If by any chance you happen upon the Grant and Malcolm sets, you (and off-colour Alan!) will have an absolute BLAST with them. Frankly I haven't been more satisfied cracking open a Jurassic toy since perhaps when Mattel first acquired the license. Brilliant analysis!

[@JurassicCollectables]

Ah I hope they show up in the UK soon!

[@shainewhite2781]

Love the Kenner JURASSIC PARK Rex! I'm glad that they brought back the nostalgia and fantasy of JURASSIC PARK that people have missed

[@NightmarePictures001]

They both look fantastic! I actually thought the Mattel Rex and the Kenner Rex were the same size. Glad you made this comparison video :).

[@jetchalice8743]

I feel like that 4th roar is meant to be a roar that's heard in the distance like in jurassic park when Alan and the kids hear the rex but aren't super close to it

[@foreverkent2225]

There’s no comparison to big red from Kenner. The fact that so many of them are still in circulation in good condition is a testament to the quality of Kenners rex. But like you I love that Mattel is paying tribute to the history of Jurassic park toys. Seeing the boxes in store with the sunset backdrop and that Kenner style box makes me feel like a kid again

[@christo-gj1qk]

I got one in mint condition and I still have it in its package. I keep it in my closet but I want to get a container to better preserve it. I bought it on Amazon for like 350 I think?

[@Reos-Domain]

I'm gonna have to disagree. I have seen so many red rexes in absolutely horrid condition or straight up broken. Also to use that for the basis of an argument because time just hasn't passed yet for a certain product is inherently bias. The new red rex is a better toy and figure. It can keep its mouth open, is more accurate, similar quality rubber, better overall sculpt, posing options, and roar affects. The new one is critically superior in almost every way. Now only time will tell how long it lasts, but my guess is a while

[@foreverkent2225]

@@Reos-Domain well we can agree to disagree. I find the old red rex to be more accurate, better quality rubber, and better overall sculpt. To each their own 🤷‍♂️

[@LBTElectricDinoOnline]

Wow, great work Comparing the two Mattel Red Rexes partner, it looks amazing and very nostalgic in my opinion and I’m definitely excited for the Red Rex from Mattel, it’s that impressive in my opinion. I do adore the Kenner Red Rex but I do think the Mattel Red Rex looks perfect for my collection. Great job on this JurassicCollectables and keep up the great work and Life Finds A Way with this.

[@BeforeMoviesSucked]

The Kenner "Red Rexy" is one of the greatest toys ever made. It was the single greatest unfulfilled longing of my childhood, and I was overjoyed to finally be able to buy it as a collectible when I was grown up and could finally afford it. I'm still in awe of it.

[@JurassicCollectables]

I'm so glad you were able to track one down! This mirrors my story too - as I couldn't afford the Red Rex on release in 1992/3. Thanks for tuning in! Appreciate the comment

[@BeforeMoviesSucked]

@@JurassicCollectables Haha, yeah, $50 seemed like quite a mountain in 1993.

[@JurassicCollectables]

@@BeforeMoviesSucked That's a lot! I think here in the UK they were £24.99, which easily made it birthday present material rather than a pocket money purchase

[@tinng9727]

The new one is great but I still prefer the old one. Proportions and accuracy matter more to me than gimmicks.

[@lkungthe-nublarcollector3862]

In my opinion the new one is better. Especially its head The 93' has more accurate proportions but the head looks odd than Mattel head sculpt. Mattel head sculpt is more accurate.

[@neogri2]

'93 version looks way better in my opinion. Before watching this video I wanted to get the Mattel red Rex, but now I'm not sure anymore.

[@JurassicCollectables]

Well I'm glad I aided in the decision process - if you do end up getting one they are very nice 👍 Thanks for watching

[@lkungthe-nublarcollector3862]

The new one is clearly better in my opinion. Especially its head. The 93' has good proportions but the head looks odd than Mattel head sculpt.

