The Rebirth is imminent edition

previous: >>11427196

This is neat, reminds me of the Mighty Max stuff. Did the other JW movies have this too?

>>11453084
Now that i look at this image. You could easily use the nanmu raptors as JP style Utahraptors and the Carnotaurus as the ones from the novel since they were stated to only be 7 feet tall.
You would require massive balls to repaint such beautiful figures tho

I now have all of the HC large lads
>>11453217
I need to get the Nanmu Tiger stripe raptor since it most closely resembles the old Utahraptor.

>>11453207 (OP)
Nanmu Indoraptor preorders are out apparently

>>11454151
It's not up on either of their normal retailer yet.

https://lanatime-shop.com/collections/nanmu-studio?sort_by=created-descending
https://5ktoys.com/search?q=nanmu&type=product&options%5Bprefix%5D=last

I don't think anyone posted about this in the last thread, but it looks like Nanmu is scrapping abdomen articulation in their upcoming Spinosaurus

>>11454750
I guess they couldn't find a way to not ruin the sail in the process? Looking forward to seeing the colors of the 2nd one

>>11454750
I am ok with this. I doubt Spinosaurus was a very flexible animal anyway with that huge fucking sail on its back

>>11453345
Damnn
I'm hoping for a 2.0 T-Rex still
i want the Metriacantho, Irritor and Concavenator still

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

>>11454927
you could always buy 2 and blackwash one but not the other.

>>11454927
As scummy as it sounds, just get another one in-box as precaution. Spino will always be in demand, and it is not actually that hard to get. Target refreshes inventory every midnight, at least for me without fail I was able to see HC Spino either available for shipping or pickup every morning. After securing a mint copy, you can go ahead with the wash and even adding the blues on the sail.

Do you guys have any recommendation for lesser known glup shitto JW dinosaurs that you like and secretly kind of good?

>>11455145
I plan to get the Inostrancevia. Then again, I like the surprising number of synapsids the Jurassic lines have produced over the years and welcome more non-mesozoic critters.

>>11455145
Did none of you buy the Nigersaurus

https://x.com/HollywoodHandle/status/1933211053535404293

Rebirth is tracking for a pretty big opening weekend and film's budget was only $180 Mil. (Vs Superman's $363 Mil. budget and FF's $250 Mil. budget). So looks like we'll be getting JP/W toys for a long time

>>11455246
I know Edwards is a much more competent Special FX director than Gunn, but it's crazy how much better Rebirth looks than Superman given it had nearly half the budget. I watched the recent Superman trailer and its visuals looked horrendous.

>>11455255
Gunnman is in reshoot hell, of course it looks like shit. And somehow it doesn't look half as bad as F4.

>>11455246
Superman and FF don't even look their budget
rebirth looks better but it is still $180 million so it better look good

>>11453345
What's your favorite HC figure?

>>11455145
IMO whenever they make a marine reptile it seems to have better quality and more effort put into it than your average Mattel theropod carnivore. The Torvoneustes in the Rebirth frenzy pack line looks really cool, albeit a bit odd with rear flippers that are larger than the front ones. They aren't recent, but there was a Dakosaurus and Nothosaurus that also look nice. In the larger size toys they have Styxosaurus from the Chaos Theory line that is still around in some places, and in the past they've done Kronosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Liopleurodon and Plesiosaurus. Might be some other species i'm forgetting.

While it wouldn't fall in the under appreciated category, the Rebirth Mosasaurus toys look pretty cool and are more realistic than the previous Jurassic World Mosasaurus design.

Troodon arrived early today, and while I really like it, it feels way out if scale with the line, even more than the juvenille rex. It's bigger than the raptors and the Dilo.
>>11455268
I missed some of the early figures in the line so I cant say anything about them, but of the onse I have, I'd say it's a tie between the Giga and Spino with the Allosaurus coming in a close 3rd.

>>11455383
About the Torvoneustes flippers, that's just how the real things were.

>>11455405
>I missed some of the early figures
Cerato and Galli. Looks like you have everything else.

