Ever heard of an Amigurumi doll? I haven’t either. Turns out, what you’re looking at above is an Amigurumi, and it portrays one of the favorite characters in the mobile world… the Android Robot.
‘Andy the Android’ (as dubbed by designer Xuan Nguyen) is up for sale right now on eBay. However, the unfortunate thing is that only one of these is up for grabs. Maybe it’s just me, but after Andy here makes his rounds about the blogosphere, I think many an Android addict may want one of these? I dunno… Just a thought 🙂
Here’s the official description of the item from Xuan:
You are bidding on a brand new, amigurumi doll (Japanese for knitted or crocheted stuffed toy) based on Google’s Android.
The doll has been lovingly handmade in Australia by hobbyist crotcheter Xuan Nguyen who has given it the name, “Andy the Android”.
This is the third Google Android based doll that Xuan has made but the first one ever to be sold or put up for auction. It is perfect for Google Android fans, enthusiasts and collectors looking to acquire unique Google Android based merchandise.
The doll measures 12cm (about 4.5 inches) from the legs to the top of the antennas. It is tightly crocheted using yarn made up of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. The doll also contains small plastic pellets in the feet to help it stand.
At the time of writing, the doll had reached a measly $12 Australian Dollars, with over 7 days left in the auction. Should be neat to see how much it goes for.
Also of note, at the bottom of the auction page it details that the doll will come with a signed tag numbered #3… Guess these are truly limited edition and one-of-a-kind. Awesome 🙂
For more information, pop on over to the eBay auction page, and add it to your watchlist!
