Mattel has revealed their Jurassic Park exclusive for San Diego Comic Con (which begins on July 20) and it’s none other than acclaimed Hollywood director Steven Spielberg himself along with a Hammond Collection Dilophosaurus.
The set also includes a movie camera mounted on a tripod, a director’s chair, and an animatronic stand.
The tyrannosaurids continue! Here we have Wally the PNSO Albertosaurus, sculpted in a dynamic running pose. Looks pretty impressive, although I have to wonder how well he can stand without the aid of a support rod.
The newest reveal from Haolonggood is the famous Canadian nodosaurid, Edmontonia. The sculpting on the plate armour and shoulder spikes looks positively stellar! As with previous releases, it will be available in two distinct colour schemes.
Mattel Creations has revealed “The Gates,” a very large, very elaborate Hammond Collection set combining elements of both Jurassic Park and The Lost World. We have the bull/buck Tyrannosaurus rex, retooled and repainted from the HC T. rex, we have Lex and Tim Murphy, we have an ill-fated goat, six dinosaur sign posts, a Ford Explorer XLT with a detailed interior, sections of electric fencing, and the iconic gates with electronic lights and sound.
June’s been quite the month for reveals thus far and this latest one is literally the biggest yet: Mattel’s Hammond Collection Brachiosaurus. It looks to be the most poseable sauropod toy ever made, complete with a bendable neck and the (inaccurate) ability to rear up on its hind legs.
Move over, PNSO, because two new dinosaurs from Haolonggood have been revealed! First up is the Early Cretaceous stegosaur, Wuerhosaurus, in two distinct colour schemes. Both look attractive and realistic, and the sculpting is impressive, particularly the ragged edges on the plates.
And second is Pachyrhinosaurus, also in two colour schemes.
Wow, that sure came along fast! PNSO’s theropod rush continues with Keynes the Lythronax, another tyrannosaurid and a species with few toys to its name.
The capacious carnivores continue to come! Feast your eyes on Cole, PNSO’s dangerous Daspletosaurus, complete with chomping jaws and relatively large forelimbs!
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park, but Mattel is also making sure to give The Lost World some love by way of the newly revealed Tyrannosaurus rex Ambush Pack, part of the Legacy Collection.
Included is Ian Malcolm, a Mercedes-Benz ML320, and the beloved bull T.
Following up on last year’s Tyrannocon Rex vs JP93 set, Hasbro has revealed a second Jurassic Park-inspired Transformers Collaborative two-pack. Behold the vicious Decepticon Dilophocon vs the mighty (or perhaps not so much) Autobot JP12!
As you can see, Dilophocon transforms from a venom-spitting, frilled Dilophosaurus to a robot warrior armed with a heavy laser blaster.
Relative newcomer Haolonggood has been on something of a role these last two months, unveiling a series of highly impressive prehistoric figures, each one available in two different colour schemes, that easily rival anything from the other companies. Here’s hoping that this happy trend continues, and that Haolonggood gets wider distribution!
It’s Wilson again! No, wait, that’s not Wilson, it’s Cameron! Yes, it’s a brand new sovereign striding on the stage, and he looks to be PNSO’s best Tyrannosaurus rex to date! Even comes with what appears to be a replica of the skull of Sue!
PNSO’s third reveal for 2023 is a third giant carcharodontosaur: Mila the Mapusaurus. While it is hoped that the next reveal will be a prehistoric animal from a different branch of the vast evolutionary hedge, there can be no doubt that Mila looks smashing.
LEGO is marking the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park with five new sets based on scenes from the film, including the first ever Brachiosaurus figure. These are all slated for release on June 1.
Velociraptor Escape. Don’t rightly recall Ellie ever driving an ATV.
Behold Utahraptor! This big-headed blue beauty is based on the latest research, so it looks quite different from other Safari dromaeosaurs. A must-have for sure!
