Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

July 15, 2013 By 29 Comments

This week’s assignment from the League: Robots!

league robots

Danger! Danger! Danger! Pacific Rim has finally hit the theaters, and it seems like everyone is now an expert on giant monster-fighting robots. I thought it would be fun to talk about all the different mechanical wonders that have appeared in our pop culture. This week’s assignment for the League of Extraordinary Bloggers…

Robots!

transforming collections - Philip ReedSpeaking of robots, I am going to give away a signed copy of Philip Reed’s new book, Transforming Collections, to one lucky League member who contributes this week. This essential guide to third-party Transformers toys was only offered to its Kickstarter backers, so don’t go looking for it in stores–write an awesome blog post this week, and it can be yours for free!

REMEMBER!: The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

league logoOnce you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    I’m pretty sure no one else is talking about the Hitachi-Bot from 1981… 😉

      And THAT is why someone has to. That poor little guy appeared in a sex-tape with Dustin Diamond and just never recovered.

        When will the world stop fawning over cute young robots only to drop them like last week’s meatloaf when they hit those awkward teen years?

    “Roll out!” he commanded ironically as the Trans-Formers barely get a mention in his post.

    Ok, so after writing this topic I firmly believe that my robot knowledge is sad. Like really sad. http://diaryofadorkette.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-fear-of-robots.html
