FIJIT Friends Review : FIJIT Friends Interactive Toy For All Children

Our Fijit Friends review here is trying to offer you a glimpse into the world of Fijit friends. These toys have been selling like hot cakes recently, especially when the holiday is approaching, we’ve noticed how children are super excited when they interact with their new Fijit friends. Designed by Mattel, there are 4 adorable squishy robots, especially for girls between 6 to 10-year-old, however, many boys are excited to play with this toy too.

Each of Fijit friends comes in a nice box which easy to get it out of , just cut the tape on the access points, twist the 3 small knobs that keep Fijit secure inside the box, then pop this soft smiling robot out. At first touch, you’ll notice that the skin is pretty soft and gooey where you can press or stretch while the head and ears are solid plastic. Fijit Friends robot is an interactive robot toy that responds to some voice commands (there’s a list of the commands) in order to do some cool dances or tell jokes. Our guess is that both you and your daughter will laugh together playing this little friend. As soon as Fijit is on, the first words this robot says would be “What do you want to now?”. There are certain commands that you can use in order to make Fijit dance, sleep, or create their own conversation, in fact, they can still respond to your command when they are within 20 feet and in chirp mode.
