Mattel - New for 2023

[Gwangi]

Picked up the Borealopelta this past weekend at my local Walmart. Xuanhanosaurus and Prestosuchus were there too. Distribution seems to have improved with this wave.

[Flaffy]

Tuojiangosaurus. Glad to see paint prices dropping and thus tail paint returning

[Faelrin]

That looks really nice for what it's worth. I might have to pick that one up. I'm gonna go update the 2024's op with that. Hope we get a better pic of the Kaprosuchus soon.

[Gwangi]

That's a decent figure, at least all the plates are their own color. I might get this one.

[suspsy]

Yeesh. Tuojiangosaurus is one of the biggest known stegosaurs, but look at how puny Mattel made it. Should at least have been a Roarivore-type.

Saw a teaser for a new vehicle set, looks like the Einiosaurus us getting reissued.

That's good to hear, I never got the original Einiosaurus, doubt the paintjob will be as appealing though.

Me either. Probably like the Scutosaurus I guess but it might be better? I've seen that happen once or twice.


Was anyone else disappointed in Target's Beyond the Gates reveal this week? Way to drop the ball..again.  I didn't really want the Owen and Blue HC set either but at least it was totally new.

[Skorpio V.]

The Tuojiangosaurus is really promising! Psyched to see the paint come back on the tail and every plate!! The gaps between the plates is very apparent but still a standout among the other stegosaurs in the line.

True, I actually like the new Scutosaurus better.

What was the Beyond the Gates reveal? Wasn't it the already released baby T. rex and Stegosaurus? Yeah, I would take an Owen and Blue over that. Fun Fact: I do not have a single Owen or Blue in my collection.

Yeah, it was disappointing. I already have the little Rex, had him for months now. I wasn't really in a hurry to get the Steg either. 

Really? I have maybe three Owens and about as many Blues.

I know, most collectors have too many Owens and Blues. I never felt compelled to buy a standalone Blue or Owen (I only collect characters from the original JP) and there was never a set that they were included in that appealed to me. I would probably get Blue, Owen, and Clair if they were released in the Hammond Collection though.

I'm still hoping for a JW Claire, we never received that version.

Definitely. If they release a Jurassic World Claire and Owen I'll get them. Probably wouldn't get any other characters from Jurassic World though. Just not as much a fan as I am of Jurassic Park.

I don't know..Hoskins with a torn apart feature would be cool, Masrani with his helicopter lol Lowerly with his old JP shirt?  The rest didn't really do much but I would mind a Jimmy Buffet figure running with his margaritas either..

They should all certainly exist, even if I don't personally want them. Probably would need Barry too, especially since he came back for Dominion. The kids in the Gyro also. Jimmy Buffet would make for a nice Comic Con figure.

True, odd they didn't make him for that film even. lol that would be a great SDCC exclusive. I'm betting we get Stan Winston next.

I need Ramsay Cole and JWD Dr. Wu to do the final battle scene.

We also need JWD Dodgson. And Franklin, for Franklin's sake. And Barry since he's in JWD, though I have a Chap Mei guy who is my stand-in for Barry and works pretty well.

Do we need JPIII-JW figures? No, not really. JPIII's Hasbro cast is complete in the same scale except for the Mercenaries and "NNNNOOO NOOOOT YEEET" guy (we don't really need him). As for JW? More ACU personnel maybe, and Hoskins.

Playsets. Need more playsets.

[Gwangi]

"NNNNOOO NOOOOT YEEET" guy (we don't really need him). 

We do need him, and he needs to have an action feature that plays that line.

Seriously, that's probably the most quoted JP3 in my household.
