WowWee Fingerlings Light-Up Baby Black Panther and Mini

My daughter thought this toy was cute but lost interest same day.

My 11 year old absolutely adores her fingerling toy. She specifically stated that she loved that the hair lights up and was concerned with whether it will be rechargeable. It is NOT rechargeable BUT it does take batteries and they are replaceable. It also came with a cute mini lion that can be used as a pencil topper or in play with the larger lion.

I have a children of both genders aged 4 through 12 and they all love Fingerlings. Our current collection consists of monkeys and dinosaurs , a sloth, a dragon and a panda along with play sets for them to live on. The addition of the cat line is brilliant and a huge hit, especially with my 11 year old. These cats are puuuurrrrfectly adorable in my daughters eyes. Where I tend to see the black and white half closed eyes as a drunk skunk, she sees her darling cat with the coy eyelids adding to the cuteness factor. To each his or her own. In general these toys are well constructed -- we have played with our existing ones for almost two years, at least weekly (at one point they served as our table centerpiece) with no breakage or dead batteries. I have no reason to believe this would last any less. The hair does light up different colors, meaning it reminds me less of a skunk when it is actually on an being used. I do find the little kitten cuter although it gets less play time due to not being electronically interactive in any way. There are some minor differences in design when compared to the more common monkeys. When you turn it on (switch is located at the back of the head) it always greets you with a purrry hello. I actually find the babbling chatter and kisses more intelligible than the other Fingerlings. The tail features the same curve which allows you to hang as the monkeys do, but it is shorter and less flexible so it is a little more limiting in that regard. At the same time, the shorter tail allows her to sit without assistance on flat surfaces. Her paws are a different structure so they are perfect for her to hang on things (like the rim of a cup or bowl) but dont stop her from perching on the childs finger as her predecessors can. One plus is that the glitter does not appear to shed. A prior Fingerling (ahem Im talking to YOU unicorn!) shed glitter everywhere and was short lived in my house. A definite plus. All in all, we are an easy sell as my kids love Fingerlings and play with them like other kids play with Barbies. But I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this or purchase it for my nieces myself.

Nice toy

My girls Love the light up!

These are bigger than I first thought but are so fun for not just my little guy but me too lol. He just gets so delighted by them!

When the fingerling arrived I had my two year old open the package. When she seen what I am assuming is a cheetah she became super excited. She handed me the box for opening which was super easy not one of those need to break out a hack saw to get into. There is one plastic thing around the neck that if you turn it over just clip it with a pair of scissors and it’s done. The little friend it come with just popped right out with a push with a thumb from the backside. Once I got it out she went “so cute mommy”. Right off the back I notice this is different from the fingerlings my niece has. This one hair lights up and she’s glittery I mean come on who doesn’t like things with glitter on them. Best of all as of now this glitter has yet to start flaking off all over her or the house. My daughter has been playing with it for about two hours give take. She’s threw it off the top of her princess castle stuffed it in a shopkins and little people’s bus put it down her puppy dog pals tree house slide and had it play with her woody and princess Sofia plush dolls. Now she’s sitting in her Winnie the Pooh chair with it next to her looking at a barnyard animals book. As of now huge A+. Highly recommend to people who’s little girls like finglerlings they are going to extremely pleased with this one. Update: After a couple days of playtime Ive notice flakes of glitter on her hands and the floor but its not a huge amount of glitter loss maybe 20 or so flakes. There is still a ton of glitter on the Fingerling so I would still recommend this to anyone who has a little girl that likes the Fingerlings.

My eight year old granddaughter is a fan of this small toy line called fingerlings. I got the tiger for her. It was not her first of these toys but it is her favorite. She loves the light on its head and the kisses the tiger shares. She also likes how interactive this toy is and the fact that it is the envy of all her friends and cousins. The small tiger is cute but has no interactive capabilities. I admit that I dont really get the appeal of these toys, but kids certainly do!

As an adult- I havent really figured out why kids love fingerlings so much, but my daughter sure seems to. It is REALLY cute and would make a great gift. Its glittery on the legs, arms and tail, and the hair glows different colors. This one actually comes with a little bonus baby panther. I cant see that the baby does anything- it doesnt seem to interact with the fingerling in any way, but my daughter liked it. (For reference, shes 6). I will say this fingerling seems to have less sensors on it than past ones. Stroking or cupping its head, blowing in its face, and clapping or snapping doesnt seem to do much. I was able to get reactions by rocking it (it looked like it took a nap), swinging it back and forth still makes it laugh. I also didnt find any instructions in mine, so maybe it has new interactions we havent discovered yet.
