Sing Along When You’re in the Zone
Part of Monopoly Revolution’s appeal is the music that plays
during certain moments in the game. When you land on one of the
board’s designated zones, you’ll hear music. For example, in the
Car Zone, you’ll hear excerpts from the Beatles song, “Drive My
Car.” Each zone has its own theme song that plays before you’re
given a chance to buy properties, pass Go, or go to Jail.
Game Unit Manages Your Money
Monopoly Revolution features a Game Unit that manages all cash
flow electronically, so you don’t have to mess with stacks of
paper bills anymore. As a result, the game reflects today’s
marketplace and economic trends, giving younger generations of
players real-life lessons in managing cash flow.
Instead of carrying cash, players will all receive a debit card. The Game Unit lets players know their individual balances during transactions and when they pass Go. This game update makes for a tidier playing area, yet still requires players to budget their resources smartly.
Modern Playing Pieces
Monopoly Revolution’s playing pieces have retained the familiar
shapes of the classic version, but they have been redesigned with
some modern flair. Now sleeker and easier to handle, the pieces
are transparent and upright, adding another contemporary touch to
the game.
An Updated Classic
Despite the electronics and modern updates, Monopoly Revolution
retains the essence of the original game. Buy properties, build
houses and hotels, borrow money, and seek to own as much as you
can. Rest assured you’ll still enjoy the good old-fashioned
thrill of watching your opponent land on your hotel-laden
properties–and adding to your bank account.

The FurReal Go Go Walking Pup
Product Description
This toy is predicticed to be in the top five most popular toy to buy this Christmas. I don’t think it’s as cute as the Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup but then again it is over $100 cheaper.
From neighborhood strolls to playing in the park, there?s nowhere your loveable puppy doesn?t want to walk with you! While you two are out exploring together, he?ll make barking sounds and wag his tail to show you how much he?s enjoying his walk.
Use the remote control leash to guide your little friend wherever you want to go and just see where your adventures take you!With the FurReal GoGo My Walking Pup, your child can walk the dog as much as she wants, and GoGo definitely wants to go for a walk.
The moment this remote-controlled pup notices your child in the room, she barks to let you know she’s ready for an adventure. So leash her up, take her outside on the sidewalk or driveway, and have fun. Designed for children 4 years and older, GoGo is as realistic a pet as it gets, complete with all the barks, pants, and whines that your child will thrill to.

Looks, Barks, and Pants Like the Real Thing
Modeled after a Bichon Frise dog, GoGo is soft to the touch and
proportioned close to the real thing. Her ears have a
crinkle-style texture and closely resemble a Bichon’s after a
trip to the groomer. In other words, GoGo is a cutie.
Pet GoGo on the head and she will bark with enthusiasm. Pet her on the side, and she’ll turn to meet you. GoGo’s tail wags and she gives off a high-pitched bark. Her head tilts, raises and lowers, and her body wiggles.
Her actions are startlingly life-like, so much so that while our testers were taking a break from playing with her, GoGo stood before the lunch counter, barking and panting as if she wanted a treat like any real dog would. She even sheds, so beware!
Remote-Controlled Dog Wants to Go, Go, Go!
GoGo is aptly named. With the big-buttoned remote control that
doubles as a leash and fits comfortably in a young child’s hand,
you can turn on the pup and she’s raring to go. Set her to “try”
mode, and GoGo will respond to sound or motion–she’ll also bark,
but she won’t move. Set GoGo to “on” mode, and she practically
tugs at her leash to go for a walk.
The leash controls GoGo’s movements. Press the forward arrow, and she walks at a kid’s pace; press the left and right arrow buttons, and she negotiates corners. Once GoGo starts moving, she doesn’t want to come back. Don’t worry, though–her motor is not too strong, so kids can easily rein her in when it’s time to go home.
Even while in the “on” mode, GoGo remains both sound and motion activated, so any activity on your walk will make her respond like a real pet. Be careful–if you cough or sneeze in GoGo’s presence, she could take off on her own!
Built to Walk on Smooth, Dry Surfaces
GoGo is designed with four rubber wheels–one beneath each
paw–that are hidden by fur. Each of the front wheels rotates on a
cam lobe, and GoGo’s knees are jointed, so her front legs appear
to bend as if she’s extending her forepaws to walk.
GoGo responded well, walking without any stumbles or glitches, when our testers walked her on hard floors and commercial carpets. The box’s photos show GoGo parading down an outdoor sidewalk. As long as the terrain is smooth and dry, we think she’ll be fine. But make sure you gently clean GoGo off with a slightly damp cloth or brush to keep her mechanisms in working order.
This Pup Loves to Be Pampered
Like any good-natured dog, GoGo wants to be loved. She’ll whine
if she’s being lifted awkwardly or pulled harshly by her leash,
and she may even stop moving. In fact, in our repeated tests, it
sounded as if GoGo let out a brief growl whenever we weren’t as
gentle as we should have been.
Also, if you want peace and quiet around the house, make sure you turn GoGo off when it’s time for her to nap. Otherwise, like a real puppy, she pants and barks at surprising times, and that can wear down her batteries.
What’s in the Box
GoGo puppy, remote control, and instructions.
Details:
- He’ll make barking sounds and wag his tail.
- Use the remote control leash to guide your little friend wherever you want to go!
- Just see where your adventures take you!
