2.0 out of 5 stars sending it back; weird phrases, November 19, 2012

This review is from: VTech Switch & Go Dinos - Sliver the T-Rex Dinosaur (Toy)
My son asked for this from Santa after seeing the commercial on t.v. So I ordered it, "played" with it, and now will have to send it back. I really didn't like some of the phrases that they put on this toy. He says things like, "Obey your king", "cower in fear", "rub my feet, and massage my tail". He has over 50 phrases and some are neat, educational facts about the T-Rex. I just wish they'd have left it at that. In the car form he says, "I drive Angry!" and "This is MY road!" I thought some of those phrases were just too odd, (not to mention rude), and not appropriate for my 5 year old, (I don't want him repeating them!)
I love V-tech toys so didn't hesitate to buy this one, but it was a big disappointment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool Toy - Awful Language..., November 26, 2012
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: VTech Switch & Go Dinos - Sliver the T-Rex Dinosaur (Toy)
My 3.5 year old son saw these and immediately wanted one. We got him Sliver. I loved how easy it was for him to transform, and how interactive it was. He loved it from the moment it touched his hands. The price was just right as well.

HOWEVER, the things this dinosaur and driver say are just not cool. ON YOUR KNEES, OBEY YOUR KING, I DRIVE ANGRY, FEAR ME.... Not exactly phrase you'd want your kid repeating in public.

I don't see why VTech couldn't have made this toy to be fierce without being rude? Instead, I can either take the toy away, which given how much my son loves it already isn't going to happen or try to explain why these phrases are not appropriate to say in preschool and to his friends...

5.0 out of 5 stars Loud &Fun: Sliver the T-Rex is a hit with kids & adults - has Transformer Appeal for kids older than 5 due to his vocalization, July 19, 2012

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
Clearly Sliver The T-Rex and all his Switch & Go Dino friends are an attempt to appeal to the newer, younger Transformers crowd of kids but when we took him out of the box, the kids had a hard time keeping him away from the adults in the room! We kept wanting to make him say "Fear me!" over & Over again since he's got such a menacing voice. ;-) The control buttons for volume and to change his eye display ar sensibly located on his snout and other buttons trigger the "over 50 sounds and phrases" he makes. Once we got him out of the box, the kids immediately re-configured him into a car to test out all those new racing noises and we lost all control of toy testing! They say the age recommendations are 3 to 8 but I would guess it's closer to age 5 to 8 for kids and then also fun for any adult male or female that loves dinosaurs or The Transformers. Any child under the age of 5 might get a little frsutrated by how sensitive the buttons on since you barely have to touch them and... Read more
