Thanks, avatar_Faelrin @Faelrin, I appreciate that! I've updated the first post. Some of these look pretty nice, just wish they'd do a Microceratus. Also, am I the only one who finds the texture of flocking off-putting?

I haven't seen anything in my stores beyond the last color changers.

I think the latest Captivz in Germany are the 30th Anniversary ones. Most stores that have them at all, however have the first Hatchling wave. 

And yes, I agree that someting about the flocked ones looks off. Isn't flocking prone to coming off?
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I think they look a bit better in the in hand pics and videos, but honestly I prefer the original series of hatchlings.

avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres Microceratus would be great (especially if they did all three film colors, or at the very least the blue and red ones). That said they do look like little gremlins because they put their eyes in the wrong hole lol. I still like them though (mainly for the colors) and was glad they finally got added to JWE2 with the last DLC. The last one made was the 2018 Mattel one to my knowledge.

Oh, I hadn't seen the movie ones! That's a shame about the eye placement.

Probably. I seem to recall a kid I knew having a flocked Panthor that was worn pretty thin. But maybe that doesn't happen if you just display it rather than play with it.

It's a real shame as I've wanted this species in the films since they were mentioned in the novel.

That and Cearadactylus. There was a rumor about the latter in Mattel's line but I'll believe it when I see it.
