Disney's Dinosaur edition

previous: >>11453207

The Lab lockdown Rex is great

>>11477100
That's the smaller version right? I want to get it, I love how good the sculpt looks. Great head and shape.

>>11477100
Best mainline Rex in a while.

>>11477153
Yes, no electronics, just the basic Rex but its great

Anyone else pick up the movie theater merch? I managed to snag all three exclusive popcorn buckets, some cool cups with dino toppers and a Tyrannosaurus tumbler. The footprint bucket is fuckin huge, legit 2.5 feet long.

>>11477239
Oh nice, I dig the footprint one, didn't see that before

>>11477239
Oh I want that Rex bucket.

I like dinosaurs

>>11477100
>>11477175
It's even better if you airbrush the head and tail, add the underbelly and paint the front claws!

>>11477225
I really like the fact there's no electronics. I don't like them and stick the plastic strip back in then clip it off to turn their roar off.

Customize your Lab Rexes! Paint them completely different colors?

>>11477239
They wanted $37 for the basic bitch tin popcorn bucket at my theater. They're insane.

Also, fuck this movie for spoiling the entire thing in the trailers, and fuck them for marketing the spinosaurs like they were going to be a huge part of the movie only for them to be in one single scene.

>>11477447
Yeah, the prices for the popcorn buckets are so stupid. I want that Jaws one so bad, but it's $40.

Anyway, the movie was ok but I agree that the marketing department butchered it. The trailers show absolutely every single set piece, there are no surprises whatsoever. I liked the characters though and it was a much more entertaining movie than Dominion and Fallen Kingdom overall. The tone wasn't the quippy MCU shit that bogged the previous two movies down and the dinosaurs felt like dangerous animals again rather than the raptors and T-Rex being the protectors of the protagonists.

>>11477463
I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen the trailer, because like you said, it spoils literally everything. Absolutely nothing left to be surprised by. If I walked in to the movie blind I would have lost my shit basedjaking out over the Rex/raft scene. Instead it was cool, but not super exciting, and by the time the credits rolled I had the feeling of "....really? that's it?".

Pretty sure the only things that weren't in the trailer were all of the talking scenes in the first 1/3 and the raptor scene. Even the literal end was spoiled by the trailers.

>>11477447
>They wanted $37 for the basic bitch tin popcorn bucket at my theater. They're insane.

They're supposed to be like $15.99... where the hell did you go?

>>11477447
>>11477463
I haven't seen it yet, but I didn't watch the trailers. Going in blind, is best imo.

>>11477470
100%, I agree. I wish I had never seen the trailers because I would have loved this movie a lot more without them. Whoever was in charge of the trailers should be fired.

>>11477239
I'm gonna get the Rex head when I go to see the movie a second time this weekend. unfortunately none of the cooler buckets are available at my cinemark.

>>11477253
kept waiting for their battle with the D. rex, and it never came. Part of me was happy their was no kaiju battle in the movie, but in a film with a literal kaiju, you'd kind of expect it to happen

>>11477519
I was waiting for something, anything to happen at the end. But it just kind of ends.

>>11477470
who ever did the marketing was fucking retarded. I really enjoyed the movie (7/10 third best Jurassic movie after JP and LW), but there were literally no surprises other than the death of the raptor.
>>11477521
I mean it ends the way JP1 ended. They escape the dinosaur and watch a flock (pod in this case) of animals. It has a very JP wrap up which I was fine with, but I just kind of expected the rex to fight the spinosaurs before that, like all the leaks said.

>>11477097 (OP)

>release all of these rendered action shots of the spino/d-rex/raptor
>make them focal point of the marketing campaign, everyone thinks they're going to be huge deals
>spinos are in it for 2 minutes maybe, and you never really even get clear views of them
>distortus is always in the shaodws
>raptor gets yeeted in 30 seconds


for the last 2 movies its been so blatant that they're just including new designs because the toys sell like crazy.

what the fuck bit ate the rest of the dunks body?

>>11477548
Mosasaurus, obviously

just got back
the D-rex changed from kaiju size to normal every other shot
literally all except 1 minute of it's screen time was in the trailers

>>11477097 (OP)
Nice, I remember having some of those hand puppets

>>11477447
That's double what I paid for the hex tin.

Why does Papo go so hard?

>>11477470
>Even the literal end was spoiled by the trailers.
Hollywood needs to stop this shit. I'm basically avoiding all trailers for the forseeable future because of dumbasses like these ruining entire films during teaser season.

>>11478166
Are they still putting out stuff? I was buying them hardcore up until probably 2023...then I fell off. The Therinozaurwahtever is pretty great. I forget when I got him.

Watched Rebirth. Definitely better than the last couple.

As expected with Edwards, the visuals and actual dinosaur sequences were great - my faves being the T-Rex and Spino parts. However it had lame characters and no plot.

Probably peak T-Rex design and the toy >>11477100 is as good. Might get myself a spino now.

>>11478805
>However it had lame characters and no plot.
So, pretty much what we've come to expect of JP these days?

>>11477651
Really? All that hype for nothing?

>>11478904
yep

>>11477651
>the D-rex changed from kaiju size to normal every other shot
Oh yeah, it suddenly becomes retardedly huge when it attacks the helicopter.

>>11478972
he did the same thing when he directed Godzilla
but it was so weird it took me out of the film when the helicopter was grabbed and chewed on, then it goes on to grab the human and the human looked almost the same size as a helicopter that had four people on board and was supposed to be able to rescue 8 people as well

>>11478809
No plot is somehow slightly better than a truly bad and stupid plot like Fallen Kingdom and Dominion. Rebirth needed more substance though. More character deaths, more surprises, and a more climactic ending to name the biggest things.

>>11477522
JP1 had the goated Trex vs Raptors fight and iconic roar.

In Rebirth there is no climax. The lethargic retard dino just gets bored and decides to go towards the shiny red light.

>>11477548
Are we sure its a decapitated head or is it just the current Dunkleosteus reconstruction with its short chode body.

>>11478978
>>11478972

damn this movie sounds lame. a mexican family had to teach the marines how to fight dinosaurs?

>>11479050
no they were just there to take up screen time

Just got back after picking up this big nig. Its bigger than it looked in pictures. Heavy too.

>>11479303
well it is almost a meter long
side note it is weird seeing the t-rex with a filled out frame, when compared to Rexy
it was one bulky mother fucker

>>11479050
There are no marines in this movie and nobody fights anything because nobody thought to bring any weapons along on this mercenary expedition to study dinosaurs.

>>11479405
The original T-Rex looks so bad in the Jurassic World movies. The CG model is way off from the JP1 model and animatronic.

>>11479003
I agree. I liked the back to basics approach but it just needed more depth. Edwards said in an interview that there was no time to make script changes or even reshoots so hopefully next time around they can have a better developed script. I liked Loomis and Zora enough to bring them back but they just need to do more with them.

>>11479050
>a mexican family had to teach the marines how to fight dinosaurs?

Not what happened, not sure where you got that info. The family is rescued by scarjo and her group before getting separated again and then meeting up at the end. Structurally the movie is basically JP III 2.0 - a group of people stuck on dino island have to get from point a to point b with several one-off dino set pieces in the middle. The actual set pieces are great its just the plot around it thats lacking.

