D-REX Interactive Dinosaur
From Mattel
Customer Reviews
Over-hyped and over-priced
This toy isn't much better than most of the remote controlled toys you see out there. However, Mattell is putting a HUGE amount of advertising and hype into it for Christmas. I hate that toy companies sucker parents into buying a 2 hour thrill for their media-driven and gullible children. Save your money--ignore the commercials and go check it out first.
Awesome!
We bought D-REX as a birthday present for our 8-year old son and he can't stop playing with it. He wanted "Spike" from Fisher Price until seeing D-Rex on TV. The first time we put batteries in and flipped the switch, it was like being in Jurassic Park. The thing is scarily alive AND really funny. Gave me (a man in his 30s) a big happy chill up the spine. Overall, one of the best toys we've ever bought him. Very durable and realistic. Highly-recommended.
DRex for my Twins
I got this for my twins and they love their DRex. My daughter and son plays hide and seek with it. They both love to pet D Rex and watch him react to it (waging his tail, making some happy noise & moving his eye brows). I do just let DRex do his thing around the kids. But I use the controller when I'm playing with my kids with DRex. I've even shot videos of them playing with their DRex. I'll post them on Youtube. Over all, I'm pretty happy to have gotten this for my twins.
Product Description
D-Rex Interactive Pet Dino is the ultimate pet.

He'll walk, chomp, bare his teeth and roar to let you know what he wants. D-Rex might demand food or want to play a game, and he'll hear your voice and respond to your touch. Like the ideal pet, D-Rex will protect your stuff and attack on command. Requires four "C" batteries, included, and two "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 22"L x 8.75"W x 13.28"H.
