outfit I bought myself for my birthday :v

bought some cheap shelves that I could just command-strip onto my walls and immediately populated them with dogs (and cats)

Okay here's my self indulgent little lovely idog unboxing post lmao

First off I think the box is so cute and I'm mystified by all the English on it given the fact that when it came out it was exclusively on the Japanese market. In fact the lovely and happy versions never saw any kind of American analog. But also I know English text on Japanese products is just A Thing and especially in the early 00s I wonder if the trend was even more pronounced.

Fresh out of the box and looking SO slick

Quick little video I took to show the differences between this and the Hasbro version, I just think it's interesting. The Sega design almost ends up feeling more like a prototype but I like that it also has more of a ~robot~ feel to it.

And one supplemental image because I realized I didn't touch on the different speaker design or the buttons on the Sega dog's head and didn't feel like retaking the video 🤷

Just from a quick computer-translated glance at the manual it seems like the Sega dog does a load of different things that didn't carry over into the Hasbro release, so I'll definitely follow up when I've got the right size batteries 😭
