Epic Attack Figure Guide
Herrerasaurus Epic Attack
Herrerasaurus is one of the oldest dinosaurs ever found, a Triassic hunter from Argentina that fans of the original Jurassic Park novel will recognise. Mattel made it an Epic Attack figure in Jurassic World Epic Evolution, a dark navy predator with an olive stripe, three levels of light-up battle damage and sound effects. Here is what the figure looks like, where Herrerasaurus appears in the Jurassic Park story, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

It lived in the Late Triassic, about 231 million years ago. It was about 4.5 to 6 m long and weighed around 210 to 350 kg.
