Combat Radio Breakfast with Santa

We are charging our batteries in preparation for the 3rd annual breakfast, which benefits homeless children. This years event will be huge, and we look forward to working with Combat Radio to give the kids a wonderful day.

Variety Children's Charity

My R2-D2 replica was used for a shoot sponsored by Lucasfilm. The video will run in theaters all over the country this holiday season. Or you can view the video here: Variety Video

Comikaze 2013 was awesome!

We had a great time last weekend, and met so many WALL-E fans. Thanks to everyone that made this event one of our favorites!

R2/ WALL-E Appearance Dates

R2-D2 will be taking to the red carpet on August 18 at the historic Avalon Theater in Hollywood for the 1st Annual Geekie Awards (http://www.thegeekieawards.com/).

It looks like our next public appearance with WALL-E will be with Michael Senna and his WALL-E's (he built two!), at Comikaze Expo in Los Angeles (http://comikazeexpo.com/). The event will be held November 1-3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. We hope to see you all there!

I would like to thank everyone who called and emailed this week regarding the Tested.com video (http://www.tested.com/art/makers/456998-making-real-life-size-wall-e-robot-geek-week/). It was a great deal of fun to make, and it hit over 1 Million views in just the first few days! You all have been very supportive of this most unusual hobby and I am truly grateful for all the support and encouragement.

Scaled Composites/ Virgin Galactic Trip

We had so much visiting our friends out in Mojave. Everyone had a great time, and R2 had his picture taken with some incredible aircraft and spaceships!

Disney Museum Visit

We had such a wonderful time at the Walt Disney Family Museum...so many kind and generous people, and WALL-E was very well received. Our friend, Bob Gurr was on hand as well as animatronic designer Garner Holt and voice actor Bill Farmer. We also met Walt's Granddaughter Joanna Miller, who absolutely loved the robot! This was our second visit of what looks to be an annual event for us.

Walt Disney Museum Visit!

WALL-E will once again be on display at the Walt Disney Family Museum this weekend (June 22) from 12 noon until 2pm. Come by and say hello!

Preschool Visit

We had great fun bring the WALL-E's and R2-D2 to visit a Southern California Preschool. The kids were very attentive and asked a ton of questions. They even made a list of their favorite portions of the visit.
