Springtime, the time of blooming and growth.
Oh Selena Gomez, Disney star of the infinitely popular (at least in my house) Disney show Wizards on Waverly Place, is apparently feeling the affects of Spring. As evidenced by her new film that had it's US premiere Sunday night in Austin: "Springbreakers"
Just like many other institutions in our pop culture, SG is going through a period of change from her soft-tweens to hard-twenties in one short step- "Springbreakers"
The movie byline reads:
"Four college girls who land in jail after robbing a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation find themselves bailed out by a drug and arms dealer who wants them to do some dirty work."
And from the 1st trailer, it's clear that this pretty Wizard was way off the safe streets of Waverly place.
She's beautiful ok sure. A naturally legit double-threat fine, but it's her emergence as "Patient Zero" to Beiber fever that sets her apart. The fever wore off, or her blood found the antidote, or her emotional immune system is stronger then the average person...whatever it is, it's impressive.
What happens now/next is the big question so MimoZine set out on the 2nd night of South by Southwest to the Springbreakers Red Carpeted to see for ourselves.
Which wasn't only the 1st US screening, with it's own innate question 'how would this extreme American reflection play to an American audience?', but it also was Selena's Texas coming out party...which we found out later added I imagine another level of butterflies to the Dallas native....
Overall I was impressed by her demeanor on-screen & off. She was vulnerable, a little short-spoken but present throughout. Like someone walking in a new place and does not yet have the feel for the new terrain but is getting it. It seems that she wants to change her own narrative and do it in a bold way, and that if nothing else has our rooting interest.
I actually think she was under-utilized in the movie but she seemed game throughout which helped display some new colors for her and for because of that the overall production benefitted. Next stop...we'lll see. Go-GoMezGo.
Stay Tune for more clips of James Franco who is the revelation of the entire movie with the creation of his character "Alien". Stay tuned for that and more clips from SX', but for now we gotta big night ahead of us!

Every year the best and most interesting innovations of electronics converges on Las Vegas and 2015 was the biggest year yet. We waded through the crowds of upwards of 150,000 so you didn't have to and captured a small fraction of all the wonder. Scans, sensors, printers, wearable, phones, friends, and electronic (and animatronic!) wonders abounded.
It's that time again, the pop-iest, most cultural time of the year and MimoZine is on the scene to give a quick tour of the convention floor... before all the chaos.
Highlights this year include the life-size (& driveable!) Darth Vader Hot Wheels car, Star Wars Rebels maquettes, Nickelodeon, Hasbro, Cartoon Network, & Gentle Giant booths. There's also a White Walker, Walking Deadheads, Rocket Raccoon, exclusives toys, DKE, Super 7 Alien, Outlanders, among many others!
Plus we have a look at the Mimo-booth with our newest series of PowerTubes! Swing by our booth #5245 & #2913 and power up!! And a most righteous Con to us all!
Thanks for checking this out. This is a video for our Kickstarter campaign. It's ourt 1st Kickstarter and we're funding our newest product: BatteryBot! A portable character- based back-up battery for tablets or any mobile devices... in signature Mimo-styled characters.
The product in the video is the MimoPower 2600 and it's one of our Kickstarter rewards for backing.
It's a great product and has a fun backstory. We ran a test for the MimoPower 2600 to test the waters and released a Limited Edition set at Comic-Con this summer. We got a nice hit and enough confidence to Kickstart BatteryBot. It's an amazing product that we're very excited about and have worked on with a lot of love.

This is the reminder to refresh your memory.
At it's resting state, humanity is a species conditioned to remember. We have many words for remembering, perhaps as many words for remembering as we have ways of doing it. What function does a museum serve? Why do we learn to forget and then to reminisce? How do we preserve a sound or a state of mind?
Early on we're taught to respect memory, to learn from it. Looking backwards supplies the lessons of the past through which we carry ourselves forward.
We are in the habbit of documenting the things we love. Photographs, recordings, notes left in hidden places, we call this nostalgia, relics in every object, every actin a monument to what's come before.

