You might have heard of the old Micropets and now Takara Tomy has released a new, more interactive version of this critter. Ahw, just look at it:

The series consists of nine different pets, new versions such as adorable bunnies and tigers will be released later this year. The robo-animals, with names like Whipped Cream and Mocha, can move around and avoid obstacles themselves.

Each pet moves at the snap of your fingers, in four modes:

1. Chase mode - chases after its ball or other objects.
2. Stroll mode - moves around while avoiding obstacles.
3. Song mode - sings one of the two installed songs.
4. Duet mode - sings together with another micropet.

Watch this youtube video to see the micropet in action.

You can adopt them at Strapya World or Brando for about $20,-

Can’t get enough of this pet? Enjoy yourself by playing this simple game - move the micropet along with your mouse to collect candy, but avoid all obstacles. Or put a cute paper home together for your pet.

Blythe Prima Dollies 2009

I’m sorry for not posting more regurlarly! I’ll add interested readers to my Pet Society this weekend.

I spent my last weekend on looking for some vinyl toys that I still miss in my small collection. Especially the blue and white Baby Treeson <3, Bamboozoo -I would love to have Miss Mishka or the mini bunny- and Cannibal Funfair toys from Tado. It’s still a bit surprising to see the vinyl toys made by my hubby pop up everywhere:  Seamour Sheep and Marty Mole. I have the urge to adopt them all .

A while ago I’ve purchased some felt and stuffing and dusted my old sewing machine. I would like to make some simple plush and feel inspired by the cute creations from Anna Chambers and Spök Spök. In fact Anna’s turd (Colonel Corn) and the Spök Spök couple will come to live with me soon . If you would like to get into making plushies, I can recommend the Softies book.

Last but not least my shopping spree ended with the preordering of two new Blythe dollies. Their cartoon pictures already looked very promising but the real promo pictures of Adorable Aubrey and Heather Sky did the trick. Prima Dolly Heather Sky will probably be a heartbreaker, I noticed her priced already jumped on eBay. They’re being released at the end of next week, I can’t wait…

Doronjo x Blythe

After my last purchased Blythe, a custom from Mr. Anai <3 I thought this would be it for a while. Untill I noticed this new girl. In my opinion she’s absoluteley gorgeous! A crossover between a superhero and retro gal, can a person ask for more?

The only downside is her hefty pricetag ~ about $ 185, but I so hope she’s not limited. In that case it would be just fine. I’m super happy that I got Ultimate Tour when she was just released and not for the price she’s going for today. Aside from that I do love PAM but I was too late at buying her for a “reasonable” price.

Here’s some more news about Doronjo x Blythe, you can find all specs and pictures at the official website.

Thank you to everyone for waiting!
Here is the final design for the collaboration doll with the live action movie “Yatterman”, “Doronjo x Blythe (Doronjo meets Blythe)”!
