It can walk, it can growl, and the kids can actually ride it. It doesn't get any better than that. Unless they can come up with actual cloned baby triceratops. You can buy Kota now from Amazon for $300. [Amazon via BotJunkie]

Yes. Full size. Baby. Triceratops. Riding. Robot. Really, this thing looks so cool that makes the Pleo look like a bag of bricks.

Playskool says that Kota has sensors in eleven parts of his body that react to the touch and trigger different motions—including some cute horny action—and sounds. They say that the thing will even munch on special leafs, Cookie Monster style. Seriously, this is one of those toys which makes me want to have a three-year-old body rather than just a three-year-old brain. Expect a full butts-on and horny tickling this weekend, live from New York's Toy Fair 2008. [Playskool]

Following the steps of Darth Tater, here's another useless but irresistible piece of colored plastic: the Optimash Prime. I don't know who comes up with those names at Hasbro, but only for that I will give them the $9.99 they ask for it. – Jesus Diaz

Okay, the devices aren't that bad. The Infant Gym is a ceiling mobile and MP3 player that comes loaded up with some baby tunes or lets you put your death metal playlist on it if your heart desires. The Day To Dream Soother is a similar device but it sits on a table and projects lights on the ceiling while playing the tunes. Prices begin at $35. –Travis Hudson
