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

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 →
