This is an awesome toy. Who among us hasn’t dressed up as a cardboard robot as a child or even as an adult when we’ve needed a good costume cheap? If you don’t know who Danboard is read below:

From the Japanese manga comic Yotsubato!, Danboard (from the Japanese word “danboru,” which means “cardboard”) is a robot costume made of cardboard, in which the character Miura suits up and moves when coins are inserted into the slot on the left side of the chest. This 13cm-tall (5″) Revoltech release of Danboard is articulated in at least the neck, shoulders, and legs, and has eyes that light up when the button on the right side of the head is pressed (a test button battery is included)! Miura’s head is included to reveal the cardboard robot’s true identity, and there’s also a custom display and an 8mm joint to connect Miura’s head to the body.

Also available is the limited edition Amazon.co.jp box version. Which is even cooler I think.

If you get more than one Danboard figure, you can link them up and create a super Danboard robot as seen here. Lots of crazy hijinx happening with Danboard.
