The literature I read about the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur talks about his being the “ultimate pet.” My son, Carl, has been wanting a puppy, and he has always loved dinosaurs, so we compromised – for now. Carl is 6 years old, and maybe we’ll talk about a real puppy when he gets a little older. He can start with a D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur right now.
In a DRex Interactive Dinosaur review, it stated that D-Rex can walk, roar, and respond to voice and touch. This is made possible through a combination of robotics technology and software that gives D-Rex the ability to be, as they put it, “semi-autonomous.” Simply put, he can act almost as though he’s real. He can move his eyes and wag his tail, and, depending what mode you have him in, he can be affectionate, too.
The DRex Interactive Dinosaur is just over 13 inches tall, nearly 9 inches wide, and about 22 inches long. He requires 4 “C” batteries, which come with the toy, and 2 “AA” batteries, which you must purchase on your own. Carl loves all the roaring sounds his D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur makes (there are supposed to be over 100!), and Carl has a new claim as to what each roar is. “He’s hungry, Mom,” or, “He wants to take a nap,” or, “D-Rex wants to play a game,” or any of a multitude of other requests Carl says DRex is making.
I read that this toy got great reviews at the New York Toy Fair and is supposed to be very popular this Christmas season. It is expected that there will be a lot of demand for the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur. I am so glad we already bought one for Carl, because he is enjoying it now. If your child loves dinosaurs or wants a first “pet,” you might consider purchasing a D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur.
