ANGUS THE RC T REX
ANGUS THE RC T REX
Hi Friend,
You’re about to embark on a “dino-mite” adventure with
me, Angus the RC T-Rex, and my GeoRider™ Brody.
I’m the king of the dinos, and Brody is my amazing rider.
Together we charge forward to gather the lava stones our
city needs to survive. The CyberRiders™ can’t stop us!
Insert Brody or any other rider into the driver’s seat and
press a button to hear us talk or make cool sounds! You
might even learn a little about the most awesome dino
that ever lived—me.
For more fun, be sure to check out the rest of the VTech®
Switch & Go Dinos® crew (each sold separately).
Remember, with me, the GeoRiders™ and the CyberRiders™,
you’re in for some dino-stomping, road-racing fun! Who will
get to the lava stones first?
GeoRiders™ are rock solid!
