The cool thing about this line is that Hasbro gave us a variety of dinosaurs, mostly theropods, and Allosaurus here is a pleasant surprise. But how does it stack up with the others? Let's find out!
The second wave consisted of two dinosaurs: Pachycephalosaurus and Allosaurus. Notice anything similar about the two? Hint, they're both yellow.
Well, time to nit-pick it. The tarsals and metatarsals are all wrong as they are depicted in different lengths. If this dinosaur was standing normally, one leg would be longer than the other. Hands in the incorrect old fashioned position, really curvy tail...It's just a mess of a figure. Not as bad as Spinosaurus, but pretty bad. The colors don't make the mold stand out, but that's a recurring theme across this line.
For this picture I manually opened the jaw to get it to the biggest angle, because upon pulling the tail down...
...this is as wide as the mouth opens. Pretty pathetic, or maybe mine is flawed.
There it is compared to other Jurassic Park Allosaurs and with Papo Allosaurus, which clearly inspired this mold. Now, the 2012 Allosaurus (the blue one) is one of the best Jurassic Park figures ever released. Same goes with the Lost World Allosaurus. Why did they not give us that quality back?
Again, you vote with your wallet. But this figure is not as easy to find like the others... Anyways there you have it. Take it or leave it.
