I wouldn't mind owning a Duffy, however - I still have my 'famous' stuffed animals like an Ewok, Gizmo from "Gremlins," a California Raisin, that annoying Snuggle bear, a Sesame Street character or two, and of course, the standard Snoopy, Mickey and Pooh. I certainly would gladly welcome Duffy into the 'family,' but I just would never carry him with me.I have to admit - I'm one of the ones who doesn't 'get' the whole Duffy phenomenon because he was just kind of sprung on DCA without any real intro. No movies, no TV series, nothing. It was just sort of like, "Well, the Japanese folks love Duffy, here's his back story, and you guys should love him too." And there he was. Other than the Mickey icons on his paws and face and the cute little outfits, he doesn't look that much different from other cute bears to me.
Also, I would never carry a Duffy around with me because I am simply too klutzy, and I carry so much stuff with me to begin with that it would just annoy me to have to carry around an extra thing. Duffy would probably end up damaged, lost or tossed overboard in POTC by the end of the day!
BUT, I have greatly come to appreciate all of the photos with Duffy around DLR and in various other locales! I think those are so clever and cute. And the thing is, just when I think I've seen every possible place that Duffy can be posed and that are no new places left to put him (which is what I thought after Jasmine's and Jessica's photos), you came up with all new material and places to put Duffy!!
So it's sort of like the Quest idea, which is to find interesting 'things' or subjects around DLR that may be off the beaten track. With Duffy, you are seeking out interesting spots for him, and it's kind of a challenge to find places for him that have not already been done!
There was a recent thread about not 'getting' the whole Duffy thing - and there were a bunch of Duffy fans in that thread, a couple of whom posted photos. Maybe I can dig up that thread and post a link to yours, so the Duffy fans who shared their pictures can share them with you as well?
