About this deal

Torch’s fire-mist is made from a small water tank on his head. This tank holds a very small amount of water, only about 1 – 2 teaspoons at a time. More than that, and water can leak from around the tank’s lid, as well as coming out of Torch’s mouth. While some kids may think it’s cool to have a drooling dragon, as an electronic toy, water really shouldn’t be leaking since that means somewhere a seal isn’t working properly. Some FurReal Friends come with accessories. Biscuit, the FurReal dog, comes with a biscuit treat that you can feed him as a reward. Butterscotch Pony comes with a brush that you can use to groom her. Use the accessories to add another layer of interaction with your FurReal Friend. The furReal Moodwings Baby Dragon toy is wonderfully fantastical -- and full of surprises. At first she’ll wake up a little bit shy, and her eyes will be orange. Just pet her gently on the nose and she’ll warm up to you! Batteries are NOT included. Installing them takes some effort, so consider installing them before the child receives it for the first time. Just to be nice.

This is one of the cutest toys we’ve come across this year. The sounds and movements combine to create some incredibly expressive responses when the dragon’s nose or belly is rubbed. Cuteness aside, what really takes the cake for most users is the “fire” the toy breathes. An ultra-fine mist pouring forth from Torch’s mouth delights everyone, regardless of age. However, once the novelty of that wears off, it may be difficult for Torch to hold children’s attention. A crystal shaped tool is included to fill the water tank on Torch’s head. Tank holds 1 or 2 teaspoons of water. Do not overfill. Doing so may cause water to leak out of Torch’s head or mouth. HER BEAUTIFUL WINGS open and close so gracefully… just look at that lovely shimmer as she unfolds themPet Torch’s nose or press his belly to watch the baby dragon breathe fire! The fire is actually fairly convincing looking. An ultra-fine mist sails past a set of red/orange lights in the dragon’s mouth, lighting up the mist as it goes. The included crystal toy is used to fill Torch’s water tank, and again, only holds a small amount of water. Each round of water can produce around 15 fire-breaths at a time, before needing to be refilled.

A number of users found they preferred some of the other critters in the FurReal Friends series. One popular alternative was Star Lily the Unicorn. We have not yet fully reviewed the unicorn, but this toy was mentioned numerous times as a better toy than the dragon. Torch comes with a marshmallow toy, because that’s apparently what baby dragons are into. The marshmallow toy changes color when it gets wet, so hold it in the mist to watch it change into a nicely roasted brown color. FURREAL MOODWINGS BABY DRAGON TOY HAS MANY MOODS Wake her up to discover her adorable personality and find out what mood she’s in. She could be anything from sleepy to cranky, hungry to happy The toy seems to have more appeal for younger children. Due to mechanical parts, we highly recommend adult supervision to ensure younger children are not too rough with it. Additionally, the water needs to be refilled, the tank needs to be removed and dried during extended times of non-use, and the filters need to be changed periodically. This care will need to be administered by an adult or older child. Manufacturer's DescriptionSURPRISE ACCESSORIES Unbox to discover which bottle, pacifier, and toy you have to care for your dragon The toy is covered in soft fabric, but the body is hard plastic. Moving parts, such as the ears, shouldn’t be patted or pulled on too roughly, which may also be hard to explain to young toddlers. Her color-change eyes and tummy reveal many moods – when she’s sleepy, her eyes are blue; when they turn green, you know it’s time for a feeding (don’t forget to burp her!). Red eyes? Someone’s feeling a bit cranky! Yellow eyes indicate happiness (and when she’s happy and excited? Well, you’ll have to see it for yourself!).

Box includes Torch, crystal water vial, color-changing marshmallow, two extra reusable water filters, and instructions. Even though the ears, eyes, and head are the only parts that move, the movements created are very expressive and extremely cute.As mentioned at the beginning of the review, Torch seems to appeal more to younger kids. Many users complained that after the novelty of the fire-mist wore off, the cute noises just weren’t enough to hold the interest of kids 7 and older for very long. We are a little concerned about this, because while kids around 4 and 5 really love playing with Torch, they are very disappointed when they are told they can’t move him around too much because of the water tank. Toddlers and very young children also tend to want to cuddle with him, and are a little surprised that he isn’t plush or squeezable.
