Dromaeosaurus Strike Attack Review Jurassic World Survival Review
The Dromaeosaurus is all party and deadly teeth. I am not sure if it is because of the Survival line or it is creative decision but the colors of this figure are simply crazy. The body is neon green, it has orange feathering, feet are darker green and transition beautifuly to the body neon green.

About the Toy
1. Sculpt and painting
Paint Scheme: Neon Green, Dark Green, Orange
The Dromaeosaurus is all about color combination. This is the fugure strongest feature besides that it is the first time appearance in the Jurassic World toy lines. The neon green color is extremely toxic looking. My sons first reaction was – “Is this chicken poisonous?”.
The red-orange feathering running over the top of the head, down through the neck, and returning in the tail creates a warm contrast that plays off the green body extremely well. The dark green feet breaking in at the bottom and transitioning upward into the lighter body green adds a third tone that completes the palette without overcomplicating it.
The overall impression is of a vivid, almost bird-like color scheme, which is entirely appropriate for a feathered theropod.
The head sculpt has a recognizable resemblance to the standard Mattel Jurassic World raptor design, which is both a strength and a limitation. The familiarity of the raptor head in the JW style works in the figure’s favor because it gives the Dromaeosaurus an immediately readable identity. This is a raptor!
The arms otherwise look decent with feathers leading down through the upper arm and additional feathering hanging off the back of the arm near the elbow. The transition from feathered arm to skin-textured lower arm works well.
The hands have scoots down the fingers. The claws look acceptable but are not particularly sharp, and carry no paint.
The dark green feet are a highlight of the paint application. Scoots run down the toes but again the claws are unpainted. The fine-scale detail on the feet is impressive when caught in the right light. The tail has a feathered appearance similar to what Mattel produced on their Hypsilophodon figure
2. Action Feature & Articulation
The action feature with the Dromaeosaurus is a killer claw kick that activates both legs in a kicking motion, mimicking the deadly sickle-claw strike that dromaeosaurids are known for. The movement also creates the impression of the figure running in mid-stride. Despite the legs being somewhat loose because of the mechanism, the figure stands stably in a natural resting pose. The tail moves left and right as a loose articulated joint but has no button of its own.
- Jaw (articulated)
- Both legs (killer claw kick, action feature)
- Arms (forward and back, stiff initially)
- Wrists (pronated, not correctly positioned)
- Tail (left and right, loose joint)
Verdict Should I buy it?
Yes. The Dromaeosaurus is one of the more enjoyable Strike Attack figures in the Survival line. The crazy color scheme is genuinely one of the best in the range, the feather detail is crisp and vibrant throughout, the killer claw kick action feature is thematically appropriate, and the combination of a Jurassic World-style raptor head with a fully feathered body creates a design that has its own distinctive identity. The figure is slightly smaller than a standard Mattel Velociraptor this does not affect how enjoyable the figure is to hold and play with.

3. About the Dunkleosteus
"She has a coat of feathers, for she is able to generate heat in her body, and needs to retain all she can, a challenge for all dinosaurs in these cold latitudes."
Dromaeosaurus albertensis is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 80 to 69 million years ago, in what is now Alberta, Canada and the western United States. Its name means “running lizard,” derived from the Greek dromeus (runner) and sauros (lizard). It was described by paleontologists William Diller Matthew and Barnum Brown in 1922 from fossils discovered during Barnum Brown’s 1914 expedition to the Red Deer River, an area that is now part of Dinosaur Provincial Park. Dromaeosaurus is notable as the type genus of the entire Dromaeosauridae family, meaning it gave the group its name and is its defining member.
Despite being similar in length to Velociraptor at approximately 2 metres (6.5 feet), Dromaeosaurus was significantly more heavily built, with a deeper snout, more robust teeth, and a notably more powerful bite. Studies estimate its bite force at nearly three times that of Velociraptor, suggesting it relied more heavily on its jaws than its sickle claw to subdue prey, which is unusual among its relatives. The teeth show heavy wear consistent with crushing and tearing bone rather than simply slicing flesh. Although no feather fossils have been directly attributed to Dromaeosaurus, its close relationship to feathered dromaeosaurids makes a full or partial feather covering scientifically plausible, and Mattel’s feathered Survival design is consistent with current scientific understanding of the group.
Yes. The Survival Strike Attack Dromaeosaurus is slightly smaller than the standard Mattel Velociraptor, which is surprising given both sit in the Strike Attack size range. It is closer in size to the Mattel Dilophosaurus. The real Dromaeosaurus albertensis was similar in length to Velociraptor, so the relative sizing is the figure’s choice rather than a scientific one.
The action feature activates both legs in a kicking motion, mimicking the killer sickle-claw attack that dromaeosaurids are known for. The motion also gives the impression of the figure running. The tail is a separate loose articulated joint rather than a button-activated feature.
Dromaeosaurus was more heavily built than Velociraptor despite similar length, and had a bite force estimated at nearly three times that of Velociraptor. It is thought to have relied more on its powerful jaws than on its sickle claw to kill prey, unlike most other dromaeosaurids. It is also the type genus of the entire Dromaeosauridae family, giving the group its name.
It is plausible. No feather fossils have been directly attributed to Dromaeosaurus albertensis itself, but its close relationship to other feathered dromaeosaurids makes a full or partial feather covering consistent with current scientific understanding of the group. Mattel’s feathered Survival design is therefore more scientifically grounded than it might initially appear.
