rex, I view them as models rather then true toys, which is what I view this one as. In other words, while I love my Feathered T. Built to handle fairly rough play, movable legs, arms, tail, and lower jaw, the ability to eat other smaller toys. rex toy that makes no question about it being a toy. rex, which comes across as more of a work of art or a museum quality piece you’d see next to Sue, AMNH 5027, Stan, Scotty or whatever famous T. rex and while I love them, I consider them to be a bit too well made to be played with, especially the Feathered T. Now I know that’s a loaded statement, but let me explain. In fact, I consider this a better toy then the Wild Safari Feathered T. rex from Hasbro as well-in terms of overall quality and playability. rexes-and we honestly should throw in the 2009 retooled Bull T.

I honestly think that this rivals the Kenner T. Retailing around $55 USD, the price of this toy is high but not “colossal.” The Super Colossal Tyrannosaurus rex is definitely worth the purchase for any child who loves dinosaurs, or the JP nut who has to have every T. rex figure that can take on the horrendous Indominus rex figure from the last film. And the best part is that we finally have a T. Joe, Star Wars figure, Minion, Smurf, Thomas the Tank Engine trains (wooden railway and smaller), large quantities of marbles, gobs of LEGO. The design is basic, but if the size doesn’t bother you, it is an attention-grabbing toy that can gobble up almost any JW mercenary, G.I. Additionally, it has no electronic sounds nor does it have any action features, such as pressing a button or rotating an appendage to make it kick or snap its jaws. rex‘s greatest features (its size!) is also its primary shortcoming, only in that it is not really to scale with any of the other JP/JW figures or vehicles. The tail is on a ball and socket joint, but can mostly just move side-to-side, not up-and-down. The body can rotate (if the legs are in a fixed position), so the dinosaur can essentially tilt upward, be posed in the horizontal “normal” position, or lean downward (to eat tiny dinosaurs!). The articulation in the arms and legs is also basic, just allowing forward-backward motion. The paint scheme is basic and not very detailed, but this toy is probably designed for some rough play, not as a high-quality model. rexes, and also for added stability for a VERY large, bipedal standing figure. The legs are massive, along with the oversized feet, although this is the general design of JP T.

The body is mostly hard plastic, although the tail, neck, part of the head, and jaws have the softer “real-feel” scaly plastic texture. So while it is designed for the JW brand miniatures and the blind bag dinosaurs, any toy that can fit down the throat can be fed to this giant dinosaur, including JP/JW brand human figures. This hatch has an irregular shape, but the opening is approximately 1.5 inches wide by 3 inches. The “eaten” toys can be retrieved by a little hatch on the belly between the legs. The jaws open extra wide to reveal a nearly hollow “gullet” that is approximately 1.5 inches wide by 2 inches tall. rex is in a class of its own.Īlong with being super-sized, the main interactive feature of the colossal Rex is that you can feed it up to 26 mini dinosaurs (sold separately in the same toy line). So before you purchase this figure, make sure you have enough toy box space if this is for a child, or you have cleared a whole shelf if it’s for your own collection. In its most upright stance with the jaws open, it is nearly 2 ft tall. Mattel advertises this big guy (or gal, I suppose, if it is supposed to be “Rexy”) as being 3 feet in length, and they are not kidding. rex action figure ever, at least to my knowledge. This is the Super COLOSSAL Tyrannosaurus rex! This isn’t your normal Tyrannosaurus rex. Review and Photographs by Cretaceous Crab, edited by Suspsy
