Giant Inflatable Remote Control T-Rex


Take your short armed Jurassic friend everywhere with this Giant Inflatable Remote Control T-Rex. Unlike your standard giant inflatable dinosaur, this beast can roll around, spin, and turn. And just like most standard office work, it can all be done remotely. But instead of a corporate controller, it’s a handheld controller. The graphic designer on this next image might want to reconsider the font used to write T-Rex SFX! because that F looks suspiciously close to being an E, if you know what I’m saying. Gross.

Fully inflated, and it takes just 20 seconds to inflate, this big boy measures 56″ tall and 75″ tip to tail (the standard measurement unit for air filled dinosaurs, of course). He’s still 23″ long when fully deflated, just like me. Does it also have sound effects? You bet Jurassic it does. Stomping and roaring sounds from the Jurassic World Dominion movie to be exact. And we always are exact here. Always. Trust the process.

Not sure how fast this thing rolls about, and we highly doubt it’s actually fast enough to do a burnout as shown in the picture (seriously, where do they get these graphic designers from?). At any speed you could certainly scare a small child, a cat, or a senior citizen with it, if that’s your thing. Obviously this is great for Halloween, but perhaps less obviously it’s great for Arbor Day.

3D Printed Dragon Feet TV Stand: For Your Own House of the Dragon

Because dinosaur feet make everything better (googly eyes, too, but this isn’t about them), Thingiverse user melgrubb created 3D-printed dino feet to support a flatscreen television. That’s cool, but he should have also printed little t-rex arms hugging the television from the sides.

According to Mel, he recently moved a wall-hanging television from one room to another, where it was to become a terrestrial model, but he couldn’t find the original feet (story of my life). His wife suggested 3D printing feet, and when he asked what they should look like, she said dragon feet. The rest is television history.

Of course, the odds of these feet being an exact fit for your television model are low, but they can be scaled up or down in different dimensions to make them fit your television’s bolts. Per Mel: “I printed them in a lovely marble filament, and my wife painted the nails with the ‘sluttiest’ red nail polish she could find at the dollar store. Now, this TV makes us smile even when it’s not turned on.” Haha, that TV makes me smile even when it’s not turned on, and it’s not my TV, and I’m just looking at a picture of it! Now that’s quality.

A Skeleton T-Rex Eating a Person Inflatable Halloween Decoration

Because one can never have too many Halloween yard inflatables, GOOSH has created a skeleton t-rex eating a person inflatable that’s almost too perfect not for me to buy three. Available on Amazon (affiliate link), the t-rex measures a respectable 7 feet tall, 6.5 feet long, and 3.5 feet wide. Hmm, must still be a juvenile.

It reminds me of the scene from Jurassic Park where the escaped t-rex eats lawyer Donald Gennaro while he’s trying to hide in the bathroom (previously immortalized by Mattel in toy form). I imagine this is sort of a retelling of Jurassic Park where the scientists decided to resurrect dinosaur skeletons with black magic instead of DNA cloning.

Fingers crossed they decide to make a whole bunch of different dinosaur skeleton inflatables as well; that way I can finally realize the undead dinosaur zoo Halloween yard decorating theme I’ve always dreamed of. Hey – we all have different dreams. And, based on the look she just shot me, my wife’s and mine are particularly different.

Mattel’s Jurassic Park T-Rex Eating Lawyer in Outhouse Playset

Unveiled at Comic-Con 2022, Mattel has created an official Jurassic Park toy of the t-rex eating lawyer Donald Gennaro as he attempts to hide inside an outhouse. A classic cinema moment for sure. The $80 playset includes a 3.75″ Gennaro action figure, a significantly larger t-rex, along with destructible outhouse with lighting and sound effects, sure to provide hours of lawyer-eating fun.

Between Gennaro getting eaten on the can and Dennis Nedry getting spat on by the dilophosaurus, it was nice seeing those jerks get their just desserts. Sure, you could argue that nobody deserves to be eaten by dinosaurs, but you would be wrong. Those guys did. Plus several other people I know.

Unfortunately for those seriously interested, the playset appears to have already sold out, so expect to pay a pretty penny for one in the resale market. Or just cross your fingers and hope to pick one up at a garage sale in ten years. That’s what I’m doing. Either way, I’ll be saving myself a small fortune.

Chia-Saurus Rex: Grow Your Own Dinosaur

You can never own too many Chia Pets – just ask my aunt. I’m pretty sure she owns every single one ever made. Granted most of the plants have long since died and they’re all just bald terracotta figurines now, but that doesn’t stop her from proudly displaying them all. And while not it’s not from the official Chia Pet brand, I bet this $22 Chia-Saurus Rex Planter from FireBox would be a welcome addition to her collection.

