FRR MUNCHIN REX

Product Information

The furReal Munchin’ Rex has a lot of tricks up its sleeves and, with 35 different sound-and-motion response combinations, engages children in playful and unpredictable ways. When he wants a treat he jumps up and down in excitement, but you never know if furReal Munchin’ Rex will chew them up or spit them out. This is a nice touch in theory, as it helps conserve battery life; however, for the sake of toddler play, I find it to be a flaw, especially since it can be tricky for tiny toddler hands to turn the dinosaur back on.

That said, the boost of excitement that comes with the dinosaur’s responses wears off pretty quickly and is just not enough to hold kids’ interest—especially older ones (6 and up). Though my 2-year-old boy was intrigued and did laugh at times, he doesn’t have the skills or attention span to fully appreciate all the interactive fun that the dinosaur provides.Because of the plastic hands and legs and the hard structure underneath the fur, the dinosaur isn’t as soft and cuddly as I had hoped (or as it seemed on the box)—but my son didn’t seem to mind. It’s withstood my toddler’s rough handling and many drops; and to this day, it still looks as good as new. The furReal Munchin’ Rex, which my son dubbed T-Rex, does provide laughter, and it also offers an opportunity to teach the art of problem-solving and empathetic care. This seems pretty straightforward, but my son had to practice; and before he figured out where and how strongly to press, he came to me every few minutes to turn the pet back on. The Munchin Rex (Blue Version) is a baby dino pet with personality that responds with more than 35 sound-and-motion combinations.

That said, the Little Live Pets Snuggles does seem to provide more nuanced and diverse interactions: In addition to responding to sound and feedings, it will react to kisses and tickles. We are currently delivering in NSW to Greater Sydney, Central Coast, South Coast and Newcastle as well as Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

All in all, my son loves caring for this cute baby animal and has even developed a sense of responsibility to keep it content (kind of like how I felt with my Tamagotchi).

The boost of excitement that comes with the dinosaur’s responses wears off pretty quickly and is just not enough to hold kids’ interest—especially older ones. And though he loves seeing the dinosaur hopping and moving his head up and down when we wave at it, he originally was disappointed to find out that it didn’t walk, though. The boys bring it with them in the car and on walks, and my husband and I are able to tune it out and keep on chatting, undisturbed.

The Munchin' Rex (Blue Version) pet's a handful, all right - unpredictable, huggable, and oh-so-loveable!

My oldest son particularly loves hearing the pet slurp when he feeds it the bottle, and he belly-laughs every time it fusses about the broccoli. It provides a great deal of fun and caring moments that make it worth the cost (especially if your little one loves dinosaurs).

Both of my children, 2 and 5 years old, were instantly drawn to the furReal pet’s bright and vibrant colors—so much so that it’s often the first toy they reach for in the morning. If you little ones love the FurReal line of pets they’re sure to love the newest instalment – a broccoli eating dinosaur! When the pet is upset or cranky, my son tries to come up with solutions to make it happy—from hugging to feeding it to waving and being silly.
