## Verdict

Miko Mini is a cheaper, smaller take on Miko 3 that talks, tells stories and rolls around a desk or floor. It suits young kids who mostly want a voice buddy with parental controls. Skip it if you want long play sessions, other languages or two way video, since it lasts about an hour of active play and is English only.
