Mattel, Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom toys - new for 2018

Wouldn't Chinasaur levels mean that it's great now?
Given the products that PNSO and Vitae spit out recently.
I think we really should stop associating Chinasaur with shoddy quality.
Our Chinese friends wouldn't appreciate that link.

I personally don't mind. Respectable Chinese, Taiwanese and Hong Kong companies will be referred to their respective names, while cheap toxic dollar store knockoffs can be called chinasaurs for all I care, even I call them that myself.
I don't associate the term "chinasaurs" to all dinosaur model products that come from China.

Gotta get me one of those Stygimoloch minis. That was my favorite dinosaur as a kid, and I still have a soft spot for it, taxonomic controversies notwithstanding.

The way I see it, you either get a different species or an ontogenetic stage of Pachycephalosaurus. I know some people on this forum seem to consider young dinosaurs a waste of figures, but I see it as a good opportunity to create family units for dioramas. And let's face it, we don't get many figures of young dinosaurs that aren't babies. So if you want it, go for it, no matter if it is its own species or a juvenile!

Oh don't worry, I'm going to go for it

Holy hell, on Ebay already?

[mgaguilar]

Scalpers running rampant.

[IrritatorRaji]

God, those prices are obsured

Over $100 for 4 Roarivores? Aren't they, like, $15 each?

is that why the Battat pachycephalo kinda looks like a stgyimoloch to me?

[Faelrin]

Yep I was afraid this would happen. I really hate scalpers and their artificial inflation. They also make searching for things in stores a pain since they have a tendency to buy everything up just to continue this toxic practice that people foolishly buy into, which usually leaves shelves empty for both collectors and kids in this case. I really hope stores have learned and start cracking down on this kind of stuff. April 16th couldn't come soon enough, and I'm afraid by the time it does, things are already going to be out of stock. Hopefully though they have a large enough supply for things to last some time.

I hate to be THAT person but my question wasn't answered. How much will the standard Indoraptor cost me?

The non electronic Indoraptor is only $19.99 and it is actually up on Mattel's site now with a bunch of other things. https://shop.mattel.com/shop/en-us/ms/jurassic-world-toys/jurassic-world-villain-dino-figure-fvw27

Illuminati confirmed?

W0ah what in the world happened to Chris Pratt? 
His face looks waaay off

I just call them "derpasaurs."

Two pack Attack-Pack dino repaints
Now we know where that Blue dilo came from.
Also the Jurassic World Facts app is released, it's basically a fancy digital catalogue for the entire line of figures so far. New additions like Monolophosaurus and Dimetrodon are confirmed, and many other model repaints and sculpts/paint jobs from sub-lines as well

I wouldn't be too concerned. This happens all the time with Transformers and Lego, and unless something is a store exclusive, your chances of finding it on your own remain good.

So it would seem like the Jurassic Facts app has launched via IOS this week and seems to have the entire catalogue of the upcoming figures. It even shows off an unshown juvenile Tyrannosaurus straight out of The Lost World which I'm extremely excited for. The only thing I find kind of off is most if not all of the "fun facts" are false or made up. For example apparently, film cannon Velociraptor infants are supposed to be 3-5 feet tall...

The app just seems to have a problem with mixing up "tall" and "long"

Other than that, most of the facts are actually based on real life information and not the movie monsters:

That last Velociraptor screenshot  on accuracy of the raptors is fantastic.

Glad they are at least attempting at making people aware of the true appearance of these dinos.
