Let me start by saying this Triceratops action figure is *chonky*—in the best way possible. At 13 inches long, it feels substantial in hand, and the sculpted details (wrinkled skin, those iconic three horns) are surprisingly crisp for a toy at this price point. The paint job isn’t museum-quality, but the earthy greens and browns pop enough to impress a kid—or a casual collector like me.

The real party trick? That **ROAR**. Press the hip, and you get a decently loud, movie-inspired bellow followed by a head-butting motion. My nephew (the official ‘toddler tester’ in our family) lost his mind laughing every time it chomped the air. But here’s the catch: after a week of *enthusiastic* play, the sound mechanism started glitching. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting for rough-handed kids.

Durability is hit-or-miss based on reviews. Mine survived drops from couch height (plastic is thick but not indestructible), but another commenter mentioned theirs snapped like a twig. If your kid treats toys like WWE wrestlers, maybe supervise ‘dino battles.’

The AR feature via the Jurassic World Facts app is… fine. Scanning the DNA code to see a thermal vision Triceratops in my living room was neat for 5 minutes, but my nephew quickly ditched it for good old-fashioned stomping. Still, it’s a cute bonus for tech-savvy kids.

**Final verdict?** For $20-$30, this Triceratops delivers solid fun with minor flaws. Perfect for casual fans or as a gift (just maybe keep the receipt). Hardcore collectors might want to wait for a sale—or hope Mattel upgrades the joints/sound in future releases.
