Danger Pack Figure Guide
Poposaurus Danger Pack
Poposaurus looks like a dinosaur, walks like a dinosaur, and is not a dinosaur at all. It belongs to the crocodile side of the reptile family tree, yet it ran on two legs millions of years before dinosaurs took over. Mattel added it to the first Danger Pack wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution in 2024 as a slate-blue figure with a rust-red back stripe. Here is what the figure looks like, why the real animal fools people, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Look Twice: Two Legs, Two Families
From the side, Poposaurus could pass for a small meat-eating dinosaur. The bones say otherwise.
A nearly complete skeleton from Utah, described in 2011, finally showed how much its body copied the dinosaur plan.
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.
Poposaurus came in the first Danger Pack wave of 2024, alongside Avaceratops, Plesiosaurus and the Eoraptor vs Stegouros two-pack.
Paint and Colours
A cool, simple scheme. Most of the figure is slate blue, with a pale cream throat and belly. A rust-red stripe runs along the top of the back, and the head has a darker blue-grey snout with orange eyes and a row of white teeth.
Sculpt and Detail
Head and jaw
The head is deep and boxy, with an opening jaw and a row of small sculpted teeth. Skin texture is a fine pebbly scale over the whole body.
Arms and legs
Poposaurus stands upright on long back legs with short arms held forward. The long tail balances the body, just like a theropod dinosaur.
Figure vs fossil
Action Features and Articulation
✓ Movable neck, arms and legs✓ Opening jaw✓ No batteries needed✗ No sound or attack motion
Like every Danger Pack figure, Poposaurus keeps things simple: posable limbs, an opening jaw and no electronics. It is small enough to stand next to Dino Trackers and Epic Evolution dinosaurs for a Triassic scene.
Size and Specs
Small, hand-sized figure for ages 4 and up. Look for the Epic Evolution logo and the blue body with a rust-red back stripe.
Is It Worth Buying?
Poposaurus is a great pick for collectors who like unusual animals. It is one of very few crocodile-line reptiles in the Jurassic World toy range, and the clean blue paint stands out. If you only want famous dinosaurs, you can skip it.
It came out in 2024 in the first Danger Pack wave.
What we like

- Clean blue and rust paint

- No batteries
Good to know
- Not a dinosaur, a crocodile cousin
- Head shape partly guessed

About Poposaurus
Poposaurus was named in 1915 by the American palaeontologist Maurice Mehl, from fossils found in the Popo Agie Formation of Wyoming. The name means Popo Agie lizard.
It lived in the Late Triassic, roughly 230 to 210 million years ago, in what is now the western United States. A nearly complete skeleton from Utah, described in 2011, is about 2.5 m long.
Poposaurus belongs to the pseudosuchians, the crocodile side of the archosaur family. It is one of the best examples of a non-dinosaur that evolved a dinosaur-like, two-legged body.
