I've always thought of baby mobiles as colorful and whimsical things parents put above their children's cribs to keep them calm and entertained, not a means of scaring a child into worrying about aliens. The Space Invaders mobile, created by Chicago artist pixelparty turns the usually innocent mobile into a retro geek (and slightly creepy) art piece. It's made from wool felt, dowels and cord and features nine individual “invaders” as well as one “laser base." It costs $70 at Etsy. Is this the perfect gift for a gamer's baby, or too geeky to put in a child's room?

Wow. When I read the headline I got really excited because I thought it was Space Invaders for your (mobile) PHONE!
Does that make ME geeky or chic?
1awe!!! this is so cute!
2Maybe it should be more colorful, though?
3how cute for a boys room! would be nice if it came in different colors
4Adorable, but sadly babies aren't old enough to appreciate nostalgia.
5i don't think the baby will appreciate it either.. i hope it wouldn't frighten them either...
6Geeky but hilarious!
7not too geeky to put in a kids room. it's really cute
8sooo kyuuuute!!!!
970 dollars?!
10These scare me. They look like spiders crawling down from the cieling.
11Those are pretty! Cute enough not to look like spiders, which scare the heck out of me.
12freaky
13why do you need it above a crib or in a child's room? i could see this being used elsewhere. so geeky chic.
14i don't like it, and i doubt it if a baby would too
15I'd love this for my robot-themed baby room, if it only had some color or contrast. It's really sad, because actually FINDING A SPACE INVADERS MOBILE was so exciting (er, try to have a robot/space-themed room that doesn't have pastels in it, and you'll know what I mean).
16hey, that's my mobile. just noticed it. I'd be glad to do one in a custom color for anyone. please contact me via http://pixelparty.etsy.com if you're interested
