Diabloceratops (Jurassic World Dino Trackers, Wild Roar by Mattel)
…This toy is in the mid-size range and part of the Wild Roar set, basically Roarivores. Mattel advertises the action feature as “modes of aggression”. I don’t know about any of that, the toy has a switch on the back that makes grumbling sounds and swings the head left and right. The switch is similar to the sliding buttons Mattel favored a couple years ago but its neutral position is in the middle and you have to push it left and right to work it….
Triceratops (Jurassic World: Roar Strikers by Mattel)
…y identical in size and overall appearance to the previous Duel Attack and Roarivores versions. The limbs are moulded a little bit differently, with the right hind one stepping forward and the left hind one extended back. The front set of limbs can rotate and bend out to the sides slightly while the hind set can only rotate due to the gimmick. The tail also rotates. The head is the same familiar film visage, the tail is still too long, and the ski…
Legacy 6-Pack (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
…of the other figures in the line (such as the Battle Damage figures or the Roarivores) and has neck and jaw articulation. It does not have articulation at the legs because of the action feature. The grey Velociraptor is a repaint of Attack Pack Blue. While not completely accurate to the color scheme of the raptors in the first film, it’s close to how they appeared, with their coloration muted in comparison to the more vibrant maquette, with the ex…
Pteranodon (Jurassic World: Primal Attack Sound Strike by Mattel)
…beak have grey on them, and there are also painted teeth, unlike with the Roarivores toy. The feet are also grey. It measures 8″ x16″ like all the other Pteranodons utilizing this mold. As for the action mechanism, the button behind the neck causes the figure to open its jaws and emit a Dino Scream(TM), and the back button triggers the flapping mechanism along with sounds. Once again, this one is for the completists, but then I noticed that the c…
Ampelosaurus (Jurassic World: Dominion, Massive Action by Mattel)
…d part of Mattel’s Massive Action line. These toys are larger in size than Roarivores sized toys and although they have action features, they do not make sounds. This toy measures about 14” long and stands about 6.5” tall to the top of the head. The actual Ampelosaurus is estimated to have been 40-60’ long which puts the toy at about 1/35-1/50 in scale. Hey, they can’t all be as big as the Mattel Dreadnoughtus. The action feature here is operated…
Parasaurolophus (Dual Attack Dino Rivals)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
…ra picks up on it). It is also about the size of the other Dual Attack and Roarivores toys produced, nowhere near as large as it would have been in life compared to the humans and the other creatures in this line. It is about 12 inches long by 5 inches tall when in a quadrupedal stance. For accuracy, this Parasaurolophus gets most things right, and perhaps only some proportions are off (such as the large feet), since this is based off the film des…
Indoraptor (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
…-sized” JP/JW figures, including human characters. Here it is next to the “Roarivores” Baryonyx, the “Attack Pack” Gallimimus and green Velociraptor, and the “Action Attack” Carnotaurus. In summary, the poseable “villain dinosaur” Indoraptor figure is pretty awesome in terms of a toy to play with. At an average retail price tag of $19.99 USD, it is not unreasonably priced either. There is a “Basic Dino Value” Indoraptor toy figure as well, but I b…
Jurassic World: Dominion Roar Strikers Pteranodon (Mattel)
…ou the final Mattel Pteranodon figure that uses the mold first used by the Roarivores Pteranodon from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and which has been retooled several times, as you can see here, here, here, here and here. However, this figure has some welcome and needed improvements which make it quite different from its predecessors. Let us have a look, shall we? I do not know if I have said anything about the open packaging for the bigger Dom…
Xuanhanosaurus (Jurassic World Dino Trackers Danger Pack by Mattel)
…g dinosaur figures and naming them afterwards? We already have an example: Roarivores Sinoceratops is actually a Pachyrhinosaurus, but it got a name change due to the fact that Universal wanted to market Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom to the massive Chinese audience, and Pachyrhinosaurus was substituted by Sinoceratops, a dinosaur which represented China. I mean, they are similar enough, right? Now, the animal chosen to represent Piatnitzkysaurus,…
Irritator (Jurassic World Dino Trackers Wild Roar by Mattel)
…’s dinosaurs. I have spoken about it in the past when I reviewed the first Roarivores in 2015, and sadly, almost a decade later, they have not changed their ways when it comes to their dinosaur hips, especially on bipedal dinosaurs such as Irritator. This problem turns them into essentially a brick, and you must rely on the action mechanism to get some sort of articulation out of it. The tail rotates at the base, but that bit of articulation is po…
