Interactive Veemon Plush

Interactive Veemon plush (Used condition, missing teeth with glue exposed)

## Description

Interactive Veemon (sometimes called “Interactive Talking Veemon" or "Veemon Alarm Clock") is an electronic plush released in the year 2000. His body is stiff, as it houses a blue D-3 in his belly that acts as the command center for all of his functions. This plush can talk, wiggle its ears, move its eyes, record sounds, act as a calendar and alarm clock, and much more. It is made of a soft blue and white fabric, has yellow vinyl for his markings, and two triangular felt-like fangs. Strangely, the plush is not voiced by the same voice actor (Derek Stephen Prince) who played Veemon in the English dub of Digimon season 2.

This Veemon plush seems to be more functional than true to the character of his TV show counterpart. The target audience for this toy was most likely school-aged children, as Veemon will often remind the user of various things that they should be doing such as brushing their teeth, doing their homework, eating snacks, or going to school.

## Functions

Interactive Veemon holds many features and abilities, and can be used as a casual talking plush, or a digital assistant. Features include:

* Moving and wiggling ears

* Changing eyes, which flip between:
	+ Open eyes (default)
	+ Closed eyes happy expression (^\_^)

* Moving eyelids in several modes:
	+ Open fully
	+ Blinking
	+ Half-lidded (sleepy)
	+ Fully closed (sleeping)

* Alarm clock and calendar:
	+ Veemon can keep track of the time and date, and can inform you of both on command by squeezing the buttons on his hands.
	+ If the alarm clock feature is turned on, Veemon will activate at the given time and will greet the user with various lines (IE: “Good morning! [Yawn] Today is [weekday, date]” followed by a random phrase.)
	+ This feature also keeps track of your birthday (if you input that information), and will provide you with a special birthday greeting on that day.
	+ If a bedtime is set, Veemon will “go to sleep” at a certain time after wishing you goodnight and drifting off to sleep (complete with a short snoring sound effect).
	+ Veemon can keep track of holidays such as Christmas and Easter, and also will observe daylight savings time (with the push of a button). If desired, the user can also input up to 4 special events into Veemon’s calendar and set up reminders for them.

* Motion activation if you wave your hand over the D-3

* Various phrases, jokes, and sound effects

* Audio recording: Veemon allows for short audio clips to be recorded. These can be used to “tell Veemon your name”, set reminders, etc

* Mini games

* Mute/Sleep mode

## Issues

* Veemon’s eyes tend to make loud mechanical whirring noises while changing expressions, and may potentially get louder with age/use as parts break down.
* It’s possible that the eyes and/or eyelids on pre-owned/used Interactive Veemons might not always function. Always check the condition of the item before buying secondhand.
* Veemon's fangs/teeth might fall off, leaving exposed dry glue. The teeth can easily be glued back on if desired, however.
* The face of the D3 might get scratched if handled roughly.
* It is always a good idea to remove batteries if the plush is no longer in use to prevent battery leakage and corrosion.
