WHAT IS A TEKKIE?⌨

Y2T or Tekkies are born from the feeling of longing for the old internet.They're digital creatures that can live inside an old PC, a cassette player, an USB, an old cellphone, etc. As long as it's old tech made in the 2000s they'll call it a home. They don't speak any known language but are able to communicate between them with electronic synthetic sounds and beeps.

WHERE CAN I GET ONE?

You can buy tekkies on my VGen Shop or check out the latest models on my Toyhouse profile, links to the store and TH folder are below:

MINITEKKIES ↩

Minitekkies (USB) are a subtype/addons for Tekkies that are smaller and behave more like pets/companions. They have looped magnet tails that work as a keychain to avoid getting lost. They also mimic the Tekkie that owns them or that they bonded with.

MIMIC ADDON ↪

For all my customers that have previously adopted a Tekkie and want to get a MiniTekkie: You can get a personalized Mini with the characteristics of the Tekkie you have. For example if you have a Strangeware or Cybernaut tekkie, the Mini will adopt some visual aspects of your Tekkie. This is totally optional and you can have their default mini version as well. Is up to you!
