Every shelf of furReal interactive pets
Everything we keep is a furReal interactive pet, and every one of them does something back. The walking shelf holds the Walk-a-Lots pups — a Bernedoodle, a Schnauzer, a French Bulldog — each on its leash, each with a tail that wags while it walks. The feeding shelf holds the kitty, the cow, the tiger that roars and the silly hippo. The small shelf holds Handfuls and My Minis.
A toy that reacts
Plush on the outside, motions and sounds on the inside. Touch the head, feed the mouth, tip the body — each gesture has a reaction, and some pets have a sleep mode they enter when the room goes quiet. Kids work this out in about four minutes without reading anything.
Who buys them
Parents, mostly, and mostly around a birthday. The question behind the purchase is usually responsibility: a child asks for a dog, the answer is not yet, and a plush puppy that barks is the honest middle. Care for it, brush it, watch it fall asleep — the habits transfer.
Monkey, panda, unicorn
Beyond the dogs there is a monkey, a panda turning head over tail, a penguin, a unicorn and more. Nobody leaves the house without a friend; most people join with one animal and come back for the next, which is the fun of a line this wide.
