Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex Green Soft Plastic Rubber Long Figure Toys R Us 13″
๐ Description
The item is listed as a 13โณ (inch) tall/long figure of a green Tyrannosaurus rex made of soft plastic/rubber for the retailer Toys โRโ Us.
It is described in some listings as โSoft Rubber / Flexibleโ and โLong figureโ referencing the dimension ~13โณ tall/long.
The listing at eBay confirms brand as Toys โRโ Us, color โGreenโ, material โRubberโ.
The โsoftโ nature suggests a squeezable or bendable toy rather than a fully rigid plastic figure.
๐งช Material Used
The listing metadata indicate โMaterial: Rubberโ for the 13โณ green figure.
Another listing (for a similar soft dinosaur toy, though not exactly the same) mentions material as โPVCโ for a 13โณ toy.
Because of the โsoft plastic/rubberโ description, itโs likely the toy uses a softer thermoplastic or elastomeric material (e.g., PVC, TPE, or rubber-like plastic) rather than rigid ABS plastic.
Note: I did not find a manufacturerโs spec sheet confirming the precise material composition (e.g., percentages of PVC, SEBS, etc) for this exact figure.
โ ๏ธ Safety Notes & Considerations
Age-appropriateness: Because it is a 13โณ figure (relatively large) and made of soft rubber/plastic, it is likely intended for children older than very young toddlers (commonly age 3+). However, the listing did not explicitly show a recommended age on the information I found.
Small parts / choking hazard: Soft figurines may have protruding parts (tail, limbs, accessories) that could break off โ if they detach they can become choking hazards. Always inspect the toy for damage.
Material safety / chemical concerns: Toys made of soft plastics or rubber can sometimes contain plasticisers or phthalates. For example, a study found that many PVC/squeeze toys carried high levels of phthalates. In these cases, safety regulations require the toy to comply with standards such as lead-paint bans, phthalate bans, and so forth.
Durability: Soft materials (rubber, elastomer) degrade over time (cracks, brittleness) and can break, which then raises hazards from broken parts, sharp edges, or swallowed fragments.
Cleaning & hygiene: Because the toy is made of rubber/plastic and presumably hollow or flexible, moisture can get trapped or mold can grow in cracks if not cleaned properly.
Regulatory compliance: While I found general toy-safety reports (e.g., on toys with soft plastic materials) I did not find a public recall or safety alert specific to this exact model. That said, the general risk profile for soft plastic/rubber toys is higher than completely rigid plastic, so exercising more caution is warranted.
Packaging caution: If the toy was sold in a flexible plastic bag (or with accessory bags), there is a generic hazard of suffocation for infants if such bags are accessible. While this doesnโt relate solely to the figureโs design, itโs a general toy packaging risk.
