Xeno - 5399 - Interactive Plush - Gentil Petit Monster - Blue (Toy)

Customer Review

Presentation
Do not look at him any resemblance to a known animal, Xeno is a monster and is like nothing else. Strictly speaking, his mug if one disregards the huge booger dangling from his left nostril, makes me think of some famous cartoon character Stitch. His body is completely covered with rubber studs. Does not he will eventually disintegrate gradually over time? Ultimately, it is rather unpleasant to the touch and is expected to have fingers that stick and smelly (!) Well, okay, here I am perhaps a little rough and rest assured, this is not the case ^^ However, this texture is not especially well chosen and also might become dirty if your child lugs around his Xeno everywhere with him.
It comes in 3 colors: blue, orange and pink / purple. A stocky body 20cm, ears, neck, eyebrows and arms are articulated, but he sits on his backside plastic, unable to move more or to move. Its body is flexible, and you can feel the hard plastic casing under the thick rubber layer that covers the full.

Use
The beast of batteries are included and preinstalled. This is a very good point, especially if your child is impatient with the idea of ​​seeing his new companion to life. It also has a switch which allows to switch it off instead of waiting he fell asleep himself. So convenient if you roused by mistake or you want to shut him to let him accompany your child nap. We find a similar technology with large Furby electronic eyes can display different expressions. This feature is rather successful. Thus, like a manga character, Xeno emotions emerge, sometimes sad, sometimes joyful, or teasing. The few words he is able to speak in English, which is very unfortunate. The rest of the time he farts, burps or whines. There is no sensor on his body, so it must be frankly pushing buttons strategically placed to react: his hands, his navel, his feet, his tail, his booger and mouth. It also head greedily finger presented to him as the fact that some robotic teddy knows well. However, it is sensitive to music that can propose and appears quite willing to make known its views on your musical tastes ^^

Games
"Wanna play? "Xeno invites you to play with him. He then proposes a list of prerecorded 5 mini games in its internal memory. You will answer "yes" or "no" to all of its ads by pressing his right hand for yes or no to his left hand. Bad player, he pleurnichera if he were to lose and will prove happy if he wins.
1) Beat-a-burp
Xeno performs a rhythmic sequence burping (yes!), So the goal of this game is to reproduce this sequence in the same rhythm, by pressing one of his hands.
2) Lokk-a-where
Xeno closes his eyes. The principle is to guess which direction will shoot his eye when he open his eyes. To do this, use one of his sensors: the booger to indicate the top, left hand for the left, the right hand to the right and down to the navel.
3) Burp factor
This is a game combining the first and second: Xeno offers a sequence of eyes turned in different directions. The aim therefore is to reproduce the sequence thanks to the different sensors concerned (the booger to indicate the top, left hand for the left, the right hand to the right and down to the navel)
4) Catcha-Catcha
Xeno opens his mouth like a hungry carp. The goal is to slide his finger before it closes.
5) Quikk-a-burp
Xeno loves grow visibly burping. And so this game is to anticipate the exact moment he will burp by pressing one of his hands at this moment.

The dedicated application
Available on Android and iOS, the app allows Xeno raising a virtual Xeno, feed, care for, wash ... It offers other features that I have unfortunately not included. It is not useful to have a Xeno to play with this app and vice versa, Xeno not doing very well without one having to download for it. Moreover, it makes sense to connect and interact with you when playing virtual games Xeno but it does not work every time.

Verdict
Despite its pretty promises, this little monster is still quite disappointing. Sold more than a last generation Furby, it still offers more features than not the evil owl Hasbro. Less attractive design, it still feels he is predestined to a clientele of young boys, although it is also available in the color purple / pink dear to girls. His booger really a problem for me and I find it unfortunate to have dressed up in this horror, as already farts and burps are enough limits. To believe that today, designers are convinced that we must seem "filthy" to attract children! Shortly interactive, not educational at all, it is clearly intended to make you laugh a very young audience, perhaps is why adults may feel somewhat put off by its general appearance. Still, he's cute and concept looked good but in the end it is still a little hungry when compared to what exists on the market.

Conclusion
(+) General appearance rather endearing choice rather original character, emotions eyes successful
(-) Really unpleasant texture to the touch, dung ignoble nose, too limited functions
