Whether you have a son or a daughter, if they like dragons, they're bound to be won over by the Untamed Dragons and Untamed Mad Lab Minis toys that we've been reviewing this week.
The Untamed Dragon is a funky new addition to the Fingerlings range, which already includes everything from monkeys and elephants to narwhals and unicorns. There are a whole range of dragons available, including the blue one with red wings called Shockwave that we received. He sits comfortably on a child's (or even a grown-up's) hand and will gaily blink, move his head and growl at you.
They come with 4 x LR44 batteries already inserted. You just have to flick the on-off switch on the back of his head and you're good to go. Each one is equipped with a uniquely coloured LED light in their jaws. If you make them mad, it will flicker to life and burn bright, or you can tame them and they’ll lose their angry glow. Each of the dragons has its own way of expressing its affection (or anger !). Will yours breathe fire or spit poison? You'll need to collect them all to hear the differences in how they sound when they’re cute and cuddly… or roaring mad!
There are numerous ways to play with them and make them react. You can tap their nose or head or just pet them, which will result in warning calls, hisses, growls and roars. Shake them to get them really riled or press and hold the back of their heads for a full-on roar attack. Calm them into tamed mode by petting: start at the tip of the nose and finish at the back of the head. If they need a rest, lay them down in your hands for a quick dragon snooze. If you want a giggle, press and hold both sensors on their head to hear a dragon fart - hysterical laughter guaranteed !
The sand can be squished together and holds its shape in a ball which can then be moulded with your fingers.
Pierre was very intrigued by the Untamed Mad Lab Minis that he also received to review. The first one that he opened was full of green Biosand, hiding this cheeky dinosaur figure.

The second Mad Lab Mini instantly provoked a cry of "ewwwww !" when Pierre opened it. This one didn't contain sand - it was full of slime, or Geoslime, to be precise.
This gooey, gloopy slime is actually surprisingly easy to remove from the two pieces of dinosaur hiding inside - Pierre didn't even need to wash his hands. You just push the neck into the hole to attach the head. You can even swap over the heads to hybridize your creatures. The slime can be squished together and pushed back inside the pot until next time you want to play with it.
Each Fingerlings Untamed Dragon has an RRP of £14.99 and the Untamed Mad Lab Minis are available for £4.99.
Disclosure : We received the products in order to write an honest review.
They look like lots of fun, my girls would love them, my 6 year old loves slime and my 2 year old daughter is obsessed with dragons and dinosaurs at the moment although she calls them all dragons lol xx
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderfully creepy that the dragon can blink. Who doesn't like dragons?!
