Everything You NEED To Know About Untamed Raptor (Fingerlings)
These have just arrived in the UK and the range includes 4 different characters: Stealth, Blaze, Fury and Razor each a different colour and personality.
These have hit the shelves in the UK, Canada and Australia and US so far only.
They are lifelike creatures that are fierce and unpredictable.
Friend or foe – that’s up to YOU.
The raptors are the newest phenomenon in interactive robotic toys.
These fun interactive creatures react to touch, motion, and sound with over 40 different sounds and Animations.
You can unleash their ferocious side with a shake or poke and they’ll roar, hiss, and chomp.
Alternatively, tame your beasts by petting their noses, and they’ll hum, coo, and purr.
They also Fart!!!! (I know you weren’t expecting that lol) Which automatically means that kids are guaranteed to love them.
The RRP for these is £16.99 and I found them available at that price from Argos and Smyths and for £17 at The Entertainer.
What We Thought
We loved that these are so colourful and lifelike. They’re small which makes them cute too!
My son was overly excited when his new friend started moving its head, eyes and mouth and made different noises. He was then off playing in his own little world with his new best buddy Blaze fighting other dinosaurs that attacked them on their adventures and roaring at each other.
Little man loved his dinosaur so much he took him EVERYWHERE and I mean everywhere. I had to pry it from his hands to give my little one a bath.
The toy is easy to turn on and off, simply flick the switch on the back of his head and as you can see in the video below this is easy even for children to do. The easy on / off button was handy when Blaze ended up being cuddled in bed by my son.
The farting noise was the cherry on the cake – my little ones all found it hilarious.

Disclaimer: I was sent an UNTAMED Raptor for an honest unbiased review. But seriously who wouldn’t love one of these!
Love that Fingerlings come in different styles to cater for all children now x
It’s great isn’t it. My girls want one now lol.
How awesome are they! What a great idea for a toy it looks like they are so well made as well!
It is quite solid which is perfect for my son who is quite heavy handed at times.
Oh this is exactly what I need for Harry’s birthday in 2 weeks! He has asked for a dinosaur he can play with – perfect!!!
This is ideal as it makes noises and moves. We love it!
What an adorable toy! I’m a little sad that my kids are now a little bit too old for toys like this – they’re all gadgets and stuff now. I kind of miss being surrounded in dinosaurs!
That’s such a shame I am sure had these come out when they were younger they would have loved them.
my youngest two love their fingerlings, so I know that my boy would love this one even more as he is a big dinosaur fan
It sounds like the perfect gift for him.
My son has asked for these for his birthday but he will be disappointed as he is not getting them. He got a sloth and monkey fingerling for christmas but he barely plays with them. which is a shame because I like the raptors more than the monkeys.
It’s a shame the dinosaurs didn’t come out sooner. If he’d had that first he wouldn’t put it down.
My son is nearly 5 and I haven’t seen these until now. My son also loves dinosaurs so he’d probably love this too 🙂
These have just come out so I am guessing they will be spreading to various stores fast. They are guaranteed to be popular.
Those are pretty neat! I think it’s awesome to be able to get these for the kids! It’s so nice to get them interested in dinosaurs and all that. They’re not just going to have fun, but learn as well.
My son is in the process of learning how to pronounce various dinosaur names. It is a great way to encourage learning and have fun.
These little raptors look so cool! I’m sure that my two little nephews would love them as the 4 year old currently loves everything to do with dinosaurs. I think he’d like them all, especially Stealth!
They are super cool we totally agree. I am sure he would love them all.
Those look a lot of fun but I query whether the age range goes up to 12 – unless they do them with bullets and lipgloss for my two.
depends on the child to be honest. I’m slightly older 12 *cough cough* and I love playing with it.
This is such a cute toy, especially that is so animated and makes over 40 sounds. No wonder your son fell in love with it straight away. I find the farting noise quite funny, I can imagine your and your son’s surprise when you’ve heard it for the first time.
He loved it. It was great to see his reaction.
Aww!! He is so adorable in this photo. and that raptors looks really cute my niece would love this for sure.
It is a lovely toy for boys and girls. My daughters both want one too!
Haha! I can’t get over the farting noise. Kids will really love these.
I know!!!! Kids love it don’t they and I must admit it is funny seeing their reaction x
Its my little guys birthday in a few weeks and he would love this. He is bird/dino mad and this fits the bill well 🙂 x
Sounds like this would be perfect for him. Mine is the same and he loves it!
My son loves dinosaurs. How much fun does Blaze look. Love the pictures.
Thanks Sammy for your comment. If your son loves dinosaurs he is sure to want one of these.
I never heard of these toys before, it looks quite cool for little ones! He seemed very satisfied with his toy 🙂
He sure is it’s fantastic. He is dinosaur obsessed.
What a lovely toy. I wish they made them like this when I was younger.
They’re fantastic aren’t they. Little man loves Blaze soooo much!
My dinosaur obsessed nephew would absolutely love this.
He sure would, the’re great!
My mum bought my 10 year old cousin a unicorn one, they’re so cute (I have no idea what you do with them) but she seems to really enjoy it.
They are super fun and it sounds like you got her the right one. My girls would love a unicorn fingerling.
My son wants one of these after seing one at a friend’s house. They look like fun.
They are lovely toys for little ones. Mine loves the noises it makes.
They are lovely toys. We love the noises it makes.
What a cute dinosaur. My son and daughter would love to have Blaze.
I’m not surprised he is fantastic. He makes loads of sounds which my son loves and he also moves.
Great toys. What a love idea. I’ve seen the other fingerlings but not these.
These are their newest ones. They are great!
My nephew would adore this! He’s into anything dino and that fits the bill perfectly!
