Halichoeres

Stopped by Toys "R" Us to see what they had, since I'm curious about the Microceratus. No luck, but I found these:



So close, and yet so far. Still, since Fisher-Price is a subsidiary of Mattel, I guess these belong here?

I don't know if these belong here, BUT...
TAKARA TOMY Release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom figures!

Seems like a derivation of their already existing ANIA series.
The sculpts look beautiful to be honest, and I LOVE that Mosasaur.

WHERE DO I GET THESE!?!?!

Halichoeres

The Ania figures seem to be slated for a June release. I would bet that they will show up on Amazon in time, but several Japanese mail order sites will probably also have them, like HobbyLink Japan and 1999.co.jp. They're cheap, around 10 bucks, so don't pay too much more than that if you see them on eBay. The Carnotaurus and Mosasaurus look like repaints of their existing figures. They also seem to be releasing a JW inspired repaint of their Pteranodon:

pretty sure they tweaked the mosasaurus to actually look like the one we see in the movies.
Their old one had a much less detailed sculpt with spikes on it's head.

ITdactyl

hey @Kaprosuchus... haven't checked TRU... been to 2 TKs today, no JW dinos - but didn't ask the staff when they'll have stocks available.

*edit*I think @Magicgluelong already spotted some.  So the hunt continues....

Oh, good eye. So it looks like just the Carnotaurus and Pteranodon are repaints. The Blue and T rex are definitely new sculpts as well.

Picked up Thrash and Throw T-rex from US amazon.com. I couldn't resist (although, I probably should have waited for the Chomper as it is said to be more stable, less expensive, have more articulation and less seam lines).

Considering Mattel's knack for Deluxe models (e.g. Colossal T-rex, Mosa etc.), any chance of seeing a Sauropod in future waves?

I would LOVE this

When you know the toys are out there but you can't go to the stores because you are busy with other stuff and the only think you can do is watch other people hauls that are absolutely huge.....

Seriously guys. HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO BUY SO MANY AT THE START?

I don think we will see sauropods in this line in particular(Source: the app) but I can see them appearing in future lines. Maybe in a in-between movies line or for the next movie. Or maybe they will surprise us with some last minute releases that were not planned and not listed in the app.

I never picked up any of the old JP dinos for the exception of the blue and grey deluxe Pteranodon because the sculpts didn't appeal to me at the time, and the larger dinos were squishy.  However, Mattel really hit it out of the park and I love pretty much every one of the dinos.  I can't wait to see the legacy stuff hit our stores here.

Personally I had a game plan.  I saved since last year for it, kept track of who had everything and what and when by search sites.  Then I aside this week as Jurassic Week to hunt down everything starting Monday at 6am.   Having no life outside dinosaurs really helps lol

Universal actually told them no sauropod from what was passed on at Toy Fair from Mattel reps.  I think they thought no one would buy them, hopefully given this success we'll see one next year.

Reptilia

Is the legacy line a US exclusive, or are there any plans to release it worldwide? So far the extreme chompin' T-Rex and Spinosaurus are the most appealing to me, together with the rubbery Mosasaurus of course.


dinoMD

For sauropods, alternatively, they could consider a gofundme type approach similar to hasbro's recent venture in haslab with jabbas barge.  That way, they could roughly ensure to produce only what has already been purchased by consumers.  I would jump at the chance to get a reasonably large Jurassic park/world apatosaurus or brachiosaurus (apart from papos which I love).

I've seen some of the Legacy figures here in England

How large would you consider reasonably large?

Faelrin

I definitely want the Apatosaurus made (at least). I honestly wanted a toy of that made back when JW came out (especially since it was new to the films, and seemed to have a bigger role then the other herbivores in the film, aside from Ankylosaurus), and was disappointed there wasn't, and obviously still disappointed now. It would be great if it was another real feel skin one too (since wouldn't it be around the size of the Mosasaurus too?). At least there's the mini figure for now.

Edit: Brachiosaurus has a mini figure too! It's in a set of Legacy minis! https://www.target.com/p/jurassic-world-legacy-collection-mini-dinos-5pk-set-1/-/A-53221543

How about this large:

@MLMjp: if I were a JP/JW collector that seems like it would be about right.

I'm not planning to get many more of these (possibly not any more, depending on what else emerges), but I'm getting some vicarious pleasure out of how excited everyone else is. To me, one of the coolest touches is that the humans each have a unique Compsognathus, so that your attacking horde won't be boring and uniform. This is the sort of thing Hasbro never thought of, and honestly, even Kenner rarely did.

Anyone else excited that since Mattel owns the rights to Dino Riders, they can re-use, or resculpt some of the dinos for a new Dino Riders line?
