Slobot // Slobart

Posted on September 12, 2007 Under Gadgetry

Mike Heisler, the artist behind the Slobot robots that we’ve gushed about here before, designed this Bart Qee figure for the Toy Tokyo leg of the Bart Simpson Qee show in NYC. The 10” tall Bart comes equipped with positionable arms, legs, and his very own remote-bearing baby-Bart. Like Mike’s other Slobots, Slobart was made from a combination of mixed media and found objects, but this one gets the extra distinction of being attached to a power cord that, when used appropriately, turns Bart’s head into a beacon of LED love. Slobart is not currently up for sale, but if you like what you see in him you should absolutely check out Mike’s other Slobots, which still manage to be awesome without calling on one of the world’s most popular cartoon characters.
