She LOVED the thing and it was the bane of my boss' existence. We would all try to "accidently" push it off the desk when we walked by, try to make it commit un-alive. Never worked, thing was a tank.

I’ve definitely been lacking on those Japanese ones tho haha, they’re pretty hard to find, I just have the standard white and the happy blue with the star lights. My all time favorite idogs are the blue flowers ampd (my first idog ever) and the black tattoo ampd, both which are part of the extremely rare second wave of idog ampds.

[@cookieridergirl]

Honestly. If they put effort into making a Bluetooth version that wasn’t necessarily just meant to be a kids toy gimmick but was an actually legitimate Bluetooth speaker with good audio and if possible quite movement. I could see I-dogs making some sort of comeback in the nostalgia market. I could also see a new generation picking it up too if it got popular. I never owned one back when I was a kid and there no incentive for me to get an old one because well they are just crappy toys if you were looking to use it instead of just collecting. But if they came out with a decent one now that I could use as a real speaker. I’d probably get one because of how cute it is. And hopefully they wouldn’t change the design to much just better material and real speaker parts.

[@HelloKitty15937]

The Japanese i-dog's odd electronic sound effects sound a lot like the sounds made by Sony's AiBO robot dog line to me. AiBO was extremely popular in Japan at the time the I-dog came out. Seems to me like Sega Toys was trying to emulate AiBO in the behaviors and sounds of the i-dog.

[@Cobbledstories]

I remember my first encounter with Idogs in 2017 or 2018. I found two of them at a flea market, one was a normal blue one and the other was a white Dance. I named the Dance Floppy and the blue Skylar. Skylar had lots of problems, specifically with battery corrosion. I tried my hardest to get it all cleaned out but she was basically ruined. She only worked a few times, but one day she broke again and I tried to fix her, but she was gone after that. I then set her aside as parts. Floppy worked for a good while but then he started having motor problems, he had a hard time dancing and trying to stand up. Last time I had him out he worked but had a little trouble dancing. I also have a normal red one named Cherry, she works great since she was new in box. And finally, I have an I-Cy named Penny. I plan to get one of the plushies or the cat next. I’d also love to have a turtle too! Hope you enjoyed my little history about my experience with these cool toys!
