PSA virtual pet collectors, don't buy these cheap v-pets that keep popping up on Ebay
I've noticed these things popping up all over the place. The packaging is very cute, so it's tempting to check it out. But don't. You'll notice almost every single listing here is "new in box" which likely means it's not opened and untested. I don't think that's a coincidence. Likely several crates of these were discovered in a warehouse somewhere and auctioned off to "professional reseller" clowns who take advantage of hobbyists. The only thing they have going for them is that they're usually cheap ( unless the "professional reseller" is an idiot who thinks all old things are worth whatever they think they can get away with. ) and they have a cute design and shell.
I have actually gotten several of these, at first it was intentional because a V-pet discord group told me what they were, they were simply repackaged Hitorikko pets, which were going for a little bit more money than these more cute ones online. So I bought one of each... and none of them worked. Like, they power on, they make noise, the buttons work, but... nobody should be okay with screens like these.
It's easy to look at these and tell me I got a bad batch from a seller who stored them improperly.
Nope.
I thought the same thing at first, but because I wanted a working one, I actually ended up with 9 of these things from various sellers. I tried getting them from a different seller, and then some sellers included them in lots.... every. Single. One. They are all like this.
These are probably very cheaply made defective bootlegs, or they didn't pass quality control and got stowed in a warehouse, only to be auctioned off to the aforementioned e-bay circus entertainers.
If you want this pet, just buy a legit Hitorikko. It won't have a shell this cute, and the packaging has boring clipart-core animals. But they're much more likely to work than the ones with the cute pictures. Maybe it's possible to do a shell swap if you snag some of the bootlegs for cheap, but I'm not comfortable doing that. Besides, I have not seen a fish version of these bootleg pets, nor a dinosaur version of the Hitorikko. Again, look for this package if you want the programming without the shit screen ( Shit screen still entirely possible to get on legit Hitorikko. Never buy vintage pets if they're not willing to show the screen functioning. )

I finally made a Novac motel room mod instead of just picking the best ones and editing them with the console haha! I picked all their best features like removing stains, adding lights, working radio, working 3 seat sofa, flipped bathroom door - and I added a hotplate! And a bunch of deco. Dinky toys with the roar :) Rocket souvenirs that won't fall over. More pics on the mod page!

It's kind of irritating how most v-pet reviews/impressions in my experience seem to come from people who make the review the same day that they are unboxing their v-pet, and because of that they have not run theirr v-pet for even one day day
...this applies less to Digimon, because Digimon fans tend to vlog their whole experience over the course of several videos, and most of us know what to expect anyway, but I find with Gigapets, the videos you get are often something like this:
"opens the box" so yeah this is what the package looks like, it's really cute, ummm let's pull the tab out, oh look at the cute baby pet, let's feed it, umm... I don't get that... why is it doing that... ummm... well it's cute, I like the shells, very nice animation, 10/10, please like and subscribe"
Can we please get someone who spends like a month with their V-pet before doing a review? I would give you a very good review of the Gigapets Pixie after a few days, but a week later I'd probably tell you it's not a good pet and that you should avoid it.
V-pets are a slow burn pet sim game, so the reviews should reflect that instead of being a thing you try to rush out for quick clicks.

I want one of these ones so bad, but they're too expensive right now.
I got a Tako Seijin! This is an alien digi pet that’s related to Dinkie Dino (made by the same manufacturer) that’s kind of rare these days. I got this on eBay for $20, which was a pretty good deal, as I’ve seen that go as high as $60 😒😅
I hadn’t heard of this one back in the day, but since I love my Dinkie Dino I figured I’ll start collecting all the Dinkie branded pets! I found one more Dinkie pet that should be coming in soon 👌🏾

i love the category of fallout fanart that's just, like, drawing the contents of your character's bag/misc items from the game, and how you can always identify new vegas versions immediately by the presence of dinky the dino toys (and/or star bottle caps). this game has so much personality and charm + everyone loves the dinosaur so much.

I am going insane at how bad this park is in jurassic world like there's a ride where the attendees can control their own orb thing through a large amount of actual dinosaurs. and it doesn't have like a taking over the steering thing to bring them all back in in case of, I don't know, a dinosaur escaping?
I can not concieve of a single scenario where letting untrained guests get this close to wild animals with zero veto power could possibly go wrong - the people that created this ride, apparently
they even IN THE MOVIE ride through a goddamn stampede or something, and we see that just the indominous rexes jaws can get through the glass, a triceratops could definitely get through if it tried hard enough, like maybe, perhaps, hypothetically, in some wild scenario, a rich tourist doesn't understand that maybe getting close to a large herbivores young offspring is a bad idea.
and seriously why is there no button that just.. recalls all of the balls
how does this ride even work how do they get through the line when they just tell guests okay bye go roam this grassy wonderland filled with large things that can kill you yet you have no concern for, people have definitely had sex in those things and people have definitely been gone for hours.
also the mosasaurus cage, hm maybe a second draft might be in order. maybe?
okay. cool. sure. fine whatever, it's not like it does this multiple times daily surely there will be no issue here
she is also shown breaching the barrier and getting onto the walkway in the fucking movie
like the mosasaur is IN THIS BODY OF WATER HERE and that is a busy walkway that people are encouraged to sit and eat under, also sidenote that woman you see falling has like 5 minutes of screentime and half of it is an extremely gruesome death, like by far the worst in the movie. this movie has very normal opinions about women.
okay so this one looks different to the other dinky barrier, somehow even more dinky, but still on a presumably busy walkway since this is on the end of a street where their very obvious sponsor pandora had set up shop (and a bunch of dino merch)
and like yeah, shocker, massive powerful sea creature can leap out of the water and break the dinky fence, it could have done this at any time at all it is probably more powerful than the indominous rex which we SEE breaking much stronger barriers than the dinky glass one. also sidenote this screenshot is VERY funny
I could go on for years about how shit this movie is every other moment there is a massive plothole, very sorry about this post I am going insane.

Dinky the Dinosaur, Boone's sniper-nest in Fallout: New Vegas, was based on Mr. Rex, one of the Cabazon Dinosaurs in southern California.
(Mr. Rex seen here with Paul Reuben memorial paint job, October 2023)
The Dinosaurs are located off the 10 freeway, between the city of Palm Springs and Morongo Casino and Resort. Mr. Rex is part of a museum with an...interesting history, but this post will focus on Mr. Rex's anatomy.
The entrance to the belly of the beast is located behind his left thigh.
Immediately upon entering, a small landing and staircase lead upwards (first landing and entrance pictured from second landing)
The second landing is big enough for one or two groups to wait for their turn to climb to the head.
The third landing is very small, too small to get a proper picture of, and leads immediately to a spiral staircase.
The spiral staircase is aged and precarious, with each step being only a few inches wide. At the fourth landing is a trap door to seal the dino in case of inclement weather.
The fourth landing is the head of Mr. Rex. It's a small, contoured area just big enough for two adults to stand.
The view out of the mouth is limited, but really is a very sheltered sniping spot.
Admission to the museum, which includes Mr. Rex, is $15 for adults. Admission to Dinny the brontosaurus is free. She contains a gift shop.
