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. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.think { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; border-bottom: 1px dotted #000000; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; } td.glance { height: 100%; background: #9DC4D8; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; } Spike stands on his hind legs, waves his tail, and roars.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Dynamic remote-control dinosaur with lights and sound effects The Bad: Large size makes traveling with Spike tricky In a Nutshell: An awesome new friend for imaginative kids At a Glance Ages: 3 to 10 Requires: 3 AA batteries 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. Before Spike is ready to roam the Earth, you'll need to snap his legs and tail into place. These pieces are color coded to prevent confusion, and the instruction booklet offers a nice illustration. Make sure all three connection points on each front leg are securely attached, otherwise he'll struggle to walk. You'll also want to fully charge the included NiMH rechargeable battery before kids get their hands on this dinosaur, a process which may take up to four hours. With all the use Spike will be getting, you'll enjoy the long life of this power solution. The convenient wireless remote requires three AA batteries (not included) for operation. Innovative and Easy to Control 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. Holding down any one of the four middle buttons unleashes a new action. Pick between having him stand on his hind legs, swinging his neck around while unleashing a huge roar, or hanging his head low. Another button controls the motion of his jaw. Practice combining movements to snatch up the plastic boulders off the ground or toss them in the air (a skill we never perfected). 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. Durable and Adventurous 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. What's in the Box Dinosaur, remote control, 9.6V NiMH rechargeable battery, battery charger, two plastic rocks, and a plastic bone. |

Dino Toy by T. Bartley  4 Stars
October 11, 2009
I bought this toy for my daughter's 7th birthday. The toy is great. It did come shipped unassembled. The directions were easy to understand. When I attatched the legs, they were supposed to make a snapping sound and I panicked when one of the legs wouldn't move at first. You really have to pop it on there.
There are little secret things to learn on the Fisher-Price site. Check out those videos.
Overall, I thought it was a good deal. Durability, so far, is good. He is heavy and bulky to carry. So a smaller child might have trouble with that.

This was a birthday gift for my 5 year old nephew. According to his dad, "(he) is so in love with his present. He played with it all night last night and again this morning. Definitely a good one."

My son loved it, until it broke...but.... by Amy L. Bertucci (chicago) 4 Stars
February 21, 2009
My 4 year old son wanted this really bad for Christmas. I hesitated because of the price and the fact that he never plays with any toys for very long, but I couldn't disappoint him. He loved it and played with it everyday for over a month, until the mouth stopped working. I am so glad I read some other reviews to learn this is a common problem and not something he did to break it. I called Fisher Price and they are sending a mailing label for me to return it and they will send a new one. No original box or receipt required! While I'm disappointed that it malfunctioned, I'm very happy, at least at this point, about the customer service. Hopefully we'll have better luck with the next one.

Buy at your own risk by M. Norris (Mason, Ohio United States)  2 Stars
January 18, 2009
It was great fun for about three weeks. My son (6 years old) loved it and we didn't have any issues. Then the mouth stopped working. I started looking at reviews and saw that I actually got more use out of it than most since many reviews noted the mouth stopped working within the first week. We are still playing with it, but for the price I would expect more.
