https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=30064176 Hasbro's coming out with physical versions of the Furblings from the Furby Boom app. Not much is known about them yet but they look like they may function similar to Furby Party Rockers.

Despite things looking kind of grim currently on the US front I really don't think we've seen the last of Tamagotchi on American shores. It may take a few years but sooner or later a wave of 90's nostalgia is going to hit and companies are going to want to cash in on the nostalgia older 90's...

I came across this concept as I was messing around on Google today. The Tamagotchi Effect is the name researchers have given to peoples' tendency to form relationships with robots or machines. The Wikipedia article is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamagotchi_effect I thought it would be...

Anyone have one of these? I was skeptical at first and wasn't going to purchase one, but someone bought me a Loveby a few weeks ago and I liked it enough to go out the next day and buy two Scoffbys. And I think Scoffby may be one of my favorite electronic pets ever. He's not really cute. He has...

There's good news and bad news here. The good news is that the Tamagotchi app is successful and they plan to release a Tamagotchi Angel app. The bad news is that it doesn't sound like there will be an actual Tamagotchi device released in America any time soon, The story is here...

https://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0894/ I never knew this thing existed. Of course I came into the whole Tamagotchi fad at the tail end of it's original period in the 90s so I can see how I missed it.

So today I headed to Toys R Us in search of a Furby. When I got there I was surprised to find they had a few Tamagos left, I thought they were long gone. I couldn't pass up the chance to pick up a couple. I chose a white one and a green one. I hatched the white one. I activated him as soon as I...

I'm curious. What is it about Tamagotchi that appeals to you? Why do you stick with it when much of the world looks at it as nothing but a 90's fad? To explain why I like Tamagotchi, I'll have to explain why I like electronic pets in general. For me things like Tamagotchi and Furby are like...

What is Tamagotchi to you? Is it a pet you can get attached to? Just a toy that's fun to play with? Or a video game you play to win (Like trying to get the best character or seeing how many generations you can get )? To me Tamagotchis are pets. I love them and treat them well. They are not...

I saw some of these at Wal Mart the last time I was there and I'm thinking about purchasing one. I figured I'd ask around and see if anyone here has one and what they think of it. Are they fun? Are they worth the money?

Does anyone have any of Hasbro's FurReal Friends? Successors to Furby, these are a line of realistic looking robotic animals. Most of what's available is the smaller FurReal newborns. These are interesting but being based on newborn baby animals there's not a lot to them since newborn animals...

The topic title says it all. How'd you first learn about Tamas or VPets? My story may be a little odd. You see, I didn't hear about Tamagotchi first. My first encounter with Virtual Pets involved Giga Pets. My half sister was in town with my niece. We ended up at the mall ( me, my sister, my...

Did anyone have one of these? It's an animatronic dragon pet made a few years ago. I had tons of VPets at the time and this was definately one of my favorites. It's based on a Harry Potter character, but you don't need to be a HP fan to enjoy him. I wasn't at the time but I still loved my dragon.

Does anyone have one of these? Made By WowWee these are an assortment of realistic animatronic animals. At Toys R Us today, I saw a baby seal, Koala, lion cub, Husky, Labradoodle and Fox Terrier. I picked up the labradoodle and Fox Terrier. Unlike most animatronic pets the Fox Terrier is well...

So what non Tamagotchi virtual pets do you have? What's your favorite nontam VPet? The vast majority of my collection of VPets is made up of FurReal Friends animatronic dogs. I also have a few Zhu Zhu Puppies. Up until recently I had a Gizmo Furby, an ET Furby and three Kota and Pals dinosaurs...

Does anyone have Zhu Zhu Pets? I used to have about 30 of them, but I donated all my non dog virtual pets to needy kids. I'm interested in hearing what others think of these things. Here's my opinion. A neat concept and at first glance they seem fairly sturdy, but their shell is made of a...

Has anyone ever had a friend or Family member accidently kill your Tamagotchi? Or punish it? Or anything else you'd rather they not have done? I'm asking because of an incident I had involving a Pikachu pedometer pet. Call it a lesson learned. I was somewhere with some of my family, a hospital...

I've heard a lot about people who try to torture Tamagotchis or to see how fast they can kill them. I don't get this. I'd like to get everyone's opinions on the subject. Here's mine: It's wrong. There's just something about virtual pets that makes abusing them seem worse than doing the same...

So how did everyone do the first time they raised a Tamagotchi? Did it grow to be healthy? Did it die right away? Was it somewhere in the middle? The first time I was kind of obsessive. I never let my Tama beep for anything. I checked it every few minutes. I wanted it to be happy and...

https://news.consumerreports.org/electronics/2011/02/mattels-radica-fijit-friends-interactive-bffs-.html These may be one of the strangest electronic critters yet. Maybe they will appeal to some people but I just think they're creepy. I'm not sure which ones I dislike more. These or Wuvluvs.
