Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Fisher-Price Imaginext Mega T-Rex will transport your child to a fantastical world of dinosaurs, robots, and soldiers. Designed for ages three and up, this motorized toy features enough interactive parts, sound effects, and snap-on accessories to keep your child occupied for hours. Standout features include two firing cannons, an opening cockpit, and a push button that makes T-Rex burst into action.
Press and hold the button to see him move and roar. View larger.
Turn the figure to open the control pod. View larger.
New Take on Classic Toy
Standing over 1 foot in height, Imaginext Mega T-Rex adds a new, futuristic dimension to classic dinosaur play. This is no ordinary dinosaur toy: Mega T-Rex is equipped with robotic armor, including tech arms and a protective helmet. He even has two blasters mounted on his armor, which can fire projectiles during the heat of battle. T-Rex also comes with a miniature soldier figure who can "take control" of T-Rex by sitting in his cockpit.
If your kids are in the mood for a more traditional dinosaur game, they can simply snap off Mega T-Rex's armor. Even without his high-tech accessories, the dinosaur can provide plenty of imaginative thrills. T-Rex features everything you'd expect from a dinosaur toy, from his scaly hide to his fearsome teeth and snapping jaws.
Exciting Motorized Action and Sound Effects
Mega T-Rex is partially motorized and features several moving parts. With a touch of the button on his back, T-Rex comes to life: he throws his head back, opens his jaws, and lets out a ferocious roar. His arms and tail are also animated. One unfortunate downside is that the motor is quite loud and can muffle T-Rex's roaring sound. However, the end results are worth a little extra noise pollution: T-Rex's movements are very convincing and are sure to captivate the imaginations of young children.
Multiple Features Encourage Imagination
Mega T-Rex is designed to spark your child's natural creativity and imagination. The toy's motorized parts, sounds, and accessories give kids plenty of imaginative options. Younger kids will be charmed by the dinosaur's stylized, cartoonish look and his bright colors. Older children will love pitting Mega T-Rex against their other toys in play battles. They might imagine T-Rex stomping over a prehistoric landscape--or they can snap on his armor and be transported to an exciting futuristic universe where dinosaurs still rule.
What's in the Box
Mega T-Rex, helmet, rear control pod, two projectile launchers, tech arms, action figure, and four AA batteries.

(What's this?)

As a mom of four boys, we have found Imaginext toys to be not only some of the best toys on the market, but some of the most enjoyable to play with. We have bins and bins of them, starting with the old school construction sets. We also own all the dinosaurs that came out a few years back. They are similar to these dinosaurs, but they did not come with all this FUN battle gear.
Pros:
-Easy packaging. It was very easy to get the toy out of the package.
-Fun to play with - Very imaginative
-Educational - Everyone marked it down in educational, but taking everything off and on, figuring out how everything works, that is a challenge for a little guy, and I think that teaches a nice skill.
-Durable - We have owned all the Transformers, Nerf guns, ATV ride-ons etc., and our Imaginext are the only toy that I would recommend with a 5 star for durability. In the hundreds of pieces that we own, we have only ever had 3 break. We had a piece break off a whale, a leg off the giraffe, and a leg off a jaguar. We have not yet had a dinosaur break.
-They come with the batteries! And if the batteries die, they are still fun to play with.
-Big, but not too big. They are big enough for little hands to play with, but not too big to be unmanageable. Spike, the remote control dinosaur was too big for a little guy to manage.
-I love that it comes with so many pieces. You can buy additional pieces, but this is a lot of pieces, so it should give a lot of playing fun.
Cons:
-The cockpit lid seems to pop off a little too much. It is easy to get back on, but they could have probably fixed the design.
-I also think the front battle gear that hooks to the arms is a little tricky for the little guys. However, my 5 year old did fine. My four year old struggled a little.
My final review gives this toy 5 stars. They have taken their old design (which all the neighborhood kids come over to our house to play with), and added the fun battle gear and guy. I love that the guys are interchangeable with the sets, and the gear for the guys swaps. It is very nice if your kids have several sets and swap around. I would definitely choose these over any other toy on the market. My kids love them and they are durable. Also, we have a couple of the large Fisher Price remote control things (spike, and the cave man), and I wouldn't recommend those. Their batteries stop holding a charge. This guy takes regular batteries, and as I pointed out before, it not only comes with the batteries, but if they die you can continue to play with this toy. We WILL be purchasing the rest in the set for Christmas this year.

