Amazon Box Bots Invade Japan
     



They have giant heads with glowing eyes and they want you to shop at
Amazon. They're Box Bots, the latest Japanese corporate mascot. I
spotted the first ones in paulpham's
flickr stream but once you start looking, you'll see them
everywhere. In addition to illuminated eyes, the 13cm tall robots
have articulated legs, arms, and neck.  They are
offcially known as Revoltech Danboard
robots. Danboard is from the Japanese word danboru which translates
as "cardboard". Apparently, some people are even
modding them into Mega
Box Bots. You can buy your
own from Amazon Japan. Hey Amazon Japan - send us a couple of Box
Bots!