No company seemed to dominate the 80's kid culture like Hasbro. Their brands seemed to be everywhere from TV to the toy shelves and, most importantly, in our imaginations.
Hasbro has been very busy rebooting many of its 80's franchises recently like...My Little Pony! We feel, along with countless Pegasisters and Bronies out there, that the new Pony is not only different but also far superior to its 80's predecessor. This new phenomenon is built on the incredible success of the "Friendship Is Magic" animated show on the Hub, but like all great brands, the new My Little Pony seems to be many things to many different people.
Is it the positive messaging? Great characters? Sophisticated writing? Amazing voice talent including our friend Tara Strong from Harley Quinn MIMOBOT (amongst so many other things)?! Ridiculously fun music? Or is it just a diverse magical world that invites everyone and excludes only those who hate friendship?
Regardless, it's taking the world by storm as shown by the infinite Youtube tributes, fan-art, and real-world gatherings like the popular BronyCon—an annual fan convention held on the east coast for fans of all ages.
At Mimoco, we couldn't be more excited. Whether you're into My Little Pony for your own personal nostalgia or you've got Equestria Daily set as your homepage, you now have the option of storing up to 128GB of your precious data in your very own My Little Pony X MIMOBOT USB flash drivePresenting ELVIS™ X MIMOBOT®, the new king of Flash Drives!Mimoco Mimobot2013-01-08 | http://goo.gl/5yPdv
It's 1 for the Money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready, now go Mi-mo!!
On what would have been his 78th birthday, and in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Mimoco, creator of the MIMOBOT® brand of designer USB flash drives, is honored to announce their first music-inspired collaboration with none other than the "King of Rock and Roll" himself, Elvis Presley.
Elvis is the most recent addition to Mimoco's Legends of MIMOBOT series. A collection that features individuals that have influenced the modern cultural landscape, the Legends of MIMOBOT series debuted with Nobel Prize-recipient, Albert Einstein, and continued with the most influential martial artist of all time, Bruce Lee.
With ELVIS™ X MIMOBOT®, Mimoco commemorates several milestones in the everlasting legacy of "The King": the 78th anniversary of his birth; the newly proclaimed Elvis Presley Day in Memphis, Tennessee; and the 40th anniversary of Elvis' 1973 Aloha from Hawaii concert, the first live concert broadcast! The ELVIS™ X MIMOBOT® release features two design variants, both available with up to 128GB of data storage and in blazing-fast USB3.0 speeds.
But the fun doesn't stop there! The line comes preloaded with bonus Elvis Presley Mimory™ content straight from the Graceland archives like archival Elvis video interviews, rarely seen photographs, and more.
The line also comes with the MimoDesk™ personalization suite, which includes ELVIS™ X MIMOBOT® -themed wallpapers, icons, and avatars. Finally, ELVIS™ X MIMOBOT® is equipped with MimoByte™ sound software powered with an offering of iconic sounds and character dialogue that play each time ELVIS™ X MIMOBOT® is inserted in or ejected from one's computer.
Elvis was truly the 1st Rock & Roll superstar. Hopefully these little drives will honor his legacy by helping old and new Elvis enthusiasts live their digital dreams. In the words of the King himself, thank you thank you very much!Rancho Obi-Wan: the greatest Star Wars collection ever!Mimoco Mimobot2012-11-28 | http://blog.mimoco.com/rancho-obi-wan
When it comes to collecting Star Wars memorabilia Steve Sansweet wrote the book. Actually, he's written 16 of them that are must haves for any die-hard Star Wars fan. When Mimozine reached out to Steve, he was gracious enough to give us a personal tour of his revered Star Wars collection which he's converted into an impressive non-profit museum in Northern California named Rancho Obi-Wan.

