Danbo-Destiny

If you’ve read Yotsuba&! (if not you should stop everything and go read it, srsly), you may have come across this character:

Danbo

Danbo Attacks!

For some reason, Amazon.com seems to have embraced this character on an official basis. I acquired from one of their campus visits a T-shirt that is basically Danbo made out of Amazon.com boxes.

So I was wearing that shirt and walking around Taipei Main Station. There’s this place called K-Mall that sells video games and toys in floor B1. I walk into this one toy store and I see this on the shelf:

Amazon.co.jp Danbo Revoltech Figure

Amazon.co.jp Danboard Revoltech Figure

It’s a Danbo Revoltech figure ver. Amazon.co.jp! The eyes even light up! I figure it’s destiny and I bought it on the spot.

  2. The Bonkler says

    I bought mine at K-Mall, it’s a building next to the Mitsukoshi near Taipei Main Station off the MRT.

    In the basement level, there’s an anime goods store that I bought the danbo at.

    If you want some more recommendations on places to buy anime things in Taipei, check out this post:

    how much you pay for that little cute thing?

  4. The Bonkler says

    Hmm, sorry, I don’t remember, but I’ll guess around 1000 NT or $30USD?

  5. dreamtime says

  6. The Bonkler says

    To be honest, it was a while ago so I might have the price wrong. $30 USD might just be wishful thinking on my part.
