Covering up his eyes to play peek-a-boo (saying, "peek-a-boo!" into his microphone will make him uncover his eyes and respond with a "peek-a-boo!" of his own) FurReal Cubby the Curious Bear is a curious, expressive bear cub who loves to play with you during the day. He loves to play peek-a-boo, and even dance! AMAZINGLY INTERACTIVE AND LIFELIKE: This delightfully curious, expressive bear cub loves to play with you during the day. In nighttime mode, he makes sleepy sounds and plays soft music. He’s a day-to-night best friend!

My eldest, like most kids is always hot on the top toys of the year and this year was no exception. She adores toys that are interactive and almost alive; toys that she can both play and interact with. This year getting the chance to do this FurReal Cubby the Curious Bear Review by Hasbrowas amazing for her. She had seen Cubby Bear on YouTube and after we have reviewed some other interactive toys over the last 2 years, such as the Hatchimals Hatchibabiesand Hatchimals WOW, Luvabella doll and Owleez, I knew I wanted to try and get one of these fabulous toys for her too.Cubby, the Curious Bear is voiced by Thomas Hagena, an actor who lent his voice to various television commercials for companies such as - to name a few - Pizza Hut, Wal-Mart, Toyota and L.A. Fitness; he has also played voice roles in video games such as NBA 2K21 and Brawl Stars. His LinkedIn account describes him as "your millennial best friend [that] moved in next door." https://www.lennoxnews.com/single-post/2019/11/20/lennox-native-makes-way-as-voice-over-actor-in-la

Cubby isn’t too heavy which is great. You often think these interactive toys will be but children can easily move him around, without the worry of dropping him. Although we couldn’t test this at night we could have a go. Cubby closed his eyes and started one of the three-5 minute sequences available. He makes some very cute sleepy sounds and plays soft music or forest sounds. Perfect for helping your little one fall asleep. His left paw is the only activation point that works and you can press this and change the sequence. I liked the day and night modes, which mean children can take him to bed and he may actually be a sleep aid for those children who like music or white noise.Cubby seems to share numerous qualities with previously released toys in the FurReal line; namely the Luv Cubs, released in 2005, which featured moving arms that allow them to give their owners a "bear hug", as well as a twitching muzzle and ears. These toys also similarly played "peek-a-boo" when prompted, only instead of being voice activated the owner activates the foot sensor on the Luv Cub. However, he LOVED Cubby and just look at his face! I have a feeling there may be a few little arguments this Christmas morning. Able to make different playful noises and move its head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth and arms, Cubby is a joyful friend who plays peek-a-boo and even helps children off to sleep with soft music.

One month after Cubby was released to stores, a variation was released as Plum, the Curious Panda Cub. Plum has exactly the same features as Cubby, but the fur is designed to look like that of a panda instead of a grizzly bear. The eyes were changed from green with brown eyelids to purple with purple eyelids, both of which accented with glitter, and a tail which resembles that of a real panda bear. This pet also did not come with the same feeding accessory; instead, Plum comes with a "bamboo bottle" and a separate brush. These are separate accessories that do not combine. The Cubby the Curious Bear Instructions are easy to follow. The come in picture form and I had no issues. Target Australia Pty Ltd is part of the Wesfarmers Ltd group and has no affiliation with Target Corporation US This night-time mode is featured on various modern FurReal toys including Dazzlin' Dimples, My Playful Dolphin toy, Sweet Jammiecorns Lamb and Unicorn toys, and Cinnamon, My Stylin' Pony toy. Curiously, Cubby is the only FurReal pet of recent memory to have an official birthday. According to the included pet-care guide, Cubby was "born" on November 7 - which happens to also be National Hug A Bear Day. Clever.I think as FurReal Cubby the Curious Bear is a teddy bear, he has the extra-cute factor, so I could see why she would want one as her main Christmas present this year. All kids love feeding their toys and FurReal Cubby the Curious Bear is no exception to being able to do this. You can feed him with a bottle (don’t fill this up with water though!) or his treat. You just have to push it into his mouth a little to get him to start making eating sounds. He does sound like he enjoys these! RESPONDS WITH 100+ SOUND-AND-MOTION COMBINATIONS: He can move his head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, & arms, and makes lots of fun sounds.
