Inspired by the demand for dinosaur toys and surprise-inside toys, [ZURU](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashers-horror-house) is now introducing its third ZURU SMASHERS collectible range with the SMASHERS SERIES 3 DINO, which includes items like the Epic Dino Egg toy.

The new collectibles put a fun spin on archaeological toys by introducing a smashable [dinosaur egg shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-tamagotchi-celebration-egg) that can be opened to reveal mutant, robot and rock-hard fossil dinos, as well as putty, "dino dirt" sand, slime, fossil rock and even [bath bombs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-train-your-dragon-x-lush). The multi-sensory toys also include scratch n' reveal map that encourages kids to discover all there is to find in the large egg toys—the Epic Dino Egg is almost a foot tall and contains more than 25 different surprises for curious kids to uncover.
