Correct me pls, I think he’s a night heron? Thought he was a baby heron at first

There’s this shop in my city that sells old merchandise from foreign shops for cheap(er)… I love going there especially on days with high price reductions, and yesterday was one of those days (60%off). I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the box for this lil guy, it was kinda beat up and haphazardly taped closed and I could hear things rattling inside! I had toyed with the idea of an instant camera since I was a teenager, but thought it was an expensive hobby. I asked the cashier to look inside together, everything seemed decent at first glance (the camera was in a smaller box, and the pack of film was next to it, unopened), I made sure I could return it if it didn’t work, and RAN outside to the nearest bench to open it properly and test it! My hands were SHAKING hahaha and I soon realized the separate box where the camera was had never been opened!! I took a test shot with the included batteries and omg it worked!!!!

I’m so happy with my find, I wanted to share and also ask for your guys’ stories about your first instax and why you got one. Also if you have any reccs for accessories, especially cases. Thanks!
