00:00Mattel releases a new Dromeosaur, and it's the biggest one yet.
00:04Here's a look at the new Mattel Jurassic World Rebirth Wild Roar Utah Raptor.
00:20Get roaring and ferocious with the Wild Roar Utah Raptor.
00:23Inspired by Jurassic World Rebirth, it's a total attack.
00:26Kids can easily move the tail up and down while in this dinosaur toy to activate the thrilling attack motion,
00:32accompanied by a savage roar, then twist the tail to change the direction for thrilling battle play.
00:37I would really recommend hanging around the Cretaceous period, but if you ever do, maybe keep away from this guy's claws.
00:42The Utah Raptor by far was the largest and most heavily built of the Dromeosaurs, basically the raptor family.
00:48In fact, if you were to compare the Utah Raptor with a regular Velociraptor, Velociraptors would be tiny in size.
00:54But before we actually do bring in a raptor, a standard raptor, let's go ahead and actually measure the Utah Raptor.
00:59We're going to go first from the end of its tail to the front of its mouth.
01:02Probably not a good idea going too close to the teeth.
01:05Then maybe what we'll do as well is measure from the bottom of its feet to the top of its head.
01:09If that sounds good with you, then it sounds good with me.
01:11From the end of its tail to, yeah, the front of its face, Utah Raptor is going to be almost 12 inches in length.
01:18Yeah, it is. And that's going to translate, by the way, to a figure that's about 30 centimeters long.
01:23Then to the bottom, to the top, you're looking at the Utah Raptor, about six and three quarters of an inch in height, or roughly about 16 centimeters tall.
01:31If we do go by what scientists say about the Velociraptor and how much bigger the Utah Raptor is, then the scale really isn't right.
01:38The Utah Raptor, in fact, was so much bigger than the Velociraptor, it could very comfortably hold the Velociraptor in its mouth.
01:44I don't know if necessarily I would really be taking blue and doing that myself, but I still have actually a couple of these Jurassic World figures from before.
01:52I think now that we, first of all, are getting a brand new feature film, and then we're getting as well toys to go along with that.
01:58If you're a big fan of dinosaurs, you certainly are going to probably be picking up a lot of the lines that Mattel is doing right now.
02:04Finding Utah Raptor in the wild, so to speak.
02:06I actually found this at my local Walmart. It was selling for around $27.
02:09I picked up a couple of Jurassic World Rebirth figures. We'll be looking at them in upcoming reviews.
02:14Some assembly is required for the Utah Raptor. Don't worry, don't fret it.
02:18All that's really required, though, is you have to take the end of its tail.
02:22The tail, I don't know if I can really do it now.
02:24The tail basically just plugs in. You get this as a separate piece.
02:27That plugs on to the back of the Utah Raptor's, well, what's left of the tail on his body, and then you get the complete piece.
02:33Before, though, we actually looked at the sound effects, though, for the Utah Raptor.
02:36Let's get a closer look at it. Now, again, we don't really have a whole lot to go by. Skeletons only.
02:41The Utah Raptor is certainly one of the more colorful ones, and certainly one of the more feathered of the Raptors.
02:47Raptors generally were known for having more feathered pieces or feathered features.
02:51Utah Raptor, though, being the largest of those.
02:54It's nice and cool that we actually now are getting one that's featured as a figure.
02:58Now, the thing about the Raptor, though, is the majority of his body is a hollow plastic.
03:02In order to be hollow, one of the reasons why, is it has to hold also the battery compartment, and there's the speaker section on the bottom, because this guy does actually roar.
03:12While this being a hollow plastic, the head at least is a little more of a durable plastic.
03:16It does have some posability, of course. That's going to have a lot to do with the gimmick.
03:19The only thing that isn't really as hard of a plastic is its arms.
03:23The arms are very, very soft. I don't know if it has more to do with just the fact of safety hazards.
03:27Safety hazards, you know, with these feathers like this, this was a hard plastic.
03:31First, you'd probably run the risk of breaking them.