>>11479411
They bring the neurotoxin guns that get stolen by the spino with the other supplies when that girl gets eaten.

Pros

>the main dinosaur sequences were all individually a lot of fun to watch (Spinosaurus attack and T-Rex raft scene in particular), probably the best since the OG films
>visuals and CGI looked great, especially with a budget smaller than Superman and FF which have that rubbery CG look; visually better than the other World movies
>making the dinosaurs real threats/scary again (audience I was with actually responded with worry when some of the dinosaurs showed up)
>making the dinosaurs act like real animals again
>no dino v dino end battle
>no clones, locust, etc...
>Dr. Loomis (probably the best human character, his early scenes feel like they belonged in the original films very easily and his reaction to seeing dinosaurs was nice)
>Mutadons were neat, best of the newer mutants I think

Cons

>weak skeleton of a plot, felt like a first draft made into a movie
>completely pointless family plot (I know the JP/W movies like to have a kid plot but it hasn't really felt necessary since the first film)
>D-Rex could have been used throughout, as a threat popping up every so often (like Spino in III) instead of right at the end
>Zora and the ship's captain felt underdeveloped, they tried to give them depth with that one convo scene but it felt sort of thrown in
>needed more than 10 seconds of raptors

My ranking (Rebirth had better visuals and action than World but World felt like it had a better developed script):

JP > III > Lost World > World = Rebirth > Fallen Kingdom >>> Dominion

Guess it did it's job tho since I bought some of the toys for the first time since the original films.

>>11479422
There was only one of those and the guy who had it dies first after missing every single shot lmao

>>11479434
i thought he hit one spino

>>11479439
I guess I'd have to watch it again but I recall every single shot missing. And I don't recall seeing any of the Spino's die.

>>11477100
>>11479018
>those feet

Thank god we’re slowly moving away from clown-foot syndrome.

>>11478658
Their new Suchomimus is fucking awesome. It almost looks like a PNSO figure

>>11477626
but the mosa isn't supposed be near that island,
>>11479008
you could see it's insides very briefly.

>>11479050
that's not what happened at all, fuck off with your forced culture war shit.

>>11477463
>>11477470
>>11477483
>>11477522
>>11478185

Fuck your niggers for spoiling the movie.

>movie has mayan ruins
>movie has a "Quetzalcoatlus"
>movie has latino actors
>movie is set in the carribean
WTF??? Why not place the movie in Mexico, make a political joke about alligator alcatraz and kill two pterosaurs with one stone? Fucks sake missed opportunity.

>>11480221
Its not even the Caribbean, its the Atlantic off the coast of South America. No clue what they were thinking with the location or those ruins.

>>11480221
>Fuck your niggers for spoiling the movie.
You need to calm down mate, I called out the bullshit hollywood does, not made comment on what happened in the film

>>11480221
There was nothing to spoil that the trailers didn't already show.

>>11479808
>but the mosa isn't supposed be near that island
Who knows, maybe it has a large hunting area (it was on a beach in Dominion), or maybe it ate the big fish and its head drifted to wherever the fish boat was. We really dont know how far out in sea that fish boat was anyway.

Scarlett does toy asmr

>>11480221
I just don't read posts that look like they're going to have spoilers. Also didn't watch the trailers. Proceed with caution when the movie is out and you haven't seen it yet. People will talk about it now that it's out.

>>11479432
Its slightly better than having to sit through Owen shit for three movies and thats the best praise I could give it. I'm shocked how hard they dropped the ball, I was at least expecting something breezy and fun like III.
>Guess it did it's job tho since I bought some of the toys for the first time since the original films.
If this gets one of the chinese companies to make a quetzalcoatlus, that's all I need.

>>11480661
Nice

Speaking of dinosaur movies, I watched '65' with Adam Driver last night. Movie sucked but had some interesting designs I guess for the dinosaurs and other primitive creatures. Could have been a great dino action movie but alas it was ass.

Man people really love dinosaurs. I hope Edwards stays on as the director for the next one but they just give hime a better script. He made some of the best dinosaur sequences in the franchise.

>>11480914
>He made some of the best dinosaur sequences in the franchise.
How much input did he actually have, though? We know the film was well into pre-production when he came onboard and work on VFX starts pretty early nowadays. It could be that he only really directed the people scenes.
Then again, the boat and raft chase sequences definitely don't feel like the typical soulless Marvel style. They do come off as having been actually "directed" by someone.

>>11480661
>asmr
this is still a thing?

>>11480901
With the sort of money HTTYD, the Monsterverse, and JP/JW rake in I really expected to be neck deep in a sea of creature features by now. I dont get how or why things havent come to that point yet. Creature features sell toys, tickets, and get asses in seats. For whatever reason the dinomania especially has been restricted to internet projects. Very odd.

>>11479817
you people started it

>>11480914
As long as there are little boys, there will be an audience for dinos. My deeply autistic little cousin loves em to bits, though his favorite prehistoric creature is megalodon.

>>11480940
Edwards does a good job of making things feel like they actually exist in the space, knowing how to frame them and how to direct the effects companies to make things feel like they have weight (like his Godzilla movie). Compare Rebirth's action sequences to something like Superman and F4 which seem very rubbery in comparison. Even compared to some of the previous JW movies the dinosaurs in this are shot and framed better. So I think Edwards absolutely played a role in developing those sequences and how they are shot and look.

>>11481245
If only he could actually keep things consistently scaled instead of this
>>11479018

>>11481285
It just means there's two D-Rexes, a mama and a baby.

Just got out of seeing Rebirth for the second time and I just realized it's a King Kong movie.

>>11480661
>those nails raking against the thin hollow hull of the mosa
I cringed actually

>>11477097 (OP)

>>11477523
It's a dead piece of media, but I wish Disney would remake Dinosaur. It's one of the only things that Disney's crappy live action CG would be appropriate for, and we could get merch out of it. I at least wish Mattel would try to license it so we could get high quality remakes of the Carno from it.

>>11479303

After messing around with it quite a bit I think its pretty good overall. The feet are a bit chonky but they kind of have to be so it solidly supports the weight. it could do with more articulation in the little arms, I'm thinking about adding a bunch of extra ball joints to the fingers & wrists. the swivel joint at the tail is kind of pointless too, the cut angle looks terrible from any angle you move it. Would've been much better if the end of the tail was rubber with wire inside for bendyness.

>>11481568

The size/presence is impressive. Its a beefy sculpt. Paint is ok, cant really expect more from a mass release toy. I'm probably going to paint over it with airbrush & detail the mouth properly. could possibly add some silicone tendons that stretch to the insides of the mouth too but not sure if i'll go that crazy yet or not.

>>11477097 (OP)
>Movie uses Carnotauruses as the main villain dinosaurs (Not counting the douchebag Iguanadon).
>Real life Carnos were tiny-armed dinolets whou would get easily destroyed by the dinosaur herd in the movie if they ever tried that shit.

>>11481580
Don't care, about how inaccurate it is, love evil villain Dinos.

>>11477097 (OP)
surprised nobody has made the joke about blowjobs here. that's nice.

>>11481631

Watched We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story today. Fun film, would definitely recommend. I wonder if there were any toys released at the time?

