“OOglies” (not a typo) are possibly the worst-executed toy ever. They came out about 2 years ago as an answer the the “Furby” toy.
A misguided friend who knew nothing about toys or gadgets gave me an OOglie for a holiday gift a few years ago. Super bad toy. I’m giving it to a toy drive.
- it makes giggling noises constantly
- it requires 3 AA and 3 AAA batteries
- you tap its head, and the LEDs that are its eyes spin around inside its head, mounted on motors
- supposedly it does tricks, like telling fortunes, but it’s so irritating I never got to that feature
- They all are made out of sculpted plastic, spray-painted different colors. For some reason I got the ugliest one (the OOgliest one?), which looks like a football. On purpose. It’s like the sports-themed one.
- Unlike the Furby, it does have any networking, or “learning” capabilities, nor any animation besides the eyes rotating
I hope the kid who gets this doesn’t hate it as much as I do.
