Mattel - New for 2023

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

The new Red Rex still pales in comparison of the old, mostly it's size and coloration.  I think they are each fine on their own but to place them side by side..

Holy moly, those egg things look weird, but hey, that's the fierce changers for you.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I'm really not into this fierce changers line. Maybe they'll be an underdog hit, but I just don't see the appeal.

Funny how Hasbro sucks at making dinosaurs but succeeds at making Transformers while Mattel sucks at making Transformers but succeeds at making dinosaurs.

Yeah, you have a point, but the ones David Silva made in 2011 were very nice.

[Eatmycar]

They got lucky, lol.

I'm frankly glad Dave left Hasbro - the Styracosaurus and the "Pachyrhinosaurus" he did for the Jurassic line had to be extremely stylized and look awful next to their BoTM counterparts.

Check back for re-stocks and updates.

In box pics of the wave 2 small HC figures have surfaced. Gotta say I am disappointed with how the baby T. rex and Stegosaurus turned out. I pre-ordered both of those too on Entertainment Earth.

The sculpts are good, but I really do feel like the coloration on the prototype pics were much better for both the baby T. rex and Stegosaurus. The baby Stegosaurus should have had brown or cream, like last year's Legacy figure, not this bright yellow, and the stripes are way too bold (especially on the legs), on the baby T. rex. I mean it really isn't that hard to find images of the animatronics, etc to reference from, and go from there. Just wish there was more TLC overall for this "collector's" line.

Anyways here's the pics (from Toyopolis):

Yikes, yeah the baby Rex received a major downgrade. Certainly not as excited as I was.



The markings on the baby steg's face are the biggest issue for me, the rest looks about right.

At a little over 13 inches long, I don't know that i'd call it a GIGANTIC tracker but the feet are sure gigantic.

I can imagine how the Psittacosaurus like quills are going to be received.  I kinda like the idea, but not the execution.  I kinda like the paint scheme too.  But I don't think BOTM has anything to worry about from this figure...

[Eatmycar]

I don't think BoTM has anything to worry about from anyone, except for Hammond Collection sometimes. Mattel is, for better or worse, not as reliant on vocal fans for deciding what comes next. That does give them some incredible leverage to be honest. BoTM getting to Concavenator or Metriacanthosaurus seems like such a long shot with all of the requests and pushes it is getting.

Cyberzoic? Cenozoic? 1/35th scale hopes?

It's a lot. I think BoTM and Hammond can coexist nicely together.

Habitat Defender Triceratops is up : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN175ZJ7/?coliid=ID1DD20X8GPVV&colid=3Q7GMH8UQ62C1&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

For a second there I thought John Hammond and Dennis Nedry had extra hands to flick off the dinosaurs.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I did get the Gigantspinosaurus yesterday. It's not a bad figure, the only one I have of the species so far.

I started to collect the mini packs several weeks ago, mainly as mechanism to deter me from buying sweets. I'm on a diet (Dr's orders)....the packs cost about as much as a bag of Nerds Gummy Clusters (my most coveted vice).

But I have to say, I've really enjoyed collecting them. I think I like them better than the FK series. Maybe it's the rubbery material and the varying scales. They also make great little "fidgets" (I'm an adult with autism, and have a terrible habit of picking my cuticles almost to the point of bleeding), so I usually have one or two in my pocket.

Having trouble finding the sets though. I really want to a human figure for scale!
