The SackBlog
Did you know a Sackboy named Arnold had his own blog?Published 04/07/2009 at 19:00 by BioEye
Blogged yesterday on the Official US PlayStation Blog, Mark Valledor, Marketing Director at SCEA posted an interesting link to a blog written by one little Sackboy named Arnold Drake. This little adventurer is travelling around the world, and getting others to photograph his adventures. His blog details his daily happenings, and dates back to May 2009.
Whether this is an official site, set up by Media Molecule or from a member of the public who managed to grab one in five thousand rare Sackboy dolls from the Media Molecule Youtube page remains a little bit of a mystery. Nevertheless, for younger audiences, the site offers a charming little online diary of the little things that Sackboy gets up to in the big world.
We’ve seen similar blogs to this such as the traveling gnome, but nothing that beats the almighty Sackboy. Keep an eye on where Arnold goes in the next few months, as LittleBigPlanet continues to push its leading character as an icon to the PlayStation brand and in unique and fresh ways to keep him in the limelight.

They sent me two – One went on eBay, and my daughter loves the other
I’ve thought about photographing him around the world over the years as I continue my travels, but can’t even afford to get in to town at the min, so that plan has been put on the back-burner for a while.

They resorted to t-shirts after the first 5000 Sackboys went out.

Huh?
Oh, no. Sackboy and Thumb-boy don’t go well together.
I tell the thumb that sackboy is only a child, but he doesn’t listen…poor sackboy.

Why don’t they make these sackboys more commercials. I could see lots of sackboys being brought by loads of people. Just as long as they are not made out of real potatoes’ sack material.

I got a sackboy from that youtube offer, I was really late in signing up for it as well. Gave it to my little bro, who plays LBP more than me, and he’s well chuffed.

I got 2 from the YouTube offer, but I’m not sure why haha. I sent in my details, a few weeks later I received a Sackboy, then the week after that I got another one. But hey, I’m not complaining lol
