Last chance to see Tuzki, the emotional rabbit, in Hong Kong

See instant messaging's popular virtual character turn human size on the last week of his first exhibition in Hong Kong

The first Tuzki Exhibition is coming to a close next weekend at Mong Kok’s Grand Century Place. The normally 1.2cm bunny used in instant messaging has attracted fans and celebrity guests such as Gaile Lok to witness his sudden growth spurt to human size.

For the past month, the exhibition has been displaying Momo Wang's Tuzki models, drawings and milk boxes designed by finalists of “My Happy Present” design competition from across the globe. Why milk, you ask? Because Tuzki loves dairy and hates carrots that most conventional bunnies crave. Visitors can also get limited edition Tuzki products such as t-shirts and books on a first come first served basis.

While his growth spurt makes it much easier for us to take photos with him, we miss his animated emotions in instant messaging that portray all moods, from head banging frustration to delightful butt-shaking dances best shown in Tuzki's version of "Nobody" by Wonder Girls.
