07 Dec 09 Drex Interactive Dinosaur And His Two Buddies, Pleo And Kota

All kids seem to go through a dinosaurs phase at some point in their childhood. I'm not sure what the exact fascination is but I can guess that these weird looking creatures just get into their imagination and they want to learn everything they can about them. For kids that want a bit more of an interactive experience, then the latest thing is interactive dinosaur toys. Having a robotic pet is a huge craze this Christmas, so why not be original and go for a robotic dinopet instead of a hamster, cat, dog or parrot ? This article will detail three lovable dinopets that kids would like at Christmas.

The first interactive dinosaur toy goes by the name of D-Rex. He is a Tyrannosaurus Rex the king of all dinosaurs, even though he only lived in one period of the Dinosaur years and much of the information we have is speculation. I would suggest that D-Rex as a fun toy for kids 6 and up. Adults will probably get a kick out of him too (or maybe that should be a bite).

He is reasonably smart in that he can sense movement and sound. He will faithfully follow things that move around or make a sound (which really annoys real life pets). He can stand guard of your prized possessions and bite anything that might try to steal it. He can also emit laugh inducing sound from both the front and the errr..back of his dinosaur frame. He will make a variety of sounds based on how and where you stroke him or tickle him even. He is quite clever, fairly predictable after a while but mostly fun in the intervening period.

Pleo is a Camarasaurus. In fact his documentation says that he is an orphaned Camarasaurus, only a week old and needing some attention. He is looking for a home to call his own. Most people would agree (and the price would also verify this) that Pleo is the most complex interactive dinosaur toy of the three. In truth he is hardly a toy. He can learn from his experiences and will grow (personality wise that is - not size wise) based on how you treat and bring him up.

He can also be happy, moody and a variety of affectations based on how you treat him (he even acts sleepy when his battery is running down). He has more mechanical and robotic parts than the other toys and also sports more sensors and a changeable software mind. This can be updated to give the little fellow more abilities, functionality and appear more intelligent.

Kota is the last dinosaur covered here and he too is baby. He is an infant triceratops. In my experience, children are fond of about three main dinosaurs, triceratops always seems to make the cut so to speak. This is probably because he is the most distinctive dinosaur along with the Stegosaurus.

Kota is made for younger children and toddlers to play with. He is what I would describe as a dinosaur rocking horse. He is large and younger children can ride on him. He will rock up and down and squeak out little dinosaur grunts and chirps. Alternatively, you can play music from him. Children can feed and stroke him too. He will respond by pretending to eat the leaf and moving his head in response to your actions, even wiggling his tail if he is happy.
