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.

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.

Spider-Man T-Rex Gets An Action Figure

Pulled from the pages of the Edge of Spider-Verse #1 comic, Spider-Rex (aka Pter Ptarker) is a Spider-Man/t-rex hybrid learning about his powers. And now, the character has been immortalized as a 16-inch action figure released by Marvel and Hasbro and available at Entertainment Earth. Move over, grandma’s ashes; there’s about to be a new star on the fireplace mantle!

Web-Chompin’ Spider-Rex features poseable limbs and a classic blue and red Spidey motif. He also has ten sound effects activated by a push of a button on his back and can launch a ‘dino blast’ projectile from his mouth via a push of the button at the base of his tail. Will ashes accidentally be scattered all over the living room carpet as a result of an unfortunate dino blast? I’d like to think not, but the possibility is real and high.

I’ve got my fingers crossed for even more dinosaur superhero hybrids because this is a trend I could really get behind. Probably me and every other six-year-old! Still, Spider-Rex should be thankful he can shoot webs because those little Spidey arms would be useless otherwise.

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.

T-Rex Skull Hard-Boiled Egg Mold: Making Fossils for Breakfast

How do you get your kids to eat their eggs? Simple — scramble them. Kids love scrambled eggs. Or is that me? More of a hard-boiled fan? Enter the EGG-A-MATIC t-rex skull egg mold (affiliate link) from Fred. It turns a boring hard-boiled egg into a delicious dinosaur skull. Rawr!

All you have to do is hard boil an egg, peel it, then while it’s still warm, place it in the mold and into the refrigerator to chill. Once it’s cool, TA-DA, you’ve got yourself a dinosaur skull-shaped egg. Obviously, if they aren’t charging $12 apiece for dinosaur-shaped eggs at Jurassic Park’s food stands, they’re missing out on a very lucrative revenue stream.

So – which came first, the dinosaur or the egg? I have no clue, but you better believe as soon as my time machine is operational, I’ll be the first to find out and finally put the mystery to rest. Nobel Prize Winner sure has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

Creating A Hyperrealistic T-Rex Cake: A Roaring Good Dessert

Five-year-old me would have lost his mind for a realistic t-rex cake on my birthday. And, if I’m being perfectly honest, current me still would. And here to show us how it’s done, Natalie Sideserf of Sideserf Cake Studio in Austin, Texas walks us through her process of decorating a hyperrealistic t-rex cake to promote season 2 of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous on Netflix. Rawr!

The way the t-rex is able to stand on its own two feet and look so dynamic is impressive. This thing is so incredible I’d argue the only thing not hyperrealistic about it is its size. And, okay, maybe the taste. Of course, I’ve never had t-rex before so I can’t say that for certain.

For reference, the most elaborate birthday cake I ever got was a sheet cake from the local grocery store with my name spelled wrong. It also said Happy Retirement. You know now that I think about it that might not have been my cake.

Mount a Life-size T-Rex Head Trophy on Your Wall

Are you one of those people who loves to mount animal trophies on your wall, regardless of whether or not you actually were the one who slew the beast? Then have I got a prize for your collection! This T-Rex trophy head will make a great addition to any wall and requires no actual dinosaur hunting.

The guys at Etsy shop Cakeboard Designs sell this resin and fiberglass dino head for the low, low price of $1199, which is a bargain when it comes to full-size dinosaur trophies. It measures 42″ high by 36″ wide by 53″ deep in case you’ve got your tape measure out and are checking your available wall space. Just look at this thing with all of its pointy teeth and beady green eyes. But you’re not gonna get me now, T-Rex. Nope, you don’t even have those tiny arms to flail around hopelessly.

If the full-size T-Rex is too big for your wall or wallet, Cakeboard also makes a small (14.5″h) version that’s just $100. They also sell a 3-foot-long compsognathus statue and a giant 20-foot-long postosuchus for true dinosaur connoisseurs.

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.
