What are Fingerlings and What Do They Do?

Fingerlings Monkey

FingerlingsTM Baby Monkeys love hanging onto your finger and know when theyre being touched, talked to, and even hung upside down! These perfect primate pets come to life with over 50 animations to let you know how they feel. Youll fall in love with these sweet and sometimes silly critters with their realistic monkey sounds, adorable blinking eyes and head turns, plus hands that grip and a curly hanging tail. You can swing them, pet them, hug and kiss them, plus rock them to sleep!

– Product Description from Toys R US –

There are several different kinds of Fingerlings.  The monkeys come in a variety of different colors like pink, white, blue, brown etc.  There’s even a Unicorn Fingerling that’s sure to be a huge hit because of its uniqueness compared to the other, Monkey, versions.

How Much Do Fingerlings Cost?

Surprisingly, Fingerlings are actually pretty affordable.  Each one cost about $20, which is a lot cheaper than the $80 that the Hachimals cost.   The problem with Fingerlings is that due to their limited availability, some people are reselling them at much higher prices.

Where Can I Buy Fingerlings?

Toys R Us and Walmart carry them, but good luck getting them there!  The only way you’ll find them is if you have the good fortune of being there as a new pallet of Fingerlings arrives.  A better way would be purchasing them through Amazon, check out their Best Sellers Here.  These toys will only be harder and harder to find as we get closer to Christmas.  I’m actually surprised at how hard they were to find back in October.
