Chatimals Meerkat
Chatimals are gorgeous furry creatures which repeat the words you say verbatim in a hilariously low or high voice, changing pitch at random from a squeaky Bee Gee-style high to deep bass tones.
New for 2010, these guys, available as a meerkat or hamster, are seriously funny and so easy to use. Just squeeze the paws on your Chatimal Meerkat, available in grey, ginger or brown, say your piece then watch and listen as your new best friend plays to the gallery! To add to the fun, watch your furry friend’s lips move as they ‘talk’.
You can even talk away in another language if you want to - like an electronic, furry Mynah bird, your chatty Chatimal will take in and repeat every word and noise.
The Chatimal Meerkat records sound in five-second bursts lasting up to 30 seconds in all. It’s the perfect way to infuriate, wind up and delight your friends and family in equal measure. Record insults or compliments as the fancy takes you, and the sillier the accent you use to make your message, the better! Adults will love the meerkats’ antics as much as the kids.
Cuddly and with soft, plush fur, the Chatimal Meerkat stands at around 20cm high, 14cm wide and some 12cm deep. It takes three AAA batteries, which are not supplied with this toy, and which turn off after 30 seconds to save power.
The Chatimals Meerkat is priced at around £20, and suitable for children aged four or older. With the nation going Chatimal crazy, and meerkats in particular more popular than ever, get your order in for Christmas as soon as you can.
