Cuddles My Giggly Monkey 2014

Furreal Friends Monkey

 Product Review – Cuddles My Giggly Monkey

The FurReal Friends line of toys by Hasbro is, at heart, an interactive, animatronic toy series. Each member, be they a puppy or pony, has a huge variety of programmed behaviors that respond to specific stimuli. The newest member of the series, however, Cuddles, My Giggly Monkey, raises the bar for animatronics and kids toys, in general.


Let’s take a look at some of the features
Released in the fall of 2013, Cuddles is one of the most technologically advanced toys available. She has been designed to be about the size of an actual baby monkey and has over 100 unique sounds and phrases that have been programmed to fit various stimuli. When a kid rocks Cuddles, she will eventually shut her eyes and fall to sleep (though, if they’ve been playing a lot recently, it will take longer); when swung around, Cuddles will make excited monkey sounds; and when the included bottle is placed to her mouth, she will move her lips and make realistic slurping sounds. Her responses are nearly endless, and kids will find Cuddles to be a constant and lifelike companion!

How Much?
Cuddles’ suggested retail price is $79.99.

Things We Like About Cuddles My Giggly Monkey
How lifelike and realistic she is! The learning potential for kids is nearly unlimited as Cuddles acts with them very similarly to how those same kids act with their own parents, needing attention, feeding, sleep and play time, and more. It’s highly likely children will learn valuable lessons in responsibility and nurturing without even realizing it.
 

Things We Did Not Like About Cuddles My Giggly Monkey

The retail price of $79.99 may be a problem for some parents. Additionally, Cuddles isn’t quiet, by any means, and parents may find the noise output potentially wearisome.

Who Would Buy Cuddles My Giggly Monkey?
Animatronics fans and parents of kids over 4 years old who love monkeys will love Cuddles! Also, parents who wish to teach their kids responsibility and other values will find her a helpful tool to that end. With all the technological advances, expect to see this loveable monkey on the Most Wanted Toys lists of 2013.

Guarantee?
Hasbro has a longstanding history of integrity and quality, and provides a thorough warranty for Cuddles.

Is Cuddles My Giggly Monkey Worth the Money?
While the initial price tag seems relatively high, consumers will be getting one of the most technologically advanced animatronic toys available. With that in mind, as well as the endless hours of entertainment Cuddle’s promises, the price tag seems fair.

Customer Reviews:

Furby comes in so many designs and colors!

Most customers reviewing the Furby Boom found it enchanting with very few negative comments given; Amazon reviewers mirrored these sentiments with an excellent 4.5 out of 5 stars, with most people offering 5 stars and only a few giving less than 3 stars, which is exceptional.
The comments regarding the Furby Boom’s appearance were mainly positive, stating that they were colorful and bright. However, one reviewer did not like the bright colors of these new, updated Furbies.
Another reviewer found the Furby Boom durable and hard-wearing, although one person did comment that the Furby’s fur was easily shed and could cause potential problems for a child that was allergic or sensitive to fur or hair. Most people felt that this latest Furby was an improvement on early models, mainly due to being able to interact with the toy more.

Give your kids a Furby Boom! They will love it.

Reviewers commented that the free Furby Boom app was easy to use and that it provided hours of virtual fun for their children. Only one person mentioned the cost of the Furby Boom, stating that it was expensive for what you got.
