Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom by Mattel - new for 2019

[Gwangi]

This Allosaurus is a big improvement over the last one, which I was very disappointed in. But it's also so similar to the superior Albertosaurus that I'll probably still pass on it. The Nasutoceratops on the other hand, I might have to pick that one up.

[ItsTwentyBelow]

Oh wow, the Allosaurus and Nasutoceratops look excellent!

The Allosaurus from last year was so unappealing, such an awful sculpt that I did not even consider it. This one actually kind of looks like the animal. I like it! The head reminds of the Papo Allo.

Nasutoceratops is a must-have. Love that sculpt and those colors. Love seeing obscure genera getting the Jurassic Park treatment.

[Killekor]

I really like that Nasutoceratops! Both the sculpt and the color scheme look really really great!
But I don't like the Allosaurus with this color scheme. If I'll get it I'll repaint it of the same color scheme than the Roarivores one.

EDIT: what model is the one that appears in the bottom left angle of the first photo? Thanks in advance for any answer!

@Killekor The green one is Baryonyx, and the red one in front is the red hump on the white Concavenator

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

 they should have switched the heads on this Allosaurus and the Albertosaurus, this Allo looks more tyrannosaur like than the tyrannosaur.

Concavenator repaint.

That was quick, went to get a present for my mom and found 2 sets at 2 Walmarts, California.



For some reason the Allosaurus' tail was loose in the box. I think it may just be a loose connection to the rest of the body. But, I'm not sure.

Update: This isn't my picture, but...

[Faelrin]

Definitely not the first time something from the Dino Rivals line that has been copied off another dinosaur toy, but might be the first time one of the cards are? Although I saw a while back that the cards where done by another company for Mattel, but regardless that's nearly a completely shameless copy of that Mojo Allosaurus image (with the only obvious differences being that it is intended to resemble the Mattel toy). Big yikes on that Allosaurus' tail, but that isn't the first time I've seen a casualty from poor QC or poor handling from kids, damage from shipping, etc (such as the many broken Thrash and Throws, Grab and Growl Indoraptor with too tight arm joints that snap off easily, etc).

Knowing my luck I won't see these until next month, or so, but honestly I can wait until then. At least I was able to pick up two of the new roarivores when I did (even if they are just repaints). Still would like to find the new attack packs before then, but I would gladly take these if I spot them at the same time or first. I also saw that these figures had scan codes, even though they aren't in the app yet. Wonder when we'll get that next update for them to be added to the app.


I also found this review of the Quetzalcoatlus earlier today, which also nicely had comparisons between it and the previous pterosaur figures. I have to wonder if this is intended to be Q. sp instead of Q. northropi (though the anatomy seems based on Q. sp, I think), because of it being on the smaller side (though I'm pretty sure the dual attack and roarivore Pteranodon figures are also over sized, considering it is nearly half the length of the Mosasaurus toy, while the Battle Damage and Legacy, etc figures seem to be a bit closer to being correctly sized, in regards to the wingspan of the real animal, not the JP animal, which could very well be over sized. I know the size chart in JPIII listed its wingspan as over 30ft at least, which is oversized in comparison to the real animal. I'm not entirely sure what size the JW ones went with though in the film, versus the viral marketing material which seems to be based off of the real life size(s) of the animal).

Edit: I'm also using the size information from Wikipedia. Pteranodon seems to be anywhere from 12 ft/3.8 m (if adult female sex) to 18 to 20 ft/5.6 to 6.25 m (if adult male sex). Whereas Quetzalcoatlus sp seems to have a wingspan of around 36-39 ft/11-12 m, with Q. nothropi having a wingspan around 52 ft. Also the Rhamphorhynchus and Dimorphodon figures are oversized some, probably for playability (but the Dimorphodon more so, although I think that was the case for the JW film creature too).

@Faelrin it's weird, cause the tail was still there, and these looked liked they had been just put out and never touched otherwise. I honestly think it's just connected poorly.

Also, the Nasutoceratops card is also copied from some JW Stegoceratops art. Which, isn't great, but at least it's JW.

Thank you both for the answer! I didn't know the existence of a repainted Concavenator. It looks a lot better than the original one, but it's still ugly.

@Loon did you found also the Nasutoceratops? And if the answer is yes, could you post photos of it? Thanks in advance!

Killekor

[Faelrin]

@Loon Yeah I just noticed that now on instagram. Definitely weird but okay in that instance I guess.

[Loon]

@Killekor Here are some photos of both on Instagram. They're not my pics; but, they're better than anything I could take.

[Dilopho]

Uh am I missing something or does the nasuto not have any eyes

[Loon]

It does; but, their black paint against the dark body colors makes them hard to see.

I can't see them at all 
I don't like the unpainted beak either...

I think Mattel got incredibly annoyed with direct comparisons to Hasbro's Allosaurus that they were compelled to make one that can hold its own.

The Nasutoceratops is great. It is probably their best ceratopsian to date.

Thank you for the link! I really like that figure!

I can see the eyes, but from the photos they look as closed eyes, almost like it's sleeping. Interesting idea!

Killekor

I doubt they're sleeping eyes. I think it'd be pretty dumb to do that on a figure in such a dramatic pose.

A sleeping dinosaur model would be amazing (they should totally make one based on the All Yesterdays illustration of Stan) but an action figure of a sleeping dinosaur? That's just dumb. lol.

[MLMjp]

A little bit late to the party here, but better late than never.

I like the retool of the Allosaurus, the sculpt is an improvement over the old one. However I prefer the colors of the old one since they are more movie accurate. If I see it in person, I might pick it up, if not, then I won't bother to chase it.
Something I just thought, could this allosaurus represent the "adult" form since the ones in FK were juveniles, I said that because the blue and cream yellow combination reminds me of the Allosaurus from Jurassic World Evolution, which is how an adult JWFK Allosaurus would look:

The colors are more vibrant in the toy of course, but its similar. And yes, I know that both of them are obviously inspired by the Papo Allosaurus, but still.

The Nasutoceratops looks great. BUT it clearly looks bigger than the Triceratops when he should be more or less the size of the Styracosaurs ....First the Sinoceratops Pachyrhinosaurus and now this, Triceratops should be the biggest ceratopsian yet they give the bigger molds to it´s cousins. We need an Action attack/Mega dual attack sized Triceratops. Or a retool of this Nasutoceratops into a Triceratops.

[Dilopho]

Well, I think we've had quite enough Triceratopses, lol.
We can always just say it's a new species of Nasutoceratops.
I mean, the Brachiosaurus in JP is bigger than real ones, and the Dilophosaurus venifer is not too much smaller but still smaller than the real species.
(If we assume that the hologram in JW, which I think is a wee bit bigger than Delta, is the adult size of D. venifer. The OTHER JP Dilophosaurus is also raptor-sized, as seen in the Lockwood collection room.)



Speaking of dilos, did the basic dino value one ever see release?

And how cool would it be to get a clear plastic or light blue colour scheme of a Dilophosaurus to mimic this hologram one? 

[Loon]

@MLMjp I'm desperately wanting a larger triceratops figure. The current one juts seems too tiny. @Dilopho We can just call it Eotriceratops, since you don't want anymore triceratops.
