This is the Japanese Sega Silver I-Dog Mini (my second one) that I bought brand new from Amazon back in 2019 for only $25.99! It’s also the fourth ever Sega I-Dog Mini that I bought after the other two colors (Pink & Blue) and my original Silver (first one) which came from the same seller while this one came from a different seller. When I got this one the time when my first Silver I-Dog Mini was broken, it was working for only about a few months until it started to act strange and eventually, the motor died on it where it didn’t move the head anymore and there used to be weird stuff in one of the battery contacts that caused him to glitch a little bit like he was frying or something and didn’t turn on again after that happened before. Since this guy was once broken, I sent him to my best friend IDogFan41 for repairs and is successfully repaired with a new motor that runs much better now and when it arrived to him, he started to work again out of nowhere which turned out he wasn’t fried at all which is a blessing.
The speaker also got replaced with one that has pretty good quality bass to it when it plays the Hip-Hop Riffs since his original speaker was used for my original Silver I-Dog Mini instead. I also cleaned up the tiny bit of stuff in him and he doesn’t act weird anymore. To this day, he fully works with no more issues which is great! It also has a normal pitch too. The Silver Minis always seem to come defective lol
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.
I’m glad to have this one since I love the shiny silver it has and is still in great condition too. This is also my second one as I do have a first and third one(s) of this particular I-Dog. 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.

Fun Slogan(s): “My pet loves music too!” “Little Dog, Big Sound!”
Basic info: This is the Silver Japanese Sega I-Dog Mini that plays Hip-Hop Riffs and flashes all lights neon yellow. It was the second color of the Sega I-Dog Minis produced and has epic hip-hop beats. It plays a total of 12 Riffs which is divided into three remixed riffs in each mood it has except sick. The Silver Sega 2005/2006 I-Dog Mini was released in early 2006 along with the other two Sega I-Dog Minis (the Pink and Blue 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 yellow 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 Hip-Hop just like this I-Dog Mini plays them in it’s own special way.

![Gemmy Animated 2012 Mini Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer [Dark Fur/RARE Variant]
This is the Gemmy Animated 2012 Mini Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer which is a really rare variant that hasn’t ever been known to exist until years later!
This is a special variant of the Mini Rudolph series from Gemmy that has darker fur rather than the lighter fur that many of the previous ones had like the 2010/2011 models of this Rudolph, has no hair in his ears, and the nose is plush instead of hard. This unique variant of Rudolph is surely UBER Rare to find and one of the most rarest Gemmy Rudolph items to come across, especially since there wasn’t even any videos of this exact Rudolph in action at all (until now), and even I didn’t know this version existed either.
I got this Rudolph for my birthday this year a few months back and thought why not upload it in action since it’s Christmas already, so here it is lol
I’m also officially the second person to upload a video of this 2012 model Mini Rudolph in action on YouTube as there is also one other video of one in action that was uploaded by a Gemmy collector named Erik The Fish Guy. Here’s a video of the first 2012 Mini Rudolph in action for proof and reference purposes (it also has a low pitch too): https://youtu.be/0WemTvewFJE
Mine works great with no issues and has a nice normal pitch too. I’m hoping he’ll last a long time since these Mini Rudolphs are so cheaply made and are known to just break so easily (like I used to have the 2010 and 2011 of this but those are more common than this and both of those broke).
Surprisingly, this was the very last Rudolph to play the classic recording we all loved that sounds exactly like Rudolph in the good old years of Gemmy and they used this recording from 1997-2011 and since this was released in 2012 where they weirdly changed the recording on other Rudolph items in that year, this still has the legendary recording and is the last Rudolph to have from Gemmy. I find that pretty amazing and way better than using a new recording that sounded nothing like Rudolph at that time. This is super UBER Rare and very hard to find anywhere, no joke!
Rudolph sings “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer” and says phrases from the movie which are:
“My Name’s Rudolph, hi.”
“(Nose Squeak)”
“She Said I’m...CUTE!!!!!”
“(Nose Squeal)”
“It would be an honor sir!”
“SANTA!!!”
Enjoy guys and Merry Christmas!! Gemmy Animated 2012 Mini Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer [Dark Fur/RARE Variant]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BtPOKYyfCi8/mqdefault.jpg)
