  These are gorgeous, but to my mind Kawaguchi owes Jim Woodring some money.

  I have to agree with M. And Vanessa's point may be true as well. I see differences in the designs, but the differences are marginal.

  Awesome designs. Some of these remind me of Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (Artforms of nature).

  Looks like steam punk meets Takashi Murakami.

  I love the ones that look like a hybrid of a Goomba and a Metroid.

  i thought robotics were supposed to be functional and then aesthetic/conceptual - then again, i'm not exactly linear either.
  they'd probably do better as an exclusive line of vinyl toys.

  @ Vanessa & Timothy: I went to see this today and I disagree-- I don't think they look much like Woodring's work at all. I think perhaps it's just that they both use bright primary colours and organic shapes, but there are definitely differences.