>>11481631
I mean...I did have a huge crush on Neera and Aladar. Woof.

I haven't seen the movie, but any dinobowl? Did TRex, Spino, or DRex fight each other?

>>11481766
no fights

>>11481766
also the drex is like twice the size of them even when not in kaiju mode

>>11481767
Good, JP3 Trex vs. Spino has poisoned generations.
>>11481768
They change size now?

>>11481770
no the director is shit at keeping his scale of the animals consistent see >>11479018

>>11477100
>>11481568
>>11481575
What's with the grey Rex? The Rex in the movie ended up being yellow-ish with black stripes

>>11481784
>All other movie rexes look grey but are made to be tan
>This movie rex looks tan but made to be grey

It's like pottery, it chimes

What I don't understand is why they didn't tie the mutant dinos into the plot. Maybe it's the mutants that they need blood from for whatever reason. As it is it feels like the dinos being mutants doesn't serve any purpose except to make them look different.

>>11481826
Honestly I expected Krebs to reveal that he had a secret secondary objective to get mutant DNA from the lab and he didn't tell anyone about the mutants because he knew nobody would sign up if they knew there were flying raptors and a fucking rancor hanging around.

>>11480914
I’m aware of how bad the ‘modern’ movies are in comparison to the OH but I really fucking love dinos, me and my dad always go to see these. Monkey brain love to see dinosaur.

>>11481522
I guarantee you the remake would be shit. But i would very much enjoy the toys

So is Hammond Collection done with humans? I was hoping to at least get a Roland

Just saw Rebirth.

Pros:
The dinosaurs look good. Loved the Titanosaurus and Quetz.
The Tyrannosaurus raft chase was okay. Muh novel scene, was fine but it was kinda slow paced desu.
I liked the three main leads. Ruben was okay, I hated his kids and the boyfriend with a passion and wanted them to end up dino chow.
The Aquilops was cute but felt kinda forced.
The locations were really cool, I liked the Mayan temple cliff stuff, and the Ingen facility was actually really cool looking, cinematography was nicely done.
The vehicle Krebs used was cool and I wish it had been utilized in the movie more in a serious way.

Cons:
Of course, the bad guy is White and has a German name no doubt. It's so fucking tiresome.
The stupid spic kids
The movie feels kind of all over the place because of the constant switch back from the main cast and the stupid family.
"Would you like the classic JP theme with your quick fly over montage? Perhaps with your Titanosaurus herd?"
Stop with the hybrid / mutant dinos. Just fucking stop... the one thing Dominion did right.
The cool truck Krebs used is a joke with the alarm going off and the voice over.

Also want to point out how stupid it was that a fucking snickers wrapper is what caused a lab leak of the mutants and the complete destruction of the facility.

I'd give it a 6/10 maybe a 7 if I watch it again and get used to it. It's nowhere as good as the first two though. Nothing will be.

>>11481979
nobody asked

Honestly I liked Dominion more than Rebirth. Like Dominion is completely stupid but it's a guilty pleasure the same way the live action Super Mario Bros movie is, I know it's a bad movie but I like it anyway, but it's so memorably stupid that I can't hate it.

Rebirth is a more competently made movie but that also makes it boring by comparison. It's the safest Jurassic movie we've ever gotten.

>>11481979
So about what I expected
Not surprised

>>11481979
>Of course, the bad guy is White and has a German name no doubt. It's so fucking tiresome.
genuinely deranged levels of culture war brain. A movie with essentially no politics other than "big pharma kinda sucks" and you have to go out of your way to find something to whine about. Krebs isn't even that bad of a guy, He's honestly less evil than Peter was in the second movie, he wasn't even going to take the helicopter for himself and leave everybody behind.

>>11482057
To be fair he was going to take the boat for himself and that's why they had to race to get there before he did

>>11482059
I mean by that point he was running away from the Mutodons and had no idea where anyone other than Zora was. But yeah, he was a self interested coward.

I liked that "cowardice" was his defining evil trait. The villains in World and Fallen Kingdom (never saw Dominion) were so over the top and goofy evil that they were absurd. I still can't get over how dumb D'onofrio's villain was. Krebs was afraid of failing to acquire the samples, afraid of going to jail, and afraid of dying.

>>11482059
I don't know how Kreb even knew about the boat, since not-yet-Blade and the scientist guy only found out about it after they were separated.

>>11482071
Kreb had full knowledge of the village didn't he?

>>11481979
>>11482053
I probably won't even bother to see it. From the trailers, it actually looks more like they tried to ditch the "Jurassic World" formula, and they were attempting to do a mashup of Lost World and JPIII.

>>11482053
This guy gets it. Dominion for all its flaws is a pretty bold film with a unique plot that is both new and yet in the spirit of chrichtons work, is the only movie to actually have some of the "Jurassic world" and sets the stage for more, and has some solid dino action scenes, has tons of dino animatronics and puppetry.. the script is retarded, it doesn't kill anyone and it has a lot of issues, but it's at least not a complete rehash that's just a safe greatest hits of Jurassic and other Spielberg films like rebirth.

I would much rather have more future Jurassic films trying new stuff and taking risks than yet another dinosaurs on an island thing.. again.

>>11482053
>>11482085
Insane yo think that there are Dominion fans

>Fallen Kingdom: Well yeah we've got dinosaurs loose now, also a bunch on the black market, you can't go back to just having them on a confined island now
>Dominion: Yeah they're all out there but let's not focus on that and just have them all in a confined valley which is basically an island without water
>Rebirth: Oh uhhhhh yeah we don't want to deal with dinosaurs being loose so we're just gonna say they all died but there's some in the tropics, anyway here's another dinosaur island with yet another secret InGen facility

>>11482041
spic hands typed this

You could seriously take Rebirth's script and give it to Syfy so they can film it as Mutant Dino Island as their movie of the week and you'd never know

>>11482057
>Krebs isn't even that bad of a guy, He's honestly less evil than Peter was in the second movie, he wasn't even going to take the helicopter for himself and leave everybody behind.

I didn't think he was a bad guy either, which is why I hated the stupid girl so much, but he's clearly made to be the villain of the movie.

>A movie with essentially no politics
Every movie has politics anon, this is hollywood, the most suttle bullshit is carefully calculated by writers and producers.

>>11482082
>I probably won't even bother to see it.
It's basically more of the same with a new cast of characters. It wasn't great or terrible, just okay.

>>11482085
I never understood the hate for it compared to the retarded shit in Fallen Kingdom but whatever.

Just saw Rebirth today. Overheard a guy walking out near me say to his friend "that one wasn't very good" and I can't disagree. Honestly might've enjoyed Dominion more, as bad as that movie was.

So many problems with Rebirth. Why does the InGen lab look exactly like a BioSyn lab from Dominion? Since it was InGen, why did the movie need a new island when they could've just put it on Isla Sorna? How the hell does it cost InGen $72 million to make a new dinosaur species? Why are the Spinos hunting in the middle of the open ocean 30 miles from land? Why did the D. Rex grow five sizes larger and take down a chopper?

At least we got some neat toys out of the film but man, I am not looking forward to the inevitable sequel.