[@paleona5820]

Great comparison! My best friend back in the day had the Kenner red rex- it’s a great toy, but I remember the stomping noise didn’t work anymore after playing with it too much. I love the old rex, but it definitely has its own flaws, like the weird gap by the jaw muscles and the arms being held so far out from the body. I just got my Mattel anniversary rex in the mail yesterday and really like it so far! The more vibrant color scheme is nice, while still being nostalgic, and I think it will be fun to take photos of.

[@JurassicCollectables]

Ah I'm glad you got one too. All good points about the Kenner Rex! Thanks for tuning in and sharing your story, I enjoyed reading. Best, JC

[@MATTDALOR1AN]

this thing is such a great toy; Mattel's finest thus far. Kenner Red Rex is still king but this one is so, so close!

[@TheTreeDragon]

I preordered mine. I cannot wait to make this one not only my favorite T.rex, but also my favorite toy period, and ofc, not a defective one at all.

[@dustinharber3744]

It doesnt matter what they make.. nothing will ever beat the original 93 line. The sculpts, the colors and the details and pride that went into the production of the figures.. overall better materials, more thought put into the designs and paints and not as fisher-price.. change my mind.

[@JurassicCollectables]

Yeah and the fact the Rex is derived from the production molds. Toys wouldn't have that sort of lineage now unless it's meant to be a prop replica (but that would likely be a collectible). So we were very fortunate back in the 90s. I cherish mine. Thanks for your comment, awesome!

[@lkungthe-nublarcollector3862]

You just praise the old classics too much and fail to see the truth. Clearly the new one is better. Especially its head The 93' has good proportions but the head looks odd than Mattel head sculpt. You should accept the truth. Not just praising the classics too much.

[@JurassicCollectables]

Ah this is very kind 👍. Thanks so much for watching and leaving such a nice message

[@NightYoshi]

It's a tough one but I'd say the 93 Kenner Rex is still just slightly better. That being said Mattel still has a hit on their hands and I hope maybe someday we can get a perfect remake that takes the best parts of both and makes the definitive version of the red rex.

[@JurassicCollectables]

I think on sculpt it's hard to beat something sourced from the studio molds. But the new features are fantastic and I would have loved them in 1993. Especially feeding the Rex! Thanks for tuning in as always Night Yoshi

[@Reos-Domain]

I'll have to disagree with you mate, the new mattel rex has much better overall sculpting, far more accurate, better posing, better sounds in the places given, better features with the tail, balancing, etc. I'm gonna have to take the nostalgia glasses off here

[@alainportant6412]

Unfortunately those big -T-rexes didn't exist in mainland europe back in the 90's. At least not in France. Amazon was just a bookstore and frankly, ordering anything on the internet was pretty much a hit or miss, and probably just a very stupid thing to do. I saw a kid walking by with one, so I knew they existed, but they remained something of an urban myth for a very long time.

[@JurassicCollectables]

Oh wow. That's a bit like series 2 figures here in the UK. I didn't know series 2 existed until I was an adult. Thanks for sharing & watching the video! 👍

[@MonstersOfTheUniverse]

Mattel Rex also has a softer head than the usual plastic, made from pvc or something similar Tail is poseable… And I believe the new red Rex also has the crunching sound that the bull Rex had, if I’m not mistaken

[@JurassicCollectables]

Very good observations!! Thanks for your comment and for tuning in, greatly appreciated 👍

[@sanjeevdalela]

I think they’re equally matched.

[@LizardFella2.0]

I'm pretty sure the haunting roar as you call is from one of the scenes (Probably JP2 or JP3) Where the Rex chasing them down off in the distance.

[@yuyaricachimuel555]

Awesome, this may be what warms me up to wanting to get this new figure. Also Hey JC, I have a question, what do you think of the Amber and Hammond Collections by Mattel, and would you ever purchase/review them ?

[@jurassicverse64]

I guess the Mattel Red Rex could be the equivalent of the juvenile from the novel?

