The Indoraptor toys, while fun sculpts, have such off-putting teeth. I sound like a broken record but I would love to see a high end sculpt or maquette.
Prime 1 is doing a high end statue for the Indoraptor and released a teaser image of the digital sculpt. Can find it on their instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BkP3D93BrM7/

UPDATE:

My allosaurus is now standing. I propped his right foot up on an action figure (the GI Joe that came with the 2013 allo.) I also realized that that GI Joe is the spitting image of Hoskins from Jurassic World (though, more muscled and less fat.)

Also like 20 years or so younger, which would explain something. Heh, he is even packed as if he is about to pet the Allosaurus.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Isn't Spinosaurus expected soon? Like. any day soon?

Blade-of-the-Moon

Maybe next week?  Certainly we think by the end of the month.

I think Smyths is any time before or at the end of this month, and Target is the 30th?

Still more screen accurate than the Nedry figure.

One model of Spinosaurus was sold in a pawn shop in Southern California. Here's a review:

Flaffy

Not impressed with the oversized head and midget tail.
Not a fan of Sucho's short tail either  :(

Mattel could've easily fit a more lengthy and thick tail for the Spino in that type of packaging, as with the allosaurus, but I guess they don't understand how proper proportion works  ::)

At first it seems like the T.rex is taller, but then I realized that the Spinosaurus had it´s body positioned a bit lower. One just have to move it a little bit upright and voilà Spinosaurus is as tall or slightly taller. In fact, Spinosaurus looks taller at the hips.

Also it seems that the eyes are yelowish green? I wish we had an image video that could give us the final answer, because light makes those eyes look different en every picture/video I see.

Also, why the video had to be in vertical...

Loon

I'm honestly quite excited for the figure, but one thing I can't get behind is the eye. The pupils just seem too pronounced, I guess its just hard to see them in the movie, so I'm used to thinking it has no pupils.

I think it is going to be a fun figure, just like the T-rex. The video gives the impression that it would scale better with EC T-rex. Now, I feel obligated to buying all the spinosaurids (I have the Baryonyx) - at least the Suchomimus looks much better in person, a bit dragonish but still a cool looking toy with a fantastic head sculpt.

I've seen the Spinosaurus eyes look green in some pics on the facebook that those Destructasaur reviews were posted. While I hope that is the case, I won't be too upset at this point if they are yellow. I really hope these and the other legacy figures are released soon. I really want to get my hands on them. Honestly though as much as I'm excited for the Spinosaurus, I'm also really excited for the Dilophosaurus, even if the sculpt (and color scheme) is pretty similar to the attack pack one in the legacy figure pack.

Also I might be ordering the Destructasaur Dimetrodon set this coming week. I know it has its issues (3 toes instead of 5 for each foot), but I honestly don't have any Dimetrodon in my collection, and there honestly hasn't been a Jurassic toy of one in years now (at least since the Kenner camo colored repaint one I think, which I had as a kid). Plus it would be a way to get one of those critter sculpts (assuming it is the Microceratus if seen in the pics).

So you choose the worst Dimetrodon released in recent memory 8)

Lol, I wouldn't call it the worst Dimetrodon out there  ;)
It might be a pretty good figure...I suppose we'll see when someone actually gets it.

Probably not the worst, but certainly a contender. Especially with great figures recently released by Papo, Favorite, Safari, and CollectA. Even the Recur Dimetrodon is acceptable.

Yeah I know there's plenty of decent Dimetrodon's out there, and I do plan to get them eventually (such as Papo's, Safari Ltd's, maybe even some others like CollectA's even though I'm not the biggest fan of the color scheme, it's still a great sculpt). Still this one is made to fit in with the other Mattel JW figures, which is really why I'd go for it (well that and it could be possible it might be hard to get later on, and it's cheap now. Also the Microceratus is a pretty decent sculpt too, assuming it actually comes with it).

Don't forget the Schleich version. It's actually pretty decent even if it is a Papo hack.

Anyone know when wave 2 of the legacy collection releases in the US?
