I was over the moon when Mimoco first collaborated with Tokidoki on a collection of designer USB flash drives fashioned after iconic characters like Meletta, Pastaio and Pirate Nero, revealed right in time for Valentine's Day last year. And apparently, I wasn't the only one craving an encore performance. This year, customers can say hello to two new Tokidoki Mimobots: Adios and Ciao Ciao. Since these two characters are lovebirds, their release around V-Day seems all the more fitting.
Waiting for the characters' back story with bated breath? Thought so! Well, here's the love story involving these two munchkins. According to Tokidoki legend, Adios spent 500 years in a fiery inferno before the devil became aware of his innate benevolence and exiled him from hell. But since he was still too much of a naughty bug to make it through heaven's gates, Adios was forced to spend his immortal life wandering through a purgatory-like space. It's in this grave-loft world where Adios met his girlfriend Ciao Ciao, and the two have vowed to spend their eternal states together. It's a gothic love story with more than a few wink-wink twists.
Like all Mimobots, these are available in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB storage capacities, and each drive includes Tokidoki-centric desktop wallpapers, icons, avatars, and screensavers. Say hello to love.
Tokidoki Adios and Ciao Ciao Mimobots, $24.95 for 2GB USB Flash Drive. Visit Mimoco.com
