 This is horrible, Max! I'll wash my hands after this. Alright, Max! This is what you want? Go on then. Go on, just take it. Have fun. Enjoy. Welcome back to another episode of James & Box's Toys! And today, we've got a special sort of T-Rex. I know Mattel makes a lot of T-Rexes, and let's be honest. Turtle necks are quite the style. With the 30th anniversary that Mattel have done, they have also released something that kind of was in the initial release of the Kena Toys, that being a spiritual successor to the Red T-Rex from Jurassic Park, but presenting it is, of course, the beautiful assistant. No, that's the wrong one. No, no. It's funny. No, that's the wrong one. It's the one in the packaging. No, the one that's like 30 years old. Yeah, do you want it? Thank you, thank you. See what I have to work with here? Good work is hard to find. That's the one. Now, give it here. Give it. Hello! And here it is, the 30th. I think it is anniversary. Oh, maybe it's not the 30th anniversary. Well, they say up there, JP 30. They know what they're doing. The Red Tyrannosaurus. Go on. Do you need to do this? Do you need to do this? So what do we have? Of course, sporting the best Jurassic Park logo the franchise has ever seen. The yellow one doesn't get enough recognition. Sick of the red one. This one is perfection. Anyway, let's have a look. What do we get? Well, we have, I mean, we'll get into the T-Rex. We'll just look around the box. Of course, very reminiscent of the vintage red T-Rex. And of course, it is supposed to be as of now. If we look at the back as well, you've got a lovely sort of diorama, a spectacle picture of the T-Rex in action, which is of course what Kenne used to do. They used to have their action figures or the toy on the back of the box in an environment that the kid obviously wouldn't be able to recreate, but it just made it look cool. And really, a kid all needs is that to have the imagination to bring it to life. Real feel. And then in every other language under the sun, except for Japanese. That's where you put the... Realismo Electronico. I like that language. Whitney, oh, could you pass me the cereal? Oh, and I'd like to have it for breakfast. Oh, thank you. Oh. That's that's that language with the O again, isn't it? Everything with the O. But also at the bottom, you've got what is also in this set, this 30th anniversary that unfortunately, distribution in the UK, this is the only thing I could find. I would have bought the rest of the 30th anniversary if I could have. And I think Universal, oh, sorry, Mattel, have sent me that back in Japan, but I won't know until I get back. As well as seeing the other dinosaurs in this set sporting wonderful BDSM, the galamimus. He's got handcuffs on with his mouth muzzled and so is the dilophosaurus. Even the baby triceratops is getting in on that stuff. Anyway, enough of that. Let's take this Jurassic Park fossil out of the box. And here she is. Tell you what, it definitely feels different. Very different to what I'm used to. It's almost like it's not hard plastic. Oh, that's good. That's a nice, it's bendable. Oh my God. I didn't think it was bendable. I thought they would have just put rubber on top of solid plastic and be like, oh, well, there you go. But actually, wow, you can, oh no, you can't, can you? Oh, okay. I thought for a minute there, can you pose the tail a little bit? You can. It does actually have like joints in the tail. Oh, that's great. At least with the left and right, it seems to have some sort of staying power there. Right, what else we got? Have we opened the mouth? Can it eat things? Oh, it, they added the thing. Although, saying that, that is very small. I don't know what you're going to be able to put in there and then, but let's try it. Oh, and greedy. What about a Claire? You know what? Claire is the villain of the Jurassic World franchise. We may as well get Claire eaten. You almost had it. You almost didn't release the dinosaurs into the wild and then you let a stupid little British girl do it. Get in. Oh, that was way easier than I expected it to be. Well, how many Claire's can fit inside of the dressing party? So what can we do with the head? I mean, what do you not need to do? That's beautiful. I just hope that it's solid enough that in maybe a year or so's time or, you know, when a kid plays with it, it might as well be a year or so's time that the head doesn't get loose and sort of, I don't know, do some weird droopy thing. But this is amazing. It looks so good. Even down to the Everest spray on the bottom, are you electronic? Do you have the button on the top? But do you have multiple sounds? Okay, that's two. I'm waiting for that iconic one. I'm waiting for the... Well, it could be two. You know, after they destroyed the Ford Explorer 3.5 and it looks at the camera and goes... Well, that's close enough. I mean, I remember being a kid and I would have a dinosaur toy like this. I would wait for it to get to the good one and then, you know, when you're playing with it, then you do your... and it would do the good one. Gorgeous. This is top notch. I can't knock this at all. I mean, even at the side, I assume they still do it because there's that little app thing that you can do where you scan the dinosaurs and you've got it... Did they forget to put the scan code in my T-Rex? No. No, hold on. Hold on a minute here. Even though I bought the thing and remember it's facing this way, I think it was facing that way. I