Ming-Ming is plush and stands just over a foot tall. Just press Ming-Ming's left webbed foot and watch her (I'm deciding she's a she) answer the tin-can phone and fly off to rescue other pets, including mice, puppies, pigs, and monkeys. She makes announcements, in her high-pitched, lisping voice, such as "This is serious!" and "We still got it!" Then flies around in a circle, cape flapping, and sings the "Wonder Pets" song. Warning: It will be stuck in your head forever.

As you can see in the videos, Ming-Ming talks, but her beak doesn't move. Like similar life-simulating toys, she has loud motors that tend to take away from the experience a bit. Another pro/con is that Ming-Ming stops moving altogether when you touch her or pick her up, although she does continue to sing. This is to keep your hair from getting entangled, so it's a safety feature, but I could see it frustrating young kids (and adults) who might think it's broken.

Ming-Ming, recommended for kids 18 months and older, has a list price of $38.