The Indoraptor is up on Lanatime and it's cheaper than the standard raptors
https://lanatime-shop.com/collections/nanmu-studio/products/nanmusmart06

>>11455405
The Troodon would have been a lot better if it was smaller and it came with two instead

Thinking about getting my first pnso figure, is the warping really that bad?

>>11455678
Missed some of the human figures as well. I dont have the JP Grant or Mr. Arnold.
>>11456189
The Troodon really feels like it's supposed to be a small creature in a 1/12 line like the old Amber Collection. It just too big in 1/18.

Is there a site that has a list of all the Jurassic World/ Park Captivz figures that have come out with pictures?
Don't know how I missed these

>>11453209
>they painted the spino in the water's sail horizontally not vertically striped
Mattel, everybody

>>11457146
One of them has that pattern in the film, dum dum.

What creatures are you hoping to see in a Jurassic toy line that haven’t already been part of it before?
I’d love to see a JWE Olorotitan in toy form.

>>11457305
All the Jurassic World Evolution animals

>>11457305
More marine reptiles.

>>11457305
Megalodon

>>11457305
I want them to go crazy and do non-reptilian sea life like anomalocaris, sea scorpions, opabinia, dunkelosteus, ammonite or orthoceras. even if some of those weren't that big they could just say they were genetically modified to be huge, like how velociraptors are not accurate size

>>11457305
The Chaos Effect toys!

>>11457305
I’d like to see fish, amphibians, and the things in-between like Tiktaalik. Prionasuchus could be the same sub-line that most of the non-Mosasaurus sea reptiles have been made in. Dunkleosteus would totally work with JW line, though how they choose to do the body will be a bit tricky (newest estimations of size/shape or the classic versions with shark-like or stout eel-like tail).

Other than that, keep the non-dino and non-pterosaur reptiles coming, the Triassic had so many fun and weird dead-ends. That and maybe a revised Estemmenosuchus.

Haven't had a chance to take my own pics yet, but found this spino at the thrift store today for $2, was happy with the find.

>>11458584
What a goofy motherfucker.
Nice find, anon.

>>11458587
Thanks. I have a lot of nostalgia for those 90s dino figures. Had so many from dollar stores and elsewhere back in the day.

>>11457305
The crystal palace dinosaurs as a stunt line where the backstory is that the park made them as a gimmick.

>>11458615
>modern-engineering retrosaurs

You are a man of fine taste.

>>11455230
Nigersaurus is the only medium sauropod with a decent sized tail

>>11455268
dont have many yet but id say ghost is my current fav.
>>11457146
theres 2 horizontal and 2 vertical striped spinos anon

Had Jurassic The Hunted been more successful back in the day, it would have been cool to get some figures from it. I sort of liked the edgier/spikier looks.

>>11453209
Picked up the T-Rex one today

>>11458584
Took a pic

The Nanmu Rex looks so good

>>11459710
That's a spiney boy. Not bad for a thrift pickup. Would adopt

>>11459710
Nice

This is my prediction for the SDCC exclusive this year lol

>>11453207 (OP)
Picked up the T-Rex today

>>11462280
this giant one? how is it? I thought about grabbing it, but it looks like such an enormous shelf hog.

>>11462368
This one

>>11462529
I just want a good T-Rex that isn't weighed down by Gimmick shit

>>11457305
Ultimasaurus. Please god its the only thing I want.

>>11453207 (OP)
I'm trying really hard no to buy one of these dinos

>>11462944
If you do, I recommend this T-rex >>11462529 or the Quetzalcoatlus. The Hammond Collection Spinosaurus that recently came out is really nice too.

>>11462987
i would probably go good old reliable t-rex, tho i do like the Colossal Titanosaurus Dinosaur

>>11462638
Id say its pretty good. Detailing is nice for the price point, no weird gimmicks, just moveable limbs and jaw

>>11462944
I resisted too but then just got the Rex. First dino toy Ive bought it awhile and Im happy with it

>>11462368
NTA, but I’m tempted to get the new SC Rex. I already own the first SC Rexy (normal and roaring battle-damage one) but this one is beefier in its build. I just moved though and have no shelving to put any of my SC’s upon (let alone an additional one), so hopefully this new Rex stays in-stock long enough for me to get a large enough bookcase or something.

