Tiny Bison

King’s Big Bucket of Dinosaurs is a large bin of dinosaur related playthings that any small child interested in dinosaurs would love. It comes with 10 large dinosaurs, several plastic rocks and trees, a playmat (it looks like a map), and two large volcanoes. It all comes in a sturdy bin with a lid so you can store the toys when they aren’t all scattered all over your living room.

Kids love to play with this. The dinosaurs are made well and the accessories are sturdy, so they can take a beating.

Unfortunately, the names on the underside of the dinosaurs aren’t always accurate, which isn’t a big deal since they are almost invisible anyway.

The other bad part is that, although they are safe for children, these dinosaurs tend to attack the soles of parents feet. Even the herbivores.

The bucket goes for about $20. This exact product is available in-store at Toys R’ Us, but a very similar variant is available through their online store.

The following is an interview with a 3-year old about this product:

Q: “What do you like about it?”
A: “Um..a Stegasaurus. Mommy says I can have dinosaurs in bed”.

Q: “Is the Stegasaurus your favorite?”
A: “No, the Styrocosaurus. I want to play with this (points to unrelated toy). C – N – O – D DUMP THEM! C – DOO – DO – DUMP IT! C – O – O!” (I don’t have a clue what this was about. I’m assuming that he wanted to dump the bucket of dinosaurs, but I’m not sure what or why he was spelling. And, yes, he does know what a styrocosaurus is — even if I can’t spell it.)

Q: “Do you like the trees that come with the bucket?”
A: “yeah.” (Then he makes a growling noise and slams the T-Rex into the ground)

Q: “Do you like the volcanos?”
A: “Yeah and I like this mountain too! Are you sure he is going to fit under there, daddy?” (Spoken while trying to stuff the T-Rex into the volcano and hide him under it)

Q: “How much would you pay for this?”
A: (He thinks about it) “I don’t know”.

Q: “Would you pay $50?”
A: “Yes.”

Q: “Would you pay more?”
A: “Yes.”

Q: “Would you pay 2 Million dollars?”
A: “Yes — I can’t reach my train.” (While reaching for his train money bank) “I really need my dollar, daddy. PLEASE!”

Q: “Do you like the bucket?”
A: “Yeah it has dinosaurs on it and it really, really stinks” (I have no clue)

Q: “Were you excited to get it?”
A: “Yeah.”

Q: “How excited?”
A: “I was really handsome!” (Spoken with much enthusiasm)

Q: “Do you like the T-Rex?”
A: “Yep. He doesn’t eat boys”.

And he doesn’t.
