrate the Famicom’s Anniversary. The Pepsi Bottle cap degins where inspired by these, which came out recently as well. (2004) Anymore questions about these or the Pepsi bottlecaps (both of which I am collecting), feel free to ask!
