To initiate mimoco's first crossover, we teamed with Chicago-based Shawnimals who expressly created the LOVE / HATE Wee Ninja™ x mimobot™ characters (edition of 333). Watch out because these two sneaky and deadly cute ninjas are troubled souls - they're designed for hugs, yet trained to kill. So, while you can rest assured your data will remain safe from any clandestine threats, it's probably best to keep LOVE / HATE on your BFF list.

LOVE / HATE come loaded with a variety of Shawnimal bonus schtuff like desktops, avatars, and other such Wee Ninja x mimobot treats guaranteed to take you down to Ninjatown. And known worldwide for their handmade plush, who better than Shawnimals to show you how to get creative with your bad self. For better or worse, you'll learn how to craft your own mimobot x Wee Ninja plush. Or else, fear the wrath of LOVE / HATE!

LOVE/HATE plushAnd for those wishing for a LOVE / HATE plush crafted by the master, Shawnimal has prepared a super-special edition of 20 12" tall mimobot x Wee Ninja pairs to complete the ultimate bundle of Wee Ninja x mimobot LOVE / HATE.

Since 2001 in pursuit of all things plushy, Shawnimal Smith and partner in crime, Jen Brody, have made hundreds of handmade plush creatures, 370 different characters to be exact. Their creations - some big, some small, and each with a name, story and origin - populate the cute and eccentric Shawnimaland. Recent projects include Ninjatown, the home of LOVE / HATE, where ninjas are trained in the art of the sacred stealth hug.
