Mini collectible figures can add some cheer or whimsy to your day, but imagine how much brighter your day would be if those figures were mechanised? If every co-worker interruption was met with a series of flashing lights and beeps from your 3″ Android collectible, perhaps you would be less annoyed. (Perhaps not. It’s still a cool project.)

The engineering directions from Instructables user tanabata can also be adapted to other types of collectible figures, as long as there’s space for all the parts.
