If your kid is a fan of "Dino Ranch," you will be ecstatic to learn the show has inspired a number of toys. Now, your child can take the characters they love and create their own wild "pre-westoric" adventures.
The best Dino Ranch toy is one that includes your child's favorite character, whether it is a Rancheroo or a Dino. The Dino Ranch Blitz Plush is a favorite because it lets your child carry and cuddle the popular Blitz, a lightning-fast velociraptor. If you're not familiar with the characters, it's important to learn who is who before making a purchase.
"Dino Ranch" is an animated TV series on Disney+ that is about life on a farm that raises dinosaurs. The show is designed to entertain kids 2-5 years old and features a cast of vibrant characters committed to doing what's right. Each fast-paced episode is filled with adventure, thrills and just a little peril. Some of the dinosaurs are loud and aggressive, which may be upsetting for younger children, but the episodes always have happy endings.
Although there are adults and many dinosaurs in the series, "Dino Ranch" mainly revolves around three kids and their dinosaurs.
Jon Cassidy: Jon is the 10-year-old leader of the three Cassidy siblings. He is athletic and aspires to be a great dino-trainer like Pa.
Blitz: Blitz is Jon's super-fast velociraptor.
Min Cassidy: Min is the 8-year-old middle child of the Cassidy clan. She is in training to become a dino doctor, and she uses her medical knowledge to care for sick or injured dinos.
Clover: Clover is Min's kind-hearted brontosaurus.
Miguel Cassidy: The youngest member of the family is Miguel. At just 6 years old, Miguel is an accomplished inventor who builds many things.
Tango: Tango is Miguel's powerful and helpful triceratops.
Dino Ranch toys are not your average toy dinosaurs. Besides featuring the main characters from the series, both human and dino, there are playsets that include vehicles and buildings as well. Each playset is designed to combine with other playsets, so your child can have an ever-growing Dino Ranch.
There are four main types of Dino Ranch toys currently offered by Jazwares: people, dinos, vehicles and playsets. If your child had their heart set on a plush Blitz and you purchased a Dino Hatchery playset, they might not be as happy as you hoped. Talk with your child before purchasing a Dino Ranch toy to find out which type they would most like to have.
If you want a Rancheroo and their dino, that will cost less than $10. For a playset that includes multiple characters, building fronts and other special items, you will be looking at around $20.
