Here comes Bumble the Viking! His head warms the iron helmet, which with horns and splendor tell the crew he's captain. Where he sails to we can only guess, but wherever he ends up, he's sure to spread sunshine. With a strong belief in the power of the smile, Gustav Ehrenreich created his Hoptimist movement of springy companions in the late 1960s. These sweet, tactile, keepsake, and giftable figures are a perpetual reminder to stay positive and optimistic. The happy Hoptimists are part of Danish design history and spread joy around the world. Bimble (female) and Bumble (male) are Hoptimist's most famous friends.