The Cute and Ugly Designs of Pretty Ugly's Uglydoll™ Franchise Cross-Over into the Realm of the MIMOBOT® Collection!
Mimoco®, creator of the MIMOBOT® line of designer USB flash drives, is teaming up with Pretty Ugly to release four very cute and very ugly Uglydoll x MIMOBOT flash drive designs. Premiering at New York Comic Con 2012 (Booth #3111), each Uglydoll X MIMOBOT flash drive holds up to 64GBs of data and comes preloaded with bonus Mimory™ and the MimoDesk™ personalization suite of Uglydoll-themed digital extras.
What is ugly? What is cute? The Uglydoll line of designer plush toys questions traditional definitions of both concepts. Reimagined in classic MIMOBOT form and function, four favorite Uglydoll characters make portable data storage ugly and simply irresistible.
Wage™ MIMOBOT® features the character that started the Uglydoll phenomenon. Co-creator David Horvath originally drew Wage at the bottom of a love letter to his then-faraway girlfriend, Sun-Min Kim. Love made it all possible when Miss Kim responded by sewing a plush doll of the design and sending it back to Mr. Horvath. Now that Wage is a MIMOBOT USB flash drive, David and Sun-Min can share up to 64GBs of loving designs with each other!
Other great Uglydoll designs in the Uglydoll X MIMOBOT Series include the blue and toothy Ice-Bat™ MIMOBOT, the pink and always hungry for cookies Babo™ MIMOBOT, and the knocked-out and loaded OX™ MIMOBOT. Your 'bot may not win a beauty competition, but these little uglies are all heart while loving you and your data!
"The Uglydoll X MIMOBOT collection stars some of our favorite contemporary indie characters of all time," says Scott Seraydarian, Director of Media at Mimoco. "The Ugly philosophy promoting love, friendship and cuteness (...even in an ugly way) is a perfect fit for Mimoco. We're extremely excited to collaborate with David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim on their signature brand and can't wait to share our crossover series with Uglydoll fans around the globe."
"Fans now have a place to store all of their amazing Uglydoll photos! We won't be surprised if they scoop them all up and display them on a shelf, they are simply that awesome! We are excited for this launch in the Mimoco booth at the New York Comic Con and are thrilled to have our first collection of MIMOBOT." says Alita Friedman, Pretty Ugly Partner and Chief Brand Officer.
The Uglydoll X MIMOBOT Series is now available at www.mimoco.com, specialty stores worldwide, and makes its premier appearance at Mimoco's New York Comic Con booth (#3111) on Oct. 11-14 at the Javits Center. Get ugly and get cute with the Uglydoll X MIMOBOT SeriesLegends of MIMOBOT - Bruce LeeMimoco Mimobot2012-08-07 | www.mimoco.com
Bruce Lee pioneered the martial arts movie genre, developed his own style of martial arts called Jeet Kune Do, and introduced the discipline, power, and speed of martial arts to the western world. Now, Bruce Lee is, quite literally, the most kick-ass MIMOBOT flash drive ever made. This battle tested Bruce Lee MIMOBOT has the tiger claw cuts, yellow tracksuit, and matching nunchucks, and the suave determination that made the Legend himself so iconic. The bad guys won't get near your data, not if Bruce Lee MIMOBOT has something to say about it.Goooo Joe! G.I. JOE Mimbots are here!Mimoco Mimobot2012-07-10 | www.mimoco.com
Introducing the new G.I. JOE character-based MIMOBOT flash drives. These releases are Mimoco's second collection featuring Hasbro franchises, re-imagined in MIMOBOT® flash drive form and function.

JOE PSA's, alongside bonus Mimory™ & mimoDesk™ suites of G.I. JOE screensavers, avatars, and wallpapers and mimoByte™ sound software that plays whenever a G.I. JOE X MIMOBOT is plugged into your computer!
"We've been working with Hasbro on this particular set of 80's re-imagination for sometime and we hope others respond to its 'Rad Factor' as much as we do. The power of the 80s just can't be denied... this one amazing era produced so much that still thrives today...and right at the top of the list for us are G.I. JOE," says Mimoco's Director of Media & Licensing, Scott Seraydarian. "But in spite of all the reboots that have been coming out recently, we felt that the 80's classics still weren't getting the love they so richly deserve. Following Mimoco's core philosophy of "Refresh your Memory", we set out to change that. "Refreshing Your Memory" is the collision of what's known and what's new... something familiar, yet fresh. These traits are embodied perfectly in this series. So Gooo MIMO-JOE!!"
SNAKE EYES MIMOBOT® - SNAKE EYES is the code name of one of the original and most mysterious members of the G.I. JOE team.