think it was facing that way. So there's no way of knowing if the scan code was in there, but I'm no expert. But that leg doesn't look like it ever had any adhesive stuck to it at all. Just as I was saying, it's flawless and I can't fault it. You can't make me fault it, Mattel. You make me do it, not me. I'm not that fussed about it. You know, I don't scan the toys. I'd rather sort of collect them. Also, you can make it do sort of these bits. So that's good. You're balancing it on a bit of an uneven surface. There's also a lock mechanism there. This brings up the question. I mean, it is technically the same sculpt as all the other T-Rexes that we've had in the past. It is beautiful. I love it. It roars. Even its arms have up-down and left and right motions. What would you call it? Points of articulation? Jesus, I've pulled that out from my head. I've been so long since I've done unboxing that. Yes, that is right. You've also got the hard plastic in the mouth as well. Love it. Right. Did it take so long to get this into production? You had the license since 2018 and it took you five years to get a rubber dinosaur toy. Let's compare it to the original. Well, 30-year-old. Wow. It's like, you know, you do have those throwback pictures of me 30 years ago, me now. Although, I'm kind of wondering whether the 30 years ago is better. You know, usually it's like an upgrade but nowadays, with toys, it's never usually an upgrade. But, I mean, its colors faded a little bit over time. Comparing the two, what can I say? Will he be a forever nostalgic fanboy or will he turn to the new leaf? Well, the answer. My charcut. I actually think this one's better. I know. Err, cancel him immediately. Let me explain why I actually think this one's better. For a start, you've got 30 years of innovation so it technically should be better, right? If you have a look at this, which is actually modeled on the Stan Winston McKet, this T-Rex right here, modeled from the one in the movie, even though that's the case. If you look at the head, it always looked a bit odd to me with the cheeks. There's always a bit of a gap here and that kind of needs to be just to make the toy work. Yes, you could do that. You could open the mouth, squeezing the neck, but it just always seemed a little bit off. It seemed like it was great up until it got to the head and then something wasn't right to me. Also, I mean, do you lift? Look at that widespread. He's ready to do some shoulder raises or God knows what. And they did keep it authentic because even the original Kenner from the 1990s didn't have its fingernails painted. So I can't really knock off any points for that because you didn't have them either. And not only that, but it has the colossal feature and it's basically just the bull T-Rex from the Lost World Kenner line because you can get stuff out from the bottom. It has so many extra features that this one didn't. And if I'm going to be honest, I would rather have a head and a neck so I can move in any rotation but also keep the mouth open at the same time. I could make it roar and go up and down like that with this guy. You have to squeeze the neck and then you're like, yeah. Basically, this T-Rex here, it doesn't seem really fair to compare it to this thing because there's just no competition really. This will always have a soft spot for me. There was a T-Rex that I never had as a kid, but I remember seeing it going, whoa, that thing looks amazing. The color scheme of it being red, maybe it's like the novel, maybe the novel T-Rex was more red, but Steven Spielberg decided to not make it red, which makes sense, I suppose, but realistic anyway. But this thing right here, I don't think I could have asked Mattel for a better thing. Even if they reproduced that exactly, I would say, well, because you've not done something different, but they've taken their T-Rex. There's no mistaking. You see this T-Rex, this headscope, this body, this ginormous feet, this thing did not have. So maybe Lewis points for that. Raise your tiny toes. If we're talking about my favorite T-Rex model ever, get rid of you. It's this thing. Now this was the improvement I felt of the old Jurassic Park T-Rex. This being the thrasher, or thresher, I don't even know what you call it really, T-Rex from Lost World. You could shake its head, it could keep its jaw open, and then a mechanic so it could bite, even though it kind of doesn't really work now. Its paint scheme was beautiful. I don't think there's a comparison we made. This thing is still 10 times better. I don't care if this thing can eat and then take things out of it. I've got nostalgic, and not only that, but its fingernails are even painted. Can't argue with that, can we? So in conclusion, how does it compare as a product on itself or even comparing it to, you know, its predecessor, what it's based on? I can say hands down without a shadow of a doubt, including all the T-Rexes on the box on the channel. This one is by far the better. Whether you're a fan of this old one or not, this one takes everything that made that one great and turns it into something new and better and keeps all of the style and everything that Mattel gives us these days. I can't fault it. And if you too have enjoyed this video, like I have actually, this has been a load of fun to unbox this one. If you have enjoyed this video, leave a like and until next time, I'll see you later. Bye-bye! Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!
