Spike the Ultra Dinosaur Review

by James Hayden Rayburn

Dinosaurs are a new favorite among most young kids and my twins are no exceptions! I bought 2 Fisher-Price Imaginext Spike the Ultra Dinosaur for them on their 8th birthday last month and they thoroughly enjoy playing with Spike!

Children have an instant liking towards Spike for his cool personality. His eyes blink when he is switched on, he has gnarly teeth and poky spikes on his back. He has a cute round yellow belly and a green skin. It's very easy to put Spike together. Just follow the instructions on the box, and Spike is ready to explore his world!

Spike the Ultra Dinosaur is remote controlled. This green skinned little dinosaur is 27 inches tall, has a yellow underbelly, gnarly teeth and many spikes down his back that light up when he is switched on. This Brontosaurus styled dinosaur operated with a wireless remote control which has large illustrated buttons, which makes it easy for kids to understand and use them.

Fisher-Price Imaginext Spike the Ultra Dinosaur comes with a wireless remote control with big illustrated buttons making it easy for your kids to use it. It also comes with an instruction booklet which shows you how to attach Spike's legs and tail. These pieces are color coded to prevent any confusion. Make sure you firmly attach all the connection points otherwise Spike would wobble while walking.

You should fully charge the rechargeable NiMH batteries, which would take up to 4 hours so that your kids can have a fun time with Spike without any interruptions. The remote control requires 3 AA batteries which you must buy beside.

When you turn Spike on, the spikes on his back and tail illuminate and his eyes start to blink. It can be a little difficult at first to maneuver Spike, but with practice it gets easier to control. Each middle button on the remote control has new actions for Spike. Have him stand on his hind legs, hang his head low or move his jaws, it's a delight to watch Spike do all the Dinosaur stuff and your kid will thoroughly enjoy it! Your kid can pick from continuous background music while Spike is at play or occasional roars and growls.

Spikes large size makes him an excellent outdoor playmate for your kids. For $129.88, it's worth the cost. There is nothing more delightful to watch your young dinosaur enthusiast jump with joy!
