These two beasts are for kids ages 3 and older. The Kota is obviously the bigger one – the kids can actually ride on him – and he’ll be available in September for more than your allowance ($300), so you can’t have one. The Fisher Price Dino ($140) is a little more action-packed, reminiscient of the Wowwee Roboraptor without the feasting on your guts part.

Both of these guys are impressive examples of high-end robotics stuffed into kids toys. What will the next generation be playing with? Biomass rendering farms?
