Mimoco is the company behind those adorable and stylish USB storage devices. At CES today, Mimoco announced their latest line of USB Flash Drives, Mimomicro. The Mimomicro is a smaller line but also has increased functionality. The USB flash drive has interchangeable microSD memory cards but can also be a reader to transport data between digital devices.

The Mimomicro has a flip-out USB plug and a built in keychain with a LED indicator light. It’s only 1.6″H and 1.0″ W which is super tiny. In March, the first two collections will launch featuring designs from Star Wars and DC characters.

“As the pioneers in the licensed flash drive marketplace, Mimoco is excited to unveil our first new product line to build upon the success of our popular MIMOBOT platform. MIMOMICRO leverages compatibility with both USB and microSD enabled memory devices and taps into the growing usage of mobile memory solutions,” said Evan Blaustein, CEO of Mimoco.

The devices are so cute (I want Wonder Woman!) but no mention of price. We’ll update you in March with that info!

GamingAngels has been addicted to Mimoco for years now. I remember seeing them at SDCC thinking, what in the world? Designer USB drives? But it works! Since launching five years ago, Mimoco has created original characters, Star Wars and Hello Kitty characters.

“Our fans are extremely passionate about our ‘bots, and part of bringing back the old favorites is to offer our loyal fans the MIMOBOT drives that started it all,” says founder Evan Blaustein. “Celebrating our five-year anniversary is a milestone event for us and we’re stoked for what’s in store on the MIMOBOT horizon for this and many seasons to come.”

Starting today, Mimoco is re-releasing the four original limited edition Series Characters.

There will also be exclusive characters at San Diego Comic Con and Star Wars Celebration.

Mimobots are a fan favorite for any geek or geekette.  There is nothing like expressing your geek love through your USB.

This collection entitled “A New Hope” will have R2-D2, Jawa, multiple Stormtroopers and of course, Obi Wan Kenobi. A little side note, Obi Wan Kenobi was chosen through the first ever Mimobot Star Wars  Audience Choice poll.

What’s the story behind Adios and Ciao Ciao?
“As legend has it, Adios spent 500 years in fire and brimstone before the devil discovered his good-natured ways and kicked him out of hell. Too mischievous for heaven, Adios was condemned to live forever on earth, in his modern grave-loft with his girlfriend Ciao Ciao. Together, Adios and Ciao Ciao wander the world, sharing with others how to make the most out of this life…A perfect love story for fashion-tech lovers everywhere.”
