Beautiful Wooden Robot Toys
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 29 of March , 2010 at 4:53 am
Wood isn’t really what comes to mind when you think of robots, which is a shame, as these beautiful toys from Takeji (Take-G) Nakagawa illustrate. At least, he calls them toys, I probably wouldn’t. Each one is hand made, and they’re really little works of art, combining the essences of natural materials and future technology. The artist, understandably proud of his work, refuses to let you buy one unless you’ve seen it in person, so you’ll have to go to Japan if you want one. Once you get there, the small figures start at $50, the medium sized ones are mid three figures, and the large figures add another zero onto that.

Wow they are amazing. I love the old school look of wood but being used to create something so futuristic! They would look fantastic in my bar room
