Jurassic World (Hasbro) - new for 2015

[stargatedalek]

These look like they will be nice candidates for re-paints if you ask me.

I'm really liking the I-rex at this point, very pleased with the colour changing.

Despite the lack of quality, I will get the allosauroid figure (Metriacanthosaurus?).

It's meant to be Allosaurus, but I don't see how.

I have this feeling that the rumored Papo Giganotosaurus will be based off of the I-rex.

They might base it on color and spikiness, but surely not even Papo could mistake I-rex for a Giganotosaurus.  And why is this a rumored figure anyway?  They've released their 2015s, we won't hear about it for another year.

As a purely fictional monster, the I-Rex is under trademark. If Papo were to base a toy on it, the first people in line to buy one would be Universal's lawyers.

True, though wheren't the original dinosaurs in JP also. Papo still used those designs for many of their Dino's. Obviously just pure speculation on my part, just, seeing as how Papo designs were influenced by JP and are more "awesome-bro" in many of their Dino's then scientifically accurate. I can see them basing their Giga on the new I-Rex as it has slight passing resemblance to the Giga. Just a feeling is all.

As I see it every Jurassic Park dinosaur has at least some degree of fictional monster to it, hasn't stopped Papo before.

I-Rex vs. Gyrosphere set now available in (Dutch) stores. So is the Pteranodon, I've heard, but I haven't yet found it.



The I-Rex is decently sized, about the same size as a TLW Allosaurus. The quality of the plastic isn't particularly high. The paint job is kinda bland, but at least all the claws are painted. There's red dots along the mouth, which was also present on the photos we've seen so far, so it's not a paint error. Both arms and legs are poseable. The action is provided by pulling the tail down, which causes a snap-jaw attack move. The lowe jaw hangs loose, so is a separate component that can also be posed apart from the attack feature. The dino damage wound can indeed be coverd up by 'closing a window', so to speak. It works pretty well, though when closed it has an awkward bit of plastic seemingly randomly sticking out of its flank. But it's a definite improvement over no coverable dino damage at all.

As for the Gyrosphere, it looks nice, and can hold two figures. Only one of them is included, and it is by far the worst human JP figure I have ever seen. It has a sloppy, dull paint job and looks like some sort of cheap Chinese trashy military figure. It looks way too ugly for the Gyrosphere, which has a disc firing action I can't review as I'm not yet ready to open the package. Though I am considering doing one of those popular unboxing videos, which are supposedly all the rage.

At 30 euros, this set is considerably more expensive than the alleged US price of 22 dollars. But hey, I got a scoop and an I-Rex, so I'm happy.

[Shadowknight1]

Considering I want an I-Rex but don't want the big huge sucker with rubber skin, that may be the one I end up getting, though I'll likely toss the human and the improbability-sphere.

Its just me, or Jurrasic Collectables really dont like the JW trex figure by hasbro. The review is out already on youtube

Yeesh. An ugly wound on one side and a bunch of screw holes on the other. Outstanding. 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I'm, not a fan myself of any of the Hasbro JW Rexes..they took the most popular iconic dinosaur, from a popular iconic movie that has been done to death by every toy company out there some better than others, and still messed it up.  It doesn't even look like a JP Rex to me.

[reinier zwanink]

There are some JW toys here in store
Not a single one looks tempting
It really is a shame
I cant wait to see the film thou

[CityRaptor]

Well, postioning that figure with its good side to the viewer is not possible since it has no good side. Eh well, that just confirms again that I won't buy these.

[Arul]

Still waiting for the mosasaurus 

[Shadowknight1]

So far only the I-rex with gyrosphere is even slightly tempting.  The rexes are ugly, the raptors are laughable, and the Allosaurus...UGH!?!

[Fukuiraptor]

The screw holes are terrific! 

[Dinomike]

That T.rex might be one of the worst T.rexes  I've ever seen! Hasbro really underestimates the consumers!

When i was senior high school my teacher told me how to read a + (plus) properly in a number based on Indonesian Dictionary. For example just like on jw toy box (for age 4+). It means this toy is  suitable for 4 years old or 1-3 years older (4-7) years old. Maybe hasbro targeting 4-7 years kid, rule number one for kids toy is "unbreakable" im sure thats the reason for the screw lol. But i hope the mosasaurus is so much better then this
