Little Pals

Thank you to Crumch's Curiosities for sharing some photos (the manual photos and the first two photos in the second part of the gallery) and info about the manuals!

Little Pals are Micro Pets knockoffs sold by an unknown company. They require two LR44 button cell batteries.

The following versions are confirmed to have been produced:

Bob and Kuda are pictured on the back of the manuals for the Little Pals, but there doesn't appear to be confirmation that they were produced.

Functions

The inside of Moshi's manual, which refers to Moshi as "Sumo" mostly, but refers to Moshi correctly on the TV when mentioning his friends.

Their light-up eyes can flash, they move about on a pair of wheels and can move their front two legs (or arms), and they can make sounds.

To switch the toy on, press the button on its head, and its eyes should light up, it should move about, and make some noises. You can turn it off, by holding down the button on its head for 5 seconds until it plays a tune. According to the manual, they can respond when you call them by their name and when you issue certain phrases towards them, but they will get annoyed if you repeatedly keep telling them to move.

The following table was copied from the manual:
