The second action feature concerns the head. A nice system, except the capture gear occasionally slips loose on its own accord, partially because the Rex’s arms get in its way. Activating the thrashing action now causes the creature to shake off its gear, save for the part clasped around its belly. The pieces can be attached together forming a sort of harness around the dinosaur’s upper body (from head to midsection, strangely enough not restraining its legs so it can merrily scurry off when it feels like doing so). Together with the four pieces of capture gear this makes for a cool dinosaur-breaks-free-of-restraints action as well. Gripping the tail and moving it back and right makes the upper body, particularly the head, move as well, as if the animal is violently shaking its ferocious body about. The first feature is the thrashing action, which of course gave this figure it’s nickname ‘Thrasher’. Furthermore they added two neat action features, both of them original and well designed. Instead, they opted for playability instead, providing this figure with poseable legs which distinctly sets it apart from about every other larger dinosaur figure of both the JP and TLW lines. Since the other large Rex figure, the Bull T-Rex, was already electronic, the designers apparently didn’t think it necessary to equip the Thrasher with electronic sounds or actions too. And this wonderful Thrasher T-Rex did turn out to be a great sculpt, one of the best figures of all the toy lines. We can only applaud this smart move, since two figures means more possibilities to experiment with action features, as well as a bigger chance at least one of them turns out alright. Via the thrashing action this beast can free itself from these restraints.Īnalysis: inspired by the appearance of two adult Tyrannosaurs in the TLW movie, Kenner produced two very different large T-Rex models for this toy line. Together, these pieces form a harness strapped around the creature’s upper body and keeping its jaws closed. This Rex comes with four pieces of capture gear, all sporting a shiny metallic silver paint job. It has yellow eyes, and on its right upper leg a large black JP: Site B logo can be found, with the number. The Rex has a pink tongue with the inner parts of the mouth coloured in a similar pink. The underside of the animal (belly, lower part of the tail, throat and lower jaw, as well as the inner parts of the limbs) are painted white. In between the grey and black there’s a green hue, found very faintly on its back and tail, and most notably on the upper legs. The claws on its fingers and toes are also black. Additionally, black stripes can be found on the upper legs and feet. A large black stripe is running all the way from the nose to the very end of the tail, with smaller black stripes running out of this stripe over the sides of the neck, head and tail. Most of this figure is coloured in a sort of greenish grey, which is found on the upper part of the head, the flanks, the sides of the tail and neck, and in a somewhat lighter tone on most of the legs and arms. Second, a biting action: when the mouth is opened wide, pressing the tongue makes the jaws close in a snapping way, as if chewing on an unfortunate victim. First, a thrashing action: moving the tail left and right makes the head move in the same directions. The dinosaur has two different attack options. Like the good old large JPS1/2 dinosaur figures, this animal has soft skin, giving it a more realistic feel (at least, insofar as there can be realism in regard to a creature that has been extinct for 65 million years). It stands in a totally neutral pose, though its tail may be bent somewhat due to the way this figure is packaged in its box, with its tail in about a 100 degree angle (a shame, but understandable considering how much room this saves). Language variation: An European language variation exists, as seen here.ĭescription: being one of the largest dinosaur figures of all toy lines (though not as stupendously huge as the other big Rex of this line, the Bull T-Rex) this toy measures a good 50 centimetres in length. The ordinary one (common) and the rare horizontal one. Variations: This figure has two different packaging variations. Dino-Strike thrashing action breaks free from restraint gear (4pcs). Action feature: Move tail side to side to move make head thrash.
