Boomer the Robot Baby T-Rex Looks Like the Best Toy and I Want One Right Now

The two things I’ve seen in scifi that I want to be real the most and also fear the most are dinosaurs and robots. We may not have Jurassic Park yet (or ever, sadly), but we’re clearly making up for that shortcoming in the robotics department. Meet Boomer, the most adorable robot dinosaur toy you’ll ever see. I’ll take 5,000 of them, please.

I’ve never seen something that was in such dire need of a crowdfunding campaign. I want to be able to go buy my own scrappy little robo-rex that follows my hand around—even if I’m pretty sure that’s because he’s trying to bite it off.
