WowWee launched the MINTiD Dog-E at CES 2023 to reimagine robot dog toys with truly unique personalities, appearances and ways of interacting with their human companions. For kids and kidults alike, this robot toy delights by being unique to every owner. Thanks to a "minting process," users awaken colors and characteristics by petting the robot dog's head, playing with it and interacting with it in many other ways.
Thanks to a companion app, multiple members of a household can save their own unique profiles for a single Dog-E. Some Dog-E pets will enjoy resting more than others, some will be shy, while others will be playful, feisty or constantly hungry.
When pre-ordering, customers can get a bonus accessory pack with collars for their Dog-E.
