Product description

Each Sing-a-ma-jig is battery-powered, with two AAA batteries already included. They are soft, plush dolls with terrycloth mouths, and measure about 12 inches in length.

The dolls make a variety of different noises when squeezed. Each "squeeze" causes the Sing-a-ma-jig to open its mouth to emit noise. The doll's mouth contains a set of plastic teeth that click together when closing. A Sing-a-ma-jig's noises include songs, "jibber-jabber" made up of vowel sounds, different notes on the octave scale, a greeting, and a goodbye. They each sing a different public-domain song unique to their model. The voice that each one has is unique to its model as well. When paired together or in groups, the dolls automatically harmonize with each other.

Sing-a-ma-jigs were popularized by John Green in his video "Making Adorable Music" which was uploaded to YouTube on October 22, 2010.

Types

Basic

As of late 2009, there are 29 "basic" leap frog Sing-a-ma-jig models: Italicised colors are the ones that have the "Voice Wiggle Effect", although the Aqua and Rose ones were later released as standard versions without that effect. The New Yellow Sing-a-ma-jig is the only one that did not sing the same song in the US and Japanese markets.

In late November 2010, the first holiday-themed Sing-a-ma-jig was introduced for Christmas. "Santa" is a dark green doll with a white beard, and a red-and-white Santa Claus jacket and cap. He sings "Jingle Bells".

The second holiday-themed doll was released in February 2011 in time for Valentine's Day. This doll is red with a pink shirt featuring red hearts.

In March 2011, the third holiday-themed doll was released for Easter. This Sing-a-ma-jig is a white Easter rabbit with more detailed bunny ears.

She has a baritone vocal range.

A 4th of July themed doll was released in time for the holiday in 2011, was Red, White, and Blue, and sang "The Star-Spangled Banner". Instead of "Hello!" or "How do you do?", he signs on by saying "Happy Independence Day!" He has a tenor vocal range.

Four Halloween themed dolls were released in October 2011. These Sing-a-ma-jigs included a pumpkin, a ghost, a skeleton, and a witch. All of them sing Trick or Treat and the ghost, skeleton and witch were Target exclusives, whereas the pumpkin was not exclusive. For the way they sign off, the pumpkin and ghost sign off by saying "Happy Halloween!", the skeleton says "Scare You Later' and the Witch says "See You Later". Also, for the way they sign on, the pumpkin and ghost say "Trick or Treat" and the skeleton and witch say "Happy Halloween".