Dressed in his white ninja bodysuit and balaclava, and armed with his longbow, and samurai sword, STORM SHADOW MIMOBOT is ready to store and transport your data with stealth cunning!
COBRA COMMANDER MIMOBOT® - The leader and founder of terrorist organization, COBRA, COBRA COMMANDER wants nothing more than total control of the world.

He will stop at nothing in his quest for total domination; he needs only to gain access to your data, documents, music, and pictures for the world to crumble under his iron fist!Mimoco presents Superman vs. The FlashMimoco Mimobot2012-07-03 | www.mimoco.com
Who would win in a race Superman or the Flash?
There is a case to be made for either. Now on the one side The Man of Steel can travel as fast as a speeding bullet.
On the other, The Scarlet Speedster can break the sound barrier and at times faster then light.
We thought this challenge would be an excellent way to introduce the newest members of the Mimobot Designer Flash Drive collection.
The Man of Steel is now the ultimate in transportable data! Don't be Clark Kent! Take off those glasses, tear open your shirt, and save the day with all of your music, pics, and documents at the tip of your fingers. All of it will be packaged as one of the most iconic super heroes of all time, complete with red cape, S-shield, and swooping hair. When you need your digital data, Superman MIMOBOT will be there to save the day!
The Flash™ X MIMOBOT® - Store and transport your data at lightning fast speeds with the ultimate self-referential flash drive of all time, The Flash MIMOBOT designer USB flash drive. Could there be a more perfect character for a character-based flash drive? The answer, of course, is no.

Oh, wait, there it is!"

Mimoco was treated to a very special performance by The Boss & The E Street Band at Austin City Limits' intimate Moddy Theatre. As the keynote speaker for SXSW Music 2012, Springsteen's show was highly anticipated and tix were distributed through a lottery system. Luckily, Mimoco won admission to a show that proved to be part concert, part folk protest rally, part baptist revival... or should we say, folk revival.
As the 2 hr. + show unfolded, original members of the E Street band were joined by special guests like Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, The Arcade Fire, and Jimmy Cliff, featured here. Jimmy looked and sounded great and his energy cleared rubbed off on The Boss.
Refresh your memory, enjoy a little Bruce & Jimmy Cliff!Pi Day & Einsteins Bday Party at SxSWMimoco Mimobot2012-03-14 | www.mimoco.com

