If you are a fan of the Jurassic World franchise or have a young dinosaur enthusiast at home, you’ll want to check out this Super Colossal Mosasaur by Mattel.
While photos and videos are great, they don’t quite do justice to how impressive this figure is in person. Here is a breakdown of why this massive marine reptile is a must-have for any collection.
The Real Feel
One of the standout features of this Mosasaur is the “Real Feel” rubberized skin. For long-time collectors, this is a fantastic callback to classic dinosaur toys of the past. Mattel moved away from this texture for a while, but its return here makes the toy feel premium and realistic. When you run your hands over the scales, it feels less like hard plastic and more like a living creature, a cool mix of crocodile and shark textures.
Articulation and Detail
The Mosasaur is built for play. Each of its four fins moves independently, and the mouth opens wide enough to “snack” on smaller human action figures. While it doesn’t have a hollow gullet for swallowing toys whole, you can easily fit a figure inside its jaws for some movie-inspired mayhem.
The tail also features great articulation. It seems to have a wire or metal core inside, allowing you to bend and pose it to create a sense of swimming motion.
Ready for the Pool
One of the best “hidden” features is what the toy doesn’t have: electronics. Because there are no battery compartments or sound chips, this Mosasaur appears to be fully submersible. This makes it the ultimate bath or pool toy. Imagine recreating the iconic lagoon scenes from the movie right in your own backyard!
The Verdict
The Super Colossal Mosasaur is a rare toy that balances collector-level detail with rugged play durability. Whether you’re displaying it on a shelf or taking it for a dip in the pool with your kids, it’s a great addition to Mattel’s current lineup!
