Tuojiangosaurus Strike Attack
Tuojiangosaurus is a plated dinosaur from China and the first stegosaur from Asia known from a nearly complete skeleton. Mattel added it to the first Strike Attack wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution as a cream figure with a spotted back, tall brown plates and a press-to-strike tail. Here is what the figure looks like, the skeleton that made it famous, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Museum Mount: Asia’s First Stegosaur Skeleton
Tuojiangosaurus put Asian stegosaurs on the map.
The species name multispinus means many spines, after the rows of plates and spikes along its back.
What Is Strike Attack?
Strike Attack is the action assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line. Each figure has one built-in strike move: press the button on its back and it lunges into an attack, no batteries needed. They also have movable joints and a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App.
Tuojiangosaurus came in the first Strike Attack wave of Epic Evolution, alongside Kaprosuchus, Guaibasaurus and Velociraptor.
Paint and Colours
A pale, patterned scheme. The body is a creamy sand colour with dark brown spots across the back. The tall back plates are rusty brown, and the tail spikes and side spines are a lighter cream.
Sculpt and Detail
Plates and spikes
Two rows of pointed plates run down the neck and back, turning into long spikes on the tail. Small spines also stick out from the sides.
Head and legs
The head is small and low with a beak. The back legs are longer than the front, giving the classic stegosaur arch.
