Plesiosaurus Frenzy Pack
Mattel has made a lot of plesiosaurs, and most of them look goofy — tiny head, oversized teeth, no menace at all. This Survival release is the first one that genuinely looks dangerous: near-black blue, teal accents and a collar of rubber spikes around the neck.

🌊 Finally, a Plesiosaur With Some Menace
Mattel has a lot of plesiosaurs across its toy lines, and they usually end up looking goofy — small heads, big teeth, more cartoon than predator. This is by far their most menacing-looking Plesiosaurus, and most of that comes down to the darker paint and the spiked neck.
“Another creature from the ancient oceans. This time, a Plesiosaurus. It has a flat body, an elongated tail, and four powerful flippers that help it glide through the water. Like modern-day sea mammals, it has to come up for air. It basically spends its time surfing and eating – which is, heh, not a bad way to live.”
— Owen Grady
What Is Frenzy Pack?
Frenzy Pack is one of several sub-lines inside Jurassic World Survival, alongside Wild Roar, Strike Attack, Gigantic Thrashers and the rest. It is the smaller, simpler tier — no sounds, no lights, no spring-loaded gimmick — so the sculpt and the paint carry the figure. The openable jaw is the series’ signature feature.
Other Frenzy Pack releases on the site include Dimetrodon, Monolophosaurus and Champsosaurus.
Paint & Colour Scheme
The long-necked marine reptile is painted in a very dark blue that reads as almost black at certain angles, which is what gives this version its weight compared to the brighter plesiosaurs Mattel has shipped before. Over that sit striking accents in a vibrant teal or seafoam green — the same colour family used on previous Plesiosaurus releases, so the line still feels connected.
The Sculpt
A familiar body, better finished
The sculpt is familiar — almost identical to the Epic Evolution version — but it has been reworked rather than simply reissued. There are added details across the body, a better paint scheme over the top, and the new Survival spikes. The four flippers and the flat, broad body are the same shape as before, and they still read correctly for the animal.
The neck spikes
Like most of the Survival line, this Plesiosaurus carries a lot of spikes — here they ring the neck, which is exactly the right place to put them on an animal that is otherwise all smooth curves. They are the single change that turns a gentle-looking sea reptile into something you would not want to meet.
Articulation
✓ Jaw — opens wide✗ No action feature✗ No sounds or lights
The Frenzy Pack signature feature is the openable jaw, and that is what you get here: closed for a calm swimming pose, or opened wide to show off that beautiful smile. With four flippers and no legs there is not much else to articulate, so this is a figure you set down and look at rather than one you pose.
Verdict: Should You Buy It?
If you have been skipping Mattel’s plesiosaurs because they all looked a bit silly, this is the one to pick up. The near-black blue, the tight teal markings and the ring of rubber spikes around the neck finally give the species some presence, and the added body detail is a real improvement on the Epic Evolution mould it is based on. It is still a Frenzy Pack figure, so the openable jaw is the whole feature set — but for a marine reptile with no legs to pose, that matters less than it would elsewhere in the line.

About the Plesiosaurus
Plesiosaurus dolichodeirus swam the shallow seas of the Early Jurassic, roughly 199 to 175 million years ago, and is known best from the Lyme Regis coast in Dorset, England. The name means “near lizard” — when it was first described in the 1820s it was read as something close to, but not quite, a lizard. Mary Anning found the first reasonably complete skeleton there in 1823.
It is not a dinosaur. Plesiosaurs are sauropterygians, a separate branch of marine reptiles, and like the pliosaurs they had to surface to breathe. The build is unmistakable: a small head on a long neck, a broad flat body, a short tail, and four large flippers used in an underwater flight stroke rather than a paddling one.
The teeth were long, thin and interlocking — a trap for fish and soft-bodied prey rather than a bone-crusher. Plesiosaurs did not come ashore to lay eggs; a fossil of the related Polycotylus preserved with a single large embryo showed that they gave birth to live young at sea.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is painted a very dark blue that reads as almost black at some angles, with striking bright accents in a vibrant teal or seafoam green. A ring of rubber spikes runs around the neck — the Survival line’s signature addition.
The sculpt is almost identical. This version adds extra body detail, a better paint scheme and the Survival neck spikes, which together make it look considerably more menacing than the earlier release.
Yes — they are moulded in rubber rather than hard plastic, so they flex. They are safe to play with, and survivable to step on, which will happen eventually.
No. The Frenzy Pack signature feature is the openable jaw, which can be closed or opened wide. There are no sounds, lights or spring-loaded mechanisms.
No. Plesiosaurs are sauropterygians, a separate branch of marine reptiles, and they breathed air at the surface. Plesiosaurus dolichodeirus lived in the Early Jurassic seas around what is now Dorset, England.
