- For my first episode I'll be checking out the Kenner T-Rex from the first toy line. This is one of my favorites, and I highly recommend getting one if you're a collector.
Collector card, catalog, and boxed T-Rex images were from JPtoys.com, be sure to check that site out if you want to know more about anything Jurassic Park toy related.

The color scheme was inspired by how it's described in the book.
Interesting, its been a few years since I've read the book. I know Kenner used the books for inspiration for other figures (the young t-rex).
As a 14 year old, you all had some badass toys growing up.
As a kid I pretty much treated this like a plush toy which probably most likely the reason I broke off one of its arms, and named it Rexy. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that is her official fan name.
Thanks so much for rejuvinating my passion for the JP Kenner toy lines. I had a lot of JP & LW toys in storage the last 20+ years. I owned the red rex as a 7yr old for a few weeks before it broke down and was returned. Got a working red rex last month and are hooked ever since. Thank you.
Glad you liked the video and that it got you into collecting the Kenner stuff. The red rex is an awesome figure to start with, still one of my favorites. Feel free to keep me updated on how your collection is going! Should have new videos soon, going to start TLW toys.
@@jurassicreviewschannel got a long way since 2 months ago. JPS1 is complete (apart from capture copter). S2, demon, utahraptor and electric bary. LWS1 almost complete, apart from two humans and bull-rex (underway). Hard to get some stuff in Europe. Daughter (3yrs) loves it too. That are still toys here. Greetings from the Netherlands. Looking forward to the new video's.
I wish I never gave mine away a few years ago to extended family. Figured other kids could have fun with it. When I wanted it back, was sad to realize it was destroyed and thrown away
Finally getting my hands on this one in a few days. Can't be happier.
Congrats!
@@jurassicreviewschannel i feel like last time this video was only like 2-3 years old. Time flies
I remember wanting this toy so bad when I was a kid but I had to settle for the “Young” T-Rex instead. I even cut its rubbery mouth open to stuff other toys down it’s throat. I was a savage… I put Ellie in there too for equal representation
OG kenner T-rex is awesome, a real flex piece, but the Thrasher T-rex is a masterpiece
in my top 3 of all toys of all time... with the original 1984 Marshmallow of Ghostbusters ... and the 1991 Ultimate Warrior WWF figure
I hope, HOPE, Mattel will make like a special rubber line (like continuing the real feel line because they only made a mosasaurus) with a rubber tyrannosaurus rex!
Dreams come true!!!
this toy looks more realistic than all the Jurassic World movies of 2020 LOL ... by the way i only have Jurassic Park original pieces ;) For me... JP and JW are 2 different worlds. i am a JP fan :). TY for the videos.
I absolutly loved my JP dinosaurs as a kid. Probably my most used toys together with my old Ps1. But i never knew i had the Young T-Rex untill a kid from the neighbourhood showed me his Red Rex. I couldnt believe my eyes 😂
So did u rob him
This is a must in my collection.
I just won an auction on eBay for this one for $90 AUD It’s physical condition looks near perfect, so many of them I’ve found at this price range have missing arms or battery covers, it did mention that it has the continuous roar issue though.
I have tried to buy the original T-rex on eBay but it's too expensive this video is amazing keep it up mate
Thank you :)
Good luck
Although I believe the thrasher and bull are better figures, this one will always be my favorite in my collection because of the memories
Man, my reasonings behind collecting are almost identical to yours. I wanted the red rex for Xmas 93 but got the young rex instead which was a disappointment at time. My friend got one though which made me super jealous. I did however get the bull T. rex for lost world so it mostly made up for it.
Skip to adulthood, I have my own red rex finally! It’s almost a perfect specimen. The tail even has absolutely no creases of any kind which other collectors have remarked upon with some envy lol. My roar mechanism is broke however, stuck in the on position like you mentioned. Man, I had so many of these as a kid but I no longer have them.
Just recently found a S1 young rex and Utah raptor at goodwill, both in amazing shape. I only paid $3 each. I also managed the score the much sought after demon which is a huge score. Anyways, just love listening to your vids, man. Thanks for the content!
