Earlier this year, Google introduced an updated version of its beloved Android mascot, “The Bot,” along with a collectible mini-figure that fans quickly embraced. Now, a fresh twist on that figure has emerged, as Google begins selling a glow-in-the-dark version of the Android The Bot figure. Google added this new collectible to the Merch Store in early September 2024.
Android’s “The Bot” figure gets a glowing update
Android The Bot figure, the latest incarnation of Google’s iconic mascot, now comes in a glowing version. The three-inch vinyl figure has the same shape and poseable features as its original green counterpart, but its glow-in-the-dark functionality sets it apart. By day, the figure appears white, blending into any environment. Once the lights go off, however, the figure emits a green glow, making it a playful addition to any desk or shelf.
Google describes the collectible as perfect for maintaining a fun atmosphere even after dark. The company markets the figure as a top choice for Android fans and collectors.
Limited edition collectible
The glow-in-the-dark ‘Android The Bot’ figure has limited availability. Google made only 600 units, making it a rare collectible. It is priced slightly higher than past versions at $21 in the U.S. While there are no live photos of the glowing feature, the packaging hints at its bright nighttime glow.
This exclusive collectible is expected to sell out fast. Loyal Android fans are eager to grab one. The figure’s poseable arms and antenna provide various display options, making it a fun addition.
The Android The Bot figure isn’t just for display; it comes packaged in a sleek box, making it ideal as a gift or a prized addition to any collector’s shelf. Whether for a desk, a home office, or a gift for an Android fan, this new edition adds a creative touch with its glowing feature.
Fans who miss out on this limited edition might still find opportunities to customize their Android figures, creating a unique collectible to match their style. However, for those who prefer the original Android The Bot figure, the glow-in-the-dark edition offers a special, one-of-a-kind appeal that will likely resonate with longtime supporters of the brand.
