Those pics..ugh. Just make me annoyed. I saw some off brand dinosaur toys tonight walmart is carrying..they look better than most of these...and they are cheaper.

There's always the...uh... originals *wink wink*

The Jurassic World stuff is now in the store I work in. It's just as bad in person. Interestingly, the various Velociraptors don't seem to be poseable. It all looks comparable to the cheap knockoffs we also sell.

Blade-of-the-Moon · April 25, 2015, 03:51:15 AM

Yeah they are very limited on poseability..not unlike some of the past JP Velociraptors though..it's their sculpting, paint, and overall dollar store-ish-ness that puts me off.

Is there at least one decent, usable figure from the new JW line?

I'd consider the few I plan to get the best if I may be so bold.

That would be the Ankylosaurus ( good paint, good sculpt) Stegoceratops ( fits in with the whole "theme" of the film), Blue/Velociraptor ( she's the larger electronic one and a main character in the film), Both I-Rex's.

That's about it for wave one.

The Ankylosaurus looks nice, and I'm tempted by the less expensive Indominus Rex one cause it looks kinda cool? I'm also down for the lego sets. But I'm happy to leave the majority of Jurassic World merch on the shelf.

Exactly. I'll wait and check them out in person on the shelf, but I doubt my mind will change.

I might get the gyrosphere set - I'm warming up to I-rex:)

mini-figure lovers rejoice :

Plushie horror....

stargatedalek · April 26, 2015, 06:55:31 PM

I hope we get to see some unbaged versions soon, to be honest I rather hate the grab bag concept myself...

CityRaptor · April 26, 2015, 07:13:40 PM

Depending on look and availabilty the minis might be my JW Dinosaurs to go. I expect all 4 Raptors to be the same mold since it sounds like something Hasbro would do. So getting all 4 of them might be the hardest task.

The plushies are ugh, although I guess Blue is to be taken literally in that case...

Thus, interest update:
Hasbro Main Line - No
Hasbro Minis - Maybe
Hero Mashers - No
Plushies - No
Jada - No
Lego - No
Kaiyodo ( inofficial ) - Yes

I totally agree.

The Anky looks nice, the Spino is very JP3. If anyone buys them and gets doubles or triples I'm sure they will find a market here on the forum.

How are the Kaiyodo pieces unofficial? There is an I-Rex right?

CityRaptor · April 27, 2015, 08:30:19 AM

No I-Rex in the Kaiyodo Set.

Interest update:
Hasbro Main Line - No
Hasbro Minis - Yes
Hero Mashers - No
Plushies - No
Jada - No
Lego - No
Kaiyodo ( unofficial ) - Yes

As flawed as most of them are, I'm actually really excited for the release of these toys. It's the first time I'll be able to buy and own Jurassic Park toys new and keep them boxed. Yeah I'll definitely agree they don't compare to original Jurassic Park toys, but I'm just happy I'm finally able to join in the action of Jurassic Park, since I was born in 1996 and wasn't able to have the first toys.

stargatedalek · April 27, 2015, 11:43:26 PM

Good news, the blind bags are available in a giant bag of 15 which to my current knowledge seems to include one of each.

Derek.McManus · April 27, 2015, 11:53:34 PM

My son will love the blind bag figures!

Takama · April 28, 2015, 12:00:44 AM

I was at my ocal Shopko and I Saw these action figures for the first time.

I am surprised at how lousy the toys are I tried the gimmicks on them and they barely worked. The only one i had any interest in was the Indominous Rex with Gyrosphere, as the sculpt seemed pretty decent, and the Gimmick worked fine.

DR Admin, Is an Indominous Rex Figure allowed for review on the Blog?
