Zhu Zhu pets are the new Buzz Lightyear.
Interactive plush hamsters called Zhu Zhu pets are the latest phenomenon on the toy market, and the hottest toy for the 2009 Christmas season.
Zhu Zhu Pets are already out of stock nearly everywhere. A friend of mine did manage to find one on Ebay and I did notice that Amazon has some left in stock.
Zhu Zhu Hamsters are the perfect toy for children who might want a real hamster, but are two young for the responsibilities that come with owning a hamster.

Each Zhu Zhu interactive plush toy hamster has 40 sound effects. They have two modes. In explore mode they explore while scooting and scampering across the room. When in loving mode they squeak and chatter while you pet them.
Don’t wait! Get your Zhu Zhu pet now.

But is there a “hot” toy that was worth it when the dust settled, or when more supplies became available? If I could not get Tickle Me Elmo for Christmas, maybe it’d be available for the next birthday.
I’m big-time suspicious of hot toys, as you may surmise.

It’s really worth it to see the excitement on your child’s face. Merry Commercialized Christmas.

Yep, the girls want ZhuZhu pets! I managed to snag three of the accessory kits (tunnels, wheel, car) and my mom tracked down two hamsters. This was over a month ago. We’re all set!

Oh, the accessories — those tubes, how cute! We had a real hamster which did not work out so well, so maybe this one will be it. Does he play the hamster dance song as part of his sound effects?
I wonder if our daschund would eat him, tho?
Hmnnn.

I’m afraid it doesn’t, but you can buy her the “Hamster Dance” song to go along with it.

Why am I always late to the party? I never even heard of these.
