Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Deluxe version, Procon/CollectA)

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Dinosauria by Wild Republic)
60 fearsome teeth, each the size of a banana lining the jaws; two tiny fingers on each arm; a big head; and a long tail to balance the body? What dinosaur species is this? Every dinosaur fan will be able to answer this question: of course, it is the almighty Tyrannosaurus rex, everyone’s favourite dinosaur!
