FurReal Friends Trixie the Skateboarding Pup Pet

30 Tricks Statement Misleading

Trixie is super cute
Trixie is a super cute dog. Like the other Fur Real animals, she's not soft and squishy like a stuffed animal, but hard and mechanical on the inside. Not a sleep in bed with you kind of toy, the exterior fur is what makes them charming. Trixies mouth is open so her cute little tongue is showing, which makes her extra authentic appearing.

Trixie arrives in bright purple, pink and blue packaging with a remote control, star glasses and her skateboard. Even her handkerchief around her neck is purple based delight. Screams GIRL TOY. 2 AAA batteries and 3 AA batteries are required to make Trixie come to life are NOT included.

She's a little dog, the size of a chihuahua, and light enough for a four year old to carry around. Younger than that, which is not recommended, may drop and hurt their foot or if they roll onto it bump their head as she's got a hard interior. Her fur is soft. Her tongue, eyes, and nose are hard plastic.

Her bark comes in...
Great fun - a remote control toy that girls will love!
My daughter absolutely loves this adorable pet puppy! She loves the fact that it can do several tricks while she uses the remote - in fact her older brother loves to play with it as well! It took a little bit of help for a 4 year old to be able to maneuver the remote but after a while she caught on quickly and can do it independently. It is a lot of fun to see this cute little dog fly around on it's skateboard - I would have to say the fun value is very high for this toy and it makes a fabulous gift!

FurReal Friends Daisy Plays-With-Me Kitty Toy

Creepy animatronic nightmare-bot. Daughter loves it.
There is a thin coating of fur and cuteness on the outside of this toy, but just beneath the skin it's a whirring, clicking, mewling abomination. My daughter loves it.

There are embedded buttons on the back and one front paw, and some sort of visual sensor in the face of this monstrosity, which when activated, cause it to judder through an approximation of kitty-stretching, kitty-pawing, and kitty spine-hyper-extending. My daughter can't get enough of these activities.

This simulacrum of cuddliness is actually rigid and unyielding, since there is no padding, only an orange and white cover stretched over a skeleton of terror, so the toy is entirely inappropriate for taking to bed -- in addition to being as hard as an unusually terrifying rock, it's prone to lurching into its routine of grinding and clanking and pushing your child out of bed in the middle of the night (there is no "night" mode -- only "on", "off", and "try me," the last of which sounds like a...
scary
4-stars for scaring the living s*** out of me, as it was "meowing" in the box before I even opened it
Appears soft and fluffy but appearances are deceiving
I really wanted to like this toy. It's one of those electronic hybrid toys that tries to be interactive and fun, however, I have some issues with this toy which I would like to share with you.

Pros:
-Interactive nature. Depending on whether you squeeze the right paw, pat it's back, or wave your hand in front of it's face, it will respond with meows, pounces, and other motions
-The meows are really cute, almost sounds like a real cat

Cons:
-The main issue I have with this toy, is it is really rigid and hard. This is definitely not a huggable toy, in that although it looks furry and soft on the outside, it is hard as a rock to hug
-When the toy is moving, it has a strange mechanical sound, which brings up visions of the terminator in my mind, think old school T1 (and not the fluid T2 or T3)
-The cat is not able to move across a surface, the back legs do not move, only the front paws move
