Never Too Old
I think the meaning of the word “toy” has been narrowed down too much; we generally think of children or people with too much disposable income. For me, toys are the joyous outcome of an imaginative mind. And unlike going into a gallery or museum, where chances are good you’re not allowed to touch the art and for most of us, it’s out of our price range, toys are meant to be had and handled.
What got me thinking about it is this great site that specializes in tin toy robots. Tin Toy Robot has some robots that are just oozing personality and waiting for adventure:
Meter Robot from Tin Toy Robot
New TV Robot from Tin Toy Robot

I mean no disrespect, but the meter robot looks like it dispenses meatball subs and soda. I had to scroll down to see it was a meter on his chest. Maybe I’m just hungry!