>>11482125
>I am not looking forward to the inevitable sequel.
I don't doubt they'll do it but what even is there to do anymore? This one already struggled to come up with a premise. It feels like we're back in post-JP3 territory where nobody could come up with a viable idea of where to take the story and that just led to "let's do the park again, but this time it's open"

>>11482125
Was InGen even still around at the time the prologue is supposed to take place? I thought they'd already been absorbed by Masrani by then.

>>11482134
The prologue is 2008, when Crystal Skull came out... really makes ya feel old.

Anyone know if this is a complete list of Dinos in the movie or am I missing anything?

Apatosaurus (for ten seconds)
Mosasaurus
Spinosaurus
Titanosaurus
Quetzalcoatlus
Tyrannosaurus
Aquilops
Velociraptor (for ten seconds)
Ankylosaurus (for two seconds)
Mutodon
Distortus

>>11482162
Agnuronathus (for a few seconds)
Dunkleosteus (just the head)
Megalodon (just the jaws)
juvenile Pteranodon (for a few seconds)
unnamed temnospondyl
Compsognathus
dead Parasaurolophus
Dilophosaurus (for like 10 seconds before the Rex frightens it away)

>>11482165
Just remembered the Compys, with that red color. Nice forgot about the little Pteranodon in the cage and the Dilo.


Agnuronathus (for a few seconds)
Dunkleosteus (just the head)
unnamed temnospondyl

What were these three? Was it that snake creature in the water?

>>11482168
The Dunkleosteus head was dumped out of a fishing net on a dock with the rest of the catch outside the bar where they meet Mahershala Ali's character.

>>11482168
>Agnuronathus (for a few seconds)
tiny little bird-like dudes, easily mistaken for actual birds
>Dunkleosteus (just the head)
the giant fish-looking looking head with giant bony teeth that they pulled out of the water
>unnamed temnospondyl
the fat salamander looking thing that would sometimes be spotted in the jungle

>>11482168
Every time you see a '''bat'' it's an anurognathus but we see one fully when Duncan finds the stairs during the Quetz scene.
the Dunk head is explained by this anon >>11482171
the unnamed temnospondyl is in two scenes, one when the family is preparing to sleep at night fall on the first night (it's just chilling on a rock) and again in a tree when the family is on the raft after escaping the Tyrannosaurus again in the evening.
the eel/snake thing in the water really has nothing to identify it and so I didn't bother including it.

>Redeems himself by finding way to kill off giant locusts that are threatening the global agriculture
>Was actually responsible for the giant locusts to begin with so his boss could corner the market on agriculture
>Worked with a military contractor to secretly make his park's newest attraction an unstoppable living weapon
>Continued finding new ways to modify said weapon into sleeker models
>Knows about and/or participated in various other hybrid creation programs across various undisclosed locations
>Will probably die peacefully of old age while the rest of the world still keeps finding more of his secret labs and secret Frankendinos
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

I wonder if the Carno and Diabloceratops scenes were far enough along that we'll see them in the Directors cut or if they got cut way earlier into filming and they never bothered to make the models.

>>11482175
I thought it was a baby Dimorphodon lol

>>11482222
>>11482234
I'm pretty sure it was meant to illustrate that normal people don't give a shit about dinosaurs anymore and mostly find them anoying.

>>11482134
It was mentioned that the island was developing hybrids, so it probably was Masrani-owned InGen, where they started experimenting on hybrids before the I-Rex.

>M.A.S.K. is finally getting reissued after 40 years off of shelves

It's not fair. Dino Riders and MASK were both IPs I discovered through cartoon reruns as a child but the toy lines were long gone by the time I ever saw them. I'd love to see either more detailed and articulated reissues of the classic designs or slightly updated and modernized interpretations that carry the spirit of the originals and their cartoon designs. As long as they don't add feathers.

>>11482319
>reissues
they're new tooling

>>11481979
>Stop with the hybrid / mutant dinos.
The Mutadons were fucking rad. And the D Rex had potential, but it didnt do anything until act 3, which wasted its potential. I agree with all your other points though.

>>11481979
>stop doing mutant dinosaurs

a chaos effect movie or cartoon would have you all jizzing

>>11482438
>a chaos effect movie or cartoon would have you all jizzing
This. The Mutadon was basically a realistic take on the velocirapteryx. They should have gone all in and made the d rex an Ultimasaurus though.

>>11482438
>>11482441
If Hollywood's mutant dinosaurs were a fraction as cool as Kenner's mutant dino's 27 years ago, people wouldn't complain about them as much.

DRex is binning in my local Walmart. Meanwhile they had full crate of the $50 Colossal Grey Rex and it is dwindling by the day (only 3-4 left out of whole crate from 2 weeks ago). Lab lockdown Trex and Quetzalcoatlus are also gone. Somehow even the kids and normies can tell between real dinos and fictional kaiju mutants. Dinos are cool and will be cool forever, which is weird because the premise of Rebirth and World were "dinos not cool anymore"

>>11482592
T. Rex always sells. Probably helps the colossal dropped in price by $25 too.

>>11481142
JP/JW made movie execs at other studios gunshy about greenlighting dinosaur movies to avoid Billy and the Cloneasaurus accusations.

This is pretty lit

>>11477097 (OP)
I fucking hate that there is an articulated 1/18 scale version of the Carnotaurus from that movie but it was made by a known scammer

>>11482336
Reissue is the wrong term then, but in any case they look faithful to the originals while having more detail. I'd like to see something similar to that with Dino Riders.

>>11479008
Is there any new more accurate information about a dinosaur that disproves something we thought was true for years that people actually like and don't get mad about

>>11482737
Yeah, they keep finding bigger and bigger T. rex individuals, it's pretty cool. Look up Goliath.

>>11482979
Nice scene of someone somehow getting sent back in time and it's the middle of the night and he doesn't have anything but his camera so he takes a picture with the flash on in a direction where he hears noise

>>11482767
Finally some good fucking news

>>11482979
What's the smaller Dino?

>>11482626
heh, that's actually kinda neat.

>>11482427
My problem with the mutants is what was even the fucking point of them aside from being trailer fodder. The Mutadons use their flight in only one scene and barely ever again. During the fight at the convenience store you could replace them with Raptors and nothing would change (which makes sense since that scene was ripped off from the kitchen scene in JP1 anyway).

Same with the D-Rex. Aside from maybe taking down the chopper you could replace it with a T-Rex and the movie climax wouldn't change (it even chases flares like the T-Rex did!). At least the I-Rex from World had its own gimmicks that set it apart (camouflage and raptor-level intelligence in the size of a T-Rex).

>>11482626
>not making the quac his poop

>>11482592
I can actually understand World's premise of "park attendance is down now that the novelty has worn off a bit" more than Rebirth's premise of "everyone just stopped caring about them completely and also life didn't find a way"

>>11483053
Yeah as weak as JW was they actually built it around the Indominus, and the fact that it was genetically modified was a huge part of why it was such a menace and nobody could do shit about it. The D-Rex has nothing going for it beyond being weird looking. The only thing that puts it above the Giga (which while not a mutant was supposed to be Dominion's new big bad and was deliberately designed to look "scary" compared to what a real life giga is supposed to be) is that the D-Rex at least kills someone.

