Schleich Large Realistic Tyrannosaurus Rex Dinosaur Figurine, Durable Detail for Education and Fun for Boys and Girls, Gift for Kids Ages 4+

I was on the market for a realistic looking T-Rex for my daughter's 3rd birthday. I wanted something I could use for a cake topper and then as a toy afterwards. While she is only two she is more into the realistic Jurassic dinosaurs then the cutesie ones. I've purchased several different brands and sizes of T-Rexes for my daughter and it is by far the best one that I've purchased. I highly reccomend Schleich. I definitely plan on purchasing more!Pros:Incredibly detailed, thus more realistic than most other T-Rexes that I've purchased.Great size, much larger than most T-Rexes that I've purchased and it is sturdy while not being too heavy for little hands.Built well but there are still no jagged edges that may hurt your little ones .Worked incredibly well for a cake topper for my daughte'rs 3rd Birthday I used a small 6 inch two tier cake so that the dinosaur was highlighted. It was actually so big that by the end of the party it had nose dived into the cake!The jaw is mobile. You can open and close it which is fun.Realistic enough for a kiddos or an adult who loves or collects dinosaurs.Cons:There aren't really any cons. The only thing that is somewhat of a con is the price of $22 is much higher than other T-Rex toys but I'm a believer in, you get what you pay for. You won't be dissapointed with this dinosaur. I actually saw that the price dropped and I just purchased another one to have on standby.If you're a dinosaur lover...even if you aren't a kid I think this is a fantastic T-Rex. I can't wait to purchase more of Schleich's other dinosaurs.

My Grandson LOVES these dinosaurs 🦕. He LOVES EVERY ONE. I think we own at least 100+ dinosaurs 🦕. This Brand is PHENOMENAL!! SO Realistic!! Some even have movable jaws & posable CLAWS when appropriate. Very Sturdy! You won't be disappointed purchasing anything from this Brand 👍👍

I wish I could it give 6 stars. This is an all around great toy for so many different reasons for one it's very realistic which grabs my toddlers attention, it's made very well it's not like a cheap low quality toy, and I love the fact that it is just simply a dinosaur. No frills no lights no sounds just a dinosaur. It inspires my toddler use his imagination more. Now he wants to bring the T. rex everywhere with him. It's awesome too becaus you can get it wet/messy if you are doing sensory activities. Getting this simple toy has also made me and my toddler study about dinosaurs and we end up talking about t rexes, paleontology, fossils, what t rexes eat, how they lived etc. I also bought him the Schliech triserotops and he makes his dinosaurs have little conversations, it's so cute. I love how this toy is so good looking, teaches them science, and encourages imagination. Well done. I will definitely be getting more dinosaurs in the future!

I was very impressed at the quality of this Schleich T-Rex. The Lego mini-figure in the pic is to show scale. The mouth of the T-Rex opens and closes. The detail on it is very impressive, and it is a good size too. It’s not too small, and not too big. I can’t praise this toy enough.

Heavyweight realistic looking toy… It should last a lifetime.

Pros: WOW this dino stands on two feet, is big (approximately 11 long x 5 tall x 3 wide), and more impressive than I thought it would be. Great coloring and VERY engaging - you actually feel like it could come alive and bite you! Also has a touch of cuteness to it in a birdlike way. Ended up being my son's favorite dino because he loved the persoanlity.Cons: In order for the model to stand on only two feet, I think they shortened its tail from its real length. Also it has a movable jaw to chomp everything - which sounds nice until you realize such things can break. I would be gentle on the jaw to ensure it lasts. The biggest issue for me, was that its size is significantly greater than the other dinos by this same maker that I already owned. I really think the company needs to work on accurate sizing between dino species. As a side issue, most of the sauropods related to the T-Rex have been revealed in the fossil record to have feathers - it seems pretty likely that the T-Rex did as well and I want to see models with feathers ;-)Comparative Size: Below is the link to the stegosaurus I bought = in reality the stegosarus and T-Rex were nearly the same height through the T-Rex was about a third longer and much bulkier. But in the toy form, the T-Rex is 2 inches taller which is way too tall and not accurate enough for me. I know that the stegosaurus and T-Rex did not actually co-exist (coming from completely different times in Earth's history), but I really want my son to see the correct size difference in these models because its not like we cannot see dinos at the zoo.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073RJRZM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
