Motorbot Cooks Up Christmas Customs

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

If you want to be sure you’re bringing something unique to your holiday dinner, you might want to drop Motorbot a line. The textures on these customs are just sick.

Kozik’s new series of 5″ Labbits are now available from Kidrobot. The Labbits Series 2 come with a secret 4-pack of accessories.
