We knew that BT was working on something similar to this, but here in the States, Marx Toys has a line of plush Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck dolls that connect to a PC and “enhance” instant messenger conversations:
For example, if one friend has a Bugs Bunny IM Buddy and is logged onto an IM application with another friend who has a Daffy Duck IM Buddy, then each can enhance their IM conversation by activating the other’s actual toy to move animatronically and “speak” in the character’s voice, from any location, anywhere in the world!!
It’s amazing how the Internet manages to get more and more bizarre every day.
