Utahceratops Strike Attack Everything we know so far about Mattel's first ever Utahceratops — the horned giant with a skull over two metres long
Utahceratops is one of the brand new species in Jurassic World Primal Ambush, Mattel’s 2027 toy line, and it arrives in the first wave of the Strike Attack assortment. The figure has been listed but no pictures have been released yet, so this page gathers what is confirmed so far alongside the story of the real animal. The full hands-on review, DNA scan code and photo gallery will be added here once it is released.

▲ What We Know So Far
Utahceratops has never had a Mattel Jurassic World figure before. It is confirmed for the first wave of Primal Ambush Strike Attack under product code JPG92, alongside Berberosaurus, Eustreptospondylus and a re-released Pteranodon. No packaging or figure images have appeared yet, so its colours and sculpt are still unknown. Judging by the Primal Ambush figures that have been shown, expect a stylised design with exaggerated features and bold colours rather than a strict museum reconstruction. We will update this page as soon as pictures are released.
🔬 Why This Species Is Worth Knowing
Utahceratops had one of the largest skulls of any land animal, at about 2.3 metres long. Its horns were unlike those of Triceratops: a big horn on the nose, and two short, stubby brow horns that pointed out to the sides, a little like the horns of a bison. It lived on Laramidia, a long, narrow landmass that was cut off from the rest of North America by an inland sea, and its discovery helped show that the north and south of that island each had their own, different sets of dinosaurs.
Features & Articulation
✓ Strike Attack assortment✓ Product code JPG92? Strike feature — to be confirmed? Head and legs — to be confirmed? Tail — to be confirmed
Strike Attack is the action-feature assortment in Primal Ambush. In earlier Mattel lines, each Strike Attack figure had a single attack move worked by a button or lever, and for horned dinosaurs that was usually a head butt or charge. We expect something similar here, but the feature for this figure has not been shown. We will test it, along with every joint, and add the results here.
Size & Specs
Utahceratops ships in the first wave of Strike Attack alongside Berberosaurus, Eustreptospondylus and Pteranodon. Mattel has not published measurements, so we will add the length and height, plus a size comparison with other Mattel ceratopsians, as soon as we can put a ruler to it.
Early Verdict — One to Watch?
On species choice alone, yes. Horned dinosaurs are reliable sellers, and Mattel has worked through a long list of them, but Utahceratops and its sideways brow horns have been missing until now. If the sculpt captures that unusual horn arrangement, it will stand out in a ceratopsian line-up. Beyond that there is very little to judge yet: with no pictures released, the sculpt, colours, strike feature and articulation are all unknown. This is not a review, and we will give a proper verdict once we have the figure.

About the Utahceratops
Utahceratops gettyi was a large horned dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of southern Utah, living about 76 million years ago. Its fossils come from the Kaiparowits Formation in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It was named in 2010 by a team led by Scott Sampson, in the same paper as the many-horned Kosmoceratops. The name means “Utah horned face”, and the species honours Mike Getty, who found the first skeleton.
It was six to seven metres long and weighed three to four tonnes, about the size of a large rhinoceros with a far bigger head. Like its relative Chasmosaurus, it had a long neck frill with large openings in the bone, which kept the weight down.
In the Late Cretaceous a shallow sea ran down the middle of North America. Utahceratops lived on the western side, on the island continent of Laramidia, in a wet, swampy coastal plain. Dinosaurs of the same age found further north in Alberta belong to different species, which suggests that something, perhaps climate or a physical barrier, kept the northern and southern communities apart.

Yes. The Primal Ambush Strike Attack Utahceratops is the first Utahceratops figure Mattel has produced for the Jurassic World toy line.
Utahceratops was six to seven metres long and weighed three to four tonnes. Its skull alone was about 2.3 metres long.
Both were large horned dinosaurs, but Utahceratops lived about ten million years earlier and had short brow horns pointing sideways and a long frill with large openings. Triceratops had long forward-pointing brow horns and a solid frill.
Once the figure is released, open the Jurassic World Play App, tap the Scan button, and point it at the DNA code on the Utahceratops figure. The code is not available yet, and we will add it to this page on release.
