Same scale as all other similarly released figures in the line.

Went to Target yesterday. Lots of new stuff mingling with Dominion toys. Only HC I saw was the Concavenator, but I did get the two Human/Dino JP30 packs, bought dilo set with my allowance, galli set will be a birthday present. Dilo is beautiful, but quite small.

Head sculpt looks new? Something about it looks a bit off though. Like the crests should be taller, etc. Could just be the angle too though.

Seems most of the sculpt is new, but unfortunately, the arms seem to be the same.

Hammond Collection Concavenator is showing up in stores now? Sweet. Nice of Target to finally stock some new HC dinos.

Interesting. Well, hopefully they'll get in the rest of the wave like the Anky and JP3 raptor. I'll have to keep an eye on my stores.

Well, I've been disappointed to have found nothing new at Target so far. Grabbed the Concavenator at Best Buy over the weekend.

However, after Target today, I went to Fred Meyer and was surprised to find Xuanhanosaurus, Tupandactylus, and Piatnitzkysaurus already hanging from their hooks, and for 20% off! I bought the Xuanhan and may hold off on the other two. I've decided I REALLY don't like Mattel adding teeth to animals that had none aside from the JP3 Pteranodon. Really looking forward to finding the HC Geosternbergia for partially that reason. The Piatnitzkysaurus I guess just isn't that interesting to me in the end.

Thanks to P @PaleoCollector , the mystery is solved! Kryptops is joining the Mattel line-up! Still amuses me that Mattel of all companies has the greatest abelisaur diversity on the market.




Leak(?) of the miniature version of the Lythronax that was supposed to be released. Source was from the "jurassic franchise toy server" according to a Twitter user.

I'm of the same opinion regarding teeth. I decided to keep the Tupandactylus in the end as:
- overall it's a pretty nice sculpt with good paint
- Jurassic lisenced pterosaurs are always welcome
- Teeth can be hidden easily by closing its mouth

Faelrin

So that's why it was different, yet similar. Wonder if we'll get a mainline figure of the Kryptops too then. 

Man that Lythronax figure looks nice. Would love a mainline version of that. Feather detail looks great.

As someone in that server I can confirm that's a leak. But it is not confirmed for Lythronax. That's the popular theory. It's not confirmed to be Lythronax, though.

Faelrin

E @Eatmycar Thanks for the correction. Whatever it is I like it.

By the way wanted to let folks know Entertainment Earth has the HC Baby T. rex, baby Stegosaurus, Nedry, and Hammond up for pre-order now with eta of July.

Big Bad Toy Store meanwhile has the Strike Attack Dilophosaurus and Atrociraptor up for pre-order (eta this month), and case of four. No individuals of the other two from what I saw (yet? or maybe they sold out already).

Looks like you beat me to it, I need to stop starting a post and doing other things before posting lol

I think BBTS learned that customers like to mostly buy new ones so they are offering sets with those to try and sell more of the other first.

avatar_Blade-of-the-Moon @Blade-of-the-Moon I do that a lot too lol. Don't feel bad. That said I totally missed the new Indominus was up too so thanks for catching that. I pre-ordered the two babies for now.
