Robo Scraplets are sneaky. Like little metallic leeches they attached themselves to the Time Machine and tricked their way to present day, happier with the pace of life it offers. They've each undertaken the task of choosing their own names with vigour, immersing their daft little selves in the popular culture of the last thirty years.
"Richard Smint, -222, Slough. This handsome little Robo Scraplet is a big fan of the great dictators. He's got a shed down the allotment with framed pictures of all the good ones on the wall - we've got the young Stalin there, Hitler obviously, Kim Il-sung and Chairman Mao. Mussolini is his favourite though, he's got the biggest picture.
He's not too keen on the 'modern' dictators though - he says they haven't really proved themselves yet.
Once fell in love with a potato when he was on holiday in Spain."

There's a whole cast of fun (and insane) Scraplet characters available in my Etsy store and on www.scraplets.co.uk. Take a look at @scraplets on Instagram for daily Scraplet updates and enter their magical world, listen to their favourite music and get some terrific life advice.
£4 UK P&P across the board for up to 2KG of Scraplets. That’s Royal Mail 2nd class parcel service for you, and the cost of a cardboard box. You might as well buy a family of them given the postage situation...
NB - Scraplets are NOT toys for children, to be honest. They're wood decor. Put simply, they're not really suitable for unsupervised use by children - they've got nails and screws sticking out of them. Common sense and vigilance is advised at all times.
Viva le Scraplets!
