D-REX Interactive Dinosaur

I bought this for my husband for Christmas Age 55 He loved it. D-Rex was the life of the New Years gathering. He doesn't walk around as much as I thought, but has great facial expressions. Alot of fun with the cat.

I hesitated after reading through many reviews before finally deciding to buy this for my 8 yro son. It was his main Christmas request/gift & I really didn't want to have a large investment in a dud toy. My first surprise was the size. You just can't grip the dimensions until you view it first hand -- awesome! He's fun, funny & quite mischievious! Everyone in the house (2 adults & 5 children ages 12-7) loved this dino, well, with the exception of our german shepard who couldn't quite figure out if it was friend or foe LOL.

The texture & coloring of the "skin" are very lifelike as are the eye movements. The growls & laughs have everyone else rolling :-) My husband appeared to have shaved quite a number of years off & got down on the floor to play right along.

Recommend?: The only exception would be taking care to make certain the recipient is not the hmmmm distructive type. The dino seems sturdy enough but I'm not sure what would happen if it were handled or carried by it's head or tail. Overall I would certainly recommend this toy to anyone who is cosidering it.

Educational?: hmmmm LOL well, if you consider learning how to do a playful "prank" on someone educational LOL. I would personally count this as a total all out fun toy.

Have fun hehehehehehe - you just have to hear him laugh for yourself!! :-)

Fun toy, however it is burned battery power. I strong recomend to use rechargeable batteries(5×Csize).

This is dinosaur is so realistic! The skin itself is sort of squishy and slimely. When you turn it on the way the eyes move, and the forehead wrinkles you really think it is real! The best toy my son (6) says he received this Christmas.

We bought this for our 8 yr old for Christmas. It was fun for the first day or so. The facial expressions are priceless and it is durable and well made. Unfortunately it's abilities to entertain are limited, and once the novelty wore off, it didn't seem worth the price tag. I don't regret the purchase as it was my son's 'big gift' and he is very happy with it, my only regret is that it doesn't do more for what it cost.
