Mattel - New for 2024

[Carnoking]

I'd probably skip it without much thought if not for the fact that the previous battle damage spino is now somewhat of a high dollar item from the Mattel line. Don't want to miss the boat with this one only to realize it's something I do want after all.

[Faelrin]

Straight up looking like a zombie. Hope I can get my hands on this one.

I love this thing in terms of color, the new tail and legs, and the modern-ish sail.

But... really? I just have no compelling reason to get it. Like, if this was the 2018 Battle Damage one, I would've been all over eBay for this guy. I'll wait for the inevitable Hammond Collection Spinosaurus. They keep giving us main line and other weird Spinosaurs in the side lines, surely a Hammond one is in the future at some point.

[Flaffy]

The Spinosaurus is certainly... something... A weird amalgamation between accuracy and JW. I do wonder what prompted the design change in the sail.

Hopefully better pics of the Becklespinax surface soon. That's the one I'm interested in. The full body image posted above is a photobash of the leaked head+torso with the Megalosaurus's body+tail.

Why oh why did I start collecting sailbacks? Mattel gonna be using my wallet as a piñata this year. 💸

The Becklespinax is pretty interesting looking.  The Spino is neat but not something I NEED.

Precisely my thoughts. Again, hopefully with the new Spino sculpt, this means that a HC version is not far off in Mattel's labs.

I would bet next year. We get the Giga this year which is also pretty needed after the one figure was such a let down.

I don't think there is any confirmation that we're getting a Giga this year, the image that was floating around social media was an April Fool's prank.

That image was courtesy of Marco Makes (like he wasn't annoying enough...) but way before April Fools, rumors started to spread about a HC Giganotosaurus and Therizinosaurus, and the Theri turned out to be real, so why not the Giga.

JPToys has it listed in the 2024 releases, Collect Jurassic also gave hints a while ago...

Thanks for the clarification. The Giga definitely needs an HC figure since the mainline one was trash.

Darius and Atrociraptor "Ghost" Set:

[Carnoking]

Oh no, the crouching Raptor mold has been reincarnated

Oh no, the crouching Raptor mold has been reincarnated

The mold came out 2 years ago!   Honestly, I kind of want this set, not for the raptor, but for that sick taser!

Not exactly Jurassic World or dinosaur themed per se (although has some connections to a particular line that did), but Mattel is offering new figures of the Street Sharks for their 30th anniversary. No idea if this will interest folks here, but I thought I would announce it here anyways, since I absolutely loved these growing up, and had like most of the characters (shared with my younger brother). My favorite was the orca one when I was a kid (wish they were bringing that one back), but I do also remember playing with the drill face dude a lot too.

Funny enough I only just learned of this because I thought to look up the show, because I couldn't figure out what the brown or orange one was meant to be, due watching it just the other day. Basically my father, and I were looking for shows to watch on Tubi (edit: might have actually been on Pluto Kids. We have a bunch of those free streaming apps on my dad's Xbox, and I always get them mixed up), and we came across it. I haven't watched it since I was a kid, so it was a blast of nostalgia for me, since they formed some of my earliest toy memories (along with the show too of course). But yeah note to self, the brown/orange one is a whale shark. I guess if it was blue and lacked the sharp teeth, it would have been more obvious to me.

Anyways, some information on them. Packaging seems to be a throwback to the first series/wave, as well as the action features, and they feature more articulation in line with modern action figures. Already pre-ordered the first wave on BBTS.

Wow, I remember these now!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I had almost all of them at one point and the Extreme Dinosaurs. I just have too much to collect now to get them again.
