On this episode of #TigerBling, I take a look at something that literally spells out what it is... #CopycatJr! This handy little toy was produced in 1996 & is a spin-off of the earlier #Copycat #handheldhames from the 70's and 80's, in the fashion of #Simon by #miltonBradley/#hasbro and #TouchMe by #Atari.

On this episode of #TigerBling, I take the wraps off of #TheBotster #Robot by #TigerElectronics from 2001.

On this inaugural episode of #TigerBling, I take a look at #ThePoochi, which was produced from 2000-2002 by #tigerelectronics. It was a take on the #idog which they previously sold. The #Poochi (or Poo-Chi) is more or less a #robotic #dog, who would #bark, #pant, #growl & more! Finally, after some history, I rank this... Continue Reading →