03:33Second of all, if kids are running through the hallway with a Raptor in their hands, and they happen to fall down,
03:39oh, imagine the damage that that would inflict.
03:42So that probably did for more safety reasons.
03:45Unfortunately, though, the hands and the arms are very void of paint.
03:49The paint is pretty close.
03:50Now, you can clearly see, though, the parts that are molded in yellow plastic, like the head, like the arms,
03:55and then the parts that are painted in yellow.
03:57Some of the yellow, though, doesn't quite really jive.
04:00Here, on the bottom of its belly, is that probably the closest thing it has to matching its neck color.
04:06But then the stripes on the side, though, clearly not the same color as his head.
04:09Kind of wish, though, I keep calling this a he.
04:12I kind of do wish, though, that they could have color matched these a little bit closer,
04:15because it does look like the striping that they applied to the body is, again, not really quite the same shade.
04:21There really isn't a whole lot of other paint really on the Utah Raptor.
04:24Of course, there's a scanning code on the bottom.
04:26I haven't even yet tried these yet.
04:28When we had looked at, though, the other Jurassic World figures in the past,
04:32there was also an app feature there as well, where you could just scan this,
04:35and it basically would unlock, I believe, the dinosaur in the app.
04:38I really should get around to doing that.
04:40Of course, you also do have the thing that tells you that this isn't official.
04:44It's the legit copy of a Jurassic World toy.
04:47You've got, of course, the famous dinosaur, the T-Rex skeleton, stamped on the bottom of its feet.
04:52But overall, again, it looks pretty cool.
04:55I just kind of wish it had a little bit more paint to it.
04:56At the very least, going in there and painting up the nails, painting up the toenails would all have been fine.
05:02But unfortunately, though, really a lot of this is just left to the bare in plastic.
05:05Yeah, head sculpt, again, is pretty good.
05:07There is some posability, but the posability all is really locked in with the features.
05:11So you wouldn't be able to really open and close the mouth on its own.
05:14If you're only going to be closing it, it's going to be opening it up again.
05:18Tendons are featured there on the side.
05:20You've got nice painted teeth on the top and bottom.
05:22Like, though, with the arms, the teeth are very rubbery plastic, probably for those same reasons.
05:27I think the eyes are done very well.
05:29You've got a nice little bit of silver underneath there.
05:31Tiny old pupils of black have this thing looking at you.
05:35It's quite really uneasy feeling.
05:38Now, for the figure's articulation.
05:40Again, a lot of this really does have to do with the gimmick.
05:42If you're looking past the gimmick, though, what it does certainly have at its features is leg swivels.
05:47They go back and forth.
05:48Not really a whole lot, though.
05:50And then, of course, you can rotate the arms all the way around.
05:53There's a hinge right there.
05:54So, yeah, you can bring those arms out, having it look like it's kind of either playing peek-a-boo or if it's sneaking up from behind.
06:02Yeah, that's the only thing it really does when it comes to the posability.
06:05Everything else, again, is really relegated by what it's going to do on the back of its tail.
06:08Now, if you move the tail back and forth, like this, for example, just turning it back and forth, it's not going to do anything in the way of sound.
06:17It is, however, going to still turn the head.
06:19As you just continue to turn the tail, you see the head turns very, very easily.
06:23It's not really until, though, there's a hinge right here that you move the tail up and down that all then the audio clips will cycle through for the Utah Raptor.
06:31All you simply do, though, my friends and colleagues, just grab the tail on the back, bring the tail up, and you can see it not only does make the roaring sound, but it also lifts up its neck and closes its mouth.
06:42If you release it, it also does do the opposite of that, so obviously it's just going to move the head back and open up the mouth again.
06:48See, between moving it up and down, between that and then turning it, you can actually get some pretty cool stuff going on for the Utah Raptor.
07:01Now, this may be loud for everybody that's listening to this right now.
07:07What I did want to show you, though, that as you continue to turn it, the audio clips will constantly cycle.
07:16They're never going to stop.
07:17It's not really like, at least it's one of those cases, though, that if you're turning the tail and moving up the tail,
07:21it's not a long clip that's going to last for a while, and you're going to have to try to figure out whereabouts on this blasted thing.
