The Unfortunate Fate of Fijit Friends

Fijit Friends are a line of robotic toys released by Mattel in 2011 but what started as a deep dive into their history led me to discovery the absolute obscurity these guys have fallen into as the years have gone by.

I've never been tempted to make a purchase so bad these guys are so silly looking don't let them be forgotten :(
