The popular and fun anime TV series “Bakugan Battle Brawlers” has spawned a variety of toys, including a strategic game and Tigrerra, a Bakugan Deluxe Monster. Although not officially part of the game, Tigrerra can be used to add atmosphere and excitement to Bakugan battles. Your child aged four and up can also play with this sturdy, fearsome-looking figurine independent of the game.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Monster can just as easily rear up on two legs as stand on all fours The Bad: No background information about Tigrerra included In a Nutshell: Unique and colorful monster will inspire hours of play At a Glance Ages: 4 and older

The fearsome Tigrerra is ready for any battle. View larger.

On the TV show, Tigrerra is the “guardian” Bakugan for the character Runo, so fans of Runo will take special pleasure in playing with Tigrerra. But even children who don’t watch the show can get excited about the Tigrerra figurine, who can rear up to display her formidable claws or stalk her prey on all fours.

No Rules, Just Fun
No assembly is required for this figurine–just cut it free from the box and it’s ready to go! Unlike the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game, which has somewhat complicated rules, this monster figurine can be used however your child likes. If your child is a fan of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game, he can position Tigrerra and other figurines around the game play area just for fun. If your child doesn’t own the game, he can easily make up his own games to play with the monsters.

Chunky and sturdy, this figurine doesn’t exactly fit in a pocket, but it is still lightweight and easy to take to a friend’s house. Tigrerra comes with a detachable tail.

Hours of Monstrous Entertainment
Tigrerra’s entire body is a “gigantic blade,” and she has four powerful legs that can be positioned in a variety of ways. Her black and yellow markings and the knifelike spines on her back contribute to her terrifying appearance. We really like the way that Tigrerra can stand on all fours or on her two back legs alone. Her legs also stretch easily in opposite directions to make her look as if she’s running at top speed.

We would have liked to see some background information about Dragonoid included on or in the box, but there was none. Kids who are familiar with the TV show will know all about Tigrerra already, but others will have to make up their own stories about him or do some sleuthing on the Bakugan Web site. Luckily, kids have great imaginations, and we think this lighting-fast predator will inspire hours of entertainment–especially when used with other deluxe monster figurines.