Anyone else collect these? I think they're neat, just wish they would keep it restricted to dinos and humans from JP. Don't care about JW. Though the Mosa looks kinda cool.

>>11463223
Funko slop is atrocious but I want the Brachio cause it isn't the default soulless eyes and face

>>11463317
aren't the compies red in the new movie?

Has anyone seen the story packs out in the wild? Local Walmarts don't have them.

God, the Acro sculpt looks so good

>>11453207 (OP)
Mattelcucks btfo

>>11463402
Legacy was a mess to start to be fair

>>11463344
I agree on pop eyes but these are not pops. They're smaller blind box figures with colored eyes.

>>11463402
what a strange video.
The Legacy collection is still going strong and releases all sorts of vehicles so I don't know what he's complaining about with that. His crying about the Hammond Collection was really bizarre since he doesn't address that they have much better articulation that the LC figures and generally better deco. Like I expected him to complain about how the the JP1 Hammond Collection figures are inferior to the figures from later movies, but he doesn't even do that. The exclusive this is also such a goofy complaint, because most of the "exclusive" are just figures with slightly different deco from mainline figures or figures that no one other than hardline collectors would actually want.

>>11463429
He has set ways of thinking and cant go outside of it. He considers HeMan Origins a failure because they haven't released all the original serise figures yet, and considers them doing things like 200X wasted slots and "wasting collectors time". Because he can't wrap around other people wanting things he doesn't, and he doesn't understand that people constantly talking about the original figures getting released means the line is constantly being talked about.
He's autistic, like actually autistic not the insult, and it should be taken into account when watching his content

>>11463402
>Richard Hammond
>John Arnold

>>11463372
Honestly i would prefer it without the back spikes but other than that it's really good

>>11463429
Michael just likes to bitch. I don't like everything Mattel has done but I am glad we're getting all the vehicles and humans we have so far.

>>11463402
Lol, he deleted my comment. What a spaz. I wasnt even being insulting. This dude is the sterotypical gen x loser who cries about muh playsets.

>>11463515
I would like a Utility shed or Raptor Pen Playset desu. Some fence pieces and tour track would be cool too.

>>11463402
>I don't care about dinosaurs, I just liked the fashion in the first movie

Why should we give a fuck what he has to say after this

>>11463429
It's strange he calls it a cash grab that is unfulfilled from greatness while panning across the collection showing they made everything you would actually want

>>11463402
genuinly one of the most poorly put together critiques of Mattel I've ever seen. Annoying spastics in here could do a better job arguing about the issues present in Mattel's lines.
>Complaining about double dipping with the Brachiosaurus of all things
The LC Brachiosaurus is the CGI Brach and the HC is based of the anamotronic head. They represent two distinct versions of the Brach that

>>11463673
>The LC Brachiosaurus is the CGI Brach and the HC is based of the anamotronic head. They represent two distinct versions of the Brach that

THERE SHOULD ONLY EVER BE ONE RELEASE ONLY SO I DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT ONE I WANT TO BUUUUUUUUUUUYYY I HATE HAVING TO THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINKKKKKK

No really, he followed that up by saying he's just going to box it and get rid of it, he doesn't even like Dinosaurs, what makes him think he has an opinion worth sharing

>>11463528
He's always been an ass making snarky comments like that. A lot of his critiques make no sense.

Humans - HC is better than LC in every way.
Dinos - HC is getting better, the Giga and Spino are legit good Dino figures.
Vehicles - We need the Ingen Helicopter, Trailer and Humvee Snagger maybe some hunter tents and a JP3 Airplane and Boat.
Playsets - Raptor pen, Visitor Center playset, fence pieces

Mattel is putting out original trilogy stuff, I am a bit annoyed we haven't gotten an HC Gennaro and Harding yet, (I doubt we'll get the kids) but we're getting some cool TLW stuff.

And for JP3

Billy Brenan with Hang Glider and Pteranodon nest with some eggs and hatchlings would be kick ass.
Kirby family with Boat
Just give us Nash, Cooper and Udesky with the Plane

>>11463673
And don't forget that Jurassic World, under Mattel, is an evergreen toyline. So far as I can remember, Mattel has had a new sauropod on shelves (in Targets at least) every year since they debuted in 2018. The last time a Brachiosaur was on shelves was somewhere in 2019-2021. No matter how you slice it, it's a sensible double-dip, if you want to call it that - much like keeping T. rexes and raptors on shelves, or how Jakks Pacific has a Sonic in every wave of their Sonic line.

>>11463515
What was your comment?

>>11463402
Why is he always so hostile?

>>11463719
He's a fuckwit, is why.

>>11463719
It's funny, he has no argument, so he screams SLOP SLOP SLOP while mockingly repeating what the other person said like a school yard argument

>>11463699
But by Retroblastings argument you should just put dinosaurs without a brand on the shelf and people would buy them anyway, isn't he smart??

>>11463719
I have no idea how anyone could think the legacy collection is better than the hammond collection as a whole

>>11463719
How did anybody NOT expect this turbo Soi goblin retard to act this way?

>>11463709
All I said was that the video seemed very rough and that his attacks on the Hammond Collection didn't really make sense since most people like the HC and it generally sells well.
>>11463719
lol, what a freak, that dude was even less confrontational than I was and the autismo insulted him for no reason.

>>11463372
God, the Acro is so big. I wish it had been completed in time for the Cyberzoic Kickstarter

>>11463504
I love the spines, I just wish it was green like so many of the classic depictions of Giganotosaurus. Carcharodontosaurids should be Green (except for Carcharodontosaurus itself who is brown and black with red crests) and have iguana-like spikes.

>>11463719
Maybe the retroblast spammer really is him. That comment reads like some troll crap a troll I see here.
>>11463366
I haven't. Is it going to be at Walmart?

>>11463766
>>11463733
>>11463721
>>11463719

Why are you mongoloids paying so much attention to a nobody???? Fucking hell, you can't even Maintain the dino thread consistently on here and this is the most attention this fucking board has gotten in awhile. Tomorrow is the HC stegosaur drop how about we talk about that instead retards? or the SDCC dino exclusive for this year???

It seems the tariffs are taking care of the shotty figure companies, never forget picrel. Pains me see BOTM being a small company going under but they're really not great value even if the sculpts are great. The bad paint jobs and terrible stability and inconsistent articulation along with horrific prices are not doing them any favors.

>11464560
>Tomorrow is the HC stegosaur drop how about we talk about that instead retards?
what's there to talk about? It's not out yet and people have already complained about it's tail being wrong and it having now jaw articulation, there's nothing much else to say until it actually get into people's hands.
>Pains me see BOTM being a small company going under but they're really not great value
oh you're just another shitposter

How high will Hammond Spino go?

Im thinking of ordering a few as an investment. Theyre only about 100 on ebay but might reach 500 in a year

The fucking Buck is an SDCC exclusive.

>>11464760
it barely looks better than the original rex

>>11464761
it looks dramatically worse than the Buck from the crowdfund when it comes to paint deco. I can't believe they didn't fix the hips at all

>>11464760
What's that cute little Rex.

>>11464767
Personally, I would have liked for this to have been a "soft-release" of an updated T. rex figure, with a mass-market version coming out during the holiday season. The fact that the deco is worse makes this especially disappointing.

>>11464754
and who would buy them for 500 you dork?

>>11463719
Because he has to deal with retarded fanboys.

>>11464776
That would have been nice. They could give us a new JP:LW buck t-rex later using a new mold.
>>11464754
Please no invest in dinos

>>11464760
>>11464761
>>11464767
Is it supposed to be based on the paint scheme of the TLW Buck rex? The thing that makes me think it is the pattern on the body / arms.

>>11464754
Spino is not the figure to "invest" in it's going to have the largest distribution of any HC figure since the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Are there any dinosaur conventions you know of that normally sell the toys or bootleg DVDs of all those out of print documentaries

>>11464760
>>11464775
>What's that cute little Rex.
Looks like a toy version of the inflatable Rex costume people wear to conventions.

>>11465082
Yeah, just like the Gate version. They're definitely using the Kenner Bull Rex as reference. The movie buck is a lighter green.

>>11465156
Spinonigger will go up trust me. This is how it was with other superabundant figs like gallimimus and even the original Tyrannosaur. You couldn't pay people to pick them up on clearance and look where they are now. HC is the strangest line to collect no doubt....

>>11464569
I bought one too many of those BOTM, only to give them away to charity. Try again Sherman. I'd rather pay premium prices for a nice statue than wannabe action figures that "look nice."

>>11464569
Before today there were no less than 3 video review of this figure proving those points you made completely invalid. Except for the jaw articulation, it has that beautiful raised tail design that any real patrician can appreciate. I'm on my way to pick mines up and savor it for myself.

>>11464760
It would be a REAL dick in the face for the dino community if its the same HC rex body just with a new head and smaller feet. Given the absolute mastery shown with the Spinosaurus, you can't go back to that body. We need a proper new body with a beefy neck and curves.

Incredible that the decades old kenner lost world stegosaurus still mogs this piece of shit when it comes to tail movement. It's got some of the worst range of movement of any of the larger rubber tailed figures.In general, the articulation feels like it's actually worse than the HC Ankyosaurus. Nice paintjob at least.

>>11464760
somebody please id the chubby tyranno in the lower right

>>11465966
it's probably a convention exclusive toy of this >>11465328 that comes with the Buck.
I wonder whose face will be in the costume?

What are the best pteranodon figs?

>>11453207 (OP)
Hey guys, random but would anybody happen to know what dinosaur toy is being described in this post?
I tried virtually everything to search for it but nothing’s come up, I think it might have been from a more obscure brand.

If I remember correctly one of the sounds made was of the T-Rex breaking out (loud banging on metal sound) followed by the roar of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park (the last one it does after knocking the Ford down into its enclosure). I think the T-Rex might have been orange but it’s been years since I’ve seen it, I got it in the early 2000’s at Wal-Mart.

>>11467106
I found it!
It’s called the T-Rex Express from Lionel Learning Curve

The Rebirth Super Colossal Rex is great and it feels like the proper successor to the Bull T-Rex thanks to the modern chunkier proportions they gave the new Rex.

Just saw the movie. 6/10

Toys are good but fuck mutants and hybrids, I'm tired of this shit

>>11467156
was there a spino vs mutant fight?

>>11467156
cope and seeth

>>11467156
Better or worse than Dominion?

>>11467397
nta but its way way better . Dominion was dogshit

>>11467156
What's the rating if you like mutants and hybrids

>>11467397
Better, I doubt they can make something worse than dominion, that movie was pain.

>>11467472
I guess 7/10? The drex has like 2-3 minutes of screentime

>>11467452
>>11467499
Ok, good. I figured as much, Dominion is near unwatchable to me. Only one in the series I've only watched twice.

>>11467156
>>11467452
Can you guys rank all 7 films? Pls no spoilers.

>>11467753
Nta, but I saw it yesterday as well. Resency bias may cloud my judgment though.
1. JP
2. JWR
3. LW
4. JW
5. JP3
6. JWFK
7. JWD

>>11467764
Now rank them by the dinosaur parts alone unless you were already

>>11467764
Wow better than LW? That's saying something. I hope it's that good. I did see someone on yt say it was way better than the JW "trilogy", and closer to the first two.