>>11483053
My least favorite thing about the JW hybrids is how they are meant to be super smart with borderline human intellect but in action scenes they act like any other dinosaur slamming into walls and shit

>>11483010

What’s the chance HC Rexy gets a reissue or update that isn’t Rebirth Rex? Will Carno likely get a reissue?

>>11483107
I like that the flash made the eyes of the Rex and carnotaurus glow like real-life animals caught in trail cameras. Gives them a creepier look.

>>11483200
HC Rexy already got one reissue, not sure they'll do a second. I don't think any of the others have gotten reissues, at least not outside of stuff like the dilo being in the SDCC Spielberg set.

The mutants are a bit bland, even the D-Rex which at first I thought was a T-Rex with a vestigial conjoined twin, but just looks like a 'Rancor but not a Rancor' boss from a Star Wars game. They should've had them be the failed projects, malformed, asymmetrical, obviously messed up in their gestation.

Technically speaking, what are the chances of Mattel doing Chaos Effect stuff including a fully-released Ultimasaurus?
Or does Hasbro own all toy OCs?

Literally one of the few times being accurate woulda made them MORE money.

>>11483386
For some reason I initially thought that the D-Rex can read minds or do psychic stuff lol (because of his enlarged cranium).

>>11483089
>they are meant to be super smart with borderline human intellect but in action scenes they act like any other dinosaur
To be fair, only the Indominus and Indo Raptor were said to have raptor level intelligence (which isnt human level). And both of those creatures manage to trick humans a few times. The D Rex was clearly as dumb as a TRex (because it was just a modified Rex anyway) and the Mutadons were never implied to be as smart as raptors. I guess the Pterasaur DNA made them dumber than a standard Raptor.

Do they keep making mutants just so they can have a design they "own" or is that not an issue

>>11484054
It doesn't stop a bunch of chinese companies like Nanmu to make knock off figures of them

>>11484054
No, it's because Spielberg has been obsessed with the idea for decades and has been pushing it on the franchise.

>Scarjo shoots a mutadon dead
Was this the first time in the series that having a gun actually helped someone?

>>11477097 (OP)
could you imagine jacking off with one of these dinosaur gloves?

>>11484217
oh honey I don't have to imagine

Other than the Lab Lockdown Rex I don't think I'm even getting anything from this movie line. I thought the D-Rex looked kind of neat when I first saw it on store a few weeks ago but I figured I'd wait for a Hammond Collection one eventually. Less than a week later and I can't remember half the damn movie and I don't feel the need to get a D-Rex anymore.

How would you guys write a scenario for a human/dino movie that sufficiently nerf the humans and make it fun? Seems like they have tried everything
- Civilians trapped in a malfunctioning zoo (JP1, JW)
- Civilians and professional go into island to obtain McGuffins (JP2, JP3, Rebirth)

And whatever Dominion and Fallen Kingdom setting were

>>11484321
Quetzacoatlus is pretty good if you are into flying reptile. It is also an iconic late Cretaceous North America creature that lived alongside TRex, Trike, Ankylo, etc.

>>11484341
I feel like expanding on the dino black market would've been good, like Dominion's plot should've been the Malta stuff instead of the dumb locust shit
Honestly any scenario where the heroes are trying to save/help the dinos but since the dinos don't know or understand what's happening and still act on instinct that puts the heroes in a position where they have to protect themselves but also their mission involves not harming the dinos that keep trying to eat them

>>11484054
Every single dinosaur in the franchise is a mutant though. They go out of their way to explain this in the first Jurassic World. The books even state this and show examples of it like how the Carnotaur has chameleon abilities and the compy's have snake (or jellyfish, i forget) venom. It's just a matter of how far the scientists are willing to go with the unfamiliar mutations. On an unrelated note, as a normalfag, I thought Mutadons were an actual dinosaur species until I came to this thread. So I'd imagine shit like the indominus rex would have been pretty dull to see as a park visitor in their universe. But a crazy looking t rex with 6 appendages like the D rex would have been pretty interesting

>>11484491
>Every single dinosaur in the franchise is a mutant though

>>11484321
>I thought the D-Rex looked kind of neat when I first saw it on store a few weeks ago but I figured I'd wait for a Hammond Collection one eventually.
Anon, we're not getting Hammond collection mutants. We dont even have a Hammond collection Indominus and he was the star of his own movie and had a ton of screen time and actual character. As much as I'd love to see it, we're probably not going to get an I-Rex, indoraptor, mutadon, or D-Rex inthat line

>>11484493
>why does everyone resort to saying this, to defend these shitty ass films?
Because it's literally a talking point characters make in damn near every film/book in the franchise.

>>11484498
enjoy your crickets and lobotomised babies then

>>11484195
Multiple dinosaurs have been shot, and some shot and killed before, but this is the first time a main character shot and killed a dinosaur on screen.
All in JW:
-merc kills flyer dino
-merc bazookas raptor
-owen uses rifle against indominus in the final battle, shooting it a bunch of times- it's a powerful gun too so you can say he helped in both weakening it down and distracting it.

I don't really remember fallen kingdom and I'm never watching that shit again but the first section on the island goes off pretty much without a hitch so all those soldiers with guns did ok too.

>>11484341
I would not have retconned the actual Jurassic world established in Dominion because that is a new, endless setting for story possibilities. Not everything needs to be dinos on an island. Only the underground market and brief scenes really touch on things you can do with dinosaurs fully in the world setting. The fact that Koepp is on record stating he didn't have any ideas for what to do with a "dinosaur world" is fucking wild. This is a rich hollywood screenwriter who broke off any possibility of using that setting just because he has no imagination outside of the shit he has already written 30 years ago.

You can do literally anything from starting more grounded:
- dinosaur as trusted farm animals (instead of just the negative depiction in Dominion)
- dinosaurs in military/law enforcement
- small dinosaur pets
- dinosaurs in both first and third world settings

In terms of a specific plotline for people getting eaten you could do something with a dinosaur rabies thats spreading, causing animals that usually stay away from humans/are well trained by humans to become violent and rampage

To going way more crazy with it:
- get crazed scientists experimenting with mutants and underworld bad guys becoming central players with killer dinosaurs they control like they were toying with in the world movies
- go futuristic, with all the cloning and other advancements in technology it shouldn't just stay "our world but dinosaurs" get into cloned bad guys and futuristic cities, get a cloning base on the moon, have some fucking fun with it.
- eventually go post apocalyptic mad max /planet of the apes/xenozoic tales with dinosaurs retaking the world completely

My point is there's literally countless things you can do beyond "dinosaurs in an isolated island" and the fact that we're 7 movies deep and that's all they want to do is insane.

>>11484522
>My point is there's literally countless things you can do beyond "dinosaurs in an isolated island
Like what? The second one brought a T. rex to the city and that didn't last long.

>>11484494
The original movie was distinct for not being a "just turn your brain off" summer popcorn movie. This is why people are disappointed that the franchise just keeps going into "just turn your brain off" territory.

>>11482319
>I'd love to see either more detailed and articulated reissues of the classic designs or slightly updated and modernized interpretations

How many times can you say "playing God is bad" though? Should have never been a franchise in the first place but gotta sell mech right?

does anyone here have the new Titanosaurus? How is it?