This character cuts right to the chase. Who needs that bushy head of hair?! Let's see the amazing brain from which all Einstein's theories emanated! Well, okay! The Brainstein design celebrates the bulging mind of the good doctor, and is the perfect portable storage device for all your data, from complex cosmic theorems to pictures from that vacation in the Caribbean. With up to 64GB of memory, Brainstein™ MIMOBOT is always the smartest flash drive in the room.Mimocos MimoZine at Toy Fair NYC 2012Mimoco Mimobot2012-02-15 | www.mimoco.com
MimoZine correspondent, Alec, was on the ground at NYC's Toy Fair, taking a look at all the great new toys and gadgets being released this year. We look at, try out, and talk to the future of fun things and we want to take you along for the ride.
Mimoco was at Toy Fair for the fun and to show off the latest MIMOBOT flash drive designs and the newest product, MIMOMicro SD card reader and drive.Billy Dee Williams interviewed by the Super Sucklord for MimocoMimoco Mimobot2012-02-08 | http://mimoco.com
"Billy Dee @#$&%& Williams." Pretty much says it all. Bootleg toy designer, Star Wars nerd, star of Bravo's Work of Art and MimoZine correspondent, The Super Sucklord, sits down with the legendary Duke of Smooth, Mr. Billy Dee Williams. Lando. Cal. Rissian. Works everytime. Yes.
MimoZine sat down with Mr. Williams at the Mimobot booth at Comic-Con and got a look at how Mr. Williams approached the role of Han Solo's pirate friend, and at how the public's perception of the actor's persona may not give him full credit as a classy gentleman.
Refresh Your Memory. You Enjoy Billy Dee @#$&%& Williams.Legends of MIMOBOT Collection 1 - Albert EinsteinMimoco Mimobot2012-01-25 | www.mimoco.com
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science." Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is the most iconic scientific figure of the modern era, and is a symbol of the incredible advancements in science and learning humanity has made in the last century. With his signature bushy hair and mustache, Einstein™ MIMOBOT reveals his lighthearted side when you remove his cap, exposing the USB plug and Einstein's playful pose with tongue sticking out. Just like the real thing, Einstein™ MIMOBOT does the heavy computing, but this time stores and transports your documents, music, photos, and data, rather than unifying theories of relativity.
Hot off the heels of his short yet sweet run on Bravo's Work-of-Art, the Super Sucklord takes his bootleg homage style into a few new directions ~ mashing up the Occupy Wall Street movement & Transformers.
Here's what he says himself in the Press Release:
"On December 7th, the Sucklord, acting as the leader of the Decepticons ~ "Maximus Profets", will defend his vast fortunes against a solidarity protest of Autobots, AKA the 99%, who will attempt to"occupy" the End of Century retail space and gallery in New York City's Lower East Side."
It was a classic Sucklord affair w/The Crystal Pharoah on the turntables, some hot new figures, and theatrics galore! In fact MimoZine got in on some Gonzo Journalism to get inside the Autobot 1% protests and see 1st hand how benevolent the Super Sucklord has really become.
MimoZine was onsite for one of Sanrio's coolest 50th Anniversary celebrations, "Kitty in Pink: Retro 80's Prom Party"!

We love our new Emily the Strange MIMOBOT flash drives. At San Diego Comic Con 2011, MimoZine had the opportunity to catch-up w/ Emily designer Rob Reger. He had some enlightening details about who Emily is, why she's so cool, and why it's awesome that she's now a MIMOBOT flash drive. Check it!
NY Comic Con is something we always look forward to, year after year. We get to release our latest designs (like Emily the Strange MIMOBOT), hang with our friends in the Cultyard (the section of the Con specifically laid-out for lifestyle brands and designer toys), and generally have more fun then the other shows of the year.
This year the fun quotient was fulfilled with our friends at Toy Tokyo as we co-hosted another awesome NYCC After Party at TT's Underground Gallery.
The drinks were flowing, the music was pumping (was that Stefan from the Microsexuals on the 1's & 2's?), and the vibes were extremely vibey. It was a blast & provided a much needed chance to cut loose with some of our closest friends & favorite designers.
It also gave us a chance to ask, "What's YOUR future memory?"NYCC New York Comic-Con - Cultyard TourMimoco Mimobot2011-10-14 | www.mimoco.com
Well it's that time again, a good serving of East Coast fan-fun! MimoZine spent the 1st Preview Night to take a tour of the CULTYARD one of the coolest section of the whole Con...if we do say so ourselves. http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/Whats-Happening/The-Cultyard

This year at San Diego Comic-Con, mimoZine had the honor of talking to Tara Strong, Voice Artist Extraordinaire, who has brought such iconic characters to life as: Little Mermaid, Hello Kitty, and most recently Harley Quinn(!) in the follow-up to the hit Batman video Game Arkham Asylum.
Tara tells us about how it all got started for her, how she develops her character's voices, and what it was like to bring such a sexily infamous character like Harley Quinn to life.
Tara also did a signing at the Mimobot booth and we got a chance to see her among her legion of fans!
