06.26.24 TiGER BLiNG 5: “The One with Dear Diary” (Tiger Electronics’ DEAR DIARY, Circa 1995-2005?)
On this episode of #TigerBling, I take a look at #DearDiary. This little #gem was released from 1995 (as far as I can tell) until around 1999, then was incorporated into other #TigerElectronics toys up through 2005, in organizers and #DataBlasters. I take a look at my small collection of Dear Diaries & ponder... why... Continue Reading →

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.

These little wafers contained 1-2 minutes of a #song, usually a #pop song from the era, and there were a ton of ways to play them, from the #DanceBot... Continue Reading →

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 →
