It’s good for some cute stuff for this weekend. Here comes the upgraded version of the cute little tortoises by TakaraTomy that definitely give you a mood boost when you’re too bored with your work. The upgraded tiny tortoises here are called the Rhythmbits. The Rhythmbits have few enhanced features i.e giving you more fun, more lively and responsive to sound, which the ancestor Walkiebits don’t have.
Rhythmbits are sensitive with sound, which it responds well to music and can make turns along with the music. It also responds to voice, which it’ll blow a low whistle after you call it and their shells are interchangeable. Well, the Rhythmbit turtoise doesn’t do all these by itself alone. All it depends is a gramophone shaped remote control that comes with it to analyze the the sound and guide it through wirelessly via infrared.
