The gold (well, bronze) standard for merch
I don’t buy video game merch, and if I did buy video game merch I wouldn’t buy statues, and yet… my heart melts looking atMachinarium’s hot new merch drop. Amanita are selling a limited run of bronze statuettes of the adventure game’s adorable scrap robot star, Josef, and I love him. 405 grams of bronze might sound cold to hold but I know he’d warm my heart.

“Machinarium is an extraordinarily beautiful creation,” John Walker (RPS in peace) said in ourMachinarium reviewback in 2009. “It’s a sort of beauty that games are almost never graced with.” It is very pretty. And prettiest of all is our special little boy, scrap robot Josef.
This little guy!
Amanita’s merch storehas opened pre-order for the €249 (£210) cast bronze statuette of our boy. Standing 14 centimetres tall, he is striking a cute pose because he can only be cute.
I’m not saying you should buy one. But if you do buy one, you should hold that precious boy tight. Even if your body reacts with the copper and turns your skin green. That green patch should be a badge of pride.