[@JurassicCollectables]

Yes exactly - the original Red Rex by Kenner was created before the film had completed shooting so they used novel references unless they had concept artwork to go by

[@AgentXRifle]

Where is the best place to get the kenner ‘93 and what would be a fair price? Had one as a kid but my mom ran a day care so it got very used and abused.

[@ArmasPoole-vd3ku]

When you think about 2009 Jurassic Park orange alpha bull tyrannosaurus Rex get the mattel form treatment soon because I love to see get the chance

[@VudunderligSnakke]

Well its an hard battle. Kenner’s scale and proportions are movie accurate but its less flexible and posable. On the other hand, Mattel’s can chew stuff and its head is way better and it definitely looks like the female Rex we see in the movie. Unfortunately it looks smaller and with way too bigger feet. It seems Winston’s maquette is still the best.

[@ArmasPoole-vd3ku]

Hmmm I got a serious question about the Jurassic Park Red T-Rex from The first Jurassic Park movie I rather see the Red T-Rex from in the first Jurassic Park movie

[@jenajoblankenship2541]

Is it just me or do the Kenner Rex and jp 30 Mattel one look similar to what Rexy looked like in the book?

[@JurassicCollectables]

Yes! This is actually what happened in the design process. The toys were developed while the film was still in production, so the designs weren't yet locked down. So Kenner went off the novel description to start producing the toys in advance

[@grandiosa86]

Day and night, the two models is not even comparable. Two totally differently toys.

[@Tyresaurus]

I got the 1993 Red Rex in very good condition (I should make a video) and.. I’m very careful with it, don’t want any damage so I’m not playing with it that much and it neck had got bent in a suitcase but some how recovered and not break? The neck of the red Rex is fragile which is a huge flaw. This new red Rex sounds great for playing cuz I don’t have to worry as much. Plus another rubber dinosaur. Btw my Red Rex rubber is quite soft! I was shocked, because my 1993 Triceratops rubber is a little harder which is a bit better. Anyway I really wish I could get that Mattel red Rex but I’m not sure am I allowed cuz I live in a van and space is so important, I do have a bag and a Mattel Rex does fit, not Kenners Rex sadly.. But what about the potential other figures are gonna go? 😂 I’ll probably be skipping on her sadly, I hope there will be other 93 classics coming to Australia. Btw, I just got two new Dino tracker figures, a Nothosaurus and Kronosaurus. And what should I say at the start of the video? Also do u have any Jurassic video ideas? I want to make some theory videos and stuff. Planning one about “Forgotten Dinosaurs In The Jurassic Franchise”. Need other original ideas, one of “What happened to the ducks in Jurassic park?” Not joking, there’s ducks in the visitor centre and no one ever talks about it!

[@JurassicCollectables]

I like the ducks idea! Go with that 👍. There will be smaller figures in the 93 classic wave perhaps you could get the Alan Grant set? Great purchases! Those will make fine reviews. Thanks for watching & commenting! Best, JC 👍

[@Tyresaurus]

@@JurassicCollectables Not sure will they be coming to Australia. Hope they do, the red Rex is in Mr Toy World which is our Aussie local toy shop and their toys are a little expansive!

[@yuyaricachimuel555]

New comment (apologies), but I honestly see the possibility, and I hope that’s the case, of Mattel making a toy out of the unreleased Gulper T. rex for next year. Considering some of the newly released anniversary sets have some homages to unreleased Kenner prototypes, it seems much more likely and I truly hope so.

[@JurassicCollectables]

That would be amazing! Great idea. If they did they may use this figure as a basis and repaint it...

[@yuyaricachimuel555]

@@JurassicCollectables honestly I’d say they should go for a new and slightly better proportioned sculpt (maybe larger too since that was the idea). Though now that I think about it, it almost feels like it might not be 100% likely since they gave this red rex the slit belly, but I’ll still hope they’ll do it.
