Ah, yes, a variety on that theme. Different dog, so to speak, and a much better price on this one sans box.

It's the "perfect" lip synch speaker phone and moving eyes that set it apart. Wonder how many people actually had these?

I know the dog phone barks when a call comes in, but what does the bear phone sound like when a call comes in?

I like outgoing audio cassette, endless customization options possible there.

My dad, if he were still alive, would like the Uniphone on the Goodwill site.  He wanted phones and stuffed animals to be kept separate.
