about kidrobot's zoomies by paul budnitz

Kidrobot is set to release their ZOOMIES series of blindboxed-figures on Jan 10th. there are 17 pieces featuring Fritz and friends to collect (cars and zoomies come separately within the case) in a case of 20 blindboxes @ US$7.95-per box ... there's also a ZOOMIES CHASE RACE (scavenger-hunt roadtrip-style) to launch the series :)
my question would be: does the vehicle come with the "draw-back" function that uses friction to propel it forward? (pls do pardon my obvious lack of technical-expertise in the area of toytalk/manufacturing terms here LOL) ... at the very least it wouldn't just remain "stagnant" as a figure, innit? then there's literally not much difference between these babies than fastfood-freebies, IMHO ...

objectively speaking, venturing beyond the realms of designer art toys, this series sees KR going down the super-deformed kiddie-cutey-friendly toy-route (along with Yo Gabba Gabba et al) - perhaps as an entry point to reel in educate the young'uns about "art toys" earlier, yeh? (i wouldn't know and don't pretend to know for fact :p) - i like the dozer-mobile riding trucker-Rhino with yellow-birdie myself *heh* ... Zoomies is designed by KR-founder Paul Budnitz (and not to be confused with UK's Zoomies, yeh? :p)

  3. Tephlon: dude, one animal's horn is another birdie's bar-stool LOL ... actually i hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it! thankgawd tis a plastic-birdie, innit? muahahahaha

    and totally diggin' the cap too - if KR'd release him as a larger vinyl with removable caps? that would've been cool, IMHO :p

    anonymous: dude? if they don't rattle when you shake 'em? im still cool with it ... LOL

    (not counting them FatCaps or Bentworlds tho - altho im not too sure if they do rattle.... :p)
