Toy Review - Dinosaur Toys and Robots
- 2 years ago
Kids love dinosaurs. It is this truth that we hold self-evident. As such there are always lot of excellent dinosaur centric toys hitting shelves. But which are the ones you should consider? From pterano-drones and Fingerlings Untamed to roaring Jurassic World T-Rex and giant plush toys, here are some of our favorites.
First up is the Thrash ’N Throw Tyrannosaurus Rex. Based on the iconic beast from the Jurassic World series, this toy is a whopping three feet tall and features authentic detail, movie-inspired markings, and articulated arms and legs for realistic action. It has extra-wide jaws that, when opened, can swallow mini dino action figures without even a burp.
Next, the Jurassic World Pterano-Drone. This is a full-function, quadcopter drone married with a realistic Pteranodon, this remote control toy performs stunts and flies up to 25 feet in the air. It charges via USB, and comes with a handful of replacement propeller parts, should it sneak up on the wrong woodpecker.
We have the Kamigami Dinosaur Robots. Built by folding and snapping together flat sheets of plastic, Kamigami robots include a bevy of sensors (3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.) and are programmed using a tablet or smartphone ⏤ so kids get those highly touted STEM skills.
Kids are crazy for Fingerlings. The tiny monkeys that cling to fingers were the hit of the holiday season and haven’t loosened their considerable grip. Now, WowWee, the company that makes the tiny creatures, is releasing a new “UNTAMED” dinosaur Fingerlings series. Honestly, they look pretty awesome. And yes, like their predecessors, they fart.
Lastly, we have a giant T-Rex plush from Melissa and Doug. This is brightly-colored and nice to hug. Sometimes, this is all you want out of a toy.
