The centerpiece of this 23-piece play set is, of course, the giant T-Rex. It's hard to imagine a fiercer, more authentic-looking one. This scaly, colorful predator has mouth open wide, plentiful sharp teeth flashing danger, and looks so real you half expect him to come to life. Even more fierce than his looks are the enraged roars he lets loose each time you tilt his head, while his eyes emit a crazed yellow light. Standi...Read more
