can it walk with you on it?
Those eyes are so big, I cant resis poking them.
They have things like this in malls in Asia. Taiwan, at least. You put a coin in, and you can ride some giant robotic stuffed animal around the mall. Neato!
wow...D cells? how very...90's.
Well, I think it's better than having a giant Li-Ion exploding on (or, worse, under) your child...
mmmmmm what's that smell honey? whatcha cooking for dinner it smells great!
Fountain of Youth, please.
6 D batteries?
why not 1 car battery?
Man! Does anyone remember the Dino Riders toys from the 80's? This is like a childhood dream come to life! any they STILL take 6 D batteries to run! Brilliant!

*"And they still..."
Figure I'd correct myself before the grammar Nazis came out of the woodwork. ;)
oh i remember, i even have a torosaurus toy stored in a basement somewhere...
i think i also had a pteranodon and saurolophus when i was a kid.
Don't any of you have young daughters? This is the Butterscotch pony dressed up in dino clothes. I guess they finally figured out they were only selling to half the population.
I guess you could say they figured out how to get more people to 'pony up'?
har....
LOL
I'm going to call mine 'Vista'.
What kind of ports does it have?
Kid´s toys today might be better, but have you ever seen any of their cartoons? They´re really BAD!! Except for spongebob:)
Mah childhood toys WERE wooden blocks >:P
Longnecks don't play with threehorns.
wait till you see, all that changes in Land Before Time 28
Wouldn't this scare most kids shitless?
Sure they get toy dinosaurs, but how but that discovery special on scientists close to bringing back REAL dinosaurs! Take that kids! I'll take first class on the pterodactyl please.
On second thought, this thing is not really furry. hmmm?
Oh come on... That's my name... (really. Its true. I'm half Japanese.)
Some kid is going to fall off of that thing, crack his skull, and after some lengthy legal procedures this will go the way of Lawn Darts.
It's cool, but some dumb kid always screws up the cool toys for the rest of us.
I can remember a lot of cool, projectile-firing toys in the works in the late 80s, including a Boba Fett with a firing backpack rocket. Some kids were playing with some Battlestar: Galactica toys that fired missiles, and shot one down the other's throat. No more firing Boba Fett, and no more projectile toys.
"Marshall, Will, and Holly, on a routine expedition..."
>play "adventure-themed songs"
I TOTALLY played with wooden blocks as a kid!
suckers!
Wait until all the yuppies at the dog park see me show up with my pet triceratops on a leash.
lol
But seriously, will it blend?
That would actually be pretty disturbing to watch, if a large enough blender was available to do the deed.

Still haven't found anything that says it actually walks. If it is in fact a Butterscotch pony in dino skin, then I don't think it does. Cause hey, free range dino in your own living room anyone?
