taschen tin toys: robots

lately, i find myself mysteriously enchanted by robots.

i am not sure when this interest started, but it's quickly escalating into crush and collection territory.

for example, these adorable characters are still sitting on my desk.

while clearing out some old boxes recently, i found this taschen tin toys postcard book...

this book has been stashed away in my stuff for years.

i revisited the images and discovered that although many of the toys featured in the book are adorable animals and vintage vehicles, the robots are my favorite...
