Todays the day! Philip Lee the man behind the Classicbot line! At DesignerCon 2019 prototypes was on show. Philp announced the iBoy will be launched as a Kickstarter which will see a discount for everyone who backs the campaign as well as some special edition iBoys and today is the day the campaign starts! and only hours launching the target goal has been smashed and stretch goals are already in place! Plenty of tiers and pledge brackets to choose from.
Like Theresa Hawkins said when she saw the prototype at Dcon ” I love their classic computer toy designs with fun interchangeable parts and accessories. Being able to mix and match and play around with a toy’s display is so much fun! They’ve got a new design in the works called iBoy – a fun play on the old school iPod – and had prototypes on display at their booth. They’re looking to do a Kickstarter to fund the project so keep your eyes peeled for deets. This design has been a wip for some time now, so fingers crossed this cutie gets funded and out in the world!”- Theresa Hawkins
The anticipated release of his “iBoy”! Apple fanboys are you ready as the prototype is done and already in production as we speak. Like we said before, we have long being a fan of Classicbot and their Apple-inspired releases (read HERE) we have a few already in our collection but our interest was piqued when we saw that in the near future there will be an iBoy released by Classicbot, his take on the cute iPod (remember those?!)
A heartfelt homage to the must-have device that transformed everyone’s listening habits in the early 2000s, iBoy toy figure is the brainchild of Classicbot’s designer, Philip Lee. The end result is an eye-catching talking point that’s sure to brighten up homes and offices everywhere.
