D REX is the most ferocious of the new dinos on the market. He walks, charges, chomps, roars and will respond to your voice and commands. He is covered with a reptile-ish skin to make him more life like than the recent crop of robotic dinos. When we first saw D REX at toy fair, it was clear this was the dino that you would scare your little sister with. He also promises to have a room guard mode. We look forward to testing him. For a slightly less scary dino, look at Fisher-Price's Spike and for the preschool set, Playkool's Kota My Tricertaops.
