Jurassic Park V Toys Teased

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

The news is a great way to kick off Jurassic June. I'm glad they're doing a classic line, and to be released this year, too!

I personally don't collect JP, but I'm following some YouTubers that will be very happy with this news : D

[CityRaptor]

That sounds good in theory. Of course we have to see the actual quality.

Just don't expect anything overly scientifically accurate.

[Loon]

As a Jurassic Park(not world) collector, I gotta admit I was worried to hear about mattel picking up the license; but, these do sound more interesting than I had expected. Hopefully the quality's up to snuff.

I really really really like what I have just read.

The figures will be in scale again, no more permanente wounds, and some of them will have rubber skin. Plus they said that there will be more than just T.rexes in the "large dinosaurs" assortment....maybe we will finally get some sauropods?
Due to their size and price I´m not the biggest colector of JPs (although I wish I be) but still, I want JP toys to be quality toys. And it seems like we will finally see the return of real JP toys!

Only thing that worries me is the phrase at the end that says that the proportions of some dinos are a bit exaggerated and also we do not know how the quality of the rubber and plastic will be.

But still, it is good to hear new like this. Besides, things can not get worst that the JW line.

They said that was only for the basic line which is for the kids anyway. I'm pretty sure the big girls are safe.

This is encouraging news, but I'll wait until I see official images before celebrating. Or mourning.

[Jetoar]

I have to say that Mattel have done a great work with avatar toys and we have to remember disney dinosaur  . Toys was made by mattel.

[Faelrin]

Sounds good, but until there's a species list (though I'm sure Velociraptor and T. rex are a given), and some images of the figures, my thoughts are neutral for now. I honestly hope there won't be any with unpainted claws. Don't get cheap on me Mattel. The lack of exposed flesh wounds sounds promising however. Hoping that will stick through for the final products.

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

Don't get cheap on me Mattel.

That was Hasbro's mistake.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

If I didn't know better i would say it was April 1st... this is an unbelievable dream list in my head coming true.   The figure of Malcolm described sounds like the Re-Action figures ..which i'm totally fine with.   I have my fingers crossed I will finally have a John Hammond figure!

[AcroSauroTaurus]

When I read this yesterday, it literally was the best news I've heard this year. I knew Mattel(being a rival company of Hasbro) would do their best to show-up Hasbro, and from what I read, it's sounding good! But the bad part is, I don't think I'll have enough money(or space) for it all...

[ItsTwentyBelow]

This is good news. This series is reverting back to similar price points and the same product types that made the original JP and TLW action figure series so successful! Including vehicles, which on their own aren't that exciting, but they sound like they'll be JP/JW vehicles like we haven't seen since before JPIII was released, which is altogether a great sign for this new line.

However, I must reserve judgement in the end, because of that sentence mentioning how some of the figures look a bit oddly proportioned or cartoony. That has me worried. We all hope that product designs will be revamped when we hear or see things we don't like, especially when there is plenty of time until release, but a lot of times that isn't the case. It would be cruel if they use this tried and true JP toy format, but still give us figures that look like crap.

They must do a good job of sculpting these dinosaurs. It was such a shock to see how awful pretty much every single Jurassic World toy was. Too much of a shock!

I hope you're listening, Mattel! Don't squander this opportunity!

[Appalachiosaurus]

I'm honestly more excited for the people, there are no good cheap action figures of the original characters and I want a toy Donald Gennaro to get eaten by my Bull T. rex.

Honestly, if worse comes worse and the toys turn out to be bad or disappointing, I won't lose any sleep over it. It'll just mean some money saved. And if the toys do turn out to be on par with Kenner's, I still probably won't be buying many of them. I have enough T. rexes and raptors from the first two JP lines. Although if Mattel made say, a really good Triceratops or Parasaurolophus, I'd snap them up.

[Shadowknight1]

I'd be optimistic for this line...but then I remember these monstrosities.



Don't expect your Ian Malcolm to look like Ian Malcolm.  You'll be lucky if your T-rex looks like a T-rex.

[stargatedalek]

The articulation and general detail on those actually looks fine to me, faces seem odd, but oh well.

[Loon]

I've bought a few of the recent Wonder Woman figures from Mattel (great movie btw), and they've improved immensely. However, I would compare these JP human figures to their 3.75 inch stuff; and, likeness-wise, that could be hit...



...or miss

[suspsy]

The human figures have always been irrelevant to me. On the rare occasions when I ended up with a human figure because it was included in a set with a dinosaur I wanted, I gave it away.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

likeness depends on whether they have approval from the actor, I recall the fellow who played Nedry didn't give his approval?

Also recall Kenner's figures weren't all that close either, ditto for Hasbro.
