Jurassic World (Various): New for 2022

[Giganotosaurus]

I hope Kaiyodo releases Jurassic figures in their Revoltech line! I remember they made a Jurassic t rex figure, and when they eventually lost the rights, made it a generic t rex figure.

Where's the paint?

Where's the paint?

Gone, reduced to atoms.

I am way more concerned about the Ichthyovenator's micro snout, poor creature...
(this settles it down, I'm not picking this one)

[Faelrin]

Wow both the Triceratops and Ichthyovenator had better paint apps in the promo pics. What happened?

The only one I kind of like is the Ampelosaurus. Think I'll skip it since I have limited space for these as of now and not sure what my future situation will entail as far as space goes. At least the Ampelosaurus is still close to the leaked and promo pics of it, so I hope that weird Siamosaurus is also close enough to those earlier pics, since I still want it for its resemblance to the Ark Spinosaurus.

That aside I'm wondering when pics of the next batch of human sets with Kayla and the Pyroraptor, and the Alan Grant and Dimetrodon one will show up since I think BBTS said those ship in June? I'm not expecting much different sculpts then what we've seen so far/released, but I am curious what the paint apps on those will be like. Both Beta and the Dilophosaurus surprisingly had really decent paint apps for their prices.

Yes. The only one you really need is the Dreadnoughtus. 

[suspsy]

Wow, those are a step down from the promo pics. And what is with the weird shape of the Ichthyovenator's skull?

The overall quality of Mattel's JW products really has gone down since 2018. I started working on a review for the Rajasaurus tonight and I'm finding it significantly less appealing than the Roarivores Ceratosaurus that was my very first Mattel review.

Props to Mattel for sculpting a subnarial (?) notch, but because of the paint (or lack thereof), it looks like an egg-tooth, or a human nose. Getting Mr Burns vibes, personally.

BBTS can be off by a month or so, those may not release til end of June/July..or they won't have them til then.

It's nothing new, Mattel has issues when it comes to assets not designed for them or in the movies.  Sometimes they get a good one, most times..not.  The Irritator should have told us how they handle Spinosaurs that aren't in the films.   You can't see the tail but I still can't figure why the spines on the bottom of the tails..?

[Flaffy]

Weird how they completely omitted teeth on the tip of it's jaw. I'm constantly impressed by how Mattel manages to screw up basic anatomy on their sculpts.

[Gwangi]

The Ichthyovenator is a hot mess and an easy pass. So happy I'm not a completist, lol. Mattel does not do spinosaurs well and for that reason I only have the Spinosaurus and Irritator...and the Hammond Collection Baryonyx now. I've liked all of their Abelisaurs though and will be getting the repainted Rajasaurus instead of the current one. Still love that Ampelosaurus.

The Ampelosaurus and the Ichtyovenator do not appeal to me, but I am happy that Mattel is coming up with new species. The repaints of the Triceratops and Rajasaurus look nice indeed.

In box photos of the next wave of Ferocious Packs confirms the mystery therapod to be Rugops Primus!

[suspsy]

So . . . a feathered Rugops that appears to have only two fingers on each hand?

[Gwangi]

I saw that the mystery theropod was a Rugops. Never would have guessed that one. I wonder if that's what it was always intended to be?

[Flaffy]

[Stegotyranno420]

Well it really does live up to its name, Rugops, which means "Ugly Face" or something along those lines.
I dont wish to be so bashful of these guys, but as someone said earlier,  it is amazing how often they manage to mess up anatomy.  I seen cheaposaurs more accurate

But I am so glad they made a Rajasaurus

[Carnoking]

So . . . a feathered Rugops that appears to have only two fingers on each hand?

That's just about the size of it.

[Flaffy]

Out of all the Mattel anatomical screw ups, the Rugops has gotta be the most baffling (not the worst mind you, but the most baffling).
You'd think that they'd notice that the sculptor gave two-fingered arms on an Abelisaur... Even a 5 year old child can point out that two-finger hands is a feature that "belongs to" Tyrannosaurs. But I guess the arms are small enough for the error to not be as noticeable, especially when posed in a tucked-back position. Compare that to Rajasaurus's steroid pumped, weight lifting arms.

Secondly, out of all the dinosaurs to give feathers, Mattel chose Rugops? It would've been FAR more fitting to include feathers on any of their Coelurosaurs, e.g. Ornitholestes, Coelurus, Proceratosaurus etc etc

And finally, very disappointed with Dimetrodon's paint apps. It looks incredibly lazy, and I don't understand why Mattel couldn't give it the same paint as the Extreme Damage one. The lack of paint on the sail (on the neck) is very distracting too; no reason why they couldn't have spared a drop of red paint on the sail when its ED counterpart has a fully painted sail.

[Lynx]

Yet another figure suffering from 'slap feathers on it therefore making it accurate'

[MLMjp]

So it's Rugops after all...truly an "ugly face"

I had the intention of skipping the extreme damage Dimetrodon and go for the ferocious pack one. Now Im reconsidering that.

I would like to know if the latest roar strike reveals are just wave 2 or a mix from both wave 2 & 3. Some leaks suggested a Nasutoceratops on that size range and I couldn't get the original...except that I recently found one for a "relatively good" price, and I don't know if I should wait or just go for it.
