**Boppin' Beaver** is one of the Linkimals that was released in 2021.

## Physical Appearance

Boppin' Beaver is a yellowish-orange beaver. It has black eyebrows, a big black nose, white buck teeth and black and white eyes. Three whiskers are on the sides of Beaver's nose, it has a "tuft of hair" sculpted on top of its head, and below its ears are either fur to compensate the whiskers or more "hair". The beaver is in a sitting position with its left hand up. Paws and claws are molded on each hand, and rows of triangles are molded on each of its feet.

In the center of the beaver's belly is a light panel with a small "Fisher-Price" logo in the center. The power switch is located on the beaver's right arm.

Its tail appears to be made of felt. It is blue with a "wave" pattern done in teal. The tail has teal shapes scattered on it that are outlined in green (for the circle), red (for the heart), orange (for the triangle), blue (for the square) and yellow (for the star). The back of the beaver has an "FP" logo where the tail is attached.

## Features and Functions

The beaver is activated by pushing down on its head. When the head is pushed down, the tail swings from its left side to its right, and releasing the head causes the tail to return to its resting position. This works even if Beaver is turned off or if you don't have batteries in it.

When it is switched on, the turn-on sound plays and the beaver says "Oh, hi!", then makes a "nibbling" sound, then it giggles. It does the same thing if you activate it by pushing its head (except it plays the activation sound instead of the turn-on sound), but after it giggles, it will make a "tail swishing" sound and chuckle before singing "Hello Friends".

Throughout its routine, the beaver plays a game with the user, called "Hide And Seek Shapes", where it tells the user to find the five shapes on its tail, then it sings a song about that shape. After it sings about the square and the heart, one can push its head and the beaver will respond with "Did you find a blue square?" or "Did you find a red heart?"

The beaver also periodically calls out "Beaver boogie break!" and it plays a musical tune.

The box claims that it plays 25+ songs, sounds, tunes and phrases in total.

## Interactivity with Other Linkimals

Like the other Linkimals, Boppin' Beaver can communicate with other Linkimals. It can sing "Hello Friends" and "Colorful Friends" with them, it can say phrases not heard when you play with it on its own, and you unlock the roll call sequence before "Hello Friends".

If the beaver is activated, it will do its turn on sequence. Immediately after the beaver giggles, one of the Linkimals will greet the beaver, then a few seconds after that all of the Linkimals except for the beaver will laugh. Then, the beaver does the "tail swishing" sound and chuckles before starting the roll call.

After announcing that it's time to play "Hide And Seek Shapes", the beaver asks "What shape should we look for?" before announcing the shape it will sing about. It doesn't ask this when you play with the beaver on its own, as it just makes the sound for each shape after announcing that it's time to play the game.

During the beaver's color song, the other Linkimals will repeat the colors said.