I think the problem is that Jurassic Park has stereotyped itself into a corner that the audience isn't even enjoying anymore. They're all chasing the dragon of the joy and wonder they felt watching the first movie, but the films keep relying more and more on sci-fi and action movie gimmicks rather than being a fun adventure where we can enjoy seeing very believable dinosaurs and some very beautiful vistas like we did the first time around. This problem goes all the way back to the the abandoned first draft for Jurassic Park 4 where they wanted to do an action horror flick with dinosaur human hybrid abominations. The studio keeps pushing for more sci-fi and more horror, but that's not what the audience wants.

There are multiple franchises that blend sci-fi, action and suspense with dinosaurs that are better suited to the kind of franchise that Universal wants Jurassic Park to be but they own Jurassic Park which is why none of those are going to happen. In the 90s we had Dino Riders, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, and Turok the Dinosaur Hunter, all of which would work fine as movie and merchandise IPs, but Jurassic Park has become the perennial dinosaur franchise to such a degree that there's no point in doing more dinosaur movies or toylines, at least as far as Universal and their licensees are concerned.

Thank you for this, I very much agree.
The funny thing is, Universal not only owns the film rights of Turok, but also Primeval, but refuse to do anything with them since they much prefer doing Jaws-Sequel-Esque BS with Jurassic.

>>11484879
They own Turok?

Who owns Dino Crisis? That might make a neat movie.

>>11484889
Looking at things to back up >>11484873's claim, Classic Media did an animated Turok movie around 2008 and that's now a subsidiary of Dreamworks which is owned by Universal.

>>11484890
>Who owns Dino Crisis?
Think it's Capcom.

>>11484826
I bought that hyper articulated Indoraptor figure a few years ago and I use him as a GI Joe Classified scale raptor. He can stand up with a GI Joe or Cobra figure riding on his back which is cool.

>>11484879
I'm surprised Universal hasn't tried to do a shared Dinosaur universe with all the dinosaur IPs they own.

>>11484890
I think that might also be Universal.

>>11484522
>because that is a new, endless setting for story possibilities.
No it wasnt. Dinosaurs on the mainland in the modern day doesnt work because we have guns and governments. No theropod larger than a raptor would be allowed to live. Even in the 3rd world they'd be hunted to extinction by poachers.Dominion destroyed every possibility of something new and interesting by havinh an ovet the top happy ending. Rebirth does more to set up the possibility of a post-apocalyptic movie with Loomis' monologue to Kreps than Dominion, and making the setting post-apocalyptic is the only remotely intersting idea out of all of your very bad ideas. Cant fathom why you would even suggest dinosaurs in the military when we already had 2 movies that featured that terrible premise already.

>>11485070
What would you even do with dinosaurs in the military a robot couldn't do better

>>11483408
I think he'll make money just fine.

>>11485074
Robots need fuel and maintenance.

>>11484897
Oh yuck nevermind

I wish the JW Allosaurus didnt look so bad, I'd love to have a sizable pack of them

>>11485099
Yeah
Like a living creature

>>11485115
Yeh, but a dinosaur would most likely be able to care for itself.

>>11485120
At the expensive of limited places you could deploy it, not being able to control it as well, having to have a dedicated space for it during transportation, and it being incredibly less bullet resistant, sure, it could waste time eating someone after killing them

>>11485129
>limited deployment locations
You send out the dinosaurs best suited for the environment. A robot might bog down in the jungle, mountains or swamp. You don’t need global deployment if your goal is to create fear. A single T. rex in a war zone would psychologically destabilize enemy troops. Dinosaurs don’t rely on comms, GPS, or electronic systems, making them perfect for electronic warfare or EMP dense battlefields.

>control limitations
You’re not trying to joystick a dinosaur like a drone. With proper conditioning, training, and bio augmentation (implants, pheromones, etc.), they can respond to basic commands, similar to military dogs or horses historically. Their lack of strict control makes them harder for enemies to counter. An enemy can’t hack or jam a dinosaur and they can’t anticipate it's choices like they can with a programmed machine. Once unleashed in the right scenario control is a secondary concern, just point and let nature do it's work.

>dedicated space
Dinosaurs can move themselves once out of containment. You don’t need fuel, tools, parts or mechanical repair. No convoy is needed beyond food and rest stops. And with biotech and regenerative medicine healing is more sustainable long term than fixing metal. Even just being seen being transported, with sirens, chains, and roars, becomes a psychological deterrent to opposition.

>less bullet resistant
A lot of species like ankylosaurs and pachycephalosaurs have thick natural armor that can be tough to penetrate, especially with muscle mass and bone density. Velociraptors or smaller carnivores could use speed and stealth instead of tankiness. The psychological fear they cause can scatter troops before serious firepower is needed. In packs (like trained raptors) you don't need each individual to be bulletproof, just overwhelming. A few might go down but the rest complete the mission.

>>11485133
Unlike machines a wounded dinosaur could recover over time, even in the field, depending on the wound. A busted robot is just scrap.

>wasting time eating someone
Eating enemies means less cleanup, less evidence and less risk of bodies being recovered for propaganda or analysis. Seeing a comrade not just killed but eaten alive would be beyond demoralizing. Robots need power. Dinosaurs will just eat your enemy and keep going.

>>11484873
>>11484910
I’m surprised a ‘live-action’ (READ: CGI in mostly real world locations) remake of the original Land Before Time hasn’t happened by now. The original Don Bluth film literally is what made Disney have to step up its game in animation that eventually led to the 2D animation renaissance millenials grew up consuming. Aside from the anachronistic species all coexisting and the fact that we now know what wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs, a realistic CGI film could still be done. If they wanted to give it more scientific accuracy then they could change out the species a little. Spike could be a Cretaceous ankylosaur species of some sort that has armor spikes rather than stegosaur thagomizers. Petri could be an azhdarchid pterosaur instead of a generic Pterodactyl. Cera would just need two brow-horns to literally be a ‘three-horn’. Ducky would need to be a facultative biped in her posture and build, but otherwise wouldn’t need to change much. And Littlefoot could be a titanosaurid instead of an apatosaurus.

I think a ‘Dinoverse’ consisting of the Jurassic franchise and other Universal properties could potentially work if done right. A Turok movie being a spin-off of the JW universe would be easy to explain.

>>11485070

>Unlimited story possibilities? Bad!
>Stick them only on an island.. again! Good!

That's you. Just because you can't imagine scenarios doesn't mean they don't exist. All my ideas are bad? That's fine, I'm not a flimmaker. I'll tell you what's definitely bad, remaking the same movie for the 7th time.

>>11485151
Ideally, they just stopped making them at that point, but motherfuckas love to iceskste uphill these days.

>>11485133
genuinly astonishing how dumb you are. A fucking FPV drone and a robot dog accomplish most of these things and are far more easily replicated and spammed out. There are no senarios where in a dinosaur is a better tool than a drone or a normal guy with a gun. Putting guns and lasers on dinosaurs is cool and fun for a toy line, but incomprehensibly stupid to use as an actual plot point in a movie. Again, this is demonstrated by the 2 times they already tried it.
>>11485151
they aren't unlimited. They are in fact very limited. Outside of a post-apocolypse story like the Rise of the Planet of the Apes trilogy, your options are
1. Isolated people either crashing or being stranded in a location with dinosaurs, which is functionally no different from having it be on an island.
2. People relocating dinosaurs from population dense areas to wild life refuges and something going wrong which is again functionally a return to an island situation even if the refuge is in the middle of the Amazon or the DRC and not an actual island.

