The infamous S&S T.rex! This toy has divided a lot of fans. Some say it's a terrible toy, some say it's a fun toy. I say it's just a toy, with more flaws than not. But this is the T.rex from Isla Nublar! A legend in her own right. But will she make the cut in your collection?
If you're going to buy it, make sure she's being displayed the way it is in the first picture, because on her left side she is riddled with screw-holes. It looks absolutely terrible! They should have covered them somehow. Also, don't be fooled by the leg joints. They are not for walking, they are for stomping. Legs will not moved independently from one another. When it stomps, it makes a stomping sound. Moving the body up by putting the base of the tail down, she will roar, and pulling her tail up, body down causes her to close her mouth and snarl.
Many fans have been complaining about how the soft covering of the neck and the tail are peeling. This toy was obviously not meant for harsh play...except it was. The design and execution is definitely sub-par, and it's going to break. It also cannot stand despite her huge clown feet, as the weight is not evenly distributed throughout the body.
This photo was really hard to take, and she kept falling over. She also feels hollow, and her paint is really pathetic.
Fans have also reported broken T.rexes with falling arms out of the box. OUT OF THE BOX. The only reason why ANYONE would get this dinosaur at some point is because well...she's the Jurassic Park/World T.rex. It's very hard to give an unbiased opinion when this toy is so flimsily made, fragile and not fun. It's not fun because I'm always making sure her tail and neck aren't peeling and that she hasn't tipped over.
Purchase at your own risk, and tell Hasbro to seriously get their s#1t together because this IS the most eagerly anticipated toy from the line, and this... well, we deserve better. And the worst part is that it doesn't end here. But this is why I've started by reviewing the worst toys of this line first, because believe me when I say that it does get better...just not by a lot. :/
"IAN! FREEZE!!!" "GRAARGH!!" "GET THE KIDS!!" "THROW THE FLARE" "GET THE KIDS!" "GRAAAAARGH!!!"
