Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Battle Damage Herrerasaurus

The mainstream Mattel line has several sublines, one being the Battla Damage series, which seem to be exclusive to Wal-Mart stores. The gimmick here is - you guessed it - the return of dino damage!

The box is a open try-me package like the Roarivore's box, but much smaller. Once you see it, you will be impressed at how small this dinosaur is.

At 8 inches long and 3 inches tall, the olive green and reddish brown Herrerasaurus, is well sculpted but horribly inaccurate. Herrerasaurus had five digits on both the feet and the hands. The hands are sculpted wrong with four digits and all in the wrong lengths, and the feet don't have digits I and V. The tail is kind of short. I am not sure if this animal is in the movie, but it looks a lot like the one in Jurassic Park: The game. Another Herrerasaurus without the dino damage will be released as well.

I do like it that the hands are not pronated.

Posed in a stalking manner, Herrerasaurus has six points of articulation: Ball jointed hips and shoulders, hinged neck and lower jaw.

As it is tradition with the new dinosaurs, the Jurassic logo is on the right foot, and the code sticker for the Jurassic World Facts app is on the left foot.

The battle damage is different than previous dino damage gimmicks. Instead of being a door panel as seen with the Jurassic World dinosaurs, this is a circular barrel that once pushed in, the skin bit rolls inside, revealing musculature. It is not trigger happy as it was with the Jurassic World figures, and it is just a much better feature.

The figure is disappointingly small in relation to Kenner's humans and even kind of small for Jurassic World humans. Herrerasaurus was rather large in real life.

It's about the same length as a Sprinter Coelophysis.

And here it is with the equally pathetic Schleich Herrerasaurus. While they are both fun toys, and while they sort of represent Herrerasaurus, they're...just...not accurate. Heck, the Schleich Herrerasaurus make a better JP The Game than this one. As I said, another Herrerasaurus will be released. Recommended for kids and completists.
