Interactive electronic pets, with realistic noises and movements that mimic live animals, are proving a huge hit of Christmas 2008 despite their price-tags.
Two of these best selling toys this Christmas are from FurReal Friends line of toy pets.
The first is Biscuit My Lovin Pup
. This voice-activated toy dog can respond to six commands and like any good canine, he can wag his tail and hold up his paws. This plush, oversized pet is 21-inches high when sitting. Biscuit costs $200, but you can save $51 online and get free shipping, too.
Another of the hot Christmas toys from FurReal Friends this holiday season is the Smores pony
. This 3-foot-tall electronic pet seeks to fulfill your little girl’s dream of having her very own pony. Smores won the 2007 Toy of the Year award for Best Girls Toy of the Year.
With Smores, your child is sure to feel like she is playing with a living, breathing pony. Soft to the touch, Smores has a fur coat and mane that feel just like a real pony’s. Her markings and color are based on an actual miniature pony. Smores also has built-in sensors all over her body, allowing her to respond to kids in amazingly lifelike ways.
Smores costs $299.99 but you can save over $100 online now and get free shipping to boot.
An easy-on-the-budget FurReal Friends option this Christmas is Squawkers McCaw the parrot. This electronic toy is one talking, squawking and completely unpredictable play pal.
