The selecting means performs the processing relating to the selection when the receiving means receives the activation signal, and the voice output means converts the selected voice data of the first half conversation voice data and the second half conversation voice data into the conversation voice. To do. In this way, the conversation toy receives the activation signal by infrared rays from the outside, so that the first half conversation voice data and the first half conversation are selected from a plurality of types of first half conversation voice data and a plurality of types of second half conversation voice data, respectively. Since the conversation voice data is randomly selected and output, it is possible to have an unexpected and highly entertaining conversation instead of a predetermined one-way conversation. Further, since the operation means operates the movable part when outputting the conversation voice, the interest is further improved. For example, the body parts of a pair of conversation toys are made to face each other in advance, and only the face part which is a movable part is directed in different directions, and the face part is directed toward the partner's conversation toy when outputting the conversation voice. When it is set to output by voice, it is possible to express the state as if the conversation toy were talking to the other party. In addition, when the arms and legs are movably provided as movable parts and the arms and legs are operated when outputting the conversation voice, the conversation toy can output the conversation voice toward the other party. This has an effect that it is possible to display an intention, and it is possible to realize a conversational toy in which voices and movements are combined to make a love. Furthermore, after the conversation voice is output from one of the conversation toys, an infrared activation signal is sent to the other conversation toy to activate the other conversation toy, so that it is as if the conversation toy is talking to the other party. The present invention has an effect that a plurality of conversation toys can be alternately talked with each other while expressing a state of intention when outputting a state or voice.
