Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Tyrannosaurus rex was a fierce predator that walked on two powerful legs. This meat-eater had a huge head with large, pointed, replaceable teeth and well-developed jaw muscles. It had tiny arms, each with two fingers. Each bird-like foot had three large toes, all equipped with claws (plus a little dewclaw on a tiny, vestigial fourth toe). T. rex had a slim, stiff, pointed tail that provided balance and allowed quick turns while running. T. rex's neck was short and muscular. This hand painted replica comes equipped with booklet containing scientific data about Tyrannosaurus Rex and a figure of a human in the same scale, to facilitate comparison of the size. Sculpted in close cooperation with the Natural History Museum of the Humboldt-University Berlin.

Product Description

Towering over other dinosaurs, the terrible T-Rex ran swiftly with long strides.

Although it looked menacing, the T-Rex had little use for its short arms which only had two claws and could not reach its mouth. At almost twenty feet high and almost forty feet long, the T-Rex was not a great hunter but a scavenger, eating what other animals or dinosaurs left behind. Even though it had over fifty teeth that were over six inches long, its teeth were not used to chew but to tear since it swallowed its meals in chunks. To have better depth perception in looking for its next meal, the eyes of the T-Rex were both pointed forward so that its vision overlapped.

Fun Facts: The skull and jaw of the T-Rex were almost as tall as the height of a school bus.

I went back and forth between ordering this T Rex figure and another one, in the end I chose this one and IT IS AMAZING. It's detail is FANTASTIC. It is really sturdy and has no problem standing on it's own. Mine is named Ice T-Rex.

My boys are obsessed with T-Rex's,so we ordered these for them. They play with them all the time. Very realistic, very detailed. Mouth is open - which i s a plus, since these T-Rex's have "eaten" quite a bit already.
Keep in mind, this is a large model, very solid (it sinks in the water), and quite heavy. I think it would be too heavy for a child under 3 or so.
I expect this dino model will outlast all the others we have. They've been in the bathtub MULTIPLE times, and the paint still looks new, unlike others.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good looking exept for its awkward stance, March 11, 2011

This review is from: Schleich Tyrannosaurus Rex (Toy)

Schleich Tyrannosaurus Rex has its ups and downs.

I don't like the pose. It looks too straight. Its head and tail should be parallel to the floor. The posture is almost human like.
The other problem is that it's hard to keep it in a standing position. I would have expected that the reason of its awkward stance was to keep it from falling to easy, but it does anyway.

On the other hand I love the details and the durability of the materials.