>>11467776
From just dinosaur parts and spectacle?
>JWR
I'm sorry but the Mosa and the river boat scenes are some of the best in the franchise if not the best. I love the Mosa so much man, I cannot be objective about it in the slightest. I won't talk about any other scenes to avoid spoilers.
>LW
The Buck and Doe, the Game Trail, the Stego defense of their baby, and the hunt in the long grass are iconic, and I will never forget the last scene with the Rex family and the Pteranodon
>JP
The Tyrannosaurus break out and the Gallimimus hunt are so good, and I love both the scenes with the Brachs
>JP3
The pteranodon cage is good, and even though I generally don't like how smart the raptors are, they look great and the scenes with them on the hunt are fun.
>JWD
I love the Theri scenes, the Malta escape was a lot of fun, and the scene with the Giga bullying the old female Rex was great I loved how naturalistic if felt. Honestly it has some of the best Dino stuff in the JW trilogy, but it also has some of the worst and has the absolute worst writing
>JWFK
Indoraptor was so cartoony, but in a fun way
>JW
The only scenes I remember are the Mosa eating the baby sitter and the kaiju battle end and of the 3(4?) kaiju battles in the franchise it's the absolute worst. I will never forgive the slow motion raptor run.
>>11467791
like I said, recency bias may play a roll in ranking it above Lost World so it could fall back down after I've had more time to think about it, but it's easily better than the JW trilogy and JP3.

Sometimes I'm surprised with how much hate Dominion gets. I hated Fallen Kingdom far more. The bugs sucked but Dominion had some cool moments with real dinosaurs. FK was hybrid, clone girl in spencer mansion.

>>11467806
Yeah like that.
I feel like this way of looking at it is one that isn't considered by a lot of modern critics even thought this is actually the most important thing to anyone under 13 years old watching.
Good to hear JWR will be enjoyed by children at least

>>11467499
>The drex has like 2-3 minutes of screentime
Good I want dinosaurs not weird hybrid freaks.
Is there any forced diversity bullshit? Or lame ass comedy trash? No franklin or zia type character?

>>11467975
Forced diversity like Extreme Ghostbusters or Forced diversity like all female Ghostbusters?

>>11467977
either

>>11467452
>way way better than Dominion
Alright that sold me
I'll still keep my expectations low

>>11467156
I just want to see chaos effect bullshit in a movie. They keep shortchanging me ans giving me downiesaurs instead.

Also saw the movie yesterday.
It's a lateral move.
Dominion has some of the best dino scenes ever put to film and lots of impressive animatronics and puppets.

Rebirth is slightly more serious, looks pretty, has several excellent water based sequences, and has some great dino kills that are interspaced nicely throughout the movie- much better than the perfectly safe ever growing casts of the last several Jurassic movies, or the nearly bloodless and suspenseless JP3.
But there's not a single puppet or animatronic. Scarjo is a terrible lead, throwing in some minor somber moments in between some quippy carefree happy go lucky plucky schtick that is abysmal and doesn't fit the film at all. The movie also has embarrassing operator/merc status, as none of these people do anything that feels particularly impressive. I'm not saying the movie has to have John Wick level stuntwork, but if half the cast is supposed to be highly trained military mercenaries that command 20 million dollar paychecks you'd think they be able to handle shooting a massive target faster or not having a scientist nerd be able to do literally all the same exact things that they do. There's barely a villain and what there is feels extremely forced.
The movie completely kills the actual Jurassic World, retconning the last three movies in its opening minutes. Why spend 3 movies establishing a new interesting potential setting and then immediately ditch it for "welp I guess it's just back to lone dinosaur islands"?
Apes a ton from the first JP film, especially in the second half. Also feels like a complete dead end for a film, it has nothing going on for expanding the world or sequel opportunities. Feels like a one off spin off of little consequence.


I'd say it's firmly in the middle for Jurassic films, with some very impressive elements but lots of disappointments too.

>>11468152
>Dominion has some of the best dino scenes ever put to film
Those being?

This might be the best wave of Hammond Collection figures. I wish the Stego had better articulation, the Spino and the Troodon had their claws painted properly, and that the Tiger stripe raptor didn't have the messed up jaw, but even with those minor complaints the wave is really solid.

>>11468152
genuinely terrible take

>>11468152
Dominion defenders are so goofy, man.
>muh animatronics
The dilo looked like shit and all of the scenes with the animatronic Giga were shit well at all completely negating how impressive the animatronic was. And if you you are talking about the glup shittos in cages in Malta I am actually going to laugh at you.

>>11468155
The entire Malta sequence- especially in the market, the plane crash ejection, and the therizino swamp crawl are excellent dino scenes.

Dimetrodons in the cave is also fun, if not that well directed.

>>11468178
Jurassic films are known for and remembered by their use of animatronic and puppetry dinos mixed in with digital. It makes revisiting even the pretty bad ones somewhat worthwhile. This new movie, regardless of whether or not people like it or not, has literally none. You don't see anyone rewatching marvel slop from 10 years ago because they like the CGI.

>>11468186
That's a very adult excuse to hide the fact that sometimes you just wanna see a dinosaur eat someone

>>11468190
Who is making excuses faggot? Why don't you go sit on a knife

>>11468194
You're way too mad at someone calling "Urhm actually you watch Jurassic films for the animatronics" retarded

>>11468186
no one rewatches Dominion. No one cares about the animatronics and puppets in it, just like no one rewatches Star Wars the Force Awakens even though it has puppets and animatronics.
>You don't see anyone rewatching marvel slop from 10 years ago because they like the CGI.
LMFAO, people rewatch Marvel slop from 10 years ago because it was still (mostly) fun and entertaining and plenty of people love to rewatch the shitty CGI slap fest that is the Civil War Airport scene because it was mostly well choreographed.

No people watch them to see dinosaurs

>>11468199
Well you should go into more detail about how it retcons the other three films and if you think it's just because they can't get any returning actors or something I don't know

>>11468156
Neat

I love the Stigy.
Not gonna say it's the best figure of the wave, but it's shockingly good.
>>11468203
I'm pretty impressed by how much Mattel has upped their game. I didn't get any of the Rebirth figures, but even they look surprisingly good.

>>11468202
It is exactly like how they said in the press releases about the films plot months ago. All dinosaurs are dying out because the world's atmosphere is too different. The films' second scene shows the last dinosaur in the entire USA about to die.

They spent 3 movies establishing "Jurassic world" which is at least a relatively unique setting for future films that we've never seen before - a modern environment where dinosaurs live side by side with people in interesting and potentially dangerous ways. The JW trilogy barely capitalized on this, taking two movies to get it there and then barely half of its third movie doing anything with it. And now this movie immediately cans it and switches things back to "oh actually there's just some dinosaurs on a few islands"

This movie ends with no where to go, nothing more for any surviving characters to do, and yet completely kills any chance of another film where dinosaurs are in any way integrated into society or military or the underworld. It feels like a one and done spinoff film where any future installment will have to start completely from scratch and the only plot will yet again be for the 8th time "dinosaurs on island"

>dogshit movies get retconned
as a Star Wars fan, I wish Disney was as generous to us as Universal is.

>>11468215
I get the trepidation with this. It feels a lot like when people started to get sick of superhero movies the first time around because every superhero movie was an origin story. It wasn't until we really got a bunch of movies into marvel that they started to make some more interesting stories that were pretty different. I was excited to have people with dinosaur pets and dinos in city sewers and shit but now it sounds like that's unlikely.

>>11468217
Please explain to me what's good about ditching the primary plot point that took 3 movies to get to? Look at it realistically. As long as Jurassic movies make money they will make more. Do you want another 8 movies of dinosaur on island shit where it's just rotating search and rescue/maguffin quests like almost all the other films? Or would you like to see the dinosaurs used for something, anything else, like we've seen in like 2 scenes in the entire franchise.

>>11468224
>xplain to me what's good about ditching the primary plot point that took 3 movies to get to?
That primary plot was retardedL
>Do you want another 8 movies of dinosaur on island shit where it's just rotating search and rescue/maguffin quests like almost all the other films?
Yeah, I don't mind a new dinosaur roller coaster movie every couple of years.
>Or would you like to see the dinosaurs used for something, anything else, like we've seen in like 2 scenes in the entire franchise.
No, I don't want to see dinosaurs being used in the military or as pets or whatever retarded shit.

Am I fucked if I didn't pre-order the Spinosaurus, Troodon, and Stegosaurus from Target? I feel like I can't find them for sale anywhere and BBTS never got them so I've got no clue how people get ahold of them.

