## Description

desertcart.com Dinosaur lovers of all ages are in luck! The D-Rex 2.0 Interactive Dinosaur is a friend, guardian, and prankster all rolled into one toy. Designed for kids eight years and older, this dinosaur --brought to life with "biomorphic robotics"-- features over 100 sounds and movements. Using a bone-shaped remote,D-Rex responds to an "attack" command by roaring and stalking a victim, and he wags his tail when kids pet the back of his head. D-Rex's level of interaction increases with the ability to memorize and perform a sequence of up to 30 actions. At a Glance Ages: 8+ Requires: 5 "C" (included)2 "AAA" batteries (not included)Screwdriver for battery installation What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Biomorphic robotics enable D-Rex to interact with you like a real pet. The Challenging: Realistic features may frighten youngsters. In a Nutshell: This ultimate pet is trainable, wards off enemies, and comes when you call him. At 14 inches in height, D-Rex features over 100 realistic movements and sounds.View larger. Take command of the prehistoric predator using the bone-shaped remote. View larger. Fearsome Predator or Lovable Pet? Though he wears a collar and stands only 14 inches tall, this D-Rex is still a "fearsome" predator. Kids will be enthralled by his realistic skin, and lifelike movements, which are possible thanks to biomorphic robotics. His fiery orange eyes scan the room, and his neck and tail "muscles" ripple with movement. D-Rex has a personality all his own with over 100 sounds and movements, as well as sensors that respond to light, sound, and touch.Become His Master Using the bone-shaped remote control, kids can program D-Rex to perform a number of actions from up to 25 feet away. Pressing "attack" mode makes D-Rex stand alert, and pressing it a second time sends him on a roaring rampage. In "guard" mode, D-Rex stiffens and scans the room, moving his head from side to side. At the first sound of an intruder, D-Rex will roar to alert you. While D-Rex is an effective guardian, like any pet he has needs of his own. If D-Rex's tail stops wagging, he may want attention. Pet his head and quickly get his tail wagging. Also, to keep his hunger at bay, kids can feed him. His jaws will move up and down, stopping only after he has had his fill.Lifelike Interaction As kids learn to tame D-Rex and keep him happy, they can relate to him much like a real-live pet. In "seek" mode, D-Rex comes when you whistle, and in "prank" mode, he repeats funny sounds. Best of all, an advanced training feature allows kids to teach him a specific sequence of actions that he will then repeat on command. As a power-saving feature, D-Rex takes a "Dino-nap" when not being used. Parents will want to assist with removing the toy's packaging and installing two "AAA" batteries (not included) in the bone remote control.What's in the Box D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur, five "C" batteries, and bone control. (Two "AAA" batteries for the remote control not included.) Advanced, "biomorphic" robotic technology allows D-Rex to function like a real pet. From the Manufacturer D-REX Interactive Dinosaur: The ultimate Prehistoric Pet is back again in 2009 with great new features! A ferocious yet loyal interactive dinosaur with an independent personality, D-Rex combines robotics, sensors and reptilian-like skin to create a lifelike appearance and behavior. He'll walk, chomp and roar to let you know what he wants. Pet and feed D-Rex to become his master, then surprise friends and family with his charging attack! Like a real pet, D-Rex will follow the sound of your voice, make funny noises and protect your room with his roaring guard mode. Now you can even teach D-Rex tricks, programming him to perform a sequence of up to 30 actions! D-Rex: Are You His Master ...Or Prey?

Review: Best TOY for boys or girls ages 5-8 - I wanted this toy Christmas 2008 and couldn't get one! This past Christmas was about the same EXCEPT!!! desertcart came thru for me and my grandson. The price locally was like $159 and we have a large family so with everything else, taxes etc we just didn't have the extra. I found this on desertcart and on SALE!!! I order it like 4 days before Christmas and rec'd a WILL BE DELIVERED AFTER CHRISTMAS.... that was ok, my grandson would wait - it would be a Rudolph gift. Bless desertcart....someone must have realized it was a child's gift - upgraded my shipping and it came CHRISTMAS EVE! Thank you desertcart soo much. This little dino was a hit with everyone, child and adult and it's still a hit. My grandson loves him and he is so funny and plays like an actual pet! I want to get one for my newest grandson who is 4 months old now! If your kids or grandkids love dino's like mine do - this TOY is the greatest!
Review: For kids 8 and up. - My 9 yr son wanted this so badly, I made him learn his times tables first and he got it as a reward, he had waited for it and was so excited, for months he was on about it after seeing it in a toy shop. He wss initially crazy about it, but he played with it for two days and hasn't touched it since. Once he went through all the commands, saw what it could do and wore out the first set of batteries, very quickly, within the two days, he was bored. Great product, batteries on it will cost a fortune so be ready for that and older kids get bored quickly with it. I just got him a guinea pig and he's having a lot more fun with that as this dinosaur is too robotic and doesn't hold his attention, he has something now that can love him back. I think it may be better for slightly younger kids.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ D-Rex
*by D***A on January 18, 2011*

The whole family loves this toy! Very realistic to look at and to touch and very fun to play with. You need to use good batteries though. We opted for rechargeables since it takes 5 c size and cheap batteries get used up quick. Fun to train and sweet to look at. A great toy for any dino fan. He had the whole family, kids and adults alike, laughing and wanting to see more. Esp. his facial movements.
