Dan Surprise's unboxing and review of the latest Hammond Collection releases.

Just a heads up, not sure if it's been showing up elsewhere but I just saw the '93 Ray Arnold set at Target. The app has it scheduled for the 21st so it might still be locked. I didn't try since I'm traveling and couldn't transport it back with me.

Missed opportunity to have it be in rubber too like the red rex

Would've picked it up in a heartbeat otherwise.

New figure from a new line from Mattel revealed; Jurassic World Re-Imagined Legacy Collection Roarin' Real Feel "Demon" Kenner-like Carnotaurus;

After the Hammond Collection release and the Nanmu releases, it's one of the best Jurassic World Carnotaurus figures. If this is what the first offering from this new line from Mattel looks like, I can't wait to see what Mattel has more to reveal for this line.

After Mattel released the HC Carnotaurus I thought I was done with Carno figures. Think again! I'll have to get this one. I'm glad that this is the direction the JW Imagined line is taking.

Blade-of-the-Moon · July 24, 2024, 01:28:07 PM

It's pretty nice and one I'll pic up if for nothing more than that nostalgic "Demon " feel. Should have tossed in his capture gear too.

I'm a bit confused about the line as this wasn't anywhere near what I was expecting and the descriptions don't help a ton either.

QuoteTarget exclusive. The fiercest dinos roar to life in this new collection featuring real-feel textures, roarin' sounds & retro-themed deco.

This statement sounds like it's a dino only line where we will get Kenner repaints? If that's true I'm not super thrilled about the removal of vehicles and accessories and of course no new humans. JP/JW is around 90% dinos but you still need a human element to be Jurassic Park/World.

i like the paint scheme on the Demon Carno but i guess it's just a repaint of the Hammond one? Still has the same problems of arms that are too big and horns that are too far back on the head.

It's not just a repaint. It has real feel skin and only the arms and legs are articulated. Also, really? The arms are too big and horns too far back? You're not expecting accuracy from your DEMON Carnotaurus, are you? Anyway, the arms are smaller than those on the HC toy which had articulated elbows. This one is only articulated at the shoulder. They're like those on the Action Attack and Control N' Conquer Carnotaurus.

Everything the Young rex should've been and more!

Was a big fan of the real feel rex, so I'm definitely going to pick the Carnotaurus up. Especially since the Kenner Demon Carno was always out of my price range. Mattel has recreated the colour scheme perfectly, down to the white claws and green eyes! The fact that the entire head of the Carnotaurus is rubber too rather than hard plastic is a great touch, improves upon the previous "real feel" figure.

My only gripes would be the lack of red paint down the tip of the tail, as well as the unnecessary & distracting DNA flap on the leg.

It's a neat figure and great that they're going in this direction. I can't stand the unnecessary scan codes, though. Is there a reason Mattel stopped putting them on the bottom of their feet?

Idk, maybe because the stickers were eroding

I could not be more hyped. Glad we got a classic Kenner style Demon after all these years. And it has the better arms with no elbows. Release date is in November. A bit of a wait for sure, but can't wait to add this one to my Carno collection.

Now that i've seen better pics, i can see the arms are a lot smaller, which is good. The in box picture of the figure looks nice. As far as the accuracy and the horns....well, i guess i keep hopin' lol. The BOTM Carnotaurus is still so far away...

All the Mattel Carnos have horns that are too far back.....is that the way the Carno is designed in the JW world?
