Squid Kids Ink’s new “So Analog” line of vinyl toys feature the superhero team of 10-Doh!, A-Drive an B-Side. When they’re not fighting against the forces of progress, they are mild mannered NES Cartridge, Cassette Tape and Floppy Disk—and they reside together in the Attic of Solitude.
There’s no telling whether or not these figures will go into production, but blank versions will be available at D-Con in Pasadena, CA on November 20th.

Hey, don’t forget that cassettes kept you entertained with M.C. Hammer and, I dunno, Genesis in the ’80s and ’90s. No need to rub dirt all over the format now because you made a few bad choices back in the day.

Getting the iPhone 4 tomorrow? An investment like that requires protection of the highest caliber. And what better way to safeguard your new smartphone than a oversized hardshell cassette case? No? Did I mention that it doubles as a stand?
You can call it retro or ironic, but the idea of using a cassette tape as a mixer for your MP3 sources is certainly different. Use the cross fader so that you can make a seamless transition from Carrie Underwood to KoRn. And that is no simple feat.
