Danger Pack Figure Guide
Apatosaurus Danger Pack
Apatosaurus is one of the most famous long-necked dinosaurs, and the animal at the centre of the long-running Brontosaurus name mix-up. Mattel added a small Apatosaurus to the third Danger Pack wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution in 2024, in a Chaos Theory branded box, as a grey sauropod with an olive and teal patterned neck and back. Here is what the figure looks like, the story of the name, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Name Dispute: Apatosaurus or Brontosaurus?
For more than a century, people argued about whether Brontosaurus was a real dinosaur.
In 2015 a large study of these sauropods suggested Brontosaurus was different enough to be its own genus again. Not every scientist agrees, so the debate goes on.
What Is Danger Pack?
Danger Pack is the smaller, battery-free assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line, the 2024 follow-up to Dino Trackers. The figures have movable joints and a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App, but no sounds or motorised attacks.
Apatosaurus came in the third Danger Pack wave of 2024, alongside the Guanlong vs Lystrosaurus two-pack, Gallimimus and a repack of the Velociraptor. Wave 3 boxes carry Jurassic World Chaos Theory branding from the Netflix series.
Paint and Colours
A natural, patterned scheme. The body is a mid grey, with an olive-yellow band running from the head along the neck and back. The band is dotted with teal-green spots, and the head is a darker grey with a white open mouth.
Sculpt and Detail
Head and neck
The head is small with an opening mouth, sitting on a long neck that rises up and forward. The neck has sculpted skin folds.
Body and legs
Apatosaurus stands on four thick, pillar-like legs with a long tail held out behind. The skin is sculpted with fine scales.
Figure vs fossil
Action Features and Articulation
✓ Posable neck and legs✓ Opening mouth✓ No batteries needed✗ No sound or attack motion
Like every Danger Pack figure, Apatosaurus keeps things simple: posable limbs, a movable neck and no electronics. Being a Danger Pack, it is a small, young-sized sauropod rather than a giant.
Size and Specs
Small figure for ages 4 and up, in a Chaos Theory branded Danger Pack box. Look for the olive and teal pattern on the neck and back.
Is It Worth Buying?
Apatosaurus is an easy way to add a classic long-neck to an Epic Evolution shelf. The pattern on the neck is attractive, though the small size means it cannot match the bigger sauropod figures.
It came out in 2024 in the third Danger Pack wave.

About Apatosaurus
Apatosaurus was named in 1877 by the American palaeontologist Othniel Charles Marsh. The name means deceptive lizard.
It lived in the Late Jurassic, about 152 to 151 million years ago, in what is now the western United States, in the Morrison Formation. Adults were about 21 to 23 m long and weighed around 16 to 22 tonnes.
Apatosaurus was a diplodocid sauropod, a plant eater with a long neck and a whip-like tail. Its neck was very thick and may have been used in fights between rivals.
