Kota the Triceratops is just another reminder of that kids today have way cooler toys than you ever did as a youngster.

The adorable dino companion stands just over three feet tall and is interactive: it has nine movement sensors spread around its body to give it an aura of awareness so that it can react to a child's play, moving around its head and tail and legs. Kota is robust enough to truck a child around on its back, and, at the press of a button, the child can activate adventurous tunes to accompany the fun.

Kota the Triceratops will retail for $300 in Fall 2008 and takes six D batteries for it to operate.
