This ‘Jurassic World’ Robotic Baby T. Rex Hatches From Gooey Eggs in Hopes of Becoming a Hot Toy
After 32 years of Jurassic Park toys, a company finally cracks the code on a cracked egg – bringing the iconic movie scene into a robotic baby dinosaur that emerges from a slimy egg.
The Spin Master’s Primal Hatch, which will be available this fall for $59.99, is a T. Rex toy that can be used to get rid of the shell with a sticky red film with its nose. It resembles the moment of the 1993 Jurassic Park movie, when character John Hammond encouraged baby speed photographers to push eggs out of the hatchery.

“We’re trying to make it as a movie as possible,” said Jamie Ricottone, one of the toy designers of the Toy Master. The original hatch toy will appear to the public for the first time this weekend, roaring for the crowd at the New York Toy Fair.
Spin Master has experience in hatching hit toys. It created Hatchimals in 2016, and the debris became one of the hottest Christmas toys – a phenomenon comparable to Tickle Me Elmo and Furby. The hatchery is a robot, a vague fantasy creature that breaks through the eggshell when the first unboxing is done. The original hatch adopts the same concept, but associates it with Universal Studios’ Jurassic World franchise – adding slime, teeth and movie-accurate roars, attracting boys aged 5 to 7.
The toy comes with nesting material to hold the eggs in place, and as the hatching process begins, the children pound the shells to encourage T. Rex to appear.
The viscous mucus film inside the shell delays the weird revelation.
After discarding the sticky shell, the next stage determines whether T. Rex is friendly or ferocious. Personality is formed in the way it interacts with touch and sound sensors. There is a clicker attachment to get reactions from T. Rex – but don’t expect good-behaved dinosaurs. After all, when it comes to training dinosaurs, you are not at the level of Owen Grady, a Velociraptor trainer at Jurassic World (played by Chris Pratt).
Ricottone said his team worked with Universal to learn from the collaboration “they are dinosaurs, not pets – you can’t train them to do what they should do.”
T. Rex’s eyes glow, changing colors to indicate their mood. Red means angry, yellow means it is neutral, green is a good boy. Feed enough steak and you might get a happy dinosaur. If you stir it enough, the creature may go completely crazy.
They are printed on the first creature they come into contact with.
The original hatch includes game modes as well as over 100 sounds and interactions; fans of Jurassic should recognize the sound effects in the movie. The more you play, the more mature it becomes – and it may eventually grow enough to get rid of the iconic Jurassic Park T. Rex Roar.
The toy is expected to wield a wave of dinosaur enthusiasm as Jurassic World: debuting in the theater on July 2. The plot involves a character who captures DNA from dinosaur eggs.
With the spinner’s eggs, including the battery – the actual Dino DNA is not.
