Jurassic World (Hasbro) - new for 2015

[Shadowknight1]

It's a sad day when you see Tyrannosaurus rex as a peg warmer.

I will say that after seeing in hand pictures and videos, my harsh opinion of the Allosaurus model has lessened.  I still think the crests are done rather poorly, as are the arms, but it seems to be a fairly decent toy.  Obviously inferior to the prior TLW and JP Al's, but not quite as bad.  Kinda wish it had a different paint scheme though.  The blues and oranges of the JP one look natural compared to the super bright yellows of the JW one.

However, seeing the Pteranodon on the shelf today did nothing to change my opinion on that one.  That pterosaur is beyond ugly and straight into hideous.

Wow! Those are seriouly cheap! All the standard figures sell for roughly 17 Euros here in Finland - and that's like 18.7$. I paid roughly 31 Euros + shipping for the I.rex vs. Gyro Sphere set...and I thought it as reasonable compared to the 54 Euros at Toys Are Us! Now I feel robbed!

The JW toys have hit Goodwill:

Seriously, though, this one was across the street from a Target and was the only JW merch there.

[EmperorDinobot]

Hah! They're already hitting Goodwill stores! That was faster than I expected!



$7.88 for the small ones isn't bad... but $6 would have been better. I'll pay full price for a Pacho though.

Thats the most Godawfal Mosasaurus i ever seen.   Might make for an interesting Review on the Blog

That raptor girl in dress looks fabulous. The latest trend in summer fashion for raptor girls.

Aw, it's not that bad. I like it for what it is in its cartoony, Ice Age-esque style.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

It's a gator/tadpole.

[Appalachiosaurus]

Give it a break. it is supposed to be cartoony. At Least it doesn't have screw holes!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Oh I get it..it's Poseidon-Rex!

[Arul]

Oh my god, i hope that creature is plankton eater Blade..

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Not sure there is much chance of that...lol

Has anyone taken a look at the brawlasaurs? I know they look like crap but they do work in the mobile jurassic world app and that may just make me purchase some.

Makes sense when you see the original JP Jr Rex.. lol

Why does that man have such gigantic hands and feet?  how on earth does he put pants on?

But on to the dinosaurs.  Why does T-rex have such gigantic feet?  Is that what kids really want?  I grew up with the old Playskool dinosaurs and they were brightly colored but had pretty reasonable proportions.  And I loved them for it.  This looks like a Bratz doll T-rex.  Where's her purse?

I think they're inspired by the chibi/super deformed anime style. It looks pretty cute and non-threatening for young children I guess. But yeah, it does look a bit ridiculous. I think that guy would end up tripping over his own feet.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I think you have a point TQ, also there is stability again, small kids aren't very careful with placing their toys just so..larger feet help that.  A bigger head allows it to bite larger things too... just look at the JW Rex toys..I think they just made a more realistic version of the old JP JR one...lol

[tyrantqueen]

Maybe that's where David Krentz got his inspiration for his chubbie line

Btw the Jurassic Juniors Stego is so cute. I like his stubby tail and huge plates.



...and he also seems to be an albino

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

reminds me of mohawk hairdo..or  a Porcupine bristling it's spines..lol

[joossa]

Heh, heh, dear me...

[Dinomike]

I agree with Tyrantqueen: That Stego is pretty cute!

[EmperorDinobot]

I'm missing the ATV dude from that set...


If anyone has it, LMK.



Aaaanyways, for the pros in this line: Dilophosaurus and Ceratosaurus don't have pronated hands anymore.
