Hasbro FurReal Roarin Tyler Tiger
Hasbro FurReal Roarin Tyler Tiger is an animatronic interactive tiger toy — a large realistic-looking robotic tiger that responds to touch and sound with over 100 sound and motion combinations including roaring, stretching, yawning, and playful swatting. It reacts when petted, played with, or spoken to. At 18 inches long it is a large, impressive physical toy with premium animatronic movement quality from Hasbro's FurReal Friends line. Consistently one of the top-reviewed animatronic animal toys on Amazon — a perennial holiday best-seller for ages 4+ wanting an interactive 'pet' experience without the real-animal commitment.
Sphero BB-8
Sphero BB-8 was the official app-enabled droid toy based on the Star Wars: The Force Awakens character — a two-part rolling ball robot that mimics BB-8's signature rolling locomotion with a magnetically-hovering head. Controlled via the Star Wars-licensed BB-8 app, it responded to voice commands, displayed holographic videos, played Star Wars sounds, and could be patrolled autonomously. One of the best-selling licensed robot toys of all time, selling millions of units. Now discontinued as a new retail product, though secondary market units are widely available. Included as a historically significant entertainment robot and for secondary market search completeness.
