In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

The Ouranosaurus is the only one that impresses me, I'll certainly get that one if I come across it. Maybe Bumpy too. I never got the Ankylosaurus and already have baby Bumpy.

Is the Chialingosaurus jointed mid-torso?
It does look that way. The new Velociraptor revealed previously also looks like it has a cut for articulation in the middle of its torso. Maybe this is some new gimmick for the Fierce Force assortment?

These have to be concept renders or something like that, ´cause they make the toys look terrible. I mean some of them dont even have eyes.

Having said that and trying to imagine them more defined and with better quality...

Love the Ouranosaurus, but the tail looks tiny. And just like the Carchar, inspired by JW evolution, these skins in particular (images don´t work here for some reason)

Even if this is just a render and not the final product, I just dont like the color palette of the Chialingosaurus. It straight up looks like a prototype/ test shot made with plastic leftovers.

Not going to comment about repaints that are not worth of attention.

I like that Ouranosaurus, definite pickup if I ever see it.

My fave is the ouranoaurus but ugh! tiny tail syndrome strikes again!  Also I like the sculpt of the allosaurus yet Im sure this isn't  a new sculpt right? Its def not the original first version LW:FK sculpt which I never liked. Why do I feel like Ive never seen it before? Maybe the weird pic resolution is making it look better to me, lol.

ohhh that ouranosaurus is gorrrgeous.
might be the first non plesiosaurus mattel figure i buy!

the allosaurus tail looks awful. ruins the figure. chap mei does it sometimes and yet they still look good?
like maybe its because its sooo... thin.

Could possibly be just a bad angle. Although it's not like any of the Mattel theropods in that size class have good tails.

Kronosaurus will be amazing
yes!!! a big kronosaurus would be good. would make sense as the first choice for a pliosaur too, as a rejected JP4 script had a kronosaurus.

I'd like that or at least Liopleurodon. I imagine they could get away with a Kronosaurus in the Massive Biters size range, and a Liopleurodon in the Roarivores size range. Maybe an Elasmosaurus too to go with the Plesiosaurus. Ichthyosaurus is on my wishlist as well. Sad how the Plesiosaurus and Mosasaurus are still the only marine reptiles in this line. Tylosaurus however doubtful, was in the Telltale game and is another one they could possibly do. A Dunkleosteus is also a must (since nearly line has one at this point). I hope that improves in the future, such as next year perhaps, since the line will be 5 years old then.

for me the Chap Mei Dunk is the closest to that. and yes!!! Ichthyosaurus i'd want more then annnny of the ones mentioned before.
i'd keep it in this:

i just bought two plesiosaurs to keep in the family fun aquarium bc it would look soo nice

I posted this review of the Mattel Attack Pack Troodon in the Mattel: New for 2020 topic, thinking it was a 2020 figure when in fact it is a 2021 figure. I deleted it there and posted it here. Just realizing this now.

This is actually a video by Andy's Dinosaur Reviews. Nice channel to which I subscribed to. A channel of dinosaur figure reviews and unboxing. When I find interesting videos, I post them here on the forum.

Coincidentally  Andy is on here, but he last posted about a year and 2-3 months ago, his profile is A @Andysdinosaurreviews
Yeah I'm also a big fan and friend of Andy. He's the reason why I have about half of my collection, he is super nice and funny, and me and him helped avatar_Reuben03 @Reuben03 with spreading the word about his phenomenal chap mei designs so they can start production. I just feel like lots of people criticize him just because he is a reviewer channel to begin with, but I don't understand what's the big deal with that. He is a great friend

Anyways, Mattel's ornithopods seem pretty realistic, besides those that appeared in film. Overall, for me, not too great or bad of a year.
But that cryolophosaurus is real bad-a**, so cool.
