Yotsuba to! - Danbo figure, Nendoroid

From Yotsuba&! by Kiyohiko Azuma, Danbo is a beloved character known for its minimalist, charming cardboard-box design. Although not a real robot, Danbo is actually a school project costume built by one of Yotsuba’s friends—but that hasn’t stopped it from gaining worldwide popularity.

Danbo appears in several memorable chapters of the manga, usually in humorous or heartwarming situations. Despite its rigid look, Danbo manages to express a surprising range of emotions. This light-up version captures the magic of the character perfectly, straddling the line between object and soul.

The figure stays true to Danbo’s iconic design: boxy body and head, two round eyes, a triangle mouth, and a button detail on the chest. The tilted head adds a slightly confused or curious touch. Visible joints in the arms and legs suggest some posability.

Standing around 10 cm tall, this Nendoroid figure is made of ABS and PVC. It features a built-in light function (eyes), bringing Danbo to life when activated. Compact, expressive, and instantly recognizable, it’s a must-have for fans of iconic manga characters.
