5 out of 5 stars Birthday Gift   November 24, 2008
Grandma Again (California/Utah)
The product arrived on time and was a gift for a 3 year old. He has a lot of fun with it and is able to work the controls easily. Sometimes he forgets he has to stand behind it to make it work because the sensor is on the back. It looks very realistic and the skin is what my grandson calls squishy. It is a soft rubber like material. He likes it and they were studying dinosaurs at day care.


2 out of 5 stars not a well made toy   November 22, 2008

My son received this for his fifth b'day and it was a HUGE hit...for about five minutes, after which it did not work. We exchanged it for one that was not broken, and it worked for about 7 uses. Now it is on the shelf as a cool looking dinosaur that makes great sounds, but only makes a clicking sound when you try to get it to move. Not worth the money.


1 out of 5 stars Not worth the money   November 12, 2008

My son received this for his 4th Birthday and loves dinosaurs. THis toy held his intrest for less than one day. It isn't fun to play with. It's very basic. I think the Imaginex dinos are much better and more fun for kiddos to play with.

It's hit or miss when you open the remote control if it will work or not. We have to open it really hard to get it to work. I should return it for another one, but it's a pain to send back such a huge thing. And my son is not really interested in it. It sits on his dresser hardly touched. And the movements are not that fun and scary. Wish I would have saved my money.


5 out of 5 stars Remote Control Dinosaur   December 30, 2007
neeter (Northern California)
Wow, that is what both of my nephews said when they opened these on Christmas morning. It was their favorite present. After they open these, they didn't care what else they got. Their ages are 10 and 8. They were played with all day and nothing broke, which is unusual for our rough and tumble boys. Great action and sound. At the end of the day, even Grandma was growling along with them. The only problem I saw was that the remotes were on the same channel and one remote worked both so you couldn't have a Dino battle, but I would highly recommend these - great fun.
