Hello, folks! How do you do? I'm Hector Reyes, Cinefilo Incurable,
and today i'm very excited
because in this video from my Mattel's
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom unboxing series
I'm going to talk about two of the three Tyrannosaurs for this collection.
One of them is the Thrash n' Throw Tyrannosaurus Rex,
whichs is, um, the big Tyrannosaur,
we can say it's more or less in scale
with the collection's human figures;
and the other one is the smaller Tyrannosaur,
the Extreme Chompin' Tyrannosaurus Rex.
There's still one Tyrannosaur left,
the Super Colossal Tyrannosaurus Rex,
which is almost 3 feet long, but which I haven't been able
to find yet.
So, for the time being, let´s unleash these two
Tyrannosaurs to see how do we like the figures.
But before, do't forget to visit my blog,
cinefiloincurable.com, where you'll find old
and new movies' reviews.
And let´s unleash these Tyrannosaurs!
Let's start the unboxing
for this Tyrannosaur,
Extreme Chompin' Tyrannosaurus Rex.
This toy was released
exclusively for the Legacy Collection line in the US,
which is exclusive for Target stores,
I don't know about other countires, but in Mexico
is part of the regular Jurassic World:
Fallen Kingdom collection.
So we can say that this is
the firs Jurassic Park movie's Tyrannosaur.
Let´s take off
the bindings.
Now, something important to note
is that, um,
the packaed is made in such a way
that it basically has to be destroyed
in order to take out the dinosaur.
Above all, be careful with
the feet. It comes with a couple
of... um...
plastic pegs that keep
the feet fasten in their place and which
one can´t take out unless rotating
the feet in the right direction.
I have something to confess: This one is not
my first Extreme Chompin' T-Rex...
Please note that the tail
can only be assembled once, meaning
once it's in its place it can´t
be dettached from dinosaur's body, which
basically makes it impossible
to store the dinosaur inside its original
package again.
But, well, here we go...
In general this Tyrannosaur figure
is pretty pretty good,
I like the sculpture a lot;
Theree was a lot of people who
didn't like this neck articulation,
in fact there were a lot of jokes on the Internet
about it looking like foreskin,
I don't, know.
Neck is super articulated,
its articulated at two points, which allows
a very wide range of movement.
We have this ball joint
at the shoulders,
ball joint at the hips,
pivot articulation
at the ankles,
and a very complex joint
at the tail. Basically
it's a ball joint.
And the tip of the tail is made from other material,
it´s a more flexible
plastic.
This Tyrannosaurus is not electronic,
it has a special play action
which is a bite,
but it makes no saound.
By pressing this button
in the neck, in the back of the head, actually,
Tyrannosaur opens its jaws
and by releasing it,
it closes them.
"Hello, Claire,
I'm a Tyrannosaur, I want to eat you!"
Then let's open up
the Thrash n' Throw Tyrannosaurus.
This Tyrannosaur is a bit
too big
in scale with 3 3/4" figures,
so we have, as in Kenner times,
a big Tyrannosaur and a small Tyrannosaur.
Now, this Tyrannosaur
is articulated at the arms,
it's a pivot joint,
it has ball joint at the hip,
pivot joint at the ankles,
and a ball joint at the tail;
actually these are the only joints
we can operate in the dinosaur,
though it has more articulations,
these are activated by the tail mechanism
we're going to see next. This Tyrannosaur
has the classic stomping sound
that Jurassic Park's Tyrannosaurus have had,
thanks to a button it has in the sole of its paw.
And then we have what would be
the main play action for this dinosaur,
which is very similar to
what Thrasher T-Rex figure from The Lost World
by Kenner in '97 did.
Using the Tyrannosaur tail we can make it bite downwards,
then rise and jolt its prey,
and finally roar triumphant.
