I take a look at my small collection of Dear Diaries & ponder... why... Continue Reading →

Long before #Mp3Players such as the #iPod & #Zune, #TigerElectronics came out with one device that shook up the #music & #toy industry! #HitClips, of course!

On this episode of #TigerBling, I take the wraps off of #TheBotster #Robot by #TigerElectronics from 2001. This little gem was only produced for one year, from what I can gather from the web, but he's an adorable little talkative devil, complete with an energy pack for when he gets hungry or irritable. I unbox... Continue Reading →

05.03.24 TiGER BLiNG 1: “The One with the Poo-Chi” (Tiger Electronics’ Poo-Chi, 2000-2002)

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 →
