I wrote most of this in 2018. Well, time to publish it.

Mattel Jurassic World Mosasaurus Action FigureWhen we got our first look at Jurassic World toys, Mattel pointed out this had "real feel" skin. In the 1990s, Kenner made a big fuss over its rubbery skin on the toys from the first and second movies, and that all went away for the later films from Kenner and Hasbro. Mattel brought it back for the Mosasaurus, a massive creature over two feet long with a bent tail that you can use to prop her up to look like she's hopping out of the water to grab a shark from a crane. They did a nice job here, and it was a successful enough toy that it kept getting updated with new deco and packaging every few years. There's even a recycled plastic "ocean protector" version over at Amazon and elsewhere which is cheaper, but I admit I had no reason to buy it. I've got the original already.

Some assembly is required - each flipper clicks in place, and one of them was kind of hard to get in there just right. The jaw opens, and each flipper can rotate and bend in one place. The tail snaps in place and does not move.

The mostly hollow figure has a great weird squishy body, and that's unlike anything else I've seen in recent years. The head is a bit stiffer, with a lower jaw that is not "real feel." It opens and shows a lot of teeth and a tongue inside. While huge, there's no room to store figures in here like the Super Colossal Tyrannosaurus Rex [FOTD #1,950].

There are rows of bumps on the back like modern reptiles, two nostrils on the top of the head, tiny yellow eyes, and a big tail with no fluke. It's a pretty cool movie monster, and it took tremendous courage or obliviousness for Mattel to put out a dinosaur toy of a generally unproven creature as one of its biggest toys in the line. Sea dinosaurs are far and few between in the world of toys, so I was thrilled to see this big one coming to toy store shelves. What's more, Mattel made it so you can orient the box vertically or horizontally.

Hasbro made a smaller Mosasaurus, and so did Takara-Tomy as part of its Ania line. But this is the big one - and it's impressive in size, but it's tough to display because it takes a lot of space on a shelf. I like it, but I don't know where it's going to live now that it's in my home. I love it, the sculpted texture is amazing, and it's one of the larger action toys you can pick up right now. Be prepared to carry it around like it's swimming, and also know that it doesn't really fit on most bookshelves very well. Mine has been hanging out in my photo studio since 2018, as I don't know where else to put her. I like it, but bigger toys in awkward shapes feel less like a joy and more like a burden as time goes on.
