Cute isn't it? Sooooo like a Furby...if Furbies were 2.5" tall and powered by a pull string in the back.

Introducing.....

• A beak
• Two little feet
• Pink lined ears
• Beady glass eyes
• A mane running down it's back

And Hoodypets come in the same array of colors as Furby: Brown, White, Black, Grey.

But would that be enough to make this a Class Three Furby Bootleg? Well, yeah, I guess it might. But lucky for us there is one more bit of damning evidence.

Let's take a close look at the Hoodypet logo:

What a shocker!

This logo appears twice on the HoodyPet hangtag, once on each side.

The back, at right, again has the logo, a child safety warning: For ages 3 and Up (repeated in Spanish and French), a "Made in China" line, and "USA Copyright, Trade Mark Patent Pending" and a UPC Code.

But let's talk about HoodyPet's action feature.

Afixed to Hoody's butt is a small plastic pullring. Pull out the eight or so inches of string attached, and release!

Hoodypet at this point will go into a small seizure, vibrating and whirring like a mini Tickle-Me-Elmo.

The whole "magic fingers segment" lasts for about four seconds. But it sure is funny!
