Large dinosaur toys are typically made from plastic, with some using rotocast or similar molded construction to achieve textured, realistic surfaces and detailing.
Poseability varies by line: playline jumbo figures often list around 5 points of articulation, while collector-style jumbo figures commonly offer many more points — examples include 13 or 17 points — for greater posing options.
Electronic jumbo dinosaurs may use small button-cell batteries (for example, LR44) or standard batteries like AA (examples noted: 3 LR44 or 3 AA), while other large figures have no electronic features and require no batteries.
Inclusions vary by product: some jumbo sets include a mini figure (for example, a mini Dilophosaurus included with a Mosasaurus set), while many large figures state that mini figures are sold separately or not included.
Assembly requirements vary: some very large figures require one-time assembly to attach parts such as legs and necks, and several models use simple removable leg or component assembly to make shipping and storage easier.
