This extremely detailed t-rex is a favorite of my children. I was concerned about the jaw breaking, but it has been fine through some very rough play by my 4 year old. A step above other similar toys.

I saw this dinosaur while on a trip to Columbus, OH, and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. This is a fantastic, museum-quality "toy", if that's what you want to call it. The T-Rex is so good that I'm going to buy the Spinosaurus and Raptor next!

I like many of the Papo animals for their realistic looks, and this one is no exception. Her jaw stays open at intermediate angles (as well as full open and full closed), so she even shows emotion (boredom, interest, happiness, opportunity, hunger!--from closed to open). If you've ever seen Delgado's "Age of Reptiles", or Frank Cho's dinos, this is the lady for you.

It's rare that a product exceeds expectations. With this Papo Tyrannosaur, however, that's exactly what happened. I bought this as a gift for my 5-year-old nephew, who was having a dinosaur themed birthday. Given the other reviews, I already had decent expectations, which made it all the more impressive that this product exceeded them. My nephew was quite excited with the Tyrannosaur, and despite his parents' initial hesitation, he has been allowed to have the toy with him in bed at night. Apparently the vicious nature of the Tyrannosaur makes him feel safe from anything else that might scare him! The rubbery material used to make the product means it is both durable and safe for a 5-year-old to play with. I saw him banging and stabbing the T-Rex, which seemed to hold up with no problem.

Despite my nephew's enthusiasm for the toy, I'm quite certain it cannot match my own enthusiasm. The detail and accuracy is amazing. Upon seeing the product first-hand I decided I had to have my own. It turns out the model makes for a great subject for photography, especially experimenting with different light setups. The Tyrannosaur is fun to photograph, and will likely prove an invaluable reference for modeling a computer model of the animal in MAYA. I also purchased the Allosaurus, as the reviews for that product were equally impressive, if not more so. I hope to have both soon.

This is a fantabulous depiction of a realistic TRex!! You can't get 'em any better than the Papo toys, you really can't. I've been waiting to find a good, realistic TRex to display at my cubicle at work, or to just study and imagine what a real dino might look like - Papo dinos are the very, very best. These are sturdy, mature toys that will light up your imagination. This Rex is in the perfect pose, and is of the perfect dimensions. Easily the most accurate Tyrannosaurus available in toy form. I'm just crazy about these Papo dinosaurs - they're terrific!!

It's not so much a toy as it is a statue. Great mold. A must for Jurassic Park fans!Basicly a recreation of the last shot from the movie.

This is without question, the greatest T-Rex statue/model ever released on a major scale. Yes, there are boutique, and wallet-smashing offers from companies such as Sideshow Collectables...but this little T-Rex offers similarly high levels of detailing, subtle coloration/washing, and great proportion to form what we see here: a masterpiece. It also offers something else that Sideshow doesn't: VALUE.

For under $20 (I got mine for a shade under $16 with free Amazon shipping w/the Papo Triceratops, natch), about the cost of a disposable new-release DVD, you can have a nice little terror on your shelf that will break the ice and start a conversation with guests. Friends so far can't help but pick the little Tyrant Lizard King up when they see him sitting on the shelf, glaring up at them. He he.

I hate to go with the flow of nearly every review here, but this time I must join the echo-chamber of Borg-like opinion: this T-Rex is perfect. It has a quality "heft" to it that all Papos possess. It also looks fantastic on my bookshelf next to all my dinosaur books. Forget Safari, Schleich, CollectA, etc. They are all similarly unimpressive, and lacking in detail. Go Papo, and never look back.

Get one today, for the kid in us all, no matter if you are a youngin'...or closer to 65 million years old.

I have nothing but praise for the T Rex toy either used as a model or a reference for an artist.
It's Heavy, Sturdy and Fun for all. ages!!

I bought this for my son who was turning 4. He absolutely loves dinosaurs, but I was a little disappointed with the size. I thought the dinosaur was bigger. It may have been my fault for not reading the full description of the dinosaur. Also, within the 1st week, a leg fell off and my husband had to crazy glue it back on. Overall, my son was excited when he received the dinosaur. He liked that the mouth opened and closed. I feel like it may be better as decoration, sitting on a shelf. Toys r us sells better dinosaurs by Animal Planet that r more kid friendly.

I know the reviews said these dinos were a treat to behold but seriously wow! Even peering into the Rex's mouth there is not an unfinished edge, spot, cranny, anywhere. He looks perfect throughout, Papo did not spare a detail.
I bought this guy as well as the stegosaurus and triceratops for my son's 3rd bday, and yes before you collectors grimmace in disgust and horror, they're still in perfect condition despite my almost 2 yo daughter also playing with them daily. I am so pleased with these, I look forward to adding to my son's collection as more holidays come to pass.
Thought I would also mention that they're nice and soft and not a hazard of hurting little ones by rough play. I was concerned about the edges on the stego and triceratops.
