Mattel--New for 2020

[Faelrin]

@stargatedalek That's a good point, and an interesting way to look at it, even if it doesn't entirely match it (though neither does it match with the Troodon from the telltale game perfectly either). I totally didn't even think of that one (which is funny because of them also releasing a Postosuchus and the WWD is one of the first ones I think of, the other being the Safari Ltd figure).

Even if I'm not the most interested in this one, I'm still getting it because at this point this line has become a bit like Pokemon for me. I gotta "catch" em all, and quite frankly I'm still impressed with all the related genera we've gotten, and right from the start at that, aside from some downright obscure ones, that seldom get toys made of them.

Hopefully just a bit longer before we get to see some more reveals (I really want to see how the Sauropelta and Postosuchus are done in particular, though I doubt they can beat the Safari Ltd takes on them for me. I just absolutely love the sculpting and color schemes on those figures). I'd certainly also like to know what all those remaining creatures in the Dino Rivals section of the app are. I made a post about it on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1q2jq2F6hx/ with the ones that have yet to be released (though some were probably intended for the repacks, but for some reason just weren't used, such as the Gallimimus, Indoraptor, and Tyrannosaurus, and possibly the orange Velociraptor as well).

Is it me, or do the feet on the Cryolophosaurus look pretty decently sized???
I guess in comparison to the Tarbosaurus, any foot size is better, ahaha.

[Syndicate Bias]

So is figure #2 Dual attack Allosaurus? I saw one on Amazon I have no clue what is and isn't new I lost track

[Flaffy]

Looks like Mattel finally hired someone with a good understanding of dinosaur anatomy.
Really liking these 2. Segisaurus and Callovosaurus.


Could this theropod be a Eustreptospondylus? Jurassic Outpost thinks it's an Ornitholestes, but it looks nothing like one.


The cryolophosaurus looks REALLY cartoony. Easy pass, looks like a cheap Chap Mei toy.

[Kotori_Sonoda]

Was this color scheme cooked up by whoever did that second Concavenator? I'm not really fond of it...

Will still be getting though. A new hadrosaur is always welcome in my shelf.

Very interested in that Callovosaurus! Despite being in the attack pack assortment it seems to have side to side tail articulation.

Here's everything new in one post, thanks to collectjurassic:

Attack Packs:


Savage Strike:



Battle Damage:


Sound Strike (Roarivores):





Massive Biters (Action Attack):

Edmontosaurus's colour scheme is waaaay more natural compared to the 2.0 concavenator's paint scheme.

I also appreciate that the "crest" is more akin to a flesh comb than a keratinised crest. Definitely going to try picking it up. Gotta show Mattel that "boring" hadrosaurs can sell as well.

I'm not very familiar with animals (aside from the popular ones) so the blue on the head feels a bit odd, and the Concavenator was the closest comparison I could make. But hey, maybe it'll look better when its in hand.

My childhood dinosaur books didn't make it clear Edmontosaurus had such a prominent crest... I really need to get with the times

I've gotta agree, the edmontosaurus looks pretty good.

Also, is it me, or does the cryolophosaurus have a very indoraptor looking head.

[Appalachiosaurus]

The Edmontosaurus is the definite stand out for me, also very excited to see what those new mystery dinosaurs are.

Actually it is more or less a "canon" color for it from the films.

It's a bit simplified.

Ah, well then. That makes the color scheme easier to swallow.
Didn't know Edmontosaurus showed up in the JP canon.

They couldn't have, it was discovered only a few years ago, and even then, some think it was just displaced skin from the neck or head.

But kudos for the toys being up to date with some things, though horribly out of date with others... Extremely inconsistent, which is what annoys me most about all JW stuff.

I've added some of the new images to the front page. I'll do more this afternoon sometime.

[PrimevalRaptor]

That Edmontosaurus is really neat, glad they went with the website scheme (even if not perfectly applied, it's a toy first and foremost after all).
Out of those I do hope the Postosuchus makes it to Germany, even with the outdated posture it looks like a really fun figure!

[ItsTwentyBelow]

Some cool stuff here, very cool!

Sold on some of those new Attack Packs like Callovosaurus, liking the Postosuchus, Edmontosaurus looks almost perfect (straight out of Jurassic World Evolution), Tarbosaurus looks better in that shot, and I really want to know more about the Sarcosuchus!

Whatever that green dino-damage theropod is though, it's a bit of a bust, and it had better not be an Ornitholestes at a size larger than an Attack Pack.

[Funk]

The "Ornitholestes" could pass as some sort of carcharodontosaur...

[Faelrin]

Honestly I like that the Postosuchus sculpt is pretty consistent with the mini figure's sculpt that was released in 2018. Apparently they are doing a repaint of that mini figure to match the new blue color scheme. While Doug's Sauropelta will probably always be my favorite figure of this, I'm still glad Mattel has choose to make one, and I think the red on it is perhaps a nice touch, as one of its relatives, Borealopelta had a bit of a reddish coloration.

I'm wondering if the green and black striped repaint of the SS Blue is intended to be Charlie? Not perfectly accurate if it is (mainly the stripes on the head that shouldn't be there), but better then the Attack Pack one for sure.

Still need to wait for images of these in packaging to have a better idea of them, but I'm already planning on getting all the new species. I am a bit disappointed in how cartoony and bright yellow that Cryolophosaurus is (especially as I was hoping for better since it is one of my favorite dinosaurs, but I suppose I'm still glad they've made one at all now), but if I had to guess perhaps it (and others seen here) features in the Netflix Camp Cretaceous show, which would explain the design. It also had a much nicer coloration in the concept art, which is a shame it wasn't completely brought over into the final toy, as the Edmontosaurus seems to be (hopefully as there is no in package pic of this yet).

Sarcosuchus is okay in terms of color scheme, but looks natural mostly, and the sculpt looks pretty decent. I'm eager to get this one.

I'm likely going to pass up on all of these repaints (with the exception of the green SS raptor). I'm certainly not interested in them, and I obviously want to save space for the new species.

I'm also hoping the brown and white theropod is a Segisaurus (and I hope the final figure looks that nice). That would be one of the last extended canon original park species (it was on the brochure map thing) that has needed a figure.


And some other images that I don't think where shared yet (from Jurassic Outpost)?

Saw a lot of these on instagram but wasn't able to comment here on the forum.

I don't understand why they decided to mix the colors of the Edmontosaurus that way, specially considering their source.

Paint on the head it is fine as it is but instead of those black patches on the body what they should have done is putting some thick dark stripes on the tail and some thinner ones for the body. That way it would look better and more similar to the JWE one.

Despite that I will still get it because this line needs more herbivores and specially hadrosaurs, and because Edmontosaurus is a favorite of mine.

The Crylophosaurus looked good from that 3/4 angle picture, but the in box picture...ugh, just like how it looked in the promo, too bulky and cartoony unfortunately.
The brown theropod and blue Iguanodontid are yet to be confirmed as the species people think they are, but for now, the brown theropod looks fine. The ornithopod looks too blue for my taste though.
Postosuchus looks alright, Sauropelta I don't know what to think honestly, those rounded proportions do not fit it at all. And hold on is it me or that green Velociraptor repaint resembles Charlie more that the attack pack one? Cause honestly I could pick that one up and use the attack pack as Delta since it´s colors are more similar to her.

I´m intrigued about that green theropod on the battle damage assortment, and the Velociraptor repaint looks good, but I´m gonna pass on it.

For last, oh my...The Tarbosaurus looks way better in this picture, it is very tempting. Sarcosuchus kinda disappoints though, I´m not a fan of the brown on the top and the tail looks short.
