WowWee Fingerlings Light-Up Baby Black Panther and Mini

Grandgirls loved them.

So freaking adorable. And a mini cub comes with it! These are super cute toys with great design detail and fun playful features. She purrs, she lights up and she has a cub! What a hit!

Cute

My house isn’t very kid friendly, we just haven’t had any younger kids for a while now so I don’t have many things for them to do if someone comes over with kids. It seems I have a few friends with kids in the 2-10 age range now. I thought it would be great to have on hand for if we have company so I don’t just have Netflix to entertain them. The first test was a 5-year-old. She was so excited to open up the package to play with the fingerling as she has a few at home. But this was and I quote “it is so cute, I love it” and she actually *squeed* about the baby that came with it. The best parts for her were the light up hair and the glitter. Apparently little girls LOVE glitter, the sparklier the better. She played with it pretty non stop while they were at my house for about 3-4 hours. So you’d think that the hair that changes colors when they move the toy in different ways or the sounds it makes for kisses and such would be the thing that kids would like the most and she did like them but the feature she liked the most was the tiny baby tiger. After a little while the larger Tiger was abandoned just to play with the smaller cub that didn’t have any special features. Kids… I like that these are small enough I can have a few on hand for the kids the end up at my house. For the 2-8 range they seem to work well for both boys and girls in a pinch but I think they are more geared towards girls and I can’t see an older boy being excited about them. The 5-year old’s little brother is 3 and he had a great time with Sam and Leo, the Baby Lion and Mini. Since each does something a little different, they are super collectable and fun for hours.

The little folks I gave this to loved it!

Super cute

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.

I ordered this as a gift for my three-year-old niece. It was an absolute hit... for about three days. She had a wonderful time playing with the panther fingerling, rocking it as she put Allec to sleep, pressing the toy to her cheek to give kisses, and turning it upside down to hear it giggle. Once I showed her how to use it, she had fun learning all of the tricks and it really is cute. The baby that came with it was like a little mini-me, even though I had a bit of a struggle to get it to attach to the adult panthers tale like it showed on the packaging. Its a nice toy, though once you learn all of the tricks, it loses a little appeal. Perhaps for an older child -- where she can put it on a backpack or a pencil or something and play with it that way.

Good to have a toddler entertained lol

Both my granddaughters (3,7) have several fingerlings and were excited when this one arrived. They loved the addition of the baby cub that can be attached to the larger one. It’s very cute and fun to play with but I don’t think it sees as much use as some of their other toys like LOL’s and barbies. A fun gift for someone that doesn’t have one.
