Okay, so I caved and bought this Sinoceratops for my nephew's birthday after hearing him rave about Jurassic World for months. BEST. DECISION. EVER.
The detailing is insane – like, this isn't some cheap plastic toy. The paint job looks straight out of the movies, and when you press the hip? That ROAR is loud enough to make our cat jump off the couch (10/10 for entertainment value).
What really blew my mind was the AR feature. My nephew spent hours scanning the DNA code and making the dino appear in our living room through the app. Watching him 'study' the thermal vision mode was oddly educational? Mattel really nailed the mix of play and learning.
Only gripe: packaging was a nightmare to open – those plastic ties are practically indestructible. But seeing how sturdy the toy itself is (survived multiple 'ramming attacks' against sofa cushions), I'll forgive it. Pro tip: buy extra batteries upfront!
