I found this site saying that a japanese company is going to be renting out their animatronic suits and the first one availiable is a panda. It's pretty interesting

This is the site I read it on
http://www.pinktentacle.com/2006/06/animatronic-panda-suit-for-rent/

And here is the official site....where you can watch the video. It's the first link in the middle.

I couldn't find any pics of the other suits they might be renting......There might be a penguin on the way though....

You know...you don't want to know what I thought when I read the title of this thread...not to mention the name of the web-link....

Reminds me of Homer in that Simpsons Prankmonkey episode, especially the mating bit.

.... then again, what better way to say i love you on St Valentines Day, than scaring her rigid with a scary animatronic Japanese panda!

Oh that's amazing! You know if I had a girlfriend, I would go out right away and rent a scary animatronic Japanese panda just to do that!...maybe that's why I don't have a girlfriend?

Me too! Unfortunately they couldn't airmail it in time though, and there was a big debate over what to write on the customs sticker, and where to stick it!

So i'm going with a balloon!
