Fossil Atari Watches
by Ami Kealoha
Cool Hunting reader and del.icio.us user bradyj points us to the limited edition Asteroids-themed watch, the first in a collection dosed with vintage Atari graphics and animation by Fossil. Forthcoming styles due out by the end of September include Asteroids, Centipede (pictured here), and Breakout, each available in either a metal or leather band. The major drawback is that they're unplayable, but it doesn't seem to diminish their retro-geek looks.
Available online at Fossil and in stores nationwide for about $85. The limited edition Asteroids runs $125.

Munny
by Ami Kealoha
Following the success of Kidrobot's Dunny, the Bunny-esque doll that's been made over by some 60 artists (with a 3rd edition in the works), this coming November 3rd will launch Munny, the first DIY soft vinyl toy. A tabula rasa surface primes the 7" monkey-slash-alien figure for coloring, dressing, or otherwise customizing. Each doll, available in white, black, or glow-in-the-dark, comes with four mystery accessories, a surprise coloring book, and a "hello my name is" sticker. Designed by man-of-many-talents and Kidrobot founder Paul Budnitz with his longtime collaborator, artist Tristan Eaton, Dunny continues the Kidrobot tradition of reinventing toys for this millenium.
The Munny will be available at all Kidrobot stores, on their website, and at other select stores, ranging from about $25-30.
