Mattel D Rex Interactive Dinosaur

No longer are dinosaurs only found in museums or the movies - these days there is a very good chance that you'll find one in your very own home! Dinosaur toys are hot! They're also a lot of fun and they give children the chance to let their imaginations run wild! Considering how many museums have dinosaur fossils as the center piece to their collections, and how many dinosaur cartoons, movies and books there are about dinosaurs, it was only a matter of time before realistic dinosaur toys would be created and available for children everywhere to play with. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is an amazing piece of technology, but more than that - it's an incredibly advanced toy that will give your child many hours of fun and entertainment.

With a fierce facial expression and motorized robotic legs that actually enable D-Rex to walk, this isn't simply a stuffed dinosaur toy that sits still on a bed or couch. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is state of the art, advanced fun. In fact, some critics and initial users have said that the D-Rex is actually the "ultimate pet" - and they aren't too far from the truth! However, different from many electronic "pets", the D-Rex is a bit more fearsome looking and may be a little too scary for very young children. The recommended age for the D-Rex is actually between 6 and 15 years of age.

More than just a title, the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is truly interactive. With the built-in ability to respond to both touch and voice signals, this dinosaur will take your child's dinosaur playtime adventures to a whole other level! It is powered by a set of 4 size "C" batters that are in fact included when you purchase the toy, and then there is an additional 2 "AA" batteries that are needed which are not included. Of course, you'll want to have another set of batteries as backup.

More than other electronic toys in this genre, D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is projected to be the item to purchase during this year's holiday season. It will be a very sought after gift by many parents looking to provide their children with a truly unique and educational toy. With advanced robotics and interactive software, the D-Rex is said to present a rather independent personality that is actually quite loyal to its owner. Use this dinosaur as a guard dog, and it will roar as it walks the perimeter, making sure to let intruders know that it's on patrol!

Another innovation included in the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is its reptilian skin that actually feels like reptilian skin. Other toys of this nature don't replicate the realistic rough and leathery skin of dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago. Instead they'll use a soft cloth outer covering that essentially turns their dinosaurs into stuffed animals. Make no mistake - the D-Rex isn't a soft and cuddly toy. It's a vicious and fierce companion and friend! Standing 14 inches tall, 9 inches wide and 21 inches long, he's a formidable miniature dinosaur.

Obviously the original T-Rex that lived millions of years ago and ruled the dinosaurs was many times larger than the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur. However the D-Rex makes up for his comparatively small stature with a protective disposition and downright raging scowl. Couple this with the fact that he is actually able to respond to both motions and sounds and you have the most realistic toy dinosaur available on the market to date. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is menacing, intimidating, and pure fun on a number of different levels. Smaller children may not be able to handle how fierce this dinosaur truly is!
