PIPEROIDS paper robots have long ruled the robot block here at Modern Mouse, but they’re now joined by a new friend — Ritz the Robot from Robot in the City! Ritz (seen here talking to Hammer Rose and Muscle Joe) and the PIPEROIDS have been getting to know each other since Ritz arrived at the store yesterday in the hands of Alexander Shen (whom we’re ever so grateful to fun and faithful Modern Mouse customer Shannon for introducing us to)!
