Guess who’s back to doing Zhu Zhu Pets reviews, that’s right! And here we’re starting off with a Zhu that I had for quite a while which is a “very weird” Winkie. This Winkie I bought in a lot of Zhus back in 2019, and I was so surprised to hear this one sound a lot different than many of the other ones of Winkie I usually see & hear all the time. At first, I thought this was like an extremely rare sound quality version that no one has seen before, but it’s actually not. It appears that something in its board is causing it to go fast and glitch like this, not sure what it is but it’s actually pretty funny and unique. Some of the noises he makes while being speedy are actually quite funny LOL
Winkie is still my most favorite Zhu in the Series 2 line as I love his sounds! This particular Winkie is actually entertaining to watch him sound like this, and I might keep him like this (unless something goes terribly wrong where he fries, but he seems to be fine as of now though). Also, I’ve found out that mine is actually a 1st Generation Winkie because he doesn’t have a tilt sensor that many of the other Zhus have as it has been proven recently that there are actually two generations of the Series 2 Zhus (and maybe Series 1 Zhus too) where the earlier gens don’t have tilt sensors, and the later ones like mine do when they fall over while exploring. The tilt sensor is NOT broken in any way, it has been studied that the internals inside of him and other Series 2 Zhus that are 1st Gens weren’t programmed to have tilt sensors yet until a while later when more Zhus were introduced in the Zhu Zhu Pets line. If it doesn’t respond when tipped or fallen over while exploring, that means it’s a 1st Gen (for Series 2 Zhus).
I do also have a confirmed 2nd Generation Winkie (which is my original one) in my collection which you can see on my channel that I did a review on a long time ago! Quite cool right?
Name of Zhu: Winkie
Series: 2
Gender: Male
Fur Color: Black & White
Birthmark Symbol: Foot
Birthday: 1/22
Character Bio (found from the old Zhu Zhu Pets Website): Winkie is a very adorable hamster who is slow, steady, and is more laid-back than Chunk. Winkie loves to do one thing only; chill out with his friends and family! He’s content with taking life easy and doesn’t see what the fuss is about needing to be always on the go. Taking time to smell the roses is what this hamster does best!
