Dinosaurs are alive! Well, almost. That’s what my son, Harry, said when he first saw the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur. D-Rex is a pretty impressive interactive toy. The technology that is used in toys to make them seem more real gets better every year. Harry has lots of dinosaur toys, stuffed animals, and figures. The DRex Interactive Dinosaur, through the aid of robotics technology, software, and well-placed sensors, can seem to actually interact with Harry on almost a personal level.
A D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur review talked of this toy being one of the best toys of the year and an exceptional gift for Christmas. Everyone was talking about preorders before it was released. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is certainly a special toy. Dinosaurs are very popular right now, and several different prehistoric toys have been making the rounds of store shelves. D-Rex is one of the most believable versions, because he can respond to sound and motion. His eyes move, his tail wags, and he roars. He also walks, chomps, and bares his teeth at intruders. He can respond to love, care, and attention, as well.
The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur has skin that looks like real reptile skin, and it feels soft and sort-of rubbery. DRex also has over 100 roars that he uses to communicate. All these factors combine to provide a realistic type of dinosaur “pet” for children like my son, Harry. There are moments when you have to do a double-take, like when the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur responds to Harry in a manner where you say, “Wait a minute…” Then you remember that he is only a toy which is run by batteries (four size “C” and two size “AA,” to be exact – the “C” batteries are included, but you have to come up with the “AAs” on your own). I would definitely recommend this toy to parents of kids who like dinosaurs and want an experience like none other.
