Triceratops (Roarivores)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
…Fallen Kingdom Roarivores, we now have the Triceratops! As with the other Roarivores, the packaging feature an exploding volcano in the background and a high tech dinosaur enclosure on the back and front. We know from the movie trailer that Isla Nublar is in trouble, and for the first time since 1997, people are actually trying to get the dinosaurs off the island. The packaging for all the Roarivores is open so kids can try the dinosaurs’ action…
Ankylosaurus (Roarivores)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
…for 3 seconds and smells poop” Ceratosaurus (thanks, Joe!). Like all other Roarivores, she has a button on her back that, when pressed, plays one of three different noises and swings the tail to the left; which is odd, as the curve of the tail would make you think it should swing to the right. The figure features a nice array of articulation. Like all other Roarivores, the legs have universal joints, allowing for swiveling and outward motion, alth…
Pteranodon (Jurassic World Roarivores by Mattel)
…as so pleased, I endeavored to post the first reviews of the first wave of Roarivores here, here, and here during the summer of 2018. Wave 2 of the Roarivores offered new species and sculpts, one of them being the *sigh* Pteranodon, which once again follows the horrible Universal design. But is it a good toy? Let’s find out today! At 8 inches long and boasting an impressive 16 inch wingspan, this figure offers plenty of play value. The toothy mout…
Metriacanthosaurus (Roarivores)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
…gure. The shoulders and hips are ball-jointed, which is awesome. Like most Roarivores, the Metriacanthosaurus measures about 13 inches long and 5 inches tall. It scales well with 3.75-5 inch tall figures. My personal favorite Roarivore released thus so far is the Baryonyx, but this is the second one. She is full of flaws, but . . . IT’S A METRIACANTHOSAURUS! A very nice figure for your Jurassic collection. I have had a lot of fun with it. Availabl…
Ceratosaurus (Roarivores)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
…e), but it wasn’t exactly a smash. Now we have Mattel’s attempt: the JW:FK Roarivores Ceratosaurus. From nose to tail tip, this bad boy measures slightly over 30 cm long and stands around 13 cm tall when standing in a horizontal position. Its colour scheme is nearly identical to the aforementioned Hasbro version: sandy yellow and fiery red with black stripes, orange eyes, pale yellow for the horn and teeth, and reddish pink for the tongue and mout…
Pachyrhinosaurus (Sinoceratops) (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Roarivores by Mattel)
…s better and certainly cheaper. Since this is a part of the awfully named “Roarivores” line it has a button that when pushed lifts the head up and down, and emits various grumble sounds. This toy is in no way a proper substitute for a Sinoceratops (though some nice customizations do exist) but at least where the head is concerned it’s a pretty decent Pachyrhinosaurus. It appears to be based on Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai specifically, what with the…
Allosaurus Roarivores(Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, by Mattel)
3.3 (20 votes) When ever I hear the theme from Jurassic Park it send chills down my spine and puts a smile on my face. That is the power of music combined with the nostalgic feelings that I have for the original Jurassic Park movie. Ever since the original movie release, the franchises movies, music, and toys have had there ups and downs. When I was a kid I did buy Alan Grant and a couple of the die cast metal figures but I honestly didn’t collec…
Allosaurus (Dual Attack)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
…hat the previous toy did not have. Also worth mentioning is that, like the Roarivores version, this one thankfully does not have pronated wrists, as theropod wrists would have to be broken to be in such a position. In regard to BaBR’s Allosaurus design, this toy is mostly accurate, aside from some proportion issues. Namely the small legs and a head that is too big. Otherwise, the head design, spikes, and color scheme of shades of blue and tan are…
Ankylosaurus (Bumpy) (Jurassic World Dino-Escape, Roar Attack by Mattel)
…, and a new back with a re-tooled action feature. I never got the original Roarivores Ankylosaurus so cannot compare them directly for you. The action feature on all the new Roar Attack figures replaces the push button with a three-phase sliding apparatus. Sliding the device once will cock the tail towards the right, sliding it again cocks it further, and then on the third slide the tail releases and swings. Each of the three stop points also prod…
Ceratosaurus (Jurassic Park 3, Hammond Collection by Mattel)
