Little Inu sort of looks like a cheaper pleo more suitable for younger kids.  Was Little Inu purposely based of of Pleo, they look extremely similar.

My dad's girlfriend bought these for her young nephews, if you have very young kids they are kind of cute. They are called Dino Trains and apparently say over 40 things as well as communicate with one another. They also move, the T-Rex stomps and the Pteranadon flaps, there's two others as well, a triceratops and I would guess a long necked dino of some sort.

They were only $10 each (on special, regular price $30).

That's neat! I like toys that interact with one another. They do look like they'd be great fun for little kids. Too bad the kids closest to me are nine and ten going on nineteen and twenty. Lol! They want big expensive stuff- cellphones and laptops.

hey guys here's a video about little inu. I haven't received mine yet. He looks cute and the interactions seems to be entartaining, but the little fellow seems to be noisy too, but maybe we can't judge from a single video ;)

From the looks of things I'd say the neck is not jointed like a Pleo's. Do they walk?

I think they are suppose to walk.  I think I want to see one roaming around in a video before I make up my mind to purchase or not.  Thanks for posting the video  :)

yes, in the video in the link i saw one walk for a moment. The movements aren't fluid like pleos, but for that price Little Inu looks very interesting. The bad point for me is that they haven't camera and edge detection.

hopefully vids of little Inu walking will pop up on youtube very soon , did notice that it looks like they are going to release a few extra accessories to buy separate for Inu which seems cool and as Inu is starting from age 5 up looks like Inu will be made a bit more durable and stronger to handle play from young children .

I think he should look more cool with different colours (why always green?), like cream and brown ;)

I'm drooling over Inu and Keepon right now... xD

How come Inu gets babies and pleo doesn't? Shame, I want a little(er) pleo running around. xD

Oh my gosh, wouldn't it be cool if pleo's could lay eggs or something?  Then you would have to wait until the egg "hatches" then lo and behold, a little pleo!  Like the big pleos, they would have randomized eyes/skin tones and interact with momma pleo.  %)
Then again, aren't pleo's themselves designed to be baby dinos?
Oh well, cool thought.  :D

You can buy the original Keepon, with the cameras, for around $30,000!  ;)

Wowowowowowowow! I could pay for an entire semester of classes at the University of South Carolina Upstate with that. Does it do dishes too? Lol. I'm kidding. Unfortunately it looks like I won't be treating myself to an Aibo any time soon. The hard drive in my computer is going bad so I'll be adopting a pet laptop instead. Still this post is very interesting and I'll be keeping my ears open.

From looking through all the info they have on the website about Inu it looks like he wiggles and moves his head and tail but doesn't walk.  Still not too bad for a kids toy.  If he walked I might have bought one. :)
