FurReal Roarin’ Tyler, the Playful Tiger

Easter traditions have changed a lot since I was a kid. Coloring hard-boiled eggs and receiving a big-bowed Easter basket full of chocolate eggs and a pastel-colored stuffed bunny was the sum of the holiday. Some neighborhoods had Easter egg hunts as well. Today, Easter trends go far beyond the simplicity of a few chocolate treats and a stuffie.

Sorting through a plethora of confections and chocolatey treats each Easter is natural, but giving toys during this holiday is a fairly new concept. Apparently, Easter is the second busiest time of year for toy sales! Who knew! While many of us are still stuck in our old-school ways, the fact is, trends and traditions are changing with each generation. And going with the flow, a new Easter tradition is to give endearing toys. With that in mind, Hasbro is always my first stop when looking for playthings. They offer a wide variety of high-quality toys and games for kids of all ages.

FurReal Roarin’ Tyler, the Playful Tiger

This Easter, bring on the fun with the FurReal Roarin’ Tyler, the Playful Tiger. This is one toy that I wished I had when I was a kid, it’s so adorable and fun to play with.

Tyler, the Playful Tiger is the newest addition to the FurReal line. He’s an exotic baby tiger that’s eager to play, explore and interact with you. Tyler is approximately the size of a real tiger cub, so kids can envision they are holding one. His packaging has a jungle-inspired background and he comes with his own toy rubber chicken that fits in his mouth purr-fectly. You’ll need 4 C batteries (not included) to active Tyler.

The FurReal Roarin’ Tyler is an attractive little guy with big green eyes, a sweet face with an endearing countenance that will just melt your heart. His markings are beautiful and his fur is soft and plush. You can’t help but pet and cuddle him. Roar at Tyler and he responds right back with a big roar. Talk to you him and he answers back with cute baby animals noises. Squeeze his toy chicken and he responds. Put the squeaky toy chicken in his mouth and he’ll gnaw on it playfully.

With 100+ sounds and motion combinations, this little guy will keep kids entertained for hours on hours. Tyler has several sensor spots on his body and when they are petted, it triggers a super cute reaction from one of the many adorable sounds and/or motion combos. Depending on which sensor you stroke on Tyler, be it is back, head or muzzle, he’ll react and respond playfully.

He has poseable legs so he can be carried and hugged. He can also crouch and roar, move his eyes, move his ears, wiggle his tail, turn his head, sneeze, pounce, purr, nuzzle, and has many more surprises. The FurReal Roarin’ Tyler, the Playful Tiger is the purr-fect playmate for children ages 4+.

The FurReal Roarin’ Tyler is a more expensive toy at $130, but the price has come down quite a bit since Christmas. Right now, Amazon.ca has him for $74, and that’s an excellent price. You get a lot of value with this cuddly tiger.
