Hasbro Furreal Friends Biscuit The Puppy Dog
Friday, June 13th, 2008Man’s best friend is about to become a dream come true for kids this year as Hasbro introduces the FURREAL FRIENDS puppy called Biscuit, the newest, most realistic pet to ever join the FURREAL FRIENDS family.
Kids will love to interact with this adorable life-size golden retriever – through highly innovative voice recognition technology, Biscuit will obey six different voice commands including “sit,” “sit up and beg,” “lie down,” “give me a paw,” “speak” and “do you want a treat?” Just like a ‘real’ dog, Biscuit will move his head and ears, blink his eyes, wag his tail and bark. Biscuit will also sniff his ‘bone’ and chomp on his tasty treat.
Biscuit will also respond to touch; kids simply pet their new best friend on the sensors located behind his ears, on his head and on his back, and their new pal will wag his tail to show his delight. Additionally, Biscuit includes an innovative ‘bark-back’ feature that will enable him to respond when he is spoken to! Biscuit comes complete with his very own comb and dog ‘bone.’
Requires 6 x Size D Batteries (not supplied)

RRP £149.99
Availabilty:- Sept/Oct 2008 (subject to change)

Children can activate elmo with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmo’s foot, tummy, back or nose.
