Hasbro's FurReal Munchin' Rex Eats Plastic Broccoli and Cookie Toys
Laura McQuarrie — February 22, 2018 — Life-Stages
Hasbro announced several new additions to its FurReal Friends line at the New York Toy Fair, including a broccoli-eating dinosaur called Munchin' Rex.
Munchin' Rex is a baby dinosaur that seeks attention by hopping when it is hungry. To satisfy the dinosaur toy's hunger, kids are able to feed Munchin' Rex either a plastic piece of broccoli or a caveman cookie, both of which will trigger fun responses from the plaything—sometimes, the dinosaur toy will make spitting, slurping or burping sounds, depending on its mood.
In keeping with the theme of the FurReal Friends toy line, the new dinosaur toy from Hasbro boasts the ability to respond to both sound and touch.
