Review on 🐘 WowWee Fingerlings Baby Elephant - An Interactive Experience Like No Other! by Jason Flores

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First User Fingerling

I sent quite a lot of Fingerlings as gifts as they are "must have" toys. I've never opened them up or tried them, and while they're cute, the 40+ noise and special function claims don't seem to live up to Nina the Elephant's claims. Before I get into what it does (a little) and doesn't do, a few tips. It is attached to the packaging with a transparent adhesive tape. around the neck. Little fingers can be untied at the back, but scissors will most likely be needed. I've found that using full size adult scissors is the easiest way to get the toy out of the box. elastic when stretched, otherwise you may scratch the toy. The instruction page is hidden in the blue paper base that Nina sits on. I would never have seen it or even looked it up if I hadn't been desperately trying to make it work by watching YouTube videos. By the way, as of February 2019, there is no information on YouTube about using the fingerling elephant. s I really thought it made you think you were missing something. It's not like this. It's easy to find the switch at the back of your head to turn it on. However, it turns itself off after being idle when it says "Bye", so you have to toggle it on and off to wake it up again. Which brings me to Nina. It is designed to record your voice by holding the sensor in front of your right ear for 2 seconds. This is not my model but it is new so there may be errors that need to be corrected. Like all fingerlings, Nina makes sounds somewhere between a baby's coo, a Japanese cartoon and a cat's purr. He is taller. Like the voice we all involuntarily utter when we see a newborn. It has certain properties, for example it mixes with the soft cry of an elephant when you pet it. You can pet her, clap her, rock her to sleep, hang her upside down. Action brings a variation of the same sound. It's a cooing/purring/cartoonish voice combined with blinking eyes. She'll do the infamous fingerling fart if you put the sensors in front of both ears at the same time. It's a cute gadget and I get the draw. Anime style big black eyes with blinking eyes. A geisha loves to giggle. I see it as a kid's toy or as an adult stress reliever like a weirdo. The fingerling grip only slides on little fingers and the arms and legs don't move, it's hard plastic. The whole toy is heavy as it contains 4 watch size batteries, the body and Nina's voice box. It is also generally quite large for a child's finger. Look at the photo on the child's model page, it is the size of the child's entire arm. The review is more clinical than oh my my kid loves it but this is my first time holding this and a bit shocked that none of the reviews mention the size and weight of this thing. I make kids want what they want and it's nice to see something that gets them out of the digital world. For fifteen bucks, I don't think it hurts. Just feel like the next step will be a robotic dog versus being attached to a real pet. It might be better to sit on a table or bedside table than on a finger, but it's cute.
