Fisher-Price Spike the Ultra Dinosaur

The Spike the Ultra Dinosaur toy is a rather large, green, remote control dinosaur with big red eyes and several movements, sounds, and functions to keep children entertained. His spiked tail and classic dinosaur looks bring back an era in history where peaceful giants plucked vegetation from the treetops, and dangerous behemoths roamed the earth with predatory intentions.

Spike encourages a child’s interest in the much sought after but seldom satisfied curiosities of the world as we know it, and the possibilities of how things might have been millions of years ago. Boys love Spike the Ultra Dinosaur because they can make it walk, roar, and control its various movements and sounds with the easy to operate remote control. They are able to independently control the swinging head and tail, as well as the direction of the legs as they lumber along.                              

One Spike the Ultra Dinosaur review said that once their child opened the toy at his birthday party, the other young guest’s eyes grew wide, and were noticeably impressed as it was removed from the package. The review went on to add that, once the Jurassic giant was put into play, the rest of the activities that had been planned for him and the rest of the children for the evening went out the   window. The party goers took turns operating the toy while the others feigned absolute terror as they ran back and forth to    escape the ferocious beast. 

                         

Several Spike the Ultra Dinosaur reviews say that the kids turned off the lights and squealed -excitedly at the colorful lights covering the length of the dinosaurs back and tail. The spikes on the tail swung wildly from side to side as the children explored the different sounds and motions on the remote control. The kids also seemed to enjoy the deep, intimidating roar echoing from the speaker on the plaything’s chest, and they responded with roars of their own as their imaginations went wild.

Another Spike the Ultra Dinosaur review brings an interesting fact to light. The large, tooth filled mouth is not only capable of holding things, such as the bone (included), but can also launch the bumpy grey boulders a pretty fair distance. The durable construction also allows for the toy to be played with outside, creating hours of outdoor fun for all, marching and roaring over all types of terrain in the back yard.

It was hard for our staff to find any negative Spike the Ultra Dinosaur reviews at all. Though the legs, neck, and tail pieces exhibit a great range of motion, there was nowhere on the toy that presented any kind of pinch point hazard or noticeable probability of causing children any injury or harm whatsoever. Also, the hard plastic shell and sealed lights allowed for easy wipe down after the creature’s adventures had come to a close for the day.

For families with several children, parents may want to buy Spike the Ultra Dinosaur for each of them, because it’s sure to be a popular item they all want to play with. Parents may even have trouble getting them to share him. The toys can be made to walk side by side in friendship or engage in prehistoric battle, launching boulders back and forth and gnashing their teeth at each other.  In consumer tests, several of the toys were used in close proximity of each other, and no interference took place between the monsters and their different remote controls. In fact, the only concern parents may have is making sure they have enough batteries to keep up with the time their kids will spend with this toy.
