MAKE has posted a great tutorial on taking a robotically side-shuffling Mechamo Crab by Gakken and slapping the creepy, dead-eyed head of an old Cabbage Patch doll on top. They suggest building an entire army and letting them loose on your lawn on Halloween, or perhaps just loosening one in the bedroom of a small, obnoxious neighborhood child whom you might be forced to baby sit from time to time.
Horrifying. Ever since Toy Story, this sort of baby doll robot spider creepy crawls all over my id, springing into monstrous tangibility to skitter all over my sweating flesh whenever my asthma is bad enough to require a tab of Theophylline and the nightmarish hallucinations it brings.
I love the mechanics on that dolll!
I created a series of Mecha-doll assemblages back in 1995-1996. Now the ones I have left have a rusty and corrodded patina to them “au Naturel”