…d down the rest of the body and tail. It’s perhaps the only thing that the Roarivores Ceratosaurus does better than this one. The nasal horn is dull yellow, like the body, the teeth are white, and the eyes are gold with round, black pupils. Except for the hallux toe all the fingers and toe claws are painted dark brown. Thanks to being modeled after the JP3 Ceratosaurus, this is aesthetically the most eye-catching of all the Hammond Collection dino…
Pteranodon (Battle Damage)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
…e notices that this figure sports the same color scheme as the much larger Roarivores figure, which is ultimately based upon the Pteranodons that appeared in Jurassic World, with turquoise and crimson for the main colors and yellow eyes. Unlike its larger counterpart, however, this figure does not have any electronics, and offers much more articulation. The wings in particular are capable of moving up and down, as well as rotating all around, offe…
Triceratops (Jurassic World Duel Attack by Mattel)
…oking at today is basically a re-tool of another toy already reviewed, the Roarivores Triceratops. There are oodles of other Jurassic World toys that still need reviews and this one is admittedly not terribly exciting. But…I got it on clearance, and I haven’t written a dinosaur review in awhile, mostly due to my efforts being focused on the recently launched Animal Toy Blog. Also, I do believe an effort is being made to make this blog as complete…
Rajasaurus (Jurassic World: Roar Strikers by Mattel)
…s series, which follows in the footsteps of Roar Attack, Sound Strike, and Roarivores. Between Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Quilmesaurus, Rugops, Skorpiovenator, and this genus, it’s clear that someone at Mattel has a real fondness for abelisaurs. Not even CollectA or PNSO have made that many (yet)! With the CollectA Rajasaurus, the only other toy of this genus currently in existence. The main colour is medium brown with dark blue grey markings on…
Concavenator (Jurassic World Dino Rivals, Dual Attack, by Mattel)
…rt of their new Dual Attack range, which are around the same size of their Roarivores, only without the electronics. Instead of a single button that makes the model roar, there are two buttons that perform one of two actions. The first button is located right behind the neck, and it allows the model to chomp its jaws, the second button is essentially the animals hump, which allows the model to swing its tail. Now when I first saw youtube videos of…
Coelurus (Jurassic World, Dino-Rivals by Mattel)
…oolest in the entire Jurassic World line. Overall it’s very similar to the Roarivores Ceratosaurus but also unique to this particular toy. The body is white overall, something you rarely see. Dark blue stripes run down the neck, back, and halfway down the tail. The cranium is red and there’s red overlaying the blue portions of the back and down along the knees as well. Unfortunately, the nails are all left unpainted, common with Mattel toys. I thi…
Sarcosuchus (Jurassic World Massive Biters, by Mattel)
…ts already hitting shelves. The Massive Biters are larger than toys in the Roarivores or Sound Strike lines and all share a similar action feature. The tail when rotated will twist the head up and down and left and right. There is also a button at the base of the tail that opens and closes the mouth but these toys do not make sounds. It’s a fun gimmick that allows for a lot of imaginative play for their target demographic. It particularly suites t…
Skorpiovenator (Jurassic World: Dominion, Roar Strikers by Mattel)
…trikers line. This is a mid-sized figure, similar to Mattel’s Roar Attack, Roarivores, and Sound Strike lines. The toy measures 13” in length and stands 5” tall at the top of the head. The actual Skorpiovenator is estimated to have measured 20’ in length, putting this toy at 1/18 in scale which means it scales accurately with the human figures. The action feature on this toy is unlike anything we’ve seen from this line before. Instead of having a…
Pteranodon (Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Sound Strike by Mattel)
…is no exception. It does have some differences from the first release, the Roarivores one seen here, but in reality, they are just small features that build up on the existing mold. This toy measures 8 inches by 16 inches and is the second “Bananahead,” which I have named so for the yellow crest. The body is cast this time in brown, and has darker brown painted on top of the wings. The beak and the crest are yellow. As usual, the underside is not…
Spinosaurus (Extreme Chomping)(Jurassic World Legacy Collection by Mattel)
…e way, and can move slightly up and down, but not as effectively as on the Roarivores and some of the smaller Battle Damage figures. The neck joints do not offer the same wide range of movement on the Extreme Chomping Tyrannosaurus due to being designed rather close together. The legs can move in and out and up and down, and the joints near the ankles can rotate. The tail is also able to rotate and move up and down. The Spinosaurus features the sa…
