If you missed your window to grab that new Bugdroid Bot collectible that briefly popped up on Google's official merch shop, you're in luck: prolific Android collectibles peddler Dead Zebra has listed the figure as coming soon. It's the first Dead Zebra figure to reflect the little green guy's 2023 redesign, and while there's no specific release date yet, it should be available for purchase starting next month.
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 celebrates the Lunar New Year with tiger-themed bugdroid figurines
You can't hear them roar, but they definitely have... The Eye

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.
Even Dead Zebra's Android figurines have dark mode now
Also in standard green, if that's how you roll
Are you really an Android fan if you don't have at least one of Dead Zebra's figurines? The company has made countless limited-edition models of Google's mascot decked out in various themes, celebrating everything from Christmas and Chinese New Year to Oktoberfest and, uh, French cooking. If you've been hoping for a plain model you can keep on your desk year-round, an upgraded version of the standard Mini collectible Bugdroid is now available — and it even comes in dark mode.
Dead Zebra's Christmas-themed Android figurine is now available — with a catch. You can order up one Santa Claus-dressed bugdroid (sack of gifts and glassed included), but it won't actually ship until the week of Christmas, and it's guaranteed to arrive after the date itself. That gives you a full year to put it in the closet and get ready for next year.

Dead Zebra releases Work From Home special edition Android figurine
Orders begin (and probably end) today
This year will be remembered for many things, not least of which will be the sudden spike in time most of us will have spent at home. For many, it's the first experience with the work-from-home lifestyle, and all of the ups and downs that come with it — e.g. video conferencing, no commuting, cooking lunch in your own kitchen, having to actually make your own lunch, and so on. If you want to reward yourself for surviving this wacky experience, Dead Zebra has a new Android figurine designed to commemorate the Work From Home warriors, and it's going on sale today.
Time is of the essence, as these figures are on sale now for $12. If past sales are any indication, you have a few hours, at most, to add one of these Lunar New Year figures to your collection. Ready your wallet and follow the link below to get one for yourself.

Andrew Bell has sold various Android-themed figures, stickers, and other collectables for years under his company, Dead Zebra. If you're looking to add a little bit of Android fun to your Christmas tree, the ornament figures sold last year have returned for a limited time.
Andrew Bell, the artist behind the company Dead Zebra, has been releasing fun Android-themed figures for years. If you just can't get enough of the little bugdroids, or if you haven't purchased any already (you monster!), the company now has 12 more figures available.
Oktoberfest begins tomorrow! Or tonight if you're coming off work. Or yesterday. Hey, we don't judge. But we also don't encourage the drowning of your sorrows for the fact that the Android mascot has been reduced to a mere figurehead of what it used to be. No! You can appreciate the entire bugdroid with a whole figure to celebrate the Oktoberfest season! Dead Zebra has a new Android minifigure and an ornamental stein to boot.
If you love to collect vinyl Bugdroid figurines — just because they're so damn cute — you'll want to make some time tomorrow morning to reserve a limited edition design from Dead Zebra. From 8 a.m. Pacific tomorrow, you can grab a special Android Mini figure to celebrate the dog days of summer.
No self-respecting Android fan's workspace is complete without a Bugdroid mini or two (or three, or eleven), so we're always on the lookout to grow our collection with the latest collectible from Andrew Bell's Dead Zebra. Today Bell revealed the next mini to join the DZ lineup, announcing the limited-edition French chef.
"There is no internet connection." Are there any more terrifying words in the English language? Okay, yes, lots of them. Still, losing internet access is no laughing matter in this hyper-connected age. What are you supposed to do without the internet? Read a book. Psh, not likely. Chrome's dinosaur error page has been with us for a long time, helping to calm nerves during those periods of disconnection. Starting next week, you can have the Chrome dino on your desk all the time with these Dead Zebra figurines.
As is tradition, Dead Zebra is ringing in the upcoming Chinese New Year with an appropriate mini bugdroid figurine, shaped like a pretty cute, Androidesque pig. And, technically, there are two figurines: 1 in 10 purchasers will receive an even more limited edition Gold colored one, rather than your more standard (and perhaps cuter) pink bugdroid pig.
The Android faithful will know that Andrew Bell's Dead Zebra has long made various Android vinyl figures. They look like businessmen, skeletons, astronauts, and all kinds of neat stuff. Never before has there been a holiday ornament version, though. Dead Zebra will sell you a special edition Android mini ornament tomorrow (December 12).
