Mattel Jurassic World Dual Attack Line Review!!




Mattel recently released an assortment of mid-sized dinosaur figures called "Dual Attack". These were released to replace their predecessor the Roarivores assortment back in 2018 for the Fallen Kingdom toy-line also by Mattel. The Roarivores assortment were a huge hit and were probably the best sellers out of the complete Fallen Kingdom lineup by Mattel. The Roarivore figures had one concealed button on their back that when you pressed it the mouth would chomp shut or the head would move up and down based on each respective species. For the 2019 line Mattel decided that for the first half of the year at least, the new "Dual Attack" assortment would be replacing its hugely popular predecessor assortment the Roarivores on store shelves around the world. Now instead of having one action and multiple roars they would remove the sound box and add an extra "Attack Feature". I have to say I like what they did! The dinos now have 2 smaller buttons on their back. The back button makes all their tails swing. Their front button makes the Parasaurolophus and Triceratops heads move up and down. The Concavenators mouth chomps closed!




We got 2 band new sculpts for the Dual Attack line:


The Parasaurolophus


The Concavenator


We also got one retool and repaint of an already existing figure:


Triceratops



Each one of these retails for


IRELAND RRP: €22.99 @ Argos, Smyths, Toymaster and Jurassic-Toys.co.uk


UK RRP: £19.99 @ Argos, The Entertainer, Smyths, Toymaster and Jurassic-Toys.co.uk


USA RRP: $14.99 @ Walmart, Target, Entertainment Earth and more!


The overall quality of these figures as you can expect from Mattel is really good. They are made out of a hard plastic for the main body and the, legs/arms/end of tails are made of a soft plastic / a very a hard rubber. They boast 6-7 points of articulation and all have great

paint jobs. The Concavenator's paint job is particularly the most detailed of them all.


The sculpt for all 3 of them is also excellent... My only gripe is that the triceratops sculpt should have been bumped up to the mega dual attack assortment as it is a little small to be a fully grown adult. The detail on the Triceratops and Concavenator is excellent and there are lots of prominent little scales visible, whereas the detail on the Parasaurolophus is a little soft unfortunately, however still an excellent figure regardless of the detail, it is actually my favourite out of the three!


I bought mine from Argos Ireland. There is a link below, if you live in the UK/Ireland you can purchase them here http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/8863407/Trail/searchtext%3EJURASSIC+WORLD.htm


This assortment is not exclusive to any one particular store in Ireland, the UK or the USA.... As for other countries I am not sure what store carries them. Just keep searching and you are bound to find them!


Thanks for reading this long review of the Mattel Jurassic World Dual Attack Line. Below are some more pictures of each figure and also the Jurassic Facts App DNA scan code for each dino is down below too!!
