Robert was a huge hit in this house. I can't post any pics as they would be too identifiable, but the two that we bought haven't been left down since 7.30am!

Anyone else?

I should add that they are now called Elsia and Starlight. Grin

Ours is still a Robert and is beloved by 4 year old DD and eyed with suspicion by DCat

Robert a massive success here as well - DD has not physically been parted from him since opening! Definite renaming going on in this house as well Grin Final decision yet to be made on name though!

DramaInPyjamas · 26/12/2016 08:56

Can someone provide a link to Robert? I'd like to appreciate him as wellGrin

Robert is adored by dd here! He's dragged around to whatever room dd is in. Huge thanks to reastie and all on the bargain threads, I picked up so many fab ideas. Flowers

GodlessDomestic1 · 26/12/2016 12:03

Is there a link please - would be ideal for DD's January birthday. Thank you

lozabella · 26/12/2016 12:16

Robert loves here too!! He's been dragged up and down the stairs so he's not on his own. We love him!

RJnomore1 · 26/12/2016 12:19

The original Robert made a Christmas Day appearance with dd2 here. A year on and she's still besotted with him.

Duchessofealing · 26/12/2016 12:22

Our Robert is still a Robert and belongs to mummy to avoid fighting over him between DDs(3 and 5) - DD2 spent most of Christmas Day on his back shouting gallop a neigh Grin

kelper · 26/12/2016 12:27

I googled Robert the unicorn and came up with Adult Swim. Any further links please? I'm hoping it isn't that!!

kelper · 26/12/2016 12:28

Shit, if you google robert the unicorn toy you get all sorts of creepy shit about a haunted doll 😳

user1471462578 · 26/12/2016 12:32

Ours came from toysrus but I think wilkos do the same one. Hth.

That is the original Robert, I think. But as I had to buy two I got the Argos Robert x2.

Argos Robert

This is the one I bought, from ToysRUs... www.toysrus.co.uk/mobile/toys/animal-alley-pink-45-unicorn-soft-toy/TRUP1915820001

RueDeDay · 27/12/2016 06:48

Ours has been renamed to 'Pinky'... We are all about the originality in this house!!

imip · 27/12/2016 06:50

I have 2x Argos Robert for youngest 2 dcs aged 4 and 6. They descended down the stairs on Christmas morning seeing only Robert in the distance stealing. Dd4 was shouting, "unicorny, unicorny"! They are very happy girls!

Doublegloucester · 28/12/2016 00:20

I wondered if there would be a Robert thread! I didn't get one as they were out of stock at local argos when dh looked. I just hope he arrives for Valentine's!

GoodQueenWenchEatsLess · 28/12/2016 08:22

Ours was loved by DD too. She and DS spent most of Xmas day pretending to ride him, lying on top of him and cuddling him. Huge originality from a 4yo so his (actually, her) name is Fluffy Grin

LittleReindeerwithcloggson · 28/12/2016 22:27

Ours is very loved and now called Harriet!

Myfanwyprice · 28/12/2016 22:39

Dd was thrilled with her Argos Robert, even though she decided she didn't want the giant fluffy unicorn (that she asked for constantly from October!) last week Grin

Robert has been renamed candy and has not been put down, definitely a big hit Xmas Smile

lauryloo · 28/12/2016 22:47

I need out more. My first thought was Robert the robot Blush

ZeViteVitchofCwismas · 29/12/2016 17:25

ahhhhhhhhhh I also followed Robert and nearly got one, I think we will succumb next year though, so sweet to think of all the happy dc who got a robert Xmas Grin.

The post that nearly swung it for me, was that Robert was a comfort toy who provided a source of comfort and safety for her dd. { festive heart melt}
