Knockoffs
Bobby
This knockoff was found by Ninten110, and all photos on this page came from an expired eBay listing.
Bobby is a bootleg Poo-Chi by an unknown company that notifies you when you receive a phone call.
Appearance
The toy well-resembles Poo-chi. However, it has an oval-shaped button and a red nose unlike the actual toy. Bobby is smaller than Poo-Chi and even the visor on his face is smaller and doesn't take up much space on the front of his face. The bottom of the visor is straight, instead of bent like the real Poo-Chi's visor, and Bobby has a small, circular hook.
Bobby comes in the following color variations according to the packaging:
- Silver and blue
- Silver and red
- Silver and yellow
He comes with a black, rectangular stand to place him and his gray, plastic food bowl on. The plastic bowl has his name molded on, and a part of a dog bone is attached to the brim of the food bowl so your cell phone can rest in the bowl against it.
Like Poo-Chi, Bobby has a battery compartment in the back of his head.

Functions
Bobby's eyes light up and flash, and its legs move into a sitting position and then into a standing position quickly when barking. You can press the button on Bobby's head for him to start barking, or Bobby will bark when the phone in his food bowl starts ringing.
