    funny thing, when i watched this video 2 years ago. i kept my eyes peeled for ANY i-dog objects.
    my school had 1 idog fast-food-chain toy that they displayed in a halloween scene, because it was orange..
    and then a few months later somebody was having a garage sale. and i found one of the plush speakers! i dropped all my money and got it. i named them blossom, because it's a pink one! ( pink one at 16:42 )
    thank you, Clue. for opening my eyes to something that i would probably have brushed off as a random object!

      Yes I would love an adorable speaker like this! Even if it didn't sound fantastic that'd be ok. With today's technology I'm sure that little thing could be loud and decent sounding. An adorable Bluetooth cutie 🥰

    I remember my first encounter with Idogs in 2017 or 2018. I found two of them at a flea market, one was a normal blue one and the other was a white Dance. I named the Dance Floppy and the blue Skylar. Skylar had lots of problems, specifically with battery corrosion. I tried my hardest to get it all cleaned out but she was basically ruined. She only worked a few times, but one day she broke again and I tried to fix her, but she was gone after that. I then set her aside as parts. Floppy worked for a good while but then he started having motor problems, he had a hard time dancing and trying to stand up. Last time I had him out he worked but had a little trouble dancing. I also have a normal red one named Cherry, she works great since she was new in box. And finally, I have an I-Cy named Penny. I plan to get one of the plushies or the cat next. I’d also love to have a turtle too! Hope you enjoyed my little history about my experience with these cool toys!

    I was 18 in 2005 so I've had a LOT of i-dogs. The last one I had was the fuzzy one. I had completely forgotten about the horrific i-fish. A woman I worked with at the time had one on her desk. She LOVED the thing and it was the bane of my boss' existence. We would all try to "accidently" push it off the desk when we walked by, try to make it commit un-alive. Never worked, thing was a tank. Anyway, I moved on from that job after college, but somehow I'm sure that woman and her i-fish are still there. The fish is probably regional manager by now.
