Danger Pack Figure Guide
Plesiosaurus Danger Pack
Plesiosaurus is the marine reptile that gave a whole group its name, and the first complete skeleton was found by the famous fossil hunter Mary Anning. Mattel added it to the first Danger Pack wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution in 2024 as a long-necked swimmer in charcoal and pale grey, with a red-orange head. Here is what the figure looks like, the story of the skeleton that fooled an expert, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Fossil Story: The Neck Nobody Believed
When Mary Anning found the first complete Plesiosaurus, one of the most famous scientists in Europe thought it was a fake.
Cuvier accepted he was wrong, and Anning, a working-class woman with no formal schooling, became one of the most important fossil hunters in history.
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.
Plesiosaurus came in the first Danger Pack wave of 2024, alongside Poposaurus, Avaceratops and the Eoraptor vs Stegouros two-pack.
Paint and Colours
A sleek ocean scheme. The back and the top of the neck are a dark charcoal grey, fading to pale grey on the flippers and belly, the classic countershading of sea animals. The head has a red-orange cap and the open mouth shows a row of white teeth.
Sculpt and Detail
Head and neck
The head is small with a long, toothy snout and an opening jaw. The neck is long and smooth, curving forward as if the animal is reaching for a fish.
Body and flippers
The body is wide and flat with four big paddle flippers and a short tail. The flippers are posable, so the figure can look like it is swimming or resting.

Like every Danger Pack figure, Plesiosaurus keeps things simple: posable flippers, an opening jaw and no electronics. It pairs well with bigger sea reptiles for an underwater scene.
Size and Specs
Small, hand-sized figure for ages 4 and up. Look for the Epic Evolution logo and the red-orange head on a grey body.
Is It Worth Buying?
Plesiosaurus is a great buy if you want marine reptiles in your collection. It is the namesake of a whole group, the paint is clean, and it needs no batteries. Land dinosaur fans can skip it.
It came out in 2024 in the first Danger Pack wave.

About Plesiosaurus
Plesiosaurus was named in 1821 by Henry De la Beche and William Conybeare, from bones found on the Dorset coast of England. The name means near to lizard.
It lived in the Early Jurassic, about 199 to 183 million years ago, in shallow seas over what is now southern England. Adults were about 3 to 3.5 m long.
Plesiosaurus was not a dinosaur but a marine reptile. It swam with four large flippers and caught fish and squid with its sharp teeth.
