Description: The smallest of the two large Rex sculpts of the JPS1 toy line (but still about 25 centimetres in length), the Young T-Rex stands in a fully neutral posture. Unlike most smaller dinosaur figures it features “realistic” dinosaur skin (though there is no such thing of course, since we’ll never know for sure what dinosaur skin felt like), made of a more flexible and softer material than the regular hard plastic. The figure’s arms, lower legs and inside of the mouth are not composed of this rubbery material.  revealing a dino damage wound, showing white ribs and red blood and muscle tissue. The Rex’s small two fingered arms are the only moveable body parts. This sculpt’s action feature consists of its jaws, which can be opened by squeezing the creature’s neck.

The Young Tyrannosaurus Rex is largely painted in a light brown earthy colour tone with small darker brown stripes running over its back from the back of the head all the way to near the end of the tail, and additional dark brown spots found on the upper legs, feet and snout. Its belly and underside of the tail are coloured beige. The claws on its feet are also dark brown, but the small claws on the hands are not painted. Tiny yellow eyes with black irises and white pupils are imbedded in dark brown eye sockets. The creature’s mouth is adorned with nasty white teeth, a dark pink tongue and additional dark pink mouth detailing. This Young Rex sports a large purplish JP logo with the number .06 on its right lower leg.
