Sand Moving Crab Roboto: Game Concept and Toy Design

A Sand-Moving Crab Roboto, who helps Sandy and her village move sand around to build sand castles (when it wants to at least). Bumbling, distractible, and piloted by a crab, this robot is the peak of magical technological design.

Now also a toy (but not yet available for sale - I only made one prototype so far).

I designed the concept in Photoshop, modeled it in Blender, 3D printed a prototype, painted and finished it, and released it into the wild.

Maybe at some point I'll also do stop motion animation with it?
