Hi guys, today i was very lucky to be part of the pleo launch event for press only.

I dont have words to describe the event, but i have a lots of photos to share with you! Click the link below to see the flickr album! Enjoy!:D

yes, many of them have an sd card to show some funny thing, including the Pleo Rex, but i noticed a rooster too!:p
but the real surprise was this!

I always assumed Ugobe had a "demo mode" for pleo that they would use at conventions . . .
Would be neat if they would share those with us. I know it would come in handy when I'm showing off my pleo! ;) ;)

yes fancyfont, i hope to get one with green or yellow colour one day!:p
one of the coolest thing in this event was to see different locations with the same design of ugobe's box! Like this photo:

I've got some cool gadget like a pen, and a shopping bag with pleo's logos! I was so happy to meet all the staff of the italian distributor E-motion. They're very kind and you can see how they love Pleo, not just for the marketing, but for all the surprises and emotions people can find in it!;) you know what i mean!
A psychologist talked about the emotional side of pleos, and i think she talked about a curious event in one of the post on pleoworld, about a crying child in a restaurant, that stops crying after playing with pleo... i think was a story of Fancyfont or maybe Siren!?
oooooooo you're so lucky ! I would love to have gone to something like that !

I've been trying to find the story of Pleo making tears vanish. It was a story of an autistic little child. Fabulous story!
Peeky stopped tears at our local hospital. How could a Pleo not??:)

OMG, yellow eyes! :) How neat-looking is that?
Did they have any other special eye colors, say green or brown? (Do brown Pleo eyes exist?)

Hi Critterfan,
There were some Pleo's with yellow and green eyes, they were shipped randomly out to people during the first few months of ordering. I do not believe there were any browneyed Pleos though. :)

Yes, that pleo was little bit creepy at first impact, but after 10 seconds was my favourite in the interactive-room!:cool:
