are we looking forward to Rebirth and its toyline? The new trailer revealed they tweaked some of the designs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m1eOoUoVao

For all my complaints with Mattel they seem to be really putting up their A game for these Rebirth packs. Definitely not what I’d consider ‘playsets’ but they definitely look sweet. Humans don’t look half bad either.

Raptors? Any raptor figures?

So when do you think we'll get toys of these things?
Side note: Kinda shocked that they're actually kind of decent designs? Thought they'd be piss ugly.

>>11427649
How are you guys feeling about the new hybrid? It's not doing alot for me. It's a far cry from Predasaurs or Chaos effect that's for sure.

>>11427682

>>11427758
I like it more on screen than a toy tbqh

>>11427649
>>11427649
We animal planet bargain toys now

>>11427763
The face really kills any interest I could have had in it. It just looks like a scaly whale with gorilla arms. Now that we're 7 movies deep you'd think they would just have fun with the concept, but the end results are always so forgettably bland.

>>11427649
don't know if i want to get one of these or wait for the possible hammond version. I'm sick of wasting money on stuff they end up making a nicer version of.

>>11427855
I would just wait but its hard to tell if they'll ever actually make a hammond collection version since they never did the indominus or indoraptor

>>11427763
>>11427814
I feel like despite the extra arms and bulbous head, it really should be less symmetrical. Make one of it's arms bigger/smaller then the other, have random limbs or teeth sprouting out where they shouldn't.

>>11427196 (OP)
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m1eOoUoVao
I like this more than the first one.
>The new trailer revealed they tweaked some of the designs.
Which ones? I didn't notice.

>>11427758
If you mean the mutant, I like the way it looks in the art in the bottom right a lot more >>11427649
You can see that it's a misshapen T. rex head with growths on top. In the toy it looks more like an angry beluga. It also looks much better in the new trailer than in the first one.
Also I agree it probably would've been better to make it asymmetrical since it's a mutant rather than a hybrid.

If you meant this thing >>11427724 I don't really like it a whole lot since I feel like normalfags could mistake it for a real dinosaur or some shit. Also it doesn't seem to be doing anything that a velociraptor/utahraptor couldn't.

>>11427196 (OP)
>teal and piss

>>11427963
The mutant Rex looks okay but I agree, it definitely needed to be less symmetrical to sell the concept better. As it is, it feels more like a deliberately designed kaiju than a deformed dino.
>If you meant this thing >>11427724 I don't really like it a whole lot since I feel like normalfags could mistake it for a real dinosaur or some shit.
My issue with those is that it looks like some AI-generated dinosaur trying to pass itself off as a real thing.

>>11428094
Who are you, the concept artist? Sorry but I'm getting second hand embarassment just from your retarded greentext.

Jurassic Park is creatively dead.

>>11428094
>I'll show that stupid american pig!
>DURKA DURKA CHUNGUS DURKA DURKA HECKIN DURKA

>>11427919
Yeah I agree, it's meant to be some sort of GMO nightmare homonculus but it doesnt look anywhere near grotesque enough. You can practically hear the suits insisting on making it somewhat reminiscent of a T-rex just so dummies in the audience can point and gawk at it. Something more Resident Evil-esque in design would have fit the bill alot better.
>>11427963
Funny I thought the art looked great too. The toy itself just doesnt look all that menacing. As for the other chimera mutant, again, Chaos Effect did it better.

>>11428167
They'll never do it, universal just pulls in too much money in toy sales . You're stuck with PG-13 JP forever.

>>11427814
When I first saw that noggin I immediately thought about cannibalizing a D-Rex to make a customJP/JW Livyatan or some other killer sperm whale.

Funny, while we’ve yet to get any figures of mammals besides humans and that fox Beta was hunting, surprisingly we’ve gotten a neat variety of non-mammalian synapsids ever since 1993. Kenner gave us Dimetrodon, Lycaenops, and Estemmenosuchus, and Mattel’s made Lystrosaurus, multiple Dimetrodons (including an HC), Edaphosaurus, and now for the first time Inostrancevia officially has an articulated figure too. Canonically the first thing InGen revived was a sabertooth cat, so there’s always a chance we get one of those as a ‘the origin of JP’ playset or pack.

>>11428288
By all means go for it anyways. I love seeing the customs people are making from the mattel product. More to the point, more prehistoric mammals would be awesome. The deluge of synapsids, obscure suchids, marine reptiles, and other random inclusions has been the real highlight of the line for the last few years. Stil, I wish Mattel would get around to an Ultimasaurus already. There willcnever be a better opportunity than now.

>>11428660
Will do.
Gotta agree that the best part about Mattel picking up the license has been all the huge selection of lesser-known Mesozoic and even some Paleozoic critters that have been given life in articulated form. I never got Postosuchus but the fact that we went from only one croc-relative (ornithosuchus) to more than half a dozen (and counting) members of the family including giant crocodyliformes like Sarcosuchus still blows my mind.
Also, I’m psyched we’re getting Purusaurus, the first resurrected Cenozoic species.

>>11428673
>Purusaurus, the first resurrected Cenozoic species.
Incorrect, we got Gryposuchus earlier, also from the Miocene.

>>11427761
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, HEEEEELP!!!

>>11427963
>I don't really like it a whole lot since I feel like normalfags could mistake it for a real dinosaur or some shit
Well shit, i actually thought it was a real dinosaur that was just more scientifically accurate than the original movies used

Dinosaurs!!!!

Man, I feel like Charles de Gaulle right now...
Thank you for owning up to that.

Anyone ever notice how Hollywood loves the crocodile mouth vibe?

Godzilla 1998
Indominus Rex
Indo Raptor
Legendary Godzilla
Distortus

They must have some kind of template to follow with this shit. Especially on the godzilla designs, MF's might as well have no teeth at all they're so small.

>>11430253
Teeth are scary. Teeth sticking out is scary. Teeth go naw naw. Pretty simple really.

>>11430253
Apes bare their teeth when trying to intimidate, because teeth are scary. Dogs do this, too.
We are apes. We have a natural aversion to teeth. Teeth constantly bare means constant intimidation/scariness to some.
Crocodiles themselves are pretty scary, and are the closest living things to dinosaurs after birds. Closer than monitor lizards who do have lips.

>>11430253
Their teeth makes me turned on.

>>11430253
it's an easy non mammalian trait

>>11431663
No i only have that one

Nanmu wants suggestions forthe alternate paint scheme for the spino. Nothing too close to the new Spinos though

>>11427649
Do you imagine his giant weak point is the bulbous head?

>>11430253
Ever seen life-size sculptures of big dinosaur predators like T-Rex that have fleshy lips concealing the teeth even partially? Imagine this in place of Rexy in the original rain scene in JP1. Doesn’t have the same fear-inducing effect, right?

>>11431896
Oh fucking hell.

>>11431897
Lips concealing fangs can work and still be scary.

>>11431896
>>11431897
Nah bro fleshy lips or beak or whatever I don't care that shit is scary.

>>11431917
I think a good recent example is the unicorns in Death of a Unicorn.
>horses but also have cat like features
>retractable cat claw on the back of the hooves
>lips curl back like a cats to reveal fangs

>>11431897
they fucking chirp, they don't growl or roar they sing a song while they stalk and hunt you....I don't care about teeth. I care about that.

>>11432222
That's fucking retarded

>>11432222
probably sounded more like a mix between a crocodile and a ratite instead of chirping

>>11431897
I wonder if its eyes aren't looking at ground level because it'd make the staff feel uneasy instinctively even if it's a statue

>>11432256
Mattel really didnt market the military dinosaurs hard enough. Most of them feel like an after thought. They really could have floated an entire line that way too, shame.

I like how these guys turned out. Would have enjoyed them even more if they were a bit more game accurate, but the eyes are sufficiently creepy.

>>11432469
That would require them actually doing some toy design instead of shitting out another 500 barely different dinosaurs. Like don't get me wrong, I'm all for new dinosaur molds, but the entire point and play pattern of Jurassic Park is people interacting with dinosaurs. Fighting, trapping, taming, killing, surviving etc dinosaurs. Have 95% of your line be dinosaurs and barely anything for them to interact with has always been a mistake. This is why Kenner JP is the best JP line.

>>11432531
SEXXXXXXOO

>>11432532
>Some how Lanard knew this better than Mattel
really makes you think

>>11432630
Lanards various dino related lines are truly some of the best dino toys out there. Shame they were always so off the beaten path to the US for 99% of their releases.

>>11432683
It's a modern tragedy. No other toy company deserved success as much as they do, and yet, they burnt themselves out after their Aliens and Predator lines failed to match the success they had with Kong and Rampage. It's all the more frustrating when you consider how much better their chances with those properties would have been if those lines released a few years later (when both properties had new film installments).

That said it still surprises me playmates hasnt tried to take some of Mattel's dino thunder away. Turtles and Godzilla could both easily segway into dinosaur sublines, they've done so in the past, but Playmates is really dragging their feet.

forgot pic

Here's your super cool collector's edition Hammond Collection Lost World raptor bro. That'll be $15.99.

>>11433083
What the fuck why is its jaw like that?

>>11433166
Not an excuse.
>>11433083
This is unusually terrible, even for Mattel. What's up with that underbite? Get this Temu piece of shit out of here.

>>11432531
They really need to add one more articulation point on dinosaurs with long necks

>>11433200
Looks like they didn't scale it down enough

>>11433083
>>11433200
Looks like they used the lower jaw from a different brand of Raptors they have.

>>11433085
>>11433083
Gonna need a filing down then eh?

>>11433083
I think this figure looks like shit and is a huge step back from the atrociraptor, which is near perfect, but that jaw is an error. I saw 5 of them in person yesterday and none of them had that stupid lower lip.

>>11433202
I think the current joint setup but with bendy necks like the tail would be the ideal solution.

>>11433379
https://youtu.be/x-wE0TnYT-4?t=689

Apparently, it's a running issue with some of them. Some look better than others but it's not unique to one figure.

>>11432925
I don't blame Lanard. It's our retailers that fucking suck.

>>11431663
Nta, but i have the JP raptor

>>11437130
I dont either Im just sad things didnt pan out the way we would have wanted them to. They're still working on their fortnite clone after 3+ years. No mew product since those 6 inch corps figures either.

Would it ever be possible for Mattel to make an actual Ultimasaurus and the other Chaos Effect dinos or are they owned by Hasbro?

>>11437324
It's such an amazing figure. I have my two pre ordered on BBTS. I bought the JP3 ones of Lana but wasn't able to do that with these two so I'm waiting.

>>11437587
They Might. It's weird because they're pushing this legacy collection reimagined stuff, but it's not really legacy. They just dropped two new items. The raptor pack is redundant at this point and the Giga vs Theri is a strange choice.

Yes and no. Snarled lips pulled back over exposed gum and teeth is a better predatory look. Also lips or not, they all share teeth too small for the mouth. The legendary godzilla might as well be toothless.

>>11437863
Which one?
And from where?

bucket list, meet your endgame

>>11437707
>why yes, we will keep selling you the same raptor molds; how did you notice?

>>11438417
Cool print. I think you're off in a few areas but it's close enough.

>>11427196 (OP)
the last movie toys peg-warmed and I repeatedly found them even at stores that don't normally carry franchise movie toy-lines, like Burlington, Marshalls and Big Lots, and the 99Cent Only store (since it was still open).

I expect these to peg warm, too. Kids can get dinos at reasonable prices and likely already own some and it's not like they need to any one particularly new dino from this sequel/reboot. Unless there's someone that takes off like the velociraptors did in the popular culture, expect these to be highly discounted by the holidays.

>>11439303
All goes back to complete lack of any interesting toy design. It's neat to have available cheap new dinosaur molds but if I had to choose between 100 dinosaurs and a small handful of sets with boring "ripped from the movie" humans(exactly what we're getting)
And 30 dinosaurs but a slew of humans with the design ethos of the Kenner figures (including trapping and tracking gear, weapons, dinosaur hatchlings) and some playsets and vehicles that included clever play features instead of just "firing missile" I'd much rather have that.

Anyone else see these? I think they're pretty neat. I like the little shaving Can and the incubator accessories.

>>11439335
>>11439303
It's always funny seeing boomers project their fantasies onto the real world. News flash, the Mattel Jurassic line and the Playmates Godzills line were two of the best selling toylines last year because kids like monsters.

>>11438417
>30+ years since the first movie
>nearly 30 years since chaos effect came and went
>the new movie is all about the horror of hybrid dinos
>mattel still wont make the ultimasaurus
>universal wont merchandise it either
why are they so gay?

>>11440510
Not too bright are you?

>>11440510
>>11440510
News flash, no one said kids don't like dinosaurs. My issue is with toylines lacking any sense of play pattern beyond just "dinosaurs". How is it working out for Star wars dropping all sense of design and instead shifting to screen accurate replicas with no features or imaginative accessories? It used to be a cantina alien would get some guns for adventures. Now they'll get a cup to hold. You see similar things in the Jurassic lines. Hardly any people, what does come out are given accessories they explicitly used on screen in a film, like carrying a backpack or some shit and dressed in a t shirt. Compare it to the kenner figures which had an entire playset in a box for $5 with a figure in cool armor, a little dinosaur, and multiple pieces of equipment like weapons and capture gear.
Kids also buy the hell out of various moose toys products which are stuffed full of features and accessories and slime and all sorts of other stuff.
You're failing to acknowledge the reality that the only part of toylines that fail these days are aspects that incorrectly cater to a false, minority at best, collector mindset of boring screen accurate replicas. Mattel says humans don't sell, but they don't sell because they only make shitty boring versions of them. You can see this based on a variety of other toylines and things that do connect having some degree of fun and imagination present, compared to shelf warmers which tend to be movie tie in figures that do nothing except stuff a character in a box in their exact on screen outfits whether it's star wars, marvel, DC, or any number of other boring one off licenses.

>>11440510
The entire point of Jurassic Park is dinosaurs interacting with modern technology. Attacking, chasing, running from vehicles, breaking out of containment, running through city streets, fighting the military, being controlled by the military, the list goes on and on.

Making 99% of the toyline a generic dinosaur line is beyond retarded.

>>11437863
nice, I was hoping to get mine in the store today, but they haven't unpacked them yet unfortunately, so I was only able to get the Tiger raptor, which is... rough.
>>11437707
>It's such an amazing figure
it definitely looks nice, but articulation a bit meh. The head and neck have worse range than the JP3 raptors, though that's understandable since they thickened the neck to make it not look like it had a disproportionately large head like their JP3s did. Arm articulation is better and looks better especially at the shoulders, but the leg articulation is worse. The decision to swap out the disk joints for ball joints here has given it a more limited range of motion, but has improved the stability as has making the size of the feet larger.
One huge improvement though is that it doesn't have the paint rubbing issue that Nanmu's older figures had. I've been messing around with it's neck and haven't had any of the paint chipping that I had with the Vastatosaurus, Carnotaurus, or the JP3 raptors.

>>11440953

>>11440961

Went to Walmart and they had all of the new stuff out.
>Distortus
Looks great in person. Pretty much hammond collection quality outside of not having a glass eye. I understand why some will hate it or not want it just because it isn't a real dino, but its really well made. I'll probably be happy with this one unless the movie comes out and it somehow looks super different.
>nu-spino
Probably waiting for a Hammond Collection on this one. Not premium at all. The sculpt may not be bad but paint apps are shit so I'd personally rather just wait.
>Lab Lockdown Rex
It looks good but I think its really overhyped by some people. It's in no way on the level of the Hammond Collection version. Only way I'd get it is if I didn't have room for the Hammond one.
>bite n blast mosasaurus
It looks really cool and I love the new teeth on it, but I'm going to stick to my small mosasaurus because I am rapidly running out of room for these huge JP dinos.

When did this happen? I saw Hammond Trex on sale for $25 and Irritator on Amazon Prime for 9.99 just last year. I think I gave my Ceratosaurus to my nephew, and my brother gave it away to Goodwill (plus piles of other random junk) for free. I never thought that Hammond Collection can be worth anything,

>>11442684
Maybe they'll do a 2.0 in the future

>>11442693
Eh, it wasn't a good figure, and the dino itself was barely in JP3. I was being a cool uncle and I told my nephew that he can take any dino he wanted. The only thing I semi-regret was my brother told me last Christmas I think that I can have the Ceratosaurus back, but I told him I don't need it and just donate it away. There was a time in 2022-2023 when Ceratosaurus was just warming the pegs of my local Target, so I thought it was worthless.

>>11442684
>>11442696
The Rampage movie’s city-brawl Lizzie is another crazy example of this. Retailed in 2018 or so for $15usd. Current sold prices on Ebay are at +$200 MISB, and Lizzie wasn’t even a ‘collector’ type figure like the HC line is. Only thing Lizzie has on Cerato is a bigger presence in her movie (final boss) and that a big eldritch croc makes a badass display toy (plus the figure is a good stand-in for SCP-682)

>>11442696
It's a great figure wtf lmao. And before you go off and give me some bullshit about the ankles or slightly rounded teeth remember that it has better articulation and sculpt than literally 99% of all dinosaur toys, ever. Even side by side against other mattel offerings it's better than almost anything else they've put out, there's maybe like a dozen hammond collection dinos that are objectively better and most of those don't have a cool, classic dino archetype that this does.
Also helps that it's a great design that feels like a classic dinosaur that isn't tied to JP franchise. Sure it's in a JP movie, but one that's hated and is on screen for 10 seconds.

>>11442758
I think this touches on a pretty reasonable explanation to the appeal. It's not a famous JP rex or raptor, it looks much more like a William Stout, John Sibbick, Ricardo Delgado, or any number of other famous dino artists of the 80s,90s and 00s take on dinosaurs. I nabbed two of them for this very reason, we barely have any articulated dinosaur toys from that era of dinosaur design- really just the resaurus Carnage dinos, and most modern jurassic figures don't fit the bill either.

>>11442684
There's a few others that are early and I swear I never saw them on shelves
>Ankylo
>Irritator
>Ceratosaurus
>Geosternbergia
>Tricera
>Corythosaurus
>Metriacanthosaurus
>Stego

Crazy how I never saw any of these despite checking Targets constantly for TF and other lines
I missed the T-Rex too and I'm forever mad
He mad shelfwarmed and it was like every target ever clearanced them on the exact same weekend, sold out immediately and never again.
And nobody was reselling them either so I couldn't even cope and spend over retail to grab one late. They just dried up over a weekend time. I'd hope we get a reissue of some but it's Mattel and they're unbelievably dogshit with every line so I'm not holding out

>>11442826
The rex had a lot of issues, honestly many of the figures do. JP1 raptors are the worst raptors of the entire line, the rex has some wonky proportions and easily chips paint all over and it's chest joint wears out fast, the triceratops is very small and lacking key articulation, etc. They will almost certainly remake some of these down the line, whether or not it's in "the Hammond collection" or just the next version of the premium line, either way we're bound to get the key dinos in upgraded forms eventually.

the rule 34 of this thing and scarlet is going to go hard

>>11443175
I think I've figured it out. It's the lack of a unique head crest or any other additional iconic dino features on this guy which irk me. The fetal alcohol syndrome T-rex head just looks so uninspired. Meanwhile nothing else weird is going on with the rest of the body. There are no armor plates, no defensive portrusions on the tail or forelimbs, nothing beyond a pair of gorilla arms and skull blubber to indicate this thing is a mutant let alone a chimera. Shoop off the gorilla arms and the beluga skull-tit and it's just a normal t-rex.

This is nuts lol. I never bothered to check HC figure values online before this thread and didn't realize that all these glass eyed dinos with oversized duckfeet worth so much in the aftermarket

>>11443014
So it's good I missed some of them?

I've never seen the Ankylosaurus or Irritator in person and I had opted to get the Corythosaurus online since I didn't want to miss out on it like the other two. There were pretty good amounts of Ceratosaurus, Triceratops, and Metriacanthosaurus near me and there were a shit ton of Geosternbergia half off at my Target. Don't have the Stegosaurus, but hasn't it just released?

>I missed the T-Rex too and I'm forever mad
It's not that great desu. I wish Nanmu would just do a 1/18 line so I can move on from mattel.

>>11443203
>Shoop off the gorilla arms and the beluga skull-tit and it's just a normal t-rex.
I mean isn't that the point? It's supposed to be a T-Rex that is fucked up because the cloning process was botched.

I'm currently wanting the Ankylo, Irritator and Metriacantho the most

>>11433083
Picked up two Tiggers at my local Target today. Both had fucked up jaw. The problem is that the upper head is severely warped due to heat and gummy plastic. I dunked the left one in hot water for couple minutes and reshaped the upper head. He's okay now, although still sucks that the paintjob is not screen accurate at all.

>>11443926
Jurassic movies are the absolute worst for spoiling everything before the movie comes out. I'm trying my best to not watch anymore advertisements until the movie comes out.

I have some optimism for this movie compared to the other two. However I really don't like that Scarlet Johansen is in this movie either.

>>11427783
its hard for me to find a dino toy my son doesn't have any I really like the air boat.

>>11440768
I'm gen x with very young kids and this is so spot on. I have to order some ancient dinos that spit water and even then he-man had figures that were better at spitting water 20 years prior to these 90s dinos. but they get a lot of play time.

>>11442826
In my honest opinion the Hammond Collection T-Rex was awful. The proportions and sculpt were shit, the feet were comically huge and it just looks stupid. That new Rebirth T-Rex that's $30 is somehow significantly better in every way for half the price. Probably the single best T-Rex since the original Jurassic Park toyline in 1993 actually.

The only Hammond Collection figures I even like are the Ceratosaurus, the Allosaurus, and the Spinosaurus.

>>11446775
Yea it's just to me so many of the good looking figures are weighed down my gimmick shit
I wish he had good leg joints. That T-Rex looks good but the tree trunk legs kill me
I love putting the HC Dinos in fun poses so it's kinda needed to me

Said fuck it and got the $40 Spinosaurus today. Its a pretty good sculpt so I figure I can paint it up and make it collection worthy.

>>11446841
Don't get me wrong, I love articulation. But not when it comes at the cost of the figure itself looking good. And sadly a lot of the Hammond Collection figures sacrifice good proportions and sculpts for the articulation.

>>11446930
Oh definitely
Some look crisp but barely hold a decent pose
I'm starting to look more towards Nanmu stuff but they're a different scale it seems
The Indominus is god damn beautiful tho

>>11442826
take it from someone with 3 Tyrannosaurs, it really isn't a good figure. The proportions suck, the double jointed knees while providing more articulation look really bad, the hips are terrible, and the sculpt is way softer than the other large therapods. It is in desperate need of a 2.0 to make it match the Giga and Spinosaurus

>>11446622
I finally got one today. I'm very happy. Been waiting for a while for it to be made.
The Lab TRex in this newest line is real good looking too. This new wave of figures is overall great. Very tempted by the colossal sized Trex. I hope we get a Hammond Collection version of him soon too.

>>11447582
The Buck screams in horror as one of his compatriots has an unpainted face and feet.

>>11447582
Are you planning to paint the new spino to look more accurate to JP3?

Felt like an idiot, I drove to a big city near me yesterday just to pick up HC Spino in a run down part of town, got caught in Friday afternoon traffic and thunderstorms for 3 hours, had to brush elbows with dorks looking for Switch 2, wasted bunch of time and gas, just to get notified that HC Spino is available today at my nearby local Target (10 min bike away in a beautiful countryside) or free shipping to be delivered tomorrow.

>almost get into accident getting there
>thankfully it was in stock (only one on shelf)
>so happy, smiling big on the trip home despite
>check online today, it's available for pick up at my store
Should have listened to the nice lady

>>11448835
Why did he do it?

>>11448333
It summer vacation no and I'm not TAing for any summer classes, so hopefully I'll be able to take the time and finally paint the Doe.
>>11448653
No, I'm a total amateur when it comes to painting. I only did the Buck because the crowdfund failed and I'm doing the Doe, because the base Rex's head and feet look really bad. The Spino doesn't have enough problems for me want to fix the blue details on the sail or make it more grey-blueish tone of the spino in general.

>Black wash over the entire figure
>cream dry brush over bottom jaw/white arms
>coffee colored dry brush over dark brown spots on legs and head
>gloss modge podge on teeth and tongue to make it look wet

I'll probably make some more alterations after the movie is out but he looks a lot better already. Probably can't tell from the picture but the details of the sculpt pop so much more and makes it look so much more premium.

>>11449656
That black wash really does make him stick out more. Very nice.
I am tempted to get that figure. If I didn't already drop a lot of money on other figures I'd go for it.

Pre-orders for Indo starting latest this week according to nanmu instagram. Vest and extra head are a preorder bonus.

Bros, you're dealing with Spinonigger. You can't take chances, you did the right thing, there are no guarantees. Consider yourself fortunate you even got one.

>>11450094
how much is this likely to cost? I've never bought a nanmu but I love the indoraptor design and mattel is unlikely to ever make one worth a shit.

>>11451313
At least 3 dollars

>>11451313
probably between $50 and and $60 going off of the size and how it compares to their other figures.

Do you guys rate the current $53+tax glowie Indominus? Seems like it is a pretty steep price, and I just need a definitive Indominus, I don't particularly care about the electronic gimmick. Will there be a Hammond Collection? Seems like with the Ceratosaurus, Carnotaurus, etc. prices picking up in the aftermarket, and Spinosaurus being scalped to hell, the HC line is doing as well as it's ever been. Releasing Indominus HC will be a no-brainer

>>11451763
I'm confident in a big HC Indominus
I don't like gimmick stuff or the ugly leg detail thing
I'll consider Nanmu's here >>11432853 while I wait for HC

>>11451790
hopefully they redo the t-rex(or release a JW T-rex) at the same time

>>11451763
>Will there be a Hammond Collection?
Yeah I expect it is next for a big HC release. That or an Indoraptor.

>>11451663
How do the larger dinos in this line scale with JP dinosaurs?

>>11452686
Not at all. The raptors are 1/12 while the others are 1/35

>>11452694
So they're bigger?
I can't seem to find good pics of Nanmu in hand next to HC stuff

>>11452686
They dont scale with the 1/18 HC at all. The Raptors are 1/12 so they are much bigger and the large theropods are 1/35 so they are much smaller

NEW

You could use them as JP style Utahraptors i guess

Should I black wash the hammond collection spino? I sort of want to but at the same time I feel like its going to end up being worth a bunch of money
