Items that have caught you off guard?

[LuchaSloth]

Have you ever found an item in this game that you just weren't fully prepared for?

Clothing, furniture, etc? Something that you just had a gut reaction to?

I just popped a balloon and found the balloon hat. And...man, I know this thing was in other Animal Crossing games...but, it's absolutely huge in New Horizons. I put it on and instantly turned into Jamiroquai. Been whistling "Virtual Insanity" and laughing like an idiot for the past ten minutes.

The bamboo doll. It terrified me the first time

 

[Bcat]

I literally burst out laughing when I saw that the wedding ring cost 69,000 bells. They knew. They had to.

Oh man, my friend has one in their house and it actually junpscared me the first time

I vistied another island and they had the bambo doll inside their house. I did not expect it to do what it did lol. I saw posts about the peach suprise box but i dont know what it does and now i am kinda curious. I only crafted the tulip suprise box and it was kinda boring/uneventful in comparison so i got rid of it.

...I haven’t crafted the bamboo doll yet and have no idea what anybody is talking about. I could say the surprise/shock was spoiled, but I honestly just feel more curious about it now. And slightly uneasy maybe. heh

The Peach Surprise Box startled me several times because Zucker kept messing with it—I had put it out as decoration for an event I was hosting, and he just wouldn’t leave it alone!

Then there’s the Cuckoo Clock that made me jump when it struck the hour while I was decorating my house at 3AM xD

Lastly, the Western Style Stone. I didn’t know what it was from the name alone, so imagine when I found out after being gifted it by Zucker—who said that making them was his personal specialty!!!

Serious offer—would you like my duplicate Peach Surprise Box DIY? Then you can see for yourself! haha

+1 for the Jamiroquai reference.

The tulip surprise box should come with a PG-13 rating, at least.

On day 2, I somehow ended up with an instant muscles suit. Probably from a balloon. Tried it on. Oh dear.

I gifted it to Billy. It's his favorite shirt of all time. I see him wearing it every other day. And honestly? I love it. He looks hilarious in it. Especially whenever he starts talking about showing off his bod...

edit: sorry but I felt like everyone needed to see Billy in his instant muscles suit

Bamboo doll made me almost lose my soul at 3am the first time I saw it. That was too sudden.

 

[elo-chan]

Pants press. I've never heard of it until this game.

Aww you are always so nice! I dont have an online membership yet so i cant, but thank you so much! I did not know villagers could interact with them, too! That is amazing! I totally was in the same situation regarding the western style stone XD

 

[voltairenism]

Hamster cage. I mean hamster are the size of a human in this game, and they are inteligent and self-conscious, how is that legal? Can I put Clay in there?

 

[Hedgehugs]

Tarantula Model. Someone on here had it next to their house and I thought it was legit for some dumb reason. One of the reasons I stopped playing when it got late/dark. Those things terrify me.

 

[Babylon]

I was given a “baby hat” which I assumed was like a cute lil tophat that I saw someone wearing once.

Nope.

Just a weird baby bonnet that I don’t think anyone has ever done anything with but sell to Nook’s Cranny.

Meme shirt.

I 100% thought it was a design based on the look. When I saw the name I gasped audibly

 

[Fey]

Reading through these makes me think I definitely have to go craft the bamboo doll now. If you don’t hear from me again, you know what happened!

Well feel free to let me know if you ever get one—if I’ve gotten rid of it by then, I’m sure I’ll get another duplicate sooner or later (definitely sooner than all the DIYs I actually need lol)

I have one in blue if you want one! Everyone deserves a meme shirt haha

golden soft served ice cream hat.. friend gifted it to me and all they said was "take my golden poopy" its literally a poop

 

[Pyoopi]

This is just my own dumb mistake but the skeleton model. I had this nautical room and I placed the skeleton in the corner with the lights off.

I have a tendency of touching items knowing some interact with you. Upon touching the skeleton, it lifted its arms and spooked me a bit.

I just didn't expect that, lol.