>>11468247
They just came out, so I think you're okay. Maybe just keep checking your local Target and their online store. It may be worth checking other local Targets nearby. One of mine got the Troodon only, while the other one got the rest of them except the Troodon. Its weird.

>>11468247
You just have to check Target website. There's almost daily midnight restocks, they might go in/out of stock. Check them early in the morning, and I found that if you're persistent enough you can still get the figures. I saw Spinosaurus and Stego appear for shipping/pickup on/off over the last weeks (Denver area, I was also stalking the site for Switch 2). It might sound obsessive, but checking a website once a day is not really a big deal. I presume it would be the same elsewhere.

>>11454927
if you do, post pictures after you're done

>>11454927
TOTALLY WORTH IT BRO...its a gorgeous sculpt without a doubt. I thought spinonigga was gonna be the star, but I'm way more excited about this fucker.
Some bro on the HC reddit even added mouth articulation and it takes it to another level. Mattel, for all their flaws, really hit a home run with stego and spino. If painted properly, they look like maquettes.

Protp: Its a hard firgure to balance, but the key is getting the feet to their maximum forward position so that they can rest flat along the surface.

Jeez that T-Rex legs

>>11466603
Jurassic World has some good ones, any of the ones with foldable wings and 12 inch-ish wing spans are good. Come in a few different colour and pattern variations and are relatively cheap online. jmsr4

"Great!"

"Retarded!"

Dumbass lmao

From Mattel Creations website:

>Super fan wears “inflatable” T. rex costume and comes with
>two swappable heads
>mini Jurassic Park tote bag
>mini convention swag
>miniature version of this San Diego Comic-Con-inspired collectible

I like how meta it is.

>>11469123
Yes, if people insist ts needs to go on forever. Really should have just stopped after JW1; everything after is far too over-the-top, given how grounded this franchise started out.

How are the basic figs this time around?

Is the Hammond Troodon good? Im tempted to buy it even thoug its not from the movies- it has something; bought the stygi and im unsure about the TLW raptor.

>>11470337
It is a good figure by itself but it looks nothing like the thing it is based on. If you aren't bothered by that then go ahead

>>11469152
Is this based on something that I missed? Is it just a silly...thing they made? I feel like it's a joke that went over my head.

>>11470337
The Troodon is good. A little bit too bit... or a lot a bit too big, but it looks good and moves well. The LW Raptor is the weakest of this recent wave, but if you heat up the jaw you can fix the underbite.

>>11470935
Man, the Troodon is really good but i raelly wish it was smaller. They came up to about hip height in the game. Wouldn't have minded a 2 or 3 pack if they were smaller

>>11470925
>Is this based on something that I missed? Is it just a silly...thing they made? I feel like it's a joke that went over my head.

See my previous post, >>11465328 it's a figure of the T Rex inflatable costume people see at conventions.

Would you recommend the lab lockdown t-rex if I already have the Hammond Collection rex? I keep seeing people say its the best we've ever got but idk if I want to waste money/space on it.

>>11471923
Isn’t lab-lockdown a playline version? I don’t think you’ll be getting much articulation compared to the HC.

>>11469152
I recognize what they're doing here but the proportions on the rex suit are so endearing I wish it was just intended to be a seperate character entirely.

>>11471923
Its my favorite T-Rex they've done since literally pic related in 1993. By far. It's not necessarily essential if you have other T-Rex figures you love, and is a pretty basic toy all things considered, I just think the scuplt and model are fantastic and it looks really damn good.

>>11471923
I agree with this anon >>11475230 I really like the sculpt and design overall

Rebirth wad fun, the D. rex 100% could have just been a normal Tyrannosaurus though. It's basically just a normal animal. It doesnt even have a kaiju battle

Any UKanons know where to get a Spino other than amazon? It's £80 on there with the only other option being 100+ ones on Ebay

>>11468212
this is a 1/12 stiggy.

call me when mattel decides to stop being retards and actually makes the dinosaurs in scale.

This movie sucks, made me cancel my D Rex order
