ThinkGeek.com released a set of collectible 'Inevitable Betrayal' dinosaurs from the cult TV series Firefly. Named after a comedic segment in the opening scene of the sci-fi show, these dinosaur toys are among the most iconic pieces of memorabilia to come out of the show. The iconic opening scene shows Firefly pilot Wash sitting at his controls playing with two dinosaur action figures, miming actions and mimicking voices.
These dinosaur toys are exact replicas of the figures used in the scene, and come with audio that activates when the user squeezes the abdomen on either dinosaur. The audio replicates the silly and iconic dialogue, including the now famous 'Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal' line that has since become famous across the Internet.
