cutest music player ever!

Last week, a cute little dancing, musical penguin arrived at my desk. No, its not the latest winner of Penguin Idol, its the new I-Cy from Hasbro and it’s totally freakin’ adorable. I know, with a name like I-Cy, it sounds like something you would buy from the ice cream truck. But actually, it is an interactive music companion thats an addition to the popular I-Dog collection. If you love the I-Dog, you’ll love the I-Cy! When I opened the box, my coworkers and I giggled and ooh-ed and ahh-ed at this thing for a good 20 minutes, no joke! We even hooked up an iPod and it started grooving to some Fall Out Boy. To be honest, I feel like the I-cy has its favorite songs because there were some that it just wouldn’t dance to! But for most of the songs we played, there was a little flipper movement the I-cy would move back and forth. It doesnt move like Justin Timberlake, but I guess for a mechanical dancing penguin, it’s pretty darn cute. The speaker is also really tiny, so the sound is not big and booming like you would get from a huge speaker system. It’s great as a desktop music player and even to bring from room to room with you. I brought mine into the bathroom with me so I could listen to Gym Class Heroes while I did my makeup. So awesome!

The I-cy isn’t available just yet, but check www.hasbrotoyshop.com and major toy retailers at the end of March to snag one for yourself. Its only $20! Would you buy an I-cy for yourself? Hey, it also makes a great gift!
