In other news, Playskool is doing a time machine for just $ 1,000,000 so you can buy a Triceratops and send it back into your childhood.
Basically the only real reason to have $ 1,000,300 in the first place.

Boys: But why can't I have a real triceratops?

Girls: But why can't I have a real horse?

So you're gonna buy the 25 cent ride at the mall for your house? you could be the richest parent on the block if you put in a coin slot :]

@GoatMonkey: DAMN SON--------You got to be a city boy!
FYI: horses not only CAN move their ears, they can use them to hear. Is that not amazing? They can even have one ear pointed forward and turn the other backward. I sure hope you are not an MD. No way in hell are you gonna get me to cough.

leMel — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 14:39:27 EST

As mentioned, it's a reskinned Fur-Real Friends Butterscotch horse.

The horns are articulated because that's where the horse-ears armature was located.

This is a product extension to double the target market (the horse was aimed at girls).

@Lupison: "4) Parent notices the kid on the box is not wearing protective gear." -- Ah, but the defense is that the kid in the photo is riding the dino in a featureless white zone of nothingness where falling results in striking nothing. Thus, it is the parent's fault for not following the example closely enough.

Just to be clear, this thing doesn't actually walk. This is just a dinosaur version of the FurReal Butterscotch horse "robot" Hasbro hawked awhile back.

The press release says it's for riding. I don't know if they mean it actually walks or just shakes, mechanic bull style. I guess that if they say riding, it's riding, but we will try it at the Toy Fair.

1) Buy kid baby dinosaur
2) Kid rides baby dinosaur
3) Kid falls off baby dinosaur, bumps head, cries, heals, and rides dino again.
4) Parent notices the kid on the box is not wearing protective gear.
5) Parent calls Lawyer. Offers corrupt Doctor % gained.
6) ....
7) Profit
