動感管哥Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guy

　　千萬別被它看來人畜無害的笑容騙了！管哥，可是大有來頭！
 
　　完美復刻源自為1996年亞特蘭大奧運而生的巨型裝置藝術。啟動電源，讓管哥毫無章法的律動節奏，舒緩你緊繃的神經；讓它無法被忽略的馬達聲，成為阻隔外界喧鬧的白噪音。
 
　　假如你正好覺得，為什麼日子這麼滿這麼累，卻這麼貧瘠，而這份乾枯好像快要把快樂吸光了。讓管哥的存在提醒你──覺得自己一無所有？也千萬別忘了自己的古怪奇特，當個很有事的你！而快樂，總是觸手可及！(文/博客來編譯)
 
　　*使用提醒：需使用電力，請按書中指示，自行備妥並安裝9v電池，或連接AC Adapter。

The very first of its kind, this miniature Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guy is the perfect desktop companion, tiny marketing tool, or hilarious gift

Finally, the joyous dancing tube man -- who's been featured everywhere from Ricky Martin's stage to Broad City -- is available in a tiny, desk-friendly size.

This box includes:

• An 18-inch waving tube man with fan in base to make him dance, wiggle, and shake just like the real thing (batteries not included)
• A 32-page mini book exploring the larger than life (and utterly surprising ) origins of everyone's favorite flailing arm man

PLEASE NOTE: This product can be powered by a 9-volt battery or by a specific AC adapter. (Battery nor AC adapter included with purchase.) Please read and follow the instructions included in the box to ensure optimal performance.

If using a battery:

• A rechargable Ni-MH battery is recommended for best performance and is a more cost-effective alternative to a common Alkaline (single-use) battery.
• If using an Alkaline battery, it must be NEW and preferably a PREMIUM brand.
• DO NOT use a Carbon-Zinc battery (often labeled "Heavy-Duty"). This type of battery cannot produce enough power to operate the motor.
• To get the most life out of the battery, use in intervals no greater than 5 to 10 minutes. Operating in this manner will yield approximately 45 minutes of use.
• If your tube guy begins to get stuck in a downward position, it is time to replace the battery or recharge if using a rechargeable battery.

If using an AC adapter, it must follow the below specifications:

• Input: AC 100-240V (50-60 Hz)
• Output: DC 9V (1A or 2A)
