Hasbro Jurassic World - Legacy Collection Apatosaurus (GWT48)

Product Information

The Apatosaurus was probably the only “World” dinosaurs I REALLY wanted a figure of. And yet, this has been so monumentally screwed up that it doesn’t interest me in the slightest. Apatosaurus lived in the Late Jurassic Epoch of the Jurassic Period, about 150 million years ago. It shared this time period with other well-known dinosaurs such as the Stegosaurus. Flying reptiles called Pterosaurs would have filled the skies.

Examples of the poor sculpts are: Spinosaurus, Parasaurolophus and Pachycephalosaurus which unlike the above listed figures, do not actually match their on-screen counterparts and have a lot of the stylistic stamps of the artist responsible for designing many of the non-cannon dinosaurs.SAFE&HIGH QUALITY?: Our dinosaur toys are made of high quality durable Rubber and ABS materials, Eco-friendly and child friendly. our production process are in strict compliance with the most reputable organizations of child safety standards, including ASTM, ICTI and more.

Apatosaurus is a dinosaur which lived approximately 150 million years ago during the Jurassic Period. This dinosaur was first discovered in 1877 by Othniel Charles Marsh and was promptly named Apatosaurus ajax. In 1917, a second specimen was found and it was named Apatosaurus louisae. Since then, several specimens have been found in parts of Colorado, Oklahoma and Utah. The name Apatosaurus means “deceptive lizard”. It was given this name by Othniel Charles Marsh because its bones resembled the bones of other dinosaurs, particularly Mosasaurs.

While not the largest Sauropod, Apatosaurus was still one of the biggest dinosaurs of its time. Apatosaurus Size Apatosaurus Facts For Kids: Size Chart For much of the time Apatosaurus may have had to keep its head in line with its body to allow its heart to supply its brain with blood.

Apatosaurus was a huge sauropod dinosaur that lived in the Late Jurassic period. It was a plant-eater, and a member of the Diplodocidae family. However, because the specimen in the American Museum of Natural History was titled Brontosaurus, this was the name that came into common usage. Books, films and TV programmes all referred to the dinosaur with its original, incorrect, name. What we do know is that Apatosaurus hatched from eggs, and that these eggs were at least a 12 inches (30 cm) wide. Apatosaurus egg remains have been discovered positioned in lines, suggesting that they were laid while the female Apatosaurus was walking along.

For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping younger and older children to develop and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create, invent, innovate with a wide range of animals or characters. One constant factor which has not changed over the years is quality (the quality of the sculptures and of the materials used) which has always been our watchword and will remain so. Mattel Jurassic World Jurassic Park Dinosaur Figure, Collector Brachiosaurus The Hammond Collection, 30 Year Anniversary Posable Authentic Toy Uncover the Jurassic Era: Discover the Late Jurassic Period with our Apatosaurus toy figurine, a must-have for any dinosaur enthusiast. Apatosaurus means ‘deceptive lizard’, but this wasn’t due to the Apatosaurus / Brontosaurus debate: it was because some of its bones resembled those of a mosasaur.What we know of dinosaur behaviour is based on the positioning of fossil remains, other clues drawn from injuries, etc. to the specimens, and by comparisons with similar, extant (living) species. Giant of the Jurassic: The Safari Ltd. Apatosaurus toy brings to life one of the largest terrestrial animals to have ever existed, measuring at least 70 feet in length and weighing about 20 tons. It may seem like I’m being overly critical of this toy but honestly, if I didn’t like it then I wouldn’t have bought it. I don’t find the toy as aesthetically pleasing, lifelike, or as well proportioned as the Mattel Brachiosaurus but both toys are designed to look like their on-screen counterparts, and I just prefer the Jurassic Park Brachiosaurus over the Jurassic World Apatosaurus. Mattel has done a fantastic job of bringing the Jurassic World Apatosaurus to life and for fans of that movie, this is a must have. Although the Apatosaurus doesn’t resonate much with me, it does play a pivotal and touching role in Jurassic World that resonated with other collectors. Furthermore, the Apatosaurus toy serves as a bridge between generations, as it appeals not only to children but also to dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages. It can facilitate meaningful conversations and shared interests between parents or grandparents and children, sparking discussions about paleontology, natural history, and the wonders of the ancient world. This intergenerational connection creates opportunities for learning and bonding, fostering a love of learning and exploration in both children and adults.
