Previous Thread >>8699748So it's been some time now, how do we like what we see or have yet to see can we hope to see improvement or no? As far as Camp Cretaceous has it benefited the line or cartoonified the line? How do we like the upcoming selection for this year?
>>8763353
Why’d they have to make the wings so meaty?
>>8763395I'm less concerned about that and more worried about the fact that they seem to be the standard 'metal wire inside rubber' solution instead of actual segmented joints of some kind. These things are gonna degrade and have metal poking out of them in no time, which is a shame - i was looking forward to the Dimorphodon.
>>8763353Well seeing as how mor than half of the amber collection hasnt actually