Hasbro FurReal Friends Smores Pony




Every girl dreams of having her very own pony! With realistic animation, movement and sounds, this incredibly lifelike pony is a very special, once-in-a-lifetime friend. This adorable pony stands over three feet tall, and really “comes alive” as she moves and responds to your loving care. Touch or talk to your pony and her head moves! As you continue to interact with her, watch her ears wiggle and her eyes blink. Be sure to take extra-special care of your pony. “Feed” her the carrot and groom her with her brush. Watch her swish her tail back and forth. She even whinnies and snorts, and will sniff your hand. Sit on your pony and pretend to ride – she makes walking sounds. Pony comes with a carrot, brush, halter and special adoption certificate.

This is much more than your average Christmas toy. Take a look at the video and notice how lifelike the Smores Pony is.

The Hasbro FurReal Friends Smores Pony seeks to fulfill every little girl’s dream of having her very own pony. Smores is a miniature pony, and will react to your child’s loving care in incredibly realistic ways. More than three feet tall, she will even allow your child to sit on her for a pretend ride. Recommended for children ages 4 through 10, Smores Pony will quickly become any little girl’s most precious companion.

Just Like a Real Pony

With Furreal Smores, your girl will feel like she is interacting with a living, breathing pony. Smores is soft to the touch, with a fur coat and mane that feel just like a real pony. Her markings and color are modeled after an actual pony. Smores also has built-in sensors all over her body, which enable her to respond to children in amazingly lifelike ways. If talked to, she will cock her head toward the speaker quizzically and blink her eyes. She will also react to petting, showing her enjoyment by rubbing her head against your child, twitching her ears, and swishing her tail. In addition to her convincing movements, Smores also makes a medley of different sounds. She’ll neigh and whinny just like a real pony, and snort when she wants attention. Should the room become dark, she will begin to whimper, letting her owner know that she needs a consoling hug to know that she is safe.

Saddle Up!
At over three feet tall, Smores is more than strong enough to support a rider up to 100 pounds in weight. Your little girl will be overjoyed to sit on Smores’s back and pretend to go for a ride. Although she doesn’t move her legs, Smores will bump up and down when her hindquarters are tapped, simulating the feeling of a real pony ride. She will also make clomping sounds with her hooves while riding. Your child’s imagination will soar as she pictures herself out on the plains with Smores.

Caring for Smores
Much like a real pony, Smores loves to be groomed and fed. Children will keep very busy taking care of her. When given her special carrot, Smores will chomp and munch on it. She also enjoys having her mane groomed with her brush. Along with her brush and carrot, Smores comes with a special adoption certificate, which will give your little girl a real sense that Smores belongs exclusively to her.

Smores is highly recommended. This is the next best thing to a real horse! Giddy up Smores!!!

Fur Real Friends Biscuit – My Lovin Pup

by Carol on September 30, 2008

Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup




This ultra-realistic FurReal pup is the perfect first pet for any little girl or boy. Biscuit responds to you and obeys six different commands: sit, lie down, sit up, beg and speak. He’ll also give you a paw when you ask if he wants a treat. Biscuit’s soft, cuddly fur and puppy-dog eyes will instantly win you over. Sitting pup measures 21″ tall.

Watch the video and you’ll be amazed at what this adorable puppy can do. A perfect gift for a young child.

Get ready to welcome a fun-loving furry friend into your house when you adopt Biscuit My Lovin Pup, one of the FurReal Friends by Hasbro. This oversized puppy responds to affectionate touches, voice commands, and motion with playful barks and realistic movements. Kids aged five and up are sure to love having a puppy of their very own.

Getting to Know Your Puppy
Nine sensors allow Biscuit to respond when you pet him or issue a voice command. Kids will enjoy the contented sounds he makes when they pet his back and the discovery that if they hold a hand on his back he will lay down, if he is sitting, or sit up, if he is already laying down. Sensors in his nose and mouth prompt him to sniff when his nose is petted or chomp on his treat. Touch his left paw, and he will raise it to shake. A unique photo sensor in Biscuit’s forehead prompts him to flinch, blink, or sneeze when you wave something in front of him.

Take a peek at the back of the bone-shaped tag on his collar to see all the commands he knows. You can ask him to “sit,” “lie down,” or “speak.” He even knows how to shake and will nod or move his paws in excitement when you ask, “Do you want a treat?” Like any voice recognition technology, Biscuit can be tricked by background noise or speech that is unclear. You may want to help younger children practice speaking the commands loudly, clearly, and distinctly, so they are not disappointed by his confusion.

Playing Options
Based on how much attention you are paying to him, Biscuit cycles through different modes. After a few moments of non-activation, Biscuit enters hangout mode. In this mode, he will move his head a little, whine, or bark to grab your attention. After a few minutes in hangout mode, he’ll lay down and go to sleep. Thanks to his photo sensor, he will go to sleep faster in a darkened room. If the lights suddenly come on when he’s been asleep in a dark room, he’ll lift his head and make a mumbling noise.

While the noises he makes when moving betray his mechanical nature, this playful pup has an incredibly realistic look that is sure to have kids grooming him, offering him snacks, and engaging in imaginative play. With so many life-like responses and an irresistible puppy face, Biscuit really lived up to our expectations. His large size coupled with the weight of six “D” batteries could make it tricky for children to carry him around or travel with him, which means that when you head off on family adventures, he’ll probably have to stay home, the same way a real dog often does.

Plush pup, collar, tag, plastic brush, plastic bone, and adoption certificate.

  • Playtime is going to the dogs and this playful pooch is leading the charge
