Mattel - New for 2025

[Prehistory Resurrection]

New Mattel 2025 figure reviews up on Andy's Dinosaur Reviews Channel.

New Hammond Collection figure reviews;

Still not understanding this species' inclusion in the HC line, but maybe this is a tribute to the Kenner version.

The Allosaurus is good but the proportions could be better. The head could be large and the the neck ciuld be shorter.

It's based on the JW render of the baby Triceratops and not the JP one. I just got the Papo one and this one is based on the JP version.

Teeth are much better too but I think I'll wait til the HC one comes out.

Can we please limit the number of videos? My phone's struggling to load the page with 20+ of them.

I honestly don't know why they need to be posted here anyway, we all know how to use YouTube and I'm sure a lot of us subscribe to these channels.

Noticed this issue too. I've removed the videos. Left just the ones about the new Hammond Collection figures. I guess you all know Andy and maybe subscribed to his channel by now.

@Prehistory Resurrection is only trying to be resourceful, and perhaps some might not be subscribed or even aware, so it can be helpful. But I do agree that it can cause difficulties in page loading. Usually putting the links in a spoiler helps, so I dont see a reason to remove them (tho if u already did, i guess it is ur choice)

Aparently a Brazil toy fair Mattel catalog has just confirmed Spinosaurus and Stegosaurus for the Hammond Collection:

Collect Jurassic is echoing this news so I believe we can be confident about this being true.

I'm actually surprised because this year is Jurassic World's 10th anniversary, and next year is JP3 25th anniversary, so it would make more sense to release the Indominus before the Spino...but I'm not complaining

[Pliosaurking]

Spinosaurus!!!

[Faelrin]

Gonna need some pics before getting too hype. Like to see how the sculpts look. Hopefully the long awaited TLW and JPIII ones.

[Dilopho]

The Stegosaurus is the hammond collection entry I've been waiting for from the start. Fingers crossed that it looks great-
I'm also hoping for the tail to be plastic like that of the Ankylosaurus.

[Gwangi]

I just hope the Stegosaurus is a Lost World Stego and not a Jurassic World one.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Yeah need to know what versions they are. After the JW Trike it would make sense to be a JW Stego. Spinosaurus is in the new movie with lots of toys coming for it so why not add it to the HC line too? 

I also saw Titanosaurus is planned for the mainline. Which is cool except I'm not a huge fan of the designs I've seen for it.

From what I've heard, the leaked titanosaurus design isn't backed up by any good sources and the photos online should be taken with a big grain of salt

[Noideaforaname]

Stego and Spino are my top wants for the line, so this'll be exciting if it's true.


Incidentally, my Target preorders for Ghost and the Baby Trike arrived. The Ross sightings had me a bit worried.



I really don't want to buy replacement figures... but I kinda want a larger adult Triceratops and better JP/// Velociraptors now.

I'd be fine if it was essentially the 2005 Kong sauropod. It was serviceable.  I just hope it doesn't have those weird sails on it. It should just be a big bruiser like the Dreadnoghtus.  According to the catalog it will be another huge one at 50"+

I've thought the same. They have improved so much the main line figures now look better than the early HC figures. I sold the Baryonyx, I have the HC Trike and Para, as well as the Ceratosaurus still in box I could part with. Maybe they would do better versions later?