Btw, I scored my red red on shopgoodwill for about $70ish. They had many more Dino’s at the time so apparently someone donated their collection. I still believe mine may be one of the better looking rexes I’ve yet to see
Thank you! And nice finds on the young rex and Utah raptor, ive had a few lucky finds like that at flea markets. I wish I would have had the Lost World Bull T-Rex growing up, but I was glad I at least had the Thrasher.
The Red Rex is the best toy ever in my opinion! Even better than Bull T-Rex!
Yeah
I just bought a red t rex in PERFECT condition the stomp and roar work no wear or tear :) he was 178 dollars out of box
Thats awesome, and that isn't a bad price for one in great shape!
@@jurassicreviewschannel and for some reason the inside of his mouth smells like air freshener I guess he brushed his teeth before I got him
When will you review the thrasher t rex?
Going to try and get back into it here soon, finally have a break from class for a month.
I love this UA-cam channel!
Thank you!
They used Stan Winston T-rex maquette because they didn’t have image for the Red Rex in time for back of the packaging artwork editing so they used the picture of the maquette instead 👌👌👌
Old Red is my favorite T-Rex! second goes to Mattel’s Extreme Chompin T-Rex.
Is my second favorite, after the Thrasher T-Rex. Do love Mattel's T-Rexes so far though!
@@jurassicreviewschannel but from were can i find it
@@Huda445x It’ll be tough getting your hands on a thrasher or red if that’s what your after, they both go for 100, sometimes more sometimes less. I recommend stalking ebay until you find the one your after
Red Rexs probably a close third for me. First is Bull and second is Thrasher. I adore it since it resembled the one from the novels.
Great review of my favorite figure ! 🦖
Why is the tail bent on these?
result of the packaging
I have one of these but the roar is broken. The sound works but the jaw does not open and the plastic in the neck is not even attached to the base of the neck. But I still love the figure. Also Awesome review.
Thank you, and yeah the neck breaking is pretty common with this figure.
Got it from my cousin for free, he didn’t let me have it at first but 9 years later he said the sound was broken and let me have it.
The sound wasn’t broken, the batteries were just dead.
I still have it today and he still doesn’t know.
I like the intro👍🏻👍🏻😍😍
Thank you!
Great video! It seems very professional and well-made. You should have more subscribers 😂
Thank you!
Yeah I agree
I got mine for 50 and the electronics work fine and the plastic interior of the neck isn’t broken. And bent tail is mild.
Pretty Jurassic Park t Rex
You right about the explanation but they had the trike out before the rex was out so they had early large figures
Cool, figured the large Rex was last one out then. Assuming all the medium sized ones got released at the same time.
Mine was about $150 plus shipping which was another $20. Mainly because of the condition it's in.
Great review! How do you know if the neck is broken? Is it supposed to have a plastic joint connecting it to the ”shoulder” area?
Usually if the neck is broken the head will be hanging to either side and not facing forwards. Another sign is if you press the action button around the ribs and the head/mouth does not move at all.
Jurassic Reviews Thanks!
How do i clean this figure ? Mine's covered in dust and the legs are sticky.
Ive always wanted the red rex, to bad I never got one, anyway how does the rubber feel, is it soft or rough?
Its sort in between, not super soft and not super rough lol You can bend and squeeze things pretty easily.
the thrasher is the best but i would love to have the red rex
I recall being absolutely crushed as a kid when I got this. The red paint was just ridiculous, I was really hoping for something closer to what was on the back of the box.
I still have mine and may just respray it at some point.
From what I've read from comments and other forums the color scheme is inspired by its description in the book. Its been a few years since ive read the book, might read it again here soon.
Please don't repaint vintage figures if you don't have extras
Found a used, slightly damaged one for twelve bucks online! I'm finally getting Red! ♡♡♡
Congrats! Hope you enjoy it!
I got one for $68 it's the cheapest I could find lol
@@jurassicreviewschannel were can i find it
So what about the feet? Are there inscriptions on both feet or just one?
