(Mods, please move this if it's in the wrong place, I was a bit unsure of where to post this!)
So in a previous thread asking about how we all first found out about Petz, it seemed like I was the only one to know about the toys first, and the games later (despite the fact that the toys were based on the games and not the other way around). I actually still have both my Dogz and my (actually my brother's) Catz, so I thought I'd dig them out and post a pic if anyone's interested in seeing what they looked like.
They're over 20 years old (they were Christmas presents from 1997), so they are a bit worse for wear, but still recognizable, I'd say!
The Dogz is a Scrappy (later the mutt), and the Catz is a Pouncer (later the B&W shorthair, obviously). If memory serves correctly there was a plush for each of the five original Dogz breeds and five original Catz breeds. They each came with a combined food/water bowl, as well as a bone with the Dogz and a toy mouse for the Catz. When you brought these toys up to their mouths the sound boxes on their collars would place appropriate eating/playing sounds. They also each came with a brush, and brushing their fur would also activate happy barks or meows. The box on my Dogz's collar is obviously coming off a bit, but I think it still plays the sounds. I know I have some of the accessories somewhere in the house but didn't want to dig for them lol. The eyelids are supposed to be adjustable to have them either sleeping or wide awake, but mine keep drooping to the point where they look like they're always super sleepy.
Also, after taking this picture my daughter swooped in and decided they are now hers
Did anyone else have these back in the day? I'd especially be curious if anyone had any of the other breeds. It would be cool to see a complete set of them!
