Hasbro furReal Roarin’ Tyler, the Playful Tiger

(Hasbro $129.99)

Wait until you take Tyler, the tiger cub, out of the box and touch his silky tiger’s fur. Like so many furReal animals, Tyler is an animatronic pet that responds to sound and touch. Unlike most tigers, he is anything but scary. When kids roar at him he roars back while he bows. He responds when kids give him the little yellow bird toy he arrives with in the package. Tyler comes to life as he can move his back legs, eyes, ears, head, mouth and tail. He’s been programmed to respond with over 100 sound and motion combinations that make him totally interactive but still friendly and quite huggable. A good choice for older preschoolers and young early school age kids. Takes 4 C batteries, which are included. Marked 4 & up.

Ages: Preschoolers, Early School Years
