Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've never quite understood the Fijit toys. I first saw them last year and didn't know what to make of it. A cute, colorful robot that makes semi-painful robotic sounds and gyrates? Now, this year, the Yippits have come out, and I'm in the same spot all over again. I think what bugs me the most about this toy is that the age range is supposed to be for kids 6-12. I can't think of many kids over the age of 6 or 7 that would get much out of these guys, unless they just plain like cute robots. The Yippits toys don't do a whole lot, and what you can do is more like a cute version of Bop It or Simon.
Patter here has a couple of different modes to play with. First there's the random mode, you get by pressing the left button on her head. She'll make random sounds and her eyes will light up. Patter can also perform tricks based on how many times you clap your hands. You have to pay attention to her mouth though, as it lights up with each clap that it recognizes. Clap 3 times and Patter will play music and dance around. Clap 5 times and she'll make one quick sound that's supposed to be begging. Yeah, not too exciting so far huh? But when you press and hold the right button on the top of her head, the little robo-dog will play another music track that you're supposed to clap along to the beat with.
The last two modes are pattern-based. Press and hold both buttons on Patter's head to get her in the game mode, then press either button to select which one you want. Pressing the left button gets you a game where you're supposed to copy what Patter does. If her right eye lights up, press the right button. If her mouth lights up, clap. As the game goes on she'll want you to go in longer patterns like pressing both buttons at the same time, clapping, pressing another button once, etc. The other game isn't any better.
Basically you're getting a spruced up version of Simon and Bop It here, just in a cute little robot dog package. Personally, I feel like they're asking way too much for this thing, especially considering that the new Furby, which does way more, is around the same price. Why not just spend a few more bucks and go for that instead? The Yippits are well-made and durable, but it seems like they should be doing more than just a few tricks and playing a quick pattern game. If you can get a good deal on this toy, and your child is REALLY into it, then go for it. If it's one of those things they're just mildly interested in, just pass.
