The only two Ferocious Packs worth getting from this wave are the Ceoptera and Minqaria IMO. The other two look horrendous.

i'm tempted to get the Rumble n Rage Distortus Rex.  I'm not really into monster figures at all but this thing is appealing to me.  Dunno why.  Sort of a cross between a Rancor and a Beluga Whale (what is up with all the beluga heads in Rebirth?).

Anyway, somebody talk me out of getting it....

I wonder if you could frankenstein on one of the older Gallimimus head and legs to make the Archaeornithomimus look at least a little like an ornithomimosaur.

If anyone's wondering, reviews of the monsters in this line will belong on the Monster Toy Blog, not the Dinosaur Toy Blog. Which reminds me, I still need to migrate the Indominus and Indoraptor toy reviews there.

I saw a bunch of the Beipiaosaurs newly stocked at my local Walmart and, honestly, they look pretty unpleasant. A shame, really; I've always had a soft spot for the genus, but Mattel and Universal clearly have different ideas than me about what makes therizinosaurs so interesting-looking.

I'm starting to wonder if we should be concerned about wave 2 already hitting the shelves. I hope this doesn't mean they're phasing out wave 1 already!

I've already seen Ceoptera in TRU!

@Gwangi Yeah I still have yet to go hunting for the Wave 1 figures (Iani, Edmontonia, Inostrancevia, etc). Was hoping to do it next month. Then again my stores are typically behind compared to most other locations, so maybe it will buy me more time. Definitely odd to see the Wave 2 ones hitting some places so soon. Wave 1 just released this month. Thought those would show up post August or something.

I've got a lot of what is on my wish list but I need to stagger out purchases so still haven't picked them all up. I'm also hoping for sales on some of the pricier ones that I don't want to pay full price for.

I've been prioritizing the more standard releases this time around despite some of the "hero" dinosaur figures being higher up on my want list. For one thing, I'm certain those key cast dinosaur figures will be around for much longer and will very likely even be on sale at some point but the same can never really be said for the more standard line figures. Plus, I've learned the hard way not to wait too long to pick up the smaller releases, and that feels especially true now that wave 2 is already popping up in some places.

Fantastic colour scheme. Entirely indifference on the species choice.
