Juan Maclean Has A Mascot.

NookaNooka watch/toy company has designed a special "melancholy robot" Juan Maclean toy.

More the the NoonaNooka site with also features a making of video:

"The Juan Maclean NookaNooka is the not-too-distant relative of Nooka's official mascot, the NookaNooka. Born from the sci-fi influences and music of DFA Records' The Juan Maclean, and Nooka's decidedly different approach to design, our little robot friend will be hitting the road this month and next with The Juan Maclean and making appearances at select shows."
