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 R2-D2
Sphero R2-D2 was the official app-controlled R2-D2 droid toy — faithfully replicating R2-D2's tri-pod locomotion, sound effects, and personality through Sphero's app. It could waddle, spin its dome head, play authentic Star Wars audio, and project a holographic Princess Leia image. Launched alongside the Star Wars Saga 40th anniversary. Now discontinued as new retail but available on secondary markets. Sphero's most technically impressive Star Wars product — more physically complex than BB-8 given the tri-pod leg mechanism.