When are you going to move on to the lost world ? Also are you planning to review the Mattel thrash and throw as I would really like to see that
I have 4 more figures in the series 2 line (Working on one right now) and then ill be moving onto the Lost World! I sort of get side tracked when newer stuff comes out, but I still plan on reviewing all of Kenner's dinosaurs. Also I could totally review the Thrash and Throw! I'll see if I can fit that one in here soon, I work a lot so sometimes these videos take me awhile.
The only best dinosaur toy
I bought one yesterday!
Congrats! Its an awesome figure!
@@jurassicreviewschannel Yes, i'm very excited for it to arrive. Also, why do you have so many bulls, reds, thrahsers, and rexes/ani spinos?
What made you decide to get this big of a collection?
@@novasedits4764 Ive been collecting for over 20 years now, so my collection has gotten quite large. As far as my duplicates, nowadays I only buy 1 or 2 of something at most. If I buy 2 its usually to keep one unopened for collecting reasons and 1 opened for review purposes. The Bulls, Thrashers, Red Rexes, etc were bought a long time ago, I honestly couldn't tell you what I was thinking back then. A lot of my stuff was purchased at flea markets, and sometimes it was just a matter of me not wanting to go home empty handed. Regardless, my days of mass duplicate buying are over lol.
@@jurassicreviewschannel Hey it just arrived, and I have to say it is the best figure I own. It's my first Rex. Well, that's kind of a lie, I have two Omegas that I can't open until my Birthday for $130 usd.
As a lil kid, i wouldn't mind switching childhoods
They used the Stan maquett on the box because the red Rex was actually molded from that maquett like they made a copy and used that to make the red Rex
Interesting I haven't read that before. According to JPtoys.com it was just a stand in until Kenner developed their own. That said I definitely see similarities between the two.
Have you considered selling some of those Bulls for under $100? Great review btw, Love the camera quality
Thank you! And at some point maybe, unfortunately right now I'm super busy with school and work. I'm barely getting these videos out right now lol
@@jurassicreviewschannel It's fine. I totally understand, And I can wait. I can barely push out my own videos! XD
Opinion on the new one?
Looks great, especially the packaging. Might do a video on it but there will probably be a 1000 other videos on it by then.
@@solar-jaymi that is a good idea, I’ll do something like that, would like to revisit this one anyway since it was my first video.
The tail has a malleable wire inside it, you can straighten it out!
ill give it a try!
Jurassic Reviews yea just put the tail under hot water and move the tail about a bit
Cool t.rex
I'm trying to remember if I got the 1st release or second...the second collector card got me confused because they sold the JP trading cards too..😄
Damn, I really want that. Too bad it's really expensive on ebay
Nobody cares
Compare size with thrasher trex and red rex
Sure, ill do that when I do my video on the thrasher t-rex
I wish I had a thrasher T-Rex
Cool video!
Thank you!
Simply exuberayting
I really want to get it.But it's soooooo expensive
yeah prices keep going up. Hope you get lucky and find one for a good price.
@@jurassicreviewschannel but from were plz reply
Way to expensive for me...thats why I bought the juvenile lol😂🤣 maybe for my bday or christmas!🤣😂😅
You are lucky to have red rex and the Hasbro showdown allosaurs I really want these two badly but they are going for reduclous prices hope when I will grow up I will find these two o sub your channel could you do a collection video aswell as the showdown allo plzzz
Will you please review the Omega T-Rex?
I have a few more series 2 dinosaurs to wrap up still but how about I make the The Lost World Bull T-Rex the first figure I review when I move on to The Lost World toy line? I usually do repaints in the same episode as the original figure so I'll cover the Omega during that same episode. Ill try to get done with the Series 2 stuff as quick as I can!
Jurassic Reviews oh take your time! Thanks for uploading these videos.
@@thealeworld Having a ton of fun making them, I'll make sure the Omega video is worth the wait!
Jurassic Reviews awesome! You just earned a subscriber.
Thanks for subscribing! :)
Apart of me is just getting the feeling of being a kid again and it makes me sad
I personally believe that this version of the Rex is not Rexy and is in fact a male. The evidence: most of them time in male animals they usually have brighter colors then the females. He’s also never seen in the films. It’s ither Kenner created a new T.Rex or Kenner just didn’t pay attention.
