WiWi Tiger
I'm keeping this page separate from Gosha's page to avoid confusion,
even if I find proof of Gosha being a part of this toy's series. Also,
I cannot confirm if WiWi Tiger is its official name. I'm just going by
what the source refers to the toy as. It also refers to it as "ViVi Tiger",
so I don't know which one is correct.
WiWi Tiger (WiWi虎) is the name of an interactive toy resembling a tiger.
The box has a title which reads "Yizhibao (益智宝)" and has images of
Interactive
Gosha on its box, possibly implying "Yizhibao" is actually a series
of toys which include
WiWi Tiger and Goshka. However, I can't confirm this.
The toy was sold by and said to have been
developed by Shenzhen Smart Toys Co., Ltd.
It was made to celebrate the year of the tiger (2010).
Appearance
The toy has black stripes and orange fur. It has two plastic
eyes, a large red nose, a pair of black whiskers, a white tummy
area, a striped tail, and a pair of brown fabric eyelids. It has a pair
of white hands and a pair of feet with yellow heels and white toes.
It also has some white fluff on the right and left side of its head.
Functions
I found a few websites which have the same information copied
and pasted on them, like this
one.
WiWi Tiger can recite either one of the following Tang poems when his left hand is pressed:
- Quiet Night Thought
- A Spring Morning
- Ode to the Goose
- Grasses
When WiWi Tiger's right hand is pressed, he will play music. He can play up to 14 musical pieces.
It is implied that WiWi Tiger has the same mech as Gosha. According to the company's profile on
Zhong Shang's website,
the toy is able to move its head while sitting. The toy appears to also have a moving mouth,
unlike most versions of Gosha. The company made a version of Gosha that also appears to have a moving mouth.

Russian Version
I can not confirm if this actually speaks Russian, but its box is
in Russian and has the logo of Gosha's Russian distributor on the box (Mani).
I
do not know why it looks different, either. The tiger is mostly beige, in
contrast
to Smart Toys' tiger.
