DESTROY 'N DEVOUR INDOMINUS REX

Where do I even start? Mattel's been killing it with the Jurassic World license for a full year now (minus a few..."mehh" figures here and there, I personally don't care for the excessive repacks and repaints)..BUT..their Indominus Rex is on a whole other level of their Jurassic dinosaur craftsmanship. Jurassic World is creeping up on its 4 year anniversary and I couldn't have asked for a better way to honor it by getting this in hand as of yesterday. Kinda feels back a payback for old memories. I remember buying the Hasbro one the week before the movie's release, and how I'll always remember how underwhelming it was. It was so wonky and disproportionate and couldn't stand on it's own. I threw it in my closet and forgot about it shortly after. Every time I tried to like it, I just couldn't get past how out of place it looked next to the old Kenner line and new Mattel offerings. I got rid of it last summer because I had faith Mattel would eventually make one, and make it right. It took almost a year, but it was definitely worth the wait. So here's my review: Packaging: Standard Dino Rivals packaging, only this one has a render of the Indominus Rex in place of the usual triceratops. The unique thing about this packaging is it came with a plastic tab that I had to remove from the dinosaur before it made sounds. Otherwise, nothing much new here. Sculpt: This is without a doubt the most accurate representation of the Indominus Rex we've received in toy form. It looks like it came right out of the film, every scale, bump and spike you could want is there - this thing has detail for days. The head sculpt is ON POINT - not to mention, she has nice hard plastic individually sculpted TEETH!! No rounded off rubber chunks or lazily painted nubs! It's the real deal. Her feet are a tad large, but it supports the action feature, and the tail could be an inch or two longer. I would have also preferred the arm quills to be a bit more pronounced like her neck quills are. But these are minor nitpicks, nothing that distracts from her greatness. Paint: Mattel nailed the simplicity of the Indominus Rex's iconic white skin without making it boring to look at. And that's hard to do. There's subtle shades of grey along the back and darker tones on the face and around the skull sockets to make the eyes pop. The eyes aren't too bad but leave some contrast to be desired. The feet claws are painted with a nice gloss but the hand claws aren't for some reason. Nothing that can't be fixed with some acrylics. Oh and let's give an applause for individually painted teeth! Action feature: I'm having a blast with this. There's two buttons; the first one on her back triggers a slashing action with her claws similar to the grab n' growl Indoraptor. The other one on the base of the tail opens her mouth and activates the iconic roar. She has three roars and one of them triggers the light inside the throat. Similar to the Thrash n' Throw T rex, you can maneuver her around with the tail and grab smaller dinosaurs or people and swallow them whole. But I think this accomplishes that better than the TnT Rex. She's not too horribly articulated other than the basic articulation points the other therapods in the line have. She does have poseable elbow joints, though I would have liked articulated wrists like the Indoraptor has too, but it's not a big deal. As a bonus, her mouth can open wide enough to bite the gyrosphere from the Claire story pack, just how the movie scene looks. But don't count on trying pick it up with the action feature. It can't go that far, unfortunately. Overall: This toy may be 4 years overdue, but all things considered this is the Indominus Rex toy us Jurassic fans deserve and more. Beautiful sculpt, great action features, and she absolutely dwarfs the other figures in the line. I have a scale photo with the Thrash n Throw, the new savage strike Blue and Owen and Claire for reference. Everything about it is so classic for a JP/ JW dinosaur toy that it even outshines Kenner in some areas. I think this just about nearly cleans up the mess Hasbro made with their disastrous Jurassic World toyline. I can't stress how much this toy does the Indominus Rex the justice it desperately deserved. I hope Mattel is proud and can release more dinosaurs like this in their future waves.

Bought this as a collector's piece and I was not disappointed! Figure is pretty light weight, as is the plastic it's made from, but other than that it has held up well. Sculpt is gorgeous and very accurate, besides a shortened tail but it still looks great. An amazing figure that makes me wish I had it when I was a kid discovering Jurassic Park for the first time! The figure offers 3 main features, it can swallow figures which then trigger a light in the neck to illuminate and allow you to see the silhouette of what she had just "eaten." The mouth opens pretty wide and has a decent "bite force," and the button that causes the mouth to open also causes the dino to roar her signature sound from Jurassic World. Last, there's another button that makes the arms move back and forth as if she is picking something up or slashing at something. Overall, great playability as well as a beautiful piece for collectors/fans of Jurassic Park.

