Bunk Bots: Domo Arigato Mr Roboto
The other night, as my son crept into my bed, he hit me in the head with a robot.

Thankfully, unlike the plastic trucks and action figures he has adopted as lovies in the past, this robot was a "crazy soft" Bunk Bot named Night-Vision Pinch. And that's the point.

Pinch is one of several plush robots created by a brilliant Portland, Oregon product design engineer who saw his sons cuddling up to hard, pointy robot toys and decided to make something a little more sleep-friendly. I love that each of the ten gray fleece robots comes with a description of the job they did before they escaped from their factory. And half of them have a red eye signifying that they someday plan to take over the world.

Of course this info did not concern my son who insisted I immediately write his name on Pinch's attached tag. I suppose this will insure that Pinch be returned home after achieving world domination.  -Christina
