Ultra Dinosaur Features
Remote Control Dinosaur Toy
The pre-historic world comes roaring to life with the Spike the Ultra Dinosaur, an Imaginext toy from Fisher-Price. Flashing lights, blinking eyes, and grunting dino speak make this big, green remote-control dinosaur a fun companion for adventurous play. Rugged and curious, Spike has a quirky personality that will draw children ages three through 10 into an exciting world of their own imagining.
This Brontosaurus styled dinosaur toy is controlled by a wireless remote. The dinosaur can walk forward, turn left and right, open its mouth, blink its eyes, stand up on its hind legs, and even throw a boulder.
The neck on the dinosaur will rotate around similar to the neck on the Mega T-Rex, and when the dinosaur stands up, spikes down its back will light up. Dinosaur sound effects and motions bring life-like movement.
A Fearsome New Friend
This awesome oversized, plastic dinosaur stands 27 inches tall, with textured green skin, a yellow underbelly, gnarly teeth, and plenty of serious spines--enough to make any young dino-enthusiast swoon.
As soon as you turn him on, spikes on this long-necked dinosaur's back and tail light up, and he starts blinking his eyes. Big, kid-friendly buttons on the durable remote control let you make Spike walk forward, turn left or right, and swing his neck around. At first he can be a little tricky to maneuver, but with just a few moments of practice, he becomes incredibly easy to control.
How To Control Spike
There's even a mystery button that lets Spike pick any motion he wants to perform. Press it again and again to get a sense of his playful nature. Two modes let you pick between having continuous background music accompany play or just hearing occasional growls, snorts, and roars.
A Durable and Adventurous Toy
Review
The well-crafted Spike was still going strong, even after our vigorous testing. We crashed him into table legs trying to make him crawl over obstacles that were just too high, and even though he might not have been happy about the way we dropped the remote control repeatedly, he kept right on doing all those dinosaur things that make him a fun addition to any family. While this ultra dinosaur held up well in the face of vigorous use, he could succumb to the rough reality of enthusiastic play and be damaged by children sitting on him or pulling apart his otherwise sturdy joints.Spike's large size makes him a great outdoor playmate, but be sure to warn kids that, since he is battery-operated, he shouldn't play in streams or jump in puddles. Cooperative kids will love putting their heads together to think up new places for their friend dinosaur to explore. The height and length that make Spike so much fun may make it hard for smaller children to carry him around, especially if they are headed to a far off relative's house. While this dinosaur is recommended as a companion for children three through 10, even adults are likely to be charmed by Spike's fun-loving personality.

This Year's HOT TOY For The Holidays! by guilliam "Deal Finder"
"We purchased this toy for our son for his 6th birthday and it was the hit of the party!! It's very easy to use and is truely amazing! It walks, burps, growls, sniffs, throws the included rock, and more!! I'm predicting it will be THE HOT TOY for the 2008 Holiday Season! So buy it early! Also, Amazon's price is the best to be found!"
SPECTACULAR by W.Marie "WMarie"
"This toy was a gift for my 5 year old. He just loves it! So does his 2 and 8 year old brothers. One suggestion: it comes with a rechargable battery that takes at least 4 hours. Recharge it before you give this gift to someone (especially if it is a Christmas gift) or they will be very disappointed they can't play with it. The 3 batteries, not included, are only for the controller. Also, buy a backup rechargable set from Imaginext so you can replace it right away. This toy is truly awesome and even fun for parents just to watch the kids so happy. You wont regret buying this gift..."
Greatest Toy Ever! by Reuben Mosqueda
"We purchased this dinosaur for my 1yr old son, Ruben. Not only does my child enjoy it but us as parents do too. It is not one of those annoying toys you want to hide after a while. Very durable and fun this is one of the best toys that fisher price could have came up with. Price does the product justice. Definitely would recommend to purchase. "
This toy will sell out for Christmas! Get it now! by Dover Mom
"We took our 3 year old son to the store to buy a new toy with his Piggy Bank savings and when he saw this toy on a store display, he wanted it immediately! It was so cool looking, we couldn't resist, so we pitched in the difference - we got it for $129.99. We have been playing with it for almost 2 hours straight now, and it is DEFINITELY worth the money! My son and 1 1/2 year old daughter absolutely LOVE it! I was amazed at how well it worked, and it is loaded with surprises, like going to sleep (yawning & snoring included) after 2 minutes of inactivity, and a music button that plays jungle-type music that is pretty neat.
My son is almost 4, and he is able to use the remote pretty well in making Spike do what he wants him to do. Unfortunately, my 38 year old husband keeps hoarding the remote! This is a great entertainment piece if you have friends over, and I am sure this will be one toy that is not simply played with for five minutes and then tossed aside. "
