New Jurassic World Dominion Toys Include Nifty AR Features
"Jurassic World: Dominion" comes roaring (I said what I said) into theaters on June 10, 2022, and our own Ryan Scott just broke down the epic trailer that was recently released. Dinosaurs have spread all over the globe and people are trying to adjust. They're roaming the plains, threatening our heroes, and in one case, being both terrifying and adorable at the same time. You can recreate this turn of events in your own home with some new toys from "Jurassic World: Dominion" that are ready for pre-order at Walmart (via Collider).
You want a dinosaur battle? You're getting a dinosaur battle! It seems a bit macabre to me, but there are four new toys available for pre-order (though one looks like you might be able to get it now in certain locations) that not only have an AR component, but allow you to damage your dinos visibly. The Jurassic World Dominion Extreme Damage Feature creatures come in velociraptor, coelurus, allosaurus, and T-Rex form.
Poor Dinos!
First up is the Jurassic World Dominion Extreme Damage Feature Velociraptor, which retails for $10.28. Yes, unlike a lot of the toys we post about, this one isn't going to force you to mortgage your house and live in a fort built of toys. The Velociraptor does seem to be available in some places, but it will depend on your zip code. It's not available at my local quite yet. These dinos have two-sided damage which you can reveal by pushing a button. They're three inches tall and 6.7 inches wide.

The AR part of each of these dinos is really cool, letting you learn more about the species and examine it, as well as seeing it in your own home. Walmart says:
Download the free Jurassic World Facts app (Android and iOS) and find the hidden DNA code and scan it with any smart device to initiate Augmented Reality options. Kids can study the dinosaur in the lab with fun visual learning and explore different modes, like thermal and x-ray! Then take it to the next level and bring dinosaurs into our world through AR — make the dinosaur appear in any room. RUN!

The coelurus is four inches by 7.5 inches, and since you might be less familiar with this species, here is some info (that your children probably already know). A coelurus comes from the late Jurassic period, 155-152 million years ago (the late Kimmeridgian faunal stage) and the name means "hollow tail." (Their tail vertebrae are hollow.) It's sometimes confused with the ornitholestes. It was discovered in 1879 by Othniel Charles Marsh. Didn't know you were going to get a dinosaur lesson when you clicked on this link, did you?