A post-apocolyptic setting is the only situation in which dinosaurs as anything other than a nuisance to people on the mainland makes and I already said that. I'm not advocating for going back to the island, but it's the only option without ending the world which the JW trilogy was too afraid to do.

IT'S A FUCKING FICTIONAL MOVIE ABOUT CLONED DINOSAURS WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT REALISM. REALISM SHIT IS WHY WE'VE HAD CINEMA SLOP INSTEAD OF COOL MOVIED FOR YEARS. PEOPLE RIDING DINOSAURS INTO BATTLE WHILE FIRING GUNS IS FUCKING COOL. People are so obsessed with muh realism and muh practicality, that they forget that cool shit sells. Fast and the Furious jumped the Shark (or the skyscraper even) and still makes billions because people wanna see cool shit.

>>11485327
you're replying to at least 2 people who think you're dumb.
>whining about "realism"
JP has always been series about verisamilitude. Even if the technology for cloning dinosaurs isn't realistic, the rest of the world has always operated in a logical and familiary way. Having something that opperates in a different sort of rule of cool world like Primal is fine in Primal's setting wher Dinosaurs and cavemen coexist with evil slaver anunnaki empires that live entirely on giant boats, but what works for it doesn't work for Jurassic.

Also it's wild that you would call something slop while posting a picture of ARK and talking about the Fast and the furious movies, at least use something good like Primal as an example.

In the end all that matters here is that more cool dino toys get made, if they made a series of dinosaur riding soldier movies I'd love to see dinosaurs with saddles and stuff. Also based on a ballistics test, it seems like small arms fire would have a pretty hard time taking down a rex. https://youtu.be/7Pf6E8yjMAI?si=ziXGe4HP40PfLtKp

>>11485343
F&F movies are slop, but they don't pretend to be high art, and they still make bank. The point being that they prioritise the entertainment value over realism and it works. Maybe slop was the wrong term to describe what I feel is too much focus on making things "realistic" over prioritising being iconic and marketable. I feel media should take itself seriously, but not be afraid to be over the top in its action. Ground the cast with relatability, and pair it with gratuitous action scenes.
Also Ark is great, it might be buggy but it's still the best dino survival game out there, fulfills the dino taming and dino riding dream.

>>11485320
>There are no senarios where in a dinosaur is a better tool than a drone or a normal guy with a gun.

The idea of dinosaurs as war weapons is stupid, but I could sort of buy the goofy, over the top idea of them dropping a crate of raptors behind enemy lines or something, but the idea that they proposed in one of these movies where you trained a gun on a guy and flashed a laser pointer at him to get dinosaurs to attack instead of literally just shoot the person has to be one of the dumbest, most brain-dead ideas ever proposed in fiction.

Its like proposing the idea of trying to kill a guy with a knife, but instead of stabbing them, you grab the knife by the blade and try to bludgeon the the guy to death with the handle.

>>11485349
i had the tank set of that

>>11485320
I listed a coulle other options right here >>11484522
You do in fact have unlimited options. With a Jurassic world, take any movie plot that happens in a non fantasy setting. Now put dinosaurs in it. There's your options.
Seabiscuit - but with dinosaurs
A creature feature- but with dinosaurs
fucking Homeward Bound - but with dinosaurs
A war movie- but with dinosaurs
Any dog as a companion coming of age movie - but with dinosaurs
A cop murder investigation movie- but the killer is using dinosaurs
A disaster movie - but with dinosaurs (LA gets a massive earthquake and now the dinosaurs go fucking bananas)
A near future sci fi thriller - but with dinosaurs
A zombie movie- but with dinosaurs (the feral thing I mentioned before)

Does one of these ideas seem too thin to last a whole film? Mash it together with another one for the a and b plots. Just like how rebirth is Jaws x Indiana Jones x Jurassic Park. It's not hard. Just try thinking outside of your very, very tiny box for once in your life.

I mean at this point either the mutadons were successfully replicated in large enough numbers to be a surviving pack or whoever the mad scientist was that cooked them up cooked to well and made some living breathing oc donut steel species that can breed.

>>11485129
This is all true but Wuu really was close with the indoraptor. Work out the flaws and get them to work as a pack and just 2 or 3 dropped in an enemy compound or enemy held ground would be a bloodbath.

Just ordered a second Therizinosaurus off Amazon cause it's on sale and I love this figure so much. Honestly wonder if I made a mistake because I'm running out of space, but it's so cheap for the size that I had to get it, I guess I could keep it as a backup in case I ever break the first by accident. Either that or use the first as repaint fodder cause the paint is was a little scuffed out of the box.

Lol, the Mutodons werent even supposed to have large wings originally.

If the movies want to add more hybrid shit, why not go "screw-it" and add Chaos Effect dinos? At least they already exist.
I'm pretty sure Universal 100% owns them.

>>11486794
Poor sales from back in the day, Chaos Effect failed that's why the Ultimasaurus never came out. I think it would work, but they'd have to have just one or two of the Hybrids in the line.

>>11486777
that makes sense, now that i think about it i don't really remember them using their wings other than to enter or exit scenes

>>11487066
Realistically, what else would they use their wings for? Were you expecting them to flap them really hard, while grounded, and create little tornados?

>>11487084
Carry people off? Dive to attack people? Use them to create enough lift to climb surfaces more easily? Not that hard to imagine actually.

>>11487114
They flew off with a raptor but yeah probably could have been used more

Hi all,
Don't bother with the sdcc green t-rex. I know from a great source a HC rebirth buck rex is on its way for Q3.

>>11487279

>>11487114
>>11487185
Pretty sure they also flew to the little store area at the end. Im not sure how anyone expected them to fly inside the store or in the tunnels though.

>>11487303
You're going to be a happy camper come September/October. No idea of that's actual release or just preorder date.

>>11477097 (OP)
damn, those hand puppets have seen some shit or is that their reaction from being fisted?

the nanmu alternate Spino looks good, but I think I'll probably just stick with the standard version.

>>11487780
Ah yes, the JPIII Spino if the JW execs got a hold of the coloring

>>11487279
This is just some faggot trying to spread rumors to make it easier for him to get a sdcc exclusive.

>>11487279
>a great source
Well nobody can argue against it now!

I can't believe I got scummed again by Mattel. They are repacking the D-Rex with inflatable raft and humans, including the kid and her pet dinosaur. This is as bad as making Dominion Ellie Sattler a set exclusive packed with the shitty Giga and Therizinosaurus. The human figures are shit and always packed in sets with reused dinos that makes you double dip. They are punishing people for bothering to collect the humans.

>>11488104
The humans in Rebirth sucked, that boat looks nothing like the one in the movie, and the new D.Rex has almost the same articulation as the big one with worse coloration and at 75% the size.

>>11488108
>at 75% the size.
I'm glad Mattel found a way to incorporate the D-Rex's magical size changing abilities

>>11488108
Yeah, even I can acknowledge that the human figures have always sucked. They are undersized for true 1/18th, have shitty articulation, and wonky likeness. But the dinos need things to eat and chase, and there's not that many people in plain civilian clothing offerings by other 1/18th human line.

