Jurassic World (Hasbro) - new for 2015

[joossa]

Sheesh, that rex is a train wreck. 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

It's pretty bad overall. I mean slap it in generic packaging and it will sell on any dollar store shelf. 

I can't believe some of the guys at JPToys like this better than the Ultra Rex form JP3 ( not the small electronic one , it's equally bad in my opinion) .  I'm starting to think it's been so long between JP toys fans will buy anything. :/

Both of them are unppealing in my opinion. However unlike the JPIII figures I won't make the mistake of buying the JW ones in the first place.

Seriously? My gods, the JP3 Ultra T. Rex is a masterpiece compared to this ugly lump.

I can't believe the screwholes.  As much as I didn't want JP/// repaints before the JW toys came out, they are looking pretty good now.

So they're all going to have screw holes on one side. Lame. Profoundly lame.

I can see that sliding skin hatch breaking after too much play.

Would Triceratops dung really have looked like that though? That looks like something a mammal would excrete, not a reptile. Especially the, uh....sheer volume of it.

Same here with the Spinosaurus in JP3



Considering the close relationship of theropods to modern birds, I would have expected something resembling bird faeces.

[CityRaptor]

Probably.

You know, if Hasbro cared, they probably would have a representative coming into this thread.

Also looks like there will be Jurassic World diecast cars by a company named Jada...

Exactly..I can't figure what they are seeing.  The Ultra didn't have much playability, was hard to stand ( like many of the JP3 figures due to an off balance pose) but it actually looks like a JP Rex from the film. Not the offspring of a V-Rex and bored Asian recaster.

It's probably a general audience thing.. they wouldn't recognize it as excrement.  Though the Aviary was covered in what looked like bird droppings. Odd.

lol that's how a big company acts usually..their research and budget said do this so they did it.

Jada is going to have cool stuff it looks like..aside from the diecast we'll get some RC cars too.  And from all four films.

[CityRaptor]

Well, most people should be familiar with bird excrements.

Eeesh. Given what went down with REBOR not too long ago, I fear a Hasbro rep's presence here could be potentially disastrous.

At least REBOR was treated with some amount of respect.  I fear Hasbro would not.  For my part, I have very little respect for their JW line.  Star Wars is doing fine, at least in the Black Series line, though I am sad that I'll likely never see a 6" Mara Jade since she is excised from canon.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Yeah I wouldn't want to be a Hasbro rep on any fan forum right now that they have a license for.  I'm normally nice and polite, but my gut reactions to seeing my childhood getting ..well you know..on isn't a nice thing.

For example :

I think he's being kind. It looks as much like a JP Raptor as Schleichs...and as nice as that head sculpt is it and the arms are out of scale with the back of the figure..same deal with the Rex toy. It's like they took a larger figure and smaller one cut each in half and glued them together. I'm not sure what the reasoning behind that decision could have been.. :?

[Shadowknight1]

Good lord, it's arms are long enough that it could be a quadruped!  And really?  Charlie, Delta, and Echo don't have TOE CLAWS!?  What the heck Hasbro?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

A Hasbro rep said the film Raptors were modified at TF...however the newest teaser showed them with the sickle claws. I think it was just Hasbro cheaping out again.

[DinoToyForum]

For a franchise with such a rich of history of toys these are truly an embarrassment. I sort of feel sorry for the JP toy fan - only the most dedicated enthusiasts will salvage anything from this line. 

[suspsy]

Funny. Whereas other dinosaur toy lines like Carnegie (before they cashed in their chips), CollectA, and Wild Safari have steadily improved over the years, the JP franchise has gotten steadily worse. Much of that can be attributed to the demise of Kenner (by Hasbro!), but it's a strange and sad juxtaposition, isn't it?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Totally Hasbro's fault from what I've seen..it wouldn't take much more research to make accurate figures.  I mean if they have cg designs for the film, just send those to a 3D printer and make figures that look like the film counter parts.  You can still cast them, make them hollow, add electronics and play features..even if the paint was bad it could could be fixed..but a bad sculpt save for the head isn't worth getting.

I'm hoping someone, even a company in Europe or Japan will make something better for the film..be it model kits, ect..

Ugh. On top of the teeth and the terrible wings, the Pteranodon barely even has a neck. And the snapping jaws don't work properly. I feel this reviewer is also being too kind.
