Dead Zebra makes a splash with some tubular new Android Bugdroid figurines for summer
These collectible Android surfers are available in your choice of colors
What kind of Android superfan can you be if you don't have at least a few (dozen) Bugdroid figurines? Every time Dead Zebra comes out with some new releases, we're eager to take a look, and recent ones have seen the Android mascot dress up like a reindeer, go to work in different outfits, and get ready for the Year of the Rabbit. Summer is in full swing right now, and Dead Zebra is getting right into those vibes with a pair of new Bugdroids that look positively built for the beach.
Dead Zebra's Year of the Rabbit Android collectible set comes with a slick jade-like figurine
Complete with removable bunny heads and a couple of golden ingot banks
I've been a big fan of Dead Zebra's Android figurines for some time now, seeing that they are the perfect intersection of my interests in vinyl figures and Android OS. Over the years, I've collected more than a few, from a German drinking beer to a reporter snapping pics with a tiny camera, and I love them all. But Dead Zebra has piqued my interest today with its latest offering, a special edition 4-piece Android mini collectible set themed around the Year of the Rabbit. While the first round sold out incredibly quickly thanks to high demand, pre-orders are open, and the set should ship sometime in March.

Ever heard of a dead zebra guiding a sleigh?
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder, and... Bugdroid? Andrew Bell of Dead Zebra is out with a new figurine design for the holiday season and it's a pretty fitting one that will go right above your yulelog in the fireplace — perhaps even into a hanging stocking for someone you know.
Dead Zebra's new Halloween collectible is coming for your mail
Delivery subsystem errors have never been so cute
Dead Zebra has added to its selection of delightful Droid figurines for Halloween, with its newly realized terror of the mail delivery subsystem: the Mailer Daemon. The company has delivered an untold number of its iconic bugdroid interpretations to fans through its releases, previously dropping collectibles for Christmas, Chinese New Year, and Oktoberfest. Earlier this year, Dead Zebra even presented an exceptionally cool upgraded Standard Edition bugdroid, dropping a Dark Theme Edition alongside it for low-light purists.
Andrew Bell, the man behind Dead Zebra and its unending collections of Android Minis, likes to release new designs frequently to celebrate special dates. Halloween is upon us, and what better way to commemorate the creepy holiday than with an adorable green robot claimed by the undead?

- Pre-orders for this pastel-draped set are now open. The trio can be yours for a scant $24. Like we mentioned before, shipping isn't set to commence until early next week, just ahead of the Easter holiday.
Most of you are probably familiar with the Bugdroid: he's the official mascot for Android and a common depiction in Dead Zebra's Android Mini figurines. The company has just pushed its latest special edition set for spring to its site, revealing pre-order availability for tomorrow (March 20th) at 11AM Eastern time and I can't keep up this facade anymore THEY'RE LIKE TINY ANDROID PEEPS IN A BOX, OH MY GOD.
If you're an Android fan, which is not that far a stretch considering you're reading this, you've probably looked at Dead Zebra's Android Mini figurines and wished you had all the money to buy every single one.

I don't like spiders. I know that's a statement that almost anyone can make, but I really don't like them, to a point where I can somehow sense them in a room. On many an occasion, my friends and parents and coworkers have seen me get off my chair and go look in an invisible corner or push some piece of furniture away to reveal a spider behind it. Then calmly ask someone to come get rid of it. Call it my spidey sense, call it my curse to find the horrors of life, it's that bad.
I love Christmas. It's easily my favorite holiday of the year—just looking at the lights and festive decorations fills me with so much glee I could explode. A sparkly explosion of glee and joy all over the place. It would be the most loving explosion of all time.

- IT'S ALIVE! The listings for Android Isaac Newton, Nicola Tesla, and Marie Curie are active on the Dead Zebra store, along with the triple pack. It looks like all of them are in stock as of 7:20 PM Eastern on April 20th.
Dead Zebra's long-running line of themed Android figures is expanding by three next week. The latest figures use the now-iconic shape of the Android mascot, but bear cartoon likenesses of three of the biggest names in scientific history: Sir Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, and Nikola Tesla. They'll go on sale in the Dead Zebra shop starting on Monday, April 20th at 11AM Eastern time (8AM Pacific). Each one will cost $10.
Halloween is right around the corner, and you know what that means (aside from candy-starved children running around in ghoulish clothes): it's time for a new Android figurine from Andrew Bell. For this year's collectable, Mr. Bell turned our beloved Bugdroid into a creepy little cat named Lucky Lucy, whose duality is very apparent from the start thanks to her reversible head.
The Comic-Con special editions of Andrew Bell's Android figurines are always special, and this year is no exception. These limited-edition Heroes & Villains II figures were available in San Diego last week on the show floor, but now you can pick them up in a 4-piece bundle for yourself. It's priced reasonably at $40, which is the same sticker price you would have paid for four regular figures.
It's that time again, obsessive collectors: time to fight the masses for a tiny hunk of vinyl and cuteness. Chinese New Year is coming up on Friday, and to celebrate the creators of the ever-popular Android figurines are releasing yet another special edition toy. This time it's dedicated to the Year of the Horse, with a red paint job inspired by the Zodiac figure.
Yesterday, Andrew Bell unveiled his latest creation: the Trickertreat Android figurine for Halloween 2013. This whimsical little pumpkin-headed Android has a dual-nature personality, much like the fun-loving, but also high-strung mayor of Nightmare Town in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Actually, Trickertreat is a lot like a mashup of the Mayor of Halloween Town and The Pumpkin King himself.
