Hasbro Jurassic World - Legacy Collection Apatosaurus (GWT48)

Product Information

Our understanding of dinosaur behaviour is mostly speculation. Don’t forget, all we have to go on are the fossilised remains of species that lived hundreds of millions of years ago! Apatosaurus was a huge sauropod dinosaur that lived in the Late Jurassic period. It was a plant-eater, and a member of the Diplodocidae family.

First appearing in the Late Triassic Epoch, sauropods were widespread by the late Jurassic Epcoh (150 million years ago). However, by the late Cretaceous, most of these large dinosaurs had disappeared and had been replaced by other species.

Scientists have estimated that Apatosaurus had a lifespan of over 100 years. When Did Apatosaurus Live? Like cows today, Apatosaurus would likely have used microbes in the gut to aid digestion. This would have resulted in the production of methane, a greenhouse gas, just like commercial cattle do in the modern world. Examples of the poor sculpts are: Spinosaurus, Parasaurolophus and Pachycephalosaurus which unlike the above listed figures, do not actually match their on-screen counterparts and have a lot of the stylistic stamps of the artist responsible for designing many of the non-cannon dinosaurs.Like cattle, Apatosaurus would have produced large amounts of methane and this would have affected the Late Jurassic climate.

Despite its peg-shaped teeth, Apatosaurus would often swallow food whole. It would eat stones to aid digestion, as they would grind up food in the stomach. It may seem like I’m being overly critical of this toy but honestly, if I didn’t like it then I wouldn’t have bought it. I don’t find the toy as aesthetically pleasing, lifelike, or as well proportioned as the Mattel Brachiosaurus but both toys are designed to look like their on-screen counterparts, and I just prefer the Jurassic Park Brachiosaurus over the Jurassic World Apatosaurus. Mattel has done a fantastic job of bringing the Jurassic World Apatosaurus to life and for fans of that movie, this is a must have. Although the Apatosaurus doesn’t resonate much with me, it does play a pivotal and touching role in Jurassic World that resonated with other collectors. While not the largest Sauropod, Apatosaurus was still one of the biggest dinosaurs of its time. Apatosaurus Size Apatosaurus Facts For Kids: Size ChartApatosaurus lived in the Late Jurassic Epoch of the Jurassic Period, about 150 million years ago. It shared this time period with other well-known dinosaurs such as the Stegosaurus. Flying reptiles called Pterosaurs would have filled the skies. The largest carnivore at the time was Allosaurus. Allosaurus looked similar to the infamous Tyrannosaurus but was smaller and had longer forearms than its famous cousin. Apatosaurus was between 21 and 23 meters (69 to 75ft) from nose to tail. It stood around 4.6 metres (15 ft.) tall at the shoulders. For instance, while Apatosaurus may have lived in herds like many of today’s large herbivores, most Apatosaurus remains have been found on their own. It may have lived a solitary existence.

It has now been two years since Mattel released their Legacy Collection Brachiosaurus, a highly anticipated toy that fans had been pining for since 1993. During much of that time between then and now people had wondered, “will we get an Apatosaurus too?” In my mind the likelihood of Mattel making an Apatosaurus was directly tied to how well the Brachiosaurus sold upon its release and I suppose the Brachiosaurus must have sold well, because Mattel has indeed given us an Apatosaurus. I’m not going to open this review with a nostalgic preamble like I did for the Brachiosaurus though, because, well, the Apatosaurus just doesn’t hit me the same way. Jurassic World didn’t resonate with me like Jurassic Park did, in fact, few movies do. I wasn’t even sure that I was going to get the Apatosaurus at all because I’m not much of a fan of the movie’s design for the animal. But having now reviewed two other enormous sauropod toys I also felt obligated to get this one and give it a fair shake. Could Mattel capture lightening in a bottle twice? Let’s find out. DETAILED AND REALISTIC??Each piece of Higherbros‘s action figure is hand crafted with precision and authentic detail and has its own character. They all have lifelike appearances, every detail trying to reproduce the features of a real dinosaur.One of these adaptations was having a spine that was made up of hollow bones like those found in birds. This helped to reduce its weight. The Apatosaurus toy not only sparks children's curiosity about dinosaurs but also provides them with an opportunity to learn. Through interactive play, children can engage in imaginative scenarios, create their own prehistoric adventures, and develop their knowledge of paleontology. They can delve into discussions about the Apatosaurus' habitat, eating habits, and its place within the ecosystem, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world.
