First-Generation MP3 Player Toys

The 'iBoy' Retro Toy Figure Encourages Interaction

The 'iBoy' retro toy figure is a charming plaything for technology enthusiasts that will allow them to relive the digital user experience of yesteryear in an artistic manner. Designed by Philip Lee, the figure is inspired by the design of the original Apple iPod MP3 player and features a series of moveable components that can be reconfigured around the body of the unit. This will allow users to transform the MP3 player-inspired character into a playful toy that's perfect for placement on a workstation to enhance everyday workflow.

The 'iBoy' retro toy figure can be infinitely changed thanks to the magnetic design of its arms legs and faux headphones, while the button-based interface will provide a satisfying solution to play with between tasks.