07:30You have to turn this off.
07:31So certainly if your kids or yourself are big into dinosaurs, there's nothing really wrong with that at all.
07:36I am a big fan of dinosaurs.
07:38You don't have to worry that this thing is going to be turned on, and then you wouldn't be able to shut it off again.
07:44Utah Raptor is a nice-looking dinosaur.
07:46Again, it's not overly expensive at all.
07:48I mean, to pay like $26, $27 at my local Walmart, they sort of have kind of category-classed these by prices.
07:54The smaller-sized dinosaurs, even smaller, in fact, than the Utah Raptor, were going for more, I think, the $14 to $15 price.
08:01These ones were closer then to the $26, $27, and then you had the much larger-scale ones like the Spinosaurus that were closer more to $78.
08:08I do want to get my hands, though, on the Spinosaurus.
08:11There's also a T-Rex that they've got pre-ordered right now.
08:13I think it's dropping in the next month or so.
08:15But if you do like raptors overall, and you're obviously a big fan of the Velociraptors, just know, though, there was a predator stalking the jungles.
08:25Obviously, the area of Utah.
08:27But there was, though, a critter, an animal, a creature, a dinosaur that was even bigger than the Velociraptor.
08:33Velociraptors, really, in actual fact, were only about two meters in length.
08:36The Utah raptors were a much larger size, even to the point where, if they wanted to, they could easily grab a standard Velociraptor in its mouth and shake it to death.
08:46The Utah raptor was first discovered in 1975 by U.S. paleontologist Jim A. Jensen.
08:52Since then, it usually has been cast a shadow and all but forgotten about in favor of its smaller raptor, the Velociraptor.
08:58Now that we finally get ourselves, though, the reappearance of the Utah raptor, both in film and in plastic, I think Mattel has done a pretty good job on the Utah raptor.
09:08It is missing, though, I will admit, a whole lot of paint.
09:11I don't know, really, what this dinosaur would have looked like realistically in color scheme, but they've decided to go with orange and brown.
09:17The brown really does feel like it needs a whole lot of paint.
09:19But if you don't want to go in there, for example, and paint all the individual feathers or some accented areas, at the very least, I wish they could have painted the claws and the toenails, because those are things that, just looking at them, they feel like they're incomplete.
09:32The head sculpt has done well for, again, what we believe the Utah raptor is going to look like, and there's mild assembly that's required when you first take this out of the packaging.
09:40Likely doing that, though, just so they could use a much smaller cardboard box when it came to shipping these to stores.
09:45The Utah raptor does have audio clips, but it's one of those things, too, that it doesn't mean that the moment you touch the tail, this thing's going to start to roar.
09:54In fact, you can actually just turn the tail back and forth, and you can still have the play feature without the audio interrupting it.
10:00The audio, though, is a short enough clip that it's not going to bother parents for kids being playing with this all the time.
10:05These don't tend to have, though, on and off switches.
10:07They're always usually triggered by moving a leg, pushing a button on the top of its body, or in the case of the Utah raptor, twisting its tail.
10:15Now, these are available right now at Walmart.
10:18Walmart's stocking, at least here in Canada.
10:20I would imagine it would be the same elsewhere as well.
10:22They're stocking these for around the $26 to $27 price point.
10:25Not that expensive at all if you're looking to go back into collecting dinosaurs.
10:29What do you guys, though, think of the new Jurassic World Rebirth Utah raptor?
10:34Let me know down below in the comments section.
10:36Are you guys also excited for the new Jurassic World movie?
10:38Do you feel like maybe we have gotten enough Jurassic World movies?

10:44If you guys did also enjoy this video, you can do it a solid, throw it a like.
10:48You guys want to stick around for more, so?
10:50Yeah, yeah, I hope so.
10:51This isn't, by the way, the only time we're spending on the Jurassic World set.
10:54In fact, we are going to be looking at a couple more dinosaurs.
10:56So if that's certainly something that you would like to see more on this channel,
11:00just know those videos are going to be coming your way.
