I think the IZ is just plain fun. Capable of playing music from your iPod or your stereo system, this is a great toy for kids. Twist his ears or push his belly to modulate the sounds. Kids will love his sound effects and his eye movements. I've seen them in red, green and blue.

BTW, this is a toy for kids, so don't buy it as a cheap speaker for your iPod. You won't enjoy the results.
