Feb 16 2008, 1:00pm CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

It is an odd time to report about the hot next toy for Holiday season, but the toy companies just presented their newest toys at toy fair. Fisher-Price already landed another hit Elmo version with Elmo Live. Hasbro also announced a whole list of new toys including Kota the Triceratops Dinosaur animatronics ride-on dino.Kota is a life-size baby dinosaur measuring over 40-inches in length.

KOTA The Triceratops reacts to touch and sound with realistic dinosaur noises and movements. Featuring sensors in eleven areas on his body, KOTA will react to touch by moving his head, tail and horns or giving a friendly dino roar. With KOTA The Triceratops children will enjoy the simulated experience of 'riding' a dinosaur; kids can ride comfortably on his back in a spring-loaded seat, holding onto a handle hidden behind the dinosaur's head.
To enhance the fantasy play of going for an adventure on a triceratops, while 'riding' KOTA children will hear fun jungle sounds. Kids can also flip a switch on the handle to play adventure-themed songs while enjoying their prehistoric journey.
KOTA The Triceratops comes complete with leafy greens that the dinosaur will 'munch' when 'fed' and, like a good friend, KOTA will roar back when spoken to. Six "D" batteries are required but not included. Kota will sell for $300 and ship in Fall.

More details about Kota and other new Hasbro toys like the Dance Cam, Helmet Heroes and Glide 2 Ride Bike in this Hasbro press-release.