I would have loved to save this toy for Xmas but wanted to play with it myself the moment it arrived. Before our Little Paleontologist could even see the toy, my husband and I had the T-Rex out of the box and were playing Land of the Lost! Boy does this monster ROAR like Dinosaur should in our imgainations! We didn't even bother with the weapons, since the plain T-Rex was plenty of fun by itself. Our little man thought the same thing for almost anm hour, terrifying the cats with his feirce visage, decent movement and that fabulous Roar!
The battle weapons are pretty neat and although this toy is part of a series, it isn't necessary to buy the other toys to have fun with it as it was with some other toys we've gotten to review. I was very pleased to see that. The action figure is the same size as most of the ones we have and so it didn't take our fella much time to integrate him into the little world of his "guys" If anything, he thought this was one of the good soldiers from Avatar who was riding the T-rex to fight the soldiers trying to destroy the Navi. well, uh.. OK by me! Whatever makes his boat float. That said, the enticing illustrations on the back of other Battle Dinosaurs in the series, especially the Fisher-Price Imaginext Apatosaurus Dino and the Fisher-Price Imaginext Triceraptops Dino brought pleas of "Oh, can I please get these too???" Yikes. Well, the Triceritops is inexpensive and the Apatosuarus isn't too steep either so, I've put those on my once a month Toy list for holiday & birthday gifts. I've also let the family know that this series of toys has captured my kid's imagination and added them to the wishlist for family. This piece was the priciest one, so adding more from the series, one at a time, may be a good way to sustain interest in the toy.
As for this toy: The guns shoot plastic darts and there were NO pieces that would fit through my "child can choke on it" device" so the age range listed is appropriate but I don't know if 3 and 4 year olds should really be encouraged to play with fairly realistic, if cartoonish, weapons - that's a parent by parent call to make. My child is in the mid-range and enjoyed playing with the T-Rex Dinosaur all by itself just as much as playing with the T-Rex all tricked out for battle.The battle gear snaps on and off easily and given the rough play we gave it, I consider it to be better than average on durability. The T-Rex himself is the star of the show with movements at his neck, torso and legs. There is a large, child friendly button to hold down on his tail to make him roar and thrash back and forth. The Guns reloaded easily and even with some very ham-fisted snapping on and off, nothing broke or snapped. I'm going with 5 stars for now because usually most toys of this type would be in pieces after a week and change of very heavy play by adults and a few kids. For fun - it was simply off the charts for both kids and adults.
I gave it four stars for educational value only because it made my child more interested in the T-Rex and Dinosaurs again (it comes and goes with him) and we looked up some info on Dinosaurs when I told him that there's an even bigger Dino than a T-Rex called Giganotosaurus and that a friend of mine from before he was born helped carry it's Skull replica to a meeting in NYC and I showed him the TV show that depicted this. That led to a long Web-surfing session to find coloring pages for show & tell and the stripped down T-Rex went to school (without his battlegear) along with photos of Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus a Dino of a different family who is bigger even than Gigo). It's rare that a plastic toy generates that amount of interest in our house. If you get this toy, try taking off all the battle-gear and starting a discussion about the lergest Dinosaurs and see where it goes. You might get the same response I did if you have a kid in the Dinosaur phase.
Overall, we were thrilled with this toy and certainly plan to either purchase more in the series ourselves or hopefully get them as gifts from relatives who use our Wishlist this year. My one word of advice about wishlisting toys is to buy the biggest, priciest piece yourself if you plan on asking relatives and friends to fill out the series as their gift. That way, in these tough economic times, you're giving others the chance to fill out the Toy set and still stay within their budgets. If you can't do that, suggest two people go in on this toy because it really is fun and it's the largest one in the series.
Imaginext makes other grouped series of toys and the one that interest my child the most was the one Aircraft carrier with the tricked out World War II looking planes. I went to the Imaginext Website and found They had a video called "Either Ore" that featured the battle Dinosuar toys who were searching for a substance called Volcanium which powers them. It's computer animated and basically a commercial but my child enjoyed it even though the T-rex's rider was a bad guy. Also on the website are some activity pages featuring the Dino toys that included interactive puzzles, games and printable coloring pages. If you have any of the Imaginext toys, you should definately go there for the coloring pages alone. Just keep in mind, it's all free advertising.

I got this product with the intent of providing a new toy for my 4 year old son, who likes dinosaurs, and has quite the imagination.
Although he may be slightly biased, since he saw the ad on TV for this and was very excited about the prospects of receiving it, he was obviously thrilled when I pulled it out of the box for him. He has spent hours playing with this toy, and ties it in with his other Imaginext toys (for example, the space shuttle, since the toys share similar sizing and the "people" figures that come with the toys are the same size, and thus seem to be interchangeable.
As a rambunctious 4 year old boy, my son can be tough on toys, and this is no exception - he throws it around, stomps the feet onto the floor, and generally makes sure that it is quite durable. Thus far, the toy has proven to withstand the punishment quite well, and he has tremendously enjoyed playing with it thus far.
Overall, I would heartily recommend this toy to anyone who has a child that has an interest in dinosaurs or has other Imaginext toys - it's a nice complement to the set.
