April 11, 2002 - (Sponsor Announcement) - KidRobot, a brand new specialty web site devoted to premium collectible action figures designed in the Hong Kong Vinyl style.

The figures on KidRobot are designed by an emerging group of underground artists in Hong Kong, Japan and the U.S., who fuse urban street culture and hip-hop style with amazing results. Designers such as Michael Lau and Eric So have made figures that are the centerpieces of a full-blown movement with its own language, celebrities and diehard fans. Once you start browsing through the figures on KidRobot, we think you'll soon realize why they're considered collector items and works of art.

KidRobot may be a new site, but it's run by the same people as Minidisco.com, the largest specialty retailer of MiniDisc audio electronics and accessories since 1997. As a Grand Opening special, Kidrobot is also giving away a full set of Michael Lau's amazing Crazychildren figures. Check out KidRobot at http://www.kidrobot.com.
