Fijit Friends are the hottest new interactive toy for the Christmas holidays this year. Now Fijit Friends have new smaller friends to play with them. They are called Fijit Friends Newbies. Fijit Friends Newbies can interact with you and sing and wiggle too. If you have more than one they can do a duet too.

Fijit Friends Newbies Pink Tia Figure

In home mode the full size Fijits can interact with you. They can tell jokes, ask you questions, sing and dance. When Fijit Friends are in chirp mode they can interact with the chirps on the Fijit Friends website. Now they can interact with the new smaller Fijit Friends Newbies.

There are four Fijit Friend Newbies available now to collect, Tika – purple, Tia – pink, Zia – green and Zinzie – yellow. There are four more that will be available soon, Mila, Melodee, Kira and Kenzie. They make a nice gift for Fijit fans and are a little less expensive than the full size Fijits. They are going to be hard to find so you better get them while you can.

Here’s a Fijit Friends Newbies review video to show you more of what they can do.

Pet GoGo on the head and she will bark with enthusiasm. Pet her on the side, and she’ll turn to meet you. GoGo’s tail wags and she gives off a high-pitched bark. Her head tilts, raises and lowers, and her body wiggles.

Her actions are startlingly life-like, so much so that while our testers were taking a break from playing with her, GoGo stood before the lunch counter, barking and panting as if she wanted a treat like any real dog would. She even sheds, so beware!

Remote-Controlled Dog Wants to Go, Go, Go!
GoGo is aptly named. With the big-buttoned remote control that doubles as a leash and fits comfortably in a young child’s hand, you can turn on the pup and she’s raring to go. Set her to “try” mode, and GoGo will respond to sound or motion–she’ll also bark, but she won’t move. Set GoGo to “on” mode, and she practically tugs at her leash to go for a walk.

The leash controls GoGo’s movements. Press the forward arrow, and she walks at a kid’s pace; press the left and right arrow buttons, and she negotiates corners. Once GoGo starts moving, she doesn’t want to come back. Don’t worry, though–her motor is not too strong, so kids can easily rein her in when it’s time to go home.

Even while in the “on” mode, GoGo remains both sound and motion activated, so any activity on your walk will make her respond like a real pet. Be careful–if you cough or sneeze in GoGo’s presence, she could take off on her own!

Built to Walk on Smooth, Dry Surfaces
GoGo is designed with four rubber wheels–one beneath each paw–that are hidden by fur. Each of the front wheels rotates on a cam lobe, and GoGo’s knees are jointed, so her front legs appear to bend as if she’s extending her forepaws to walk.

GoGo responded well, walking without any stumbles or glitches, when our testers walked her on hard floors and commercial carpets. The box’s photos show GoGo parading down an outdoor sidewalk. As long as the terrain is smooth and dry, we think she’ll be fine. But make sure you gently clean GoGo off with a slightly damp cloth or brush to keep her mechanisms in working order.

This Pup Loves to Be Pampered
Like any good-natured dog, GoGo wants to be loved. She’ll whine if she’s being lifted awkwardly or pulled harshly by her leash, and she may even stop moving. In fact, in our repeated tests, it sounded as if GoGo let out a brief growl whenever we weren’t as gentle as we should have been.

Also, if you want peace and quiet around the house, make sure you turn GoGo off when it’s time for her to nap. Otherwise, like a real puppy, she pants and barks at surprising times, and that can wear down her batteries.

What’s in the Box
GoGo puppy, remote control, and instructions.

Stinky has a big, bold, and entertaining personality that he expresses with over 90 phrases and songs. Sometimes he’s all business, and will let you know that the cleaning crew is coming through. Other times he’s in the mood to sing, exercise, or solicit high fives. Boys who love interactive toys will find a fun new friend in Stinky. This rough-and-tumble vehicle features plenty of moving parts that define his distinct personality.

Feisty Stinky Features Many Modes of Play
Kids can turn Stinky off and play with him manually, just like a regular toy vehicle, but his five interactive modes are where the fun is at. When he’s pushed and pulled in his vehicle position, he’ll turn his head-like cab side to side and blink his headlights. To have Stinky speak, push or pull his smokestack, lift his rear door, or poke his belly button.

Stinky’s not shy about telling you he’s hungry. The grille of his cab functions as a mouth in which you can feed small items that’ll be dumped out later. Even Stinky’s bright green trash compartment operates like the real thing–drop small items into the top, and he’ll dump it out of his rear door when you pull on his smoke stack.

Who would’ve thought that a stinky garbage truck could sing? Push the button on his smoke stack repeatedly, and he’ll rear up to dance and belt out a funny tune. If Stinky is left alone for too long he’ll fall asleep; press his smoke stack to rouse him awake. He comes with four C batteries that are for demo purposes only, so you’ll need to replace them with fresh batteries before handing him over to the kids.
