Just one look at the picture of [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daisy-chain) Seller Larriva’s Robo CoCo is almost enough to get the idea that the Conan O'Brien Robo-Toy is about the creepiest tribute to the late night star since he was unfairly turfed.

The Robo Coco is a jumpy little [mechanical device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pomodoro-bot) with a polymer clay and acrylic CoCo head mounted on it that will dance its way into your heart. Well, maybe not, but the Conan O'Brien Robo-Toy would be a great gift for Leno, (to help him sleep at night.)
