Snuggimals

The **Snuggimals** are a series of small, palm-sized electronic pets first released by Hasbro in 2010. The line represents a variety of species, including cats, dogs, rabbits, and others. While the mainline Snuggimals toys did not include accessories, several playsets were released under the name “Dress-And-Snuggle,” which included a classic Snuggimals toy along with two outfits, a brush, and a plastic food accessory.

In 2012, a separate series of upright walking toys, known as the Walkin’ Snuggimals, was released under the Snuggimals moniker.

## Features

The majority of the Snuggimals toys assume a pose in which the toy is lying on its belly with its back facing upwards. However, some of the kitten variants feature the opposite; where the toy is lying on its back with its belly facing upwards. The belly-down version of the toy features a single touch sensor on the toy’s back. When this sensor is triggered, the toy will raise and lower its head and wag its tail back and forth. The functionality of the belly-up toys is virtually identical to the belly-down toys, except the touch sensor is located on the toy’s stomach instead of its back. When the touch sensor is triggered, the toy will raise and lower its head and kick its back legs.