The Chia-Saurus Rex comes with everything you need to grow yourself a t-rex with a bushy green bodysuit in just one to two weeks. That’s fast! For reference, I’ve been waiting 40 years to be able to grow a mustache. God willing, 41 will finally be the year.

The company encourages you to harvest the chia sprouts after they’ve grown a bit, then add them to a salad, soup, or sandwiches to add a little tang. Then buy some more chia seeds from the grocery store and grow your edible dinosaur coat all over again. The fun never ends! I mean, provided this is what you consider fun. Otherwise, the fun never began at all.

T-Rex Eating Gnomes Garden Sculpture: Jurassic Yard

Garden gnomes: they live hard lives. They constantly have to be on the lookout for hungry cats and other wild animals. Apparently including dinosaurs, as is the case with this t-rex eating garden gnomes sculpture made by SOWSUN and available on Amazon (affiliate link). I can already see all my existing gnomes scrambling in terror.

Each resin statue is hand-painted with UV-resistant paint to prevent fading and measures approximately 14″H x 10″L x 6″W. Am I going to buy a whole army of them? I mean, it’s kind of hard not to know that the idea is in my head. Hey honey – I’m just going to borrow your credit card for a minute, okay?

Which gnome is your favorite? I like the one that’s being trampled underfoot. I also like the one in the t-rex’s jaws with his eyes closed, already resigned to a painful, crushing death. Clearly, that gnome didn’t grow up with a cartoon frog-choking-the-stork-that’s-eating-it ‘NEVER GIVE UP’ poster in his bedroom.

T-Rex Skull Tape Dispenser: Add a Little Dino to Your Desk

Make no bones about it, this t-rex skull tape dispenser is officially the coolest tape dispenser I’ve seen. Made and sold by Etsy shop Meow3DStore, the 3D printed dispenser is available in a variety of colors and sizes (standard is a surprisingly large 5″ x 4″ x 3.6″) and is really going to bring a touch of prehistoric times to my office, which I feel it’s been missing. Plus a desk and a chair.

Seeing one in a person’s hand really puts its size into perspective. This isn’t your grandma’s tape dispenser! I mean, unless your grandma is 66-million years old and used to hunt dinosaurs, then she might use an actual t-rex skull for a tape dispenser. Hardcore!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been more excited to wrap presents this Christmas thanks to my recently purchased t-rex skull tape dispenser. And not just the gifts I bought myself, but mostly the gifts I bought myself, because I know what I like.

Finally, The Neon Laser Wireframe Dinosaur Shirts We’ve All Been Waiting For

Looking for a new favorite shirt? Well, look no further than this neon laser wireframe dinosaur shirt from MerryBlue. The $40 shirt is available in all sizes from S – 5XL and is the perfect wardrobe choice for letting your boss know you will be getting that raise, it will be a big one, and it will come with more vacation days so you can also wear this shirt on a tropical beach.

Now I know what you’re thinking, “Gosh, but I’d really like a matching hat and swim trunks to complete the look.” And you’re in luck because those are also real products that exist and are available for $30 and $40, respectively. Now if they just made matching loafers.

It’s like the ’80s and Jurassic Park had a baby. A perfect, beautiful baby. I just asked my wife if she’d buy us each a shirt and hat so we could match on our next date night out and she just turned away without responding which I can only assume means she’s going to surprise me with them down the road.

Life found a way with Google’s ‘Jurassic World’ AR models

Who wouldn’t want a dinosaur in their living room? If you search for one of ten species on Google, you can tap “View in 3D” on your mobile device to open up an augmented reality version of the beasts and have them superimposed -- at scale -- in your...

Inflatable T-Rex Halloween Skeleton


All we have left of the dinosaurs are their bones (and maybe birds depending who you ask) but that means they are completely ready for Halloween with their dino skeleton costumes. It’s not too late (thank you Amazon Prime) to make your house the coolest on the block this Halloween by setting up this sweet Inflatable Dinosaur Skeleton. This 6+ foot tall inflatable also has LED lights for an even spookier effect.

We like that this Tyrannosaurus Rex is holding a pumpkin- he may act like he’s all fierce and the king of all dinosaurs, a cold blooded killer, but really he’s just a guy with a big heart and tiny brain holding a gourd. We can relate. Heck, he probably carefully and meticulously spent hours carving it with his tiny legged little razor sharp claws like a reptilian Edward Scissorhands.
