Danbo has arrived!

[Allegresse]

Don't worry, it was actually Danbo, and not laminate flooring. ;)

Danbo and I had a lot of fun unboxing and taking photos in the beautiful SoCal afterglow. There are lots of good times ahead for us, I can just feel it!

@inara think its a chinese thing originally. Its a universal thing now.

[Richard]

Been taken some shot with mine too. My danbob has two stormtrooper friends

[Allegresse]

@inara Thanks! Actually, it's a Japanese thing. Kaiyodo is the manufacturer. You can learn more about it here: http://heydanbo.com/i-want-a-danbo/

@jsw0109 Jeff, they are really cute, aren't they? Actually, they are not all that expensive if you know where to look. I got mine from eBay for $25. Not that much, really. The thing is, Kaiyodo (the manufacturer) will not ship overseas. So, I got mine from an eBay seller in Japan who ordered it from Kaiyodo, then sold it to me. It came new in box. =) But, yes, as @spankyjane says, you can make one!

@tanja_1211 Mine was only $25, new in box, from eBay. ;)

@brav awesome shot! I love the idea of Stormtroopers skipping rope, ha ha!

@mittens @nadaa @paulavdmerwe @boycotting @grizzlysghost @chriskhuong @lstasel @yonnie

Thanks! We are going to have fun. Been wanting one for awhile. It was a belated Christmas gift from my hubby. Incidentally, we are going to take Danbo with us tomorrow on our photo date/adventure to the mountains. :D
