Danbo

[Emily]

I really want a Danbo, but I don't know where to find one that is affordable for me...I looked on amazon and the ones they had were kind of expensive...If you know of any place online or at a mall that sells a Danbo figurine please let me know! :) Thanks!

[Phil]

Not sure what one is, Emily. Have you had a look on ebay?

[Emily]

@filsie65 - I did look on eBay there are cheaper ones on there! Check out @tigervolleyball project, Sarah has quite a few pictures with a Danbo in it!

@emilymarieley eBay is your best bet, but yeah they are quite expensive unfortunately

I believe a Danbo is an Amazon item. If it is trendy, you pay. Have fun.

ok if you want one but cant afford one the next best thing is to make one... here is a paper craft site that has a downloadable pdf of Danbo...

I got mine off of eBay, it seemed to have the best prices :)
Nikkers has a good idea, you can make one! It looks hard though!

One of mine came from ebay and the larger one I ordered directly from Japan which was on a pre-order system. The larger one took 3 months to arrive. Original Danbo's are not cheap unfortunatley, I paid sily prices for both of mine. Though I have seen that there are some fake or non original Danbo's lurking on ebay now and then and even in photos.
I love my two, and I am glad I paid the price for them to be honest, I have had so much fun with them :)

@eyebrows @cluvlj @nikkers @cheyrebecca @michelleyoung - Thanks so much everyone! I found one that I'm hoping my parents will let me get :) I was just wondering, is there a little guy in every Danbo?

@emilymarieley Technically a little girl. I made a site with all the background info, but haven't updated it for a while (or: ever)...

@michelleyoung - How can you tell the difference? I realize the homemade ones are not original. I'm kind of afraid to ask, but are mine fake? :(

[Michelle]

@cheyrebecca
Cheyenne, most of the fake ones have none of the Amazon markings on them... Then its a question of packaging, whether they arrived in the amazon box that were specifically designed for them.. Your little Danbo carries all of the Amazon markings, but I could not see them on the larger Danbo, but he may have them from a different view or if he came in the original Amazon styled box you know he is ok x

@michelleyoung Oh good!!!! My big guy came in a danbo box with the changeable head. Thanks!!!! Glad to know I didn't pay so much for a fake!!! I have another mini one on the way :)) Can't wait to get it!!!!

@cheyrebecca The boy is called Miura :) In manga, Miura dresses up as Danbo :)

Here is some more detail about the different Danbos :)
