![]() The jaws open wide, the head raises and lowers, the arms and legs rotate, and the tail rotates too, although there’s really no point to doing so, as it looks pretty bad. The Herrerasaurus is sculpted with its right leg forward and its tail curled to the left. ![]() Certainly gives this animal a menacing appearance. It also would’ve been nice if the underbelly had some colour to it, but on the whole, this isn’t a bad look. As with most JW dinosaurs, the claws have been left unpainted. Its main colour is dark red with dull purple markings on the back, orange eyes, a magenta tongue, and white teeth. I’ll readily admit that I’ve largely ignored the JW:FK line due to limited collection space and limited funds that I’d much rather spend on CollectA, PNSO, and Safari products, but having never reviewed or even owned a Herrerasaurus toy before, I figured I’d snap this one up.Īt slightly over 17 cm in length, this toy is at the smaller end of the Mattel range. Not only have they produced impressive toys of the main movie dinosaurs, they’ve made sure to do some more obscure species like Minmi, Monolophosaurus, and this Herrerasaurus. With a mouthful of savage teeth, sharp claws, and a maximum size of six meters in length and 350 kg in mass, it would have been able to give any raptor short of Achillobator, Dakotaraptor, and Utahraptor a run for its money!Īs I noted last year in my Ceratosaurus review, Mattel’s terrific handling of the Jurassic World license really has put Hasbro to utter shame. For now, it appears to be a very primitive member of the theropod clan. ![]() Although it was clearly a carnivore, there has been much debate over which family of archosaurs it should be placed in. One of the earliest known dinosaurs is Herrerasaurus, a denizen of Triassic South America more than 230 million years ago.
