With this design I set out to make something that was expressive yet simple. With four legs and a tiltable head the little TV can display a range of emotions, despite its lack of a face!

I experimented with a few gimmicks in this toy, including a temperature-based colour changing shell and a glow-in-the-dark screen, but what surprised me about this toy is that he worked very well as a display trinket. Customers send back pictures of the TV on display, usually standing him on a desk, bookshelf, or beside an actual (but rarely analog of course) TV!
