This is the Blue Sega I-Dog Mini that I bought brand new from Amazon for $25.99 back in 2019! He appears to fully work with no issues and is the third ever Sega I-Dog Mini I bought on the same day along with the other two colors (Pink & Silver) which came from the same seller and I also happen to have in my collection, when I’ve found out about the Japanese Sega I-Dog Minis that exist and how different they are from the Hasbro I-Dog Pups we know of already. He’s in pretty good condition despite being brand new when I first got him years ago and is in between high and extremely high pitch (even though it’s mostly high pitch). I kinda wished mine would have a extremely high pitch like three other ones I’ve seen of this Blue I-Dog Mini but that’s alright because I still personally enjoy him for how he is, even how unique it is generally.
The Japanese Sega I-Dog Minis are really unique because they have different features that the US I-Dog Pups don’t have which are lacking the try me switch, get lower pitched when running on lower batteries, move differently where it’s like off sync at some points when playing the riffs (it’s more noticeable in Lonely and Happy), takes five secs to turn off (while the I-Dog Pups take two secs), and is a little more shiner in color for the paint job it has on each one than the 2005 I-Dog Pups. They’re almost identical but not actually even that close. The Japanese Sega 2005/2006 I-Dog Minis were produced by Sega Toys and released exclusively in Japan in early 2006, as the second run of the earlier model I-Dog Pups known as “I-Dog Mini” before the US Hasbro I-Dog Pups came out as the improved models (and name of the I-Dog calling them “I-Dog Pup” as the official one) that have a few more cooler features that the Japanese Sega I-Dog Minis don’t have.
Really happy to have this one as it might possibly be my favorite Sega I-Dog Mini out of the other two colors produced but I just love mostly how shiny and blue he is in general, including the unique Dance Riffs it plays too! It’s also very rare to find just like all three of the produced colors of the Sega I-Dog Minis have always been hard to find, but is starting to become extremely rare nowadays since they haven’t been showing up for sale much lately than they used to, even on Japan shopping websites. This is seriously a really cool I-Dog to have with the different features it has which were later updated for the US Hasbro I-Dog Pups after the Minis were released during the early 2006 era of the I-Dog’s popularity where they sold really well back then in the good old days.

Basic info: This is the Blue Japanese Sega I-Dog Mini that plays Dance Riffs and flashes all lights green. It was the third color of the Sega I-Dog Minis produced and has groovy dance tunes. It plays a total of 12 Riffs which is divided into three remixed riffs in each mood it has except sick. The Blue Sega 2005/2006 I-Dog Mini was released in early 2006 along with the other two Sega I-Dog Minis (the Pink and Silver ones) after the success of the Original 2005 I-Dog selling really well and it was the time when Hasbro officially announced that the 2005 I-Dog Pups and the I-Cat were in the making and to be released in stores back in 2006 which definitely sold really well in the past years of the popularity of the I-Dog rising more and more during the early 2000s. Turn up your music loud, and watch him dance along to it and will flash his green lights to the rhythm while getting it down to the music playing. The Sega I-Dog Minis have fantastic musical skills, despite being a tiny puppy I-Dog, and plays very good riffs to describe how he/she feels by how much you play/take care of it by giving attention (double nose clicks) and plenty of music it needs from you! Perfect for those who are a big fan of Dance just like this I-Dog Mini plays them in it’s own special way.
