Takara Toys just released a series of incredibly cute toy robots called Walkie Bits. According to the information in the press and on their website (I haven’t been able to find Walkie Bits in the store yet), the robots dance, remember sequences of moves you tap on their shells, and have interchangeable parts so you can mix and match colors.
Walkie Bits - Takara Toys (Japanese)
They've got them in Hong Kong!

There is a summary of the instructions for Walkie bits in the original Walkie bits press release (June 30, 2005) at this link. (Also other press releases for other recent interesting Takara products not yet available much outside of Japan.)
