D-Rex Robotic Dino Attacks On Command
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 10 of October , 2008 at 12:05 am
Dinosaurs never go out of style, and it seems as though robot dinosaurs are getting more and more popular, what with Pleo, Kota, and now D-Rex. It may seem like the market is getting a bit crowded, but Pleo (alternate personalities aside) and Kota are missing one critical aspect of dinosaurs: they eat people.
D-Rex is able guard your stuff for you and “will attack and obey on command.” He only weighs 5 pounds, but maybe he’s got poison teeth or an integrated taser or something. He definitely roars, and in fact has over 100 different roars to let you know what he wants. Touch sensors and voice commands let you interact with him, or you can control him more directly with his dinosaur bone remote.
It’s unfortunate that Mattel promotes D-Rex as “the ultimate pet for boys” that “celebrates traditional boys play patterns.” I guess girls are stuck with Barbie dolls, instead. Thanks Mattel.
The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is available from Amazon for $150.

And just what is so wrong with celebrating “Traditional” boy’s play patterns? Perhaps you’re one of those who would buy your boy a Barbie doll. or a Suzy Homemaker Oven. How sensitive..and yet retarded all at the same time.