>>11488128
Don't talk to me or my son ever again

I've come to realize that the only thing I liked was the river chase

>>11488108
I prefer the new one for the matching arms/wrist articulation alone that allows it to knuckle drag as it did in the movie, along with them switching from electronics to an articulated jaw. Also it looks like it's intentionally meant to pair with Lab Lockdown Rex's smaller size (which I prefer) whereas the first version matches the Power Devour Rex in size and action feature/gimmicks.

>4-toes on the Maiasaura
What the fuck Mattel.

>>11488168
They actually got the smaller Minqaria's toes right, but it's got clown shoes despite being depicted as a quadruped, and has super short forelimbs creating a weird slouch.
Why does Mattel not try for it's hadrosaurs? Even the Hammond Collection Parasaurolophus had gigantic clown shoes, and it mouth looked goofy.

/customs/ reporting. Made an articulated 1/12 Lycaenops.

>>11488191
that's pretty neat

>>11487884
it's a reference to an older spinosaurus toy.

>>11488104
oh hey it comes with an annoying kid for him to eat

>>11479705
BIG FEET ARE NEEDED FOR STABILITY

>>11488108
Human kids are rare at this scale, and this line has a lot of them.

>>11488168
crazy how you can hold a job sculpting dinosaur's for wide release by a major company and just not give a single fuck about it at all.

>>11488255
sounds like every American company in a nutshell, like video fames, TV shows etc

>>11488191

>>11488142
I liked the movie when I saw it but a week later I keep thinking that outside of the river chase and maybe that first boat scene with the mosa none of it really stuck with me, and a lot of scenes I only liked because they reminded me of better scenes in earlier movies

Like the mutadons in the convenience store was just the kitchen scene from the first movie

>>11484767
Have you owned, looked at a picture, or heard the description read aloud of any other mainline Mattel sauropod? It's that with a different neck and ass. Whether the head and ass are good is entirely subjective and depends on your taste.

Yes, it's too late to get an HC brachiosaurus.

>>11488315
Crazy how those American companies mog the industries of your favorite country despite all that, chungus.

>>11488422
That's not a good thing, being able to shovel low effort inaccurate slop to the unwashed masses with sheer shelf volume is only something to be proud of if you're one of the jewish executives making money from it.

>>11488438
Or maybe the dogshit you worship isn't actually as amazing as you think!

>>11488459
What are you even talking about? Genuine projection, the only one even defending anything is you slurping up Mattel's wet farts.

>>11488465
You rape kids chungus

>>11488104

I do hope they keep making the Jurassic films as shill as that sounds. I have realized that 2015 Jurassic world is right up there above Lost World in terms of how awesome it is. Also Indominus has a bunch of rauisuchian and abelisaur traits it’s an epic animal and there were things like it and I hope we get a Hammond Collection of Indominus as soon as they can. The spino looks amazing but I somehow missed any opportunity to get it so I want the Indominus a ton

>>11484495
Why?!

What’s the best articulated t-Rex figure out there? The best I’ve seen is planet X Cacus I hope sh monsterarts makes a t-Rex

>>11488904
Revoltech did a not-JP Rex long ago that had some serious articulation for it’s time.

>>11484495
>he
Anon…

NTA, but seriously, give it time. We only now just got a Hammond AND Super Colossal Spino. I think a Hammond Indominus will come, just no clue when. D-Rex getting Super Colossal is probably not likely unless it’s no bigger than the standard SC (read: scaled-down), or, it gets an even higher price tag. Hammond treatment I think is more likely though, contingent on how well the current D-rex toys sell.

>>11488465
>chungus loses the plot this easily
Sad, but I guess no better can be expected of browns.

Rebirth Rex is officially "yellow" right, it's not just lightning/screen effects...

>>11484341
Game of thrones is popular, why don't we make Planet X story combining 11th century medieval society + dinosaurs. That'll sufficiently nerf the humans and there will be plenty of setpiece ideas for dinosaurs rampaging through medieval villages

One day there’ll be a Dilophosaurus worth owning…

I still love the Hammond Collection T. rex tremendously and it will always be my favorite figure of all time unless re-released or modified. I like the female Rex design just as much as the Buck

>>11488904
The new Nanmu looks really good.

>>11488191
Badass, but are you gonna be adding texture or are you planning on doing it with paint.

Painted the dewclaw on my Theri, but now I'm wondering if I should paint the rest of the claws matt or paint the dewclaw glossy to match the other digits. Leaning towards matt for the other toe claws right now since the finger claws are matt too.
Used Citadel Eshin Grey, pretty decent match out of the pot.

>>11486734
Would have genuinely been easy as shit to explain away more indoraptor or another indominus
>rich asshole stayed behind and nabbed the rest of the indominus bone and a bit of indo blood or a tooth
>US government recovered the indo body and indominus bone
>Biosyn recovered the body and bone helping the US government recapture the animals
Anyways I got my preorder in at lana time for the black indoraptor, its stupid how bbts has over $20 tacked onto the price for it

>>11489315
Hope they reissue some HC stuff, can't find a carno locally or one that ships to me at a decent price right now. Kinda tempted still to get two so I can repaint them in the Disney Dino Colors.

Saw this custom Dinosaur King Therizinosaurus, It looks so damn good.

God, i need the nanmu Rex

>>11489639
Paint and/or fabric dye. Gonna try to replicate the old Kenner Lycaenops colors of brown with black tripes and a cream underside.

>>11489667
Are these 3d prints? Are we at the point where you can actually just print your own toy?

>>11481142
its probably more expensive to animate dinosaurs than "generic humanoid guy in black armor" or "pale digitrade guy using the cloverfield rig" or whatever
they have to be on screen longer and there's a lot of attention to detail required, otherwise a very vocal contingent (many in this thread) are going to get mad that they got the dinosaurs wrong

>>11490086
Thought it was a gacha

>>11490086
>>11490328
Supposedly a 3D print, dude hasn't released any files though.

Got my second Therizinosaurus.
The paint is better than my first, but it's got worse assembly. Knee had a weird stress mark, but that went away with a little heat. The paint from the box also stuck on the underside of the tail, was a problem with my first too, it came off with some rubbing but left a slight reddish stain to the underside of base of the tail.

I love these guys so much, tempted to repaint one to set them apart.

Hammond Indominus and indoraptor… where

>>11491398
After new t-rex with massive feet upgrades.

Fun set, but the Skorpio's head is massive. Gonna yoink out the batteries so they stop roaring when I'm trying to get photos.

Maybe these guys need a figure.
Although I suspect Bezos and Zuck would stop it as we were "getting to close to the truth."

This thing is so fucking cool

>>11492391
Does it include the stand?

>>11492519
yeah

Hammond Collection when?

>>11492220
There was a gashapon figure of the Dinisauroid, but the proportions were a bit odd due to it being a small static figurine (part of a U.M.A. Creatures release). At 1/12 scale the Dinosauroid would be about the size of a 1/18 scale figure but the thin limbs would have me worried about articulation.

>>11492653
>> Gary Owens caught Dino fever and became a dinosaur

>>11492792
God Damn. Now I can hear him.