Es más grande de lo que esperaba, buen material, lindos detalles en relieve, tiene movilidad para que se pueda jugar sin problemas.

My son is in love with the toy

The detailing on this figure is tremendous. It's big and imposing, as the Indominus Rex ought to be. The action feature is really cool. It can be tough to successfully pick up the Jurassic World humans this toy is meant to eat, but it's really satisfying to pull off, almost like winning a crane game. The sound is high quality - if you were expecting it to sound like the kinda fuzzy and muffled noises the Roarivores make with their cheaper speakers, think again. The light-up throat is cool, though in practice it doesn't often actually pull off the desired effect of showing the shadow of the figure that has been eaten, because the figure lies on the bottom of the throat and the lights are focused on the top and middle. Not a big deal. I would have preferred more posability, but the way the action feature is designed kind of prevents that. Perhaps down the line we'll get an Extreme Chompin' Indominus Rex or something along those lines that lacks the play features in favor of being highly posable. Another more serious problem was that within five minutes of taking this figure out of the packaging I accidentally snapped off an arm at the elbow while trying out the articulation. I contacted Mattel and they were quick to send me a replacement for free, so now I have two Indominus Rexes, one minus an arm. Great customer service, but a warning to be gentle when posing the arms. The rest of the figure seems sturdy. Overall, a fun toy sure to delight dinosaur-loving children, and it's easily the nicest-looking Indominus Rex ever made so collectors will also love it as a display piece.

My 5 yr old loves this thing. I have had fun playing dinosaurs with him. I love the detail and movement with this one. The neck lighting up is awesome. Great addition to the rest of my sons dinosaurs family. By far the best one produced.. well worth the money and came pre ordered a few days before his birthday so this was the favorite gift. Update- the tail push piece that makes it roar has since broken. Return window closed July 9th cause of the early preorder even though the item showed up July 3rd. Needless to say I’m a very angry mom with a 5yr old that is pissed his toy broke already! What is the seller going to do about this problem lots of people are having???

Increíble la calidad

Ela é perfeita, comprei com um pouco de dúvidas, mas é maravilhosa, superou minhas expectativas... É original para quem tem dúvidas que nem eu tive, dou a certeza que o produto é de ótima qualidade, faz os sons e mexe a boca e os braços.

Min son är supernöjd, den rör sig bra och låter. Han har önskat sig denna länge.

考えていたとおりの商品でした。 ありがとうございました。

Por fin, después de esperar largamente a que tuviese un precio más ventajoso, hice la compra por el equivalente a 30 USD, y ya lo tengo en mis manos; listo para entregárselo al destinatario final: mi nieto. Es un juguete impresionante aunque, por su escala, no encajará en la colección de dinosaurios que él tiene. Era unos tres metros más largo que el Tiranosaurio pero en la colección se verá gigantesco. Salvo esa particularidad, el Indominus Rex es realmente impactante. Es una figura con muchos y muy finos detalles que merece coleccionarse. Hay algo que me inquieta: no sé que tan adecuado sea para un niño, que su dinosaurio pueda "devorar" a sus otros juguetes, pero es una de sus características intrínsecas. El pero: no me gustó que tuviera luces en el cuerpo. A pesar de que es un animal ficticio, en la película no tenía luces integradas. Los dinosaurios que tiene mi nieto -todos de esta marca- tienen algunos artilugios tecnológicos como gruñidos, articulaciones con movimiento o mandíbulas capaces de morder, pero son todos compatibles con la posible apariencia real que debieron tener estos extintos animales. Pero ¿luces dentro del cuerpo? Sólo me queda esperar que la Ley de Murphy haga su trabajo y arruine el circuito de iluminación, por lo cual no levantaré reclamación alguna. Aunque bueno, falta la opinión de su futuro dueño. Por lo tanto, recomiendo la compra de esta figura, que actualmente está en un muy buen precio, muy lejos de los $2200 en que llegó a cotizarse.

My nephew loved it
