This is my brother's birthday today! As a sweet, awesome sister (lol), I made him a paper model Danbo (a toy he mentioned about buying) and placed it on his desk this morning while he went to the bathroom. He was so surprised when he returned and had fun posing the Danbo.
Yes the arms and feet are movable. Yes it is made out of paper. Very cool isn't it? I found this awesome template on DA and completed the mission with this tutorial video. I made it with 80lb cover paper so it feels better. The whole process was fun, though cutting out the pieces alone took me almost 1.5 hours! Well...I wanted it to be PERFECT for my brother^^
Danbo was only an "appetizer" for this special day. The main dish is...(drum)...Toro!
Toro the Songy Cat is my brother's favorite character. Unfortunately, Toro is not as well-known in the U.S. as in Japan or Hong Kong. This makes finding its product difficult. I even tried browsing a few Japanese websites with Google Translate. Luckily I was able to find these cuties on eBay from a HK-based seller and they are actually the special edition plushies for the Space Invader 30th anniversary. I think it is perfect for his birthday which is on the 30th!
My brother was very happy about these Toro plushies, which made me very happy too. And we rounded the day up with a red bean green tea muffin cake. I am going to take him out for dinner on the weekend so hopefully he will enjoy that as well.
哥哥, 生日快樂!!!
