My son is about as expert a 7-year-old on dinosaurs as there is. He loves this Giganotosaurus. It is well balanced, looks great, and is durable. He has hundreds of dino toys, and this is one of his favorites. Safari is a very good brand for dino toys. Highly recommended, and a very good value.

I was a little worried when I saw some of the review for this dino, but I have to say that this was a really great toy for my toddler. She loves dinosaurs and Giganotosaurus is one her absolute favorites. It has been almost a month now, and the dino looks good as new. It is indeed fairly tough and durable. I have not experienced any breakage or bending. It also stands pretty well on its own (does not fall down a lot as one reviewer suggested). I have bought plenty of Safari Dinos in the past and I have not had any issues with any of them. They have all been dropped, thrown, stepped on, and taken to the beach without incident.

Apparently the Safari company people are sticklers for accuracy (even more so than Papo). Although not as detailed as Papo, Safari claims that these dinos are based on the most recent scientific data. The detail on Giganotosaurus is very impressive and my daughter plays with it all the time. Its a great addition to our collection and I am glad I bought it. I also saved a lot of money buying it through Amazon, as the local toy store had it for almost twice the price.

I am not sure why other people had issues, but for my part, this guy is an A+

i don't know about all the others out there, but mine falls down - all the time. it's probably just my individual replica, but there's always the chance that it is a design flaw. i don't know; i haven't bought a replacement, yet. - d.
