We mainly manufacture two types of dinosaur costumes, namely the ones with hidden legs and the ones with visile legs. They have no differences in operation method or size. The most notable difference lies in their appearance and shape, especially the difference in the design of the legs, which is the most obvious.

If one wants to conduct a more in-depth study, the details can be described from six aspects: “operation method“, “operation duration“, “energy conservation“, “wearing method“, “packaging method“, and “specific operation during transportation“.

1. Make a comparison of the dinosaur suits parameters

HIDDEN LEGS DINOSAUR COSTUME

Size	Weight	Movement	Soound Effect	Voltage	Electrical Equipment
4 meters in length; 1.8 meters in height; the width is in proportion to the length and height	22KG	Mouth open & close, head left to right, eyes blink, neck up & down, body shake, tail sway, walk, run	Lifelike dinosaur roaring sound	24V safe	Monitor, camera, battery, fans, sound box, speaker

VISIBLE LEGS DINOSAUR COSTUME

Size	Weight	Movement	Sound Effect	Voltage	Electrical Equipment
4 meters in length; 1.8 meters in height; the width is in proportion to the length and height	18KG	Mouth open & close, head left to right, eyes blink, neck up & down, body shake, tail sway, walk, run	Lifelike dinosaur roaring sound	24V safe	Monitor, camera, battery, fans, sound box, speaker

Based on the comparison of the above physical characteristics, the difference between the two lies in the disparity in weight. That is, the dinosaur suit with legs hidden is heavier than the dinosaur suit without hidden legs. The hidden legs dinosaurs costume indeed used more materials for their legs compared to those without hidden legs.

2. Differences of operation method

After the performers put on their costumes, their mobility will be affected by the counter-force exerted by the shape of the costumes. Only through continuous practice, the differences in operation methods can be reduced .

3. Differences of operation duration

The performance duration usually varies depending on the physical condition and endurance of the performer. For simplicity, we divide the performers into three stages: those with no experience, beginners with two weeks of experience, and experienced ones who have performed for more than three months. This way, the difference in duration will be more convincing.

After making such a comparison, we found that although the “hidden-legs dinosaur suit” is heavier in weight, it has a good level of comfort for the human body, so the duration of the performance is usually longer.

No matter what level of performer you are, if fatigue occurs, please immediately remove the dinosaur suit and get adequate rest before considering putting it on to perform the role.

Factors affecting the performances duration in summer:

• No matter what level of performer it is, during the summer, the duration of their performances will be reduced by 20% compared to usual.
• If the outdoor temperature reaches 40 degrees, please make sure to take a break after performing for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the situation.
• Even when there is air conditioning in the room, the performance duration will be about 5% shorter than usual.

All of the above are based on a wealth of experience. We welcome users with more profound experiences to share their insights here.

4. Differences of energy conservation

There are two different dinosaur costumes, and they differ in weight. Therefore, the physical exertion required after the performance also varies. And this difference can even surprise you! Indeed, the dinosaur costumes with hidden legs, which are heavier, require less physical effort when operated and performed.

The reasons are as follows:

• After wearing hidden legs dinosaur costume, because the shape of the dinosaur’s legs is much more robust, the movements of the internal actors’ legs during the performance are relatively easier. On the contrary, the visible legs dinosaur costumes were designed because the actors’ legs were pulled by the counterforce, which made the performance more physically demanding.
• After the actors wearing the two types of dinosaur costumes have performed for 20 to 30 minutes, the actors who put on leg-revealing dinosaur costumes will expend 30% to 40% more energy to cope with the performance.

5. Differences of wearing method

There are two completely different ways to wear the two kinds of dinosaur costumes. In terms of the steps, it is obviously easier to wear the dinosaur costume that does not cover the legs.

The steps for wearing both are as follows:

NOTIFICATION：The hidden legs dinosaur costume requires the assistance of an extra person to be put on, which is another obvious difference.

6. Differences of packaging method

The two types of dinosaur costumes were also different when packed by the workers! If the packaging method is incorrect, it will directly affect whether the products will deform during the later transportation process.

7. Differences of specific operation during transportation

Before transportation, the two types of dinosaur costumes should be placed in the packaging box in a way that prevents them from being damaged or deformed. The customers still receive them in perfect condition after receiving the goods only in this way .

How exactly should it be done?

HIDDEN LEGS DINOSAUR SUIT – After putting the dinosaur costume into the wooden box as a whole, place 1 to 2 packs of sponge under the head. This can ensure its stability and prevent it from shaking during transportation.

VISIBLE LEGS DINOSAUR SUIT – After putting the dinosaur costume into the wooden box as a whole, place one package of sponge at the head and tail respectively. This can ensure its stability and prevent it from shaking during transportation.

The reason for transporting in this way is to position the sponge in this manner. It is also because the extent of the remaining space after the two items are placed in the wooden box requires this sponge padding to ensure a more secure transportation.

8. Differences of performance

This difference is actually not very significant. The most obvious aspect is that the visible legs dinosaur costumes allow the audience to see the actors’ legs movements. Such a method might make customers who have high requirements for the performance feel it is rather fake. As a spectator, you can enjoy the performances of both of them by yourself.

Conclusion

After you finish reading these 8 differences, I’m sure you will have your own understanding of dinosaur costumes. If you really need such dinosaur costumes to boost your business, you can first consider the differences between the two types of costumes, and then decide which one to purchase.
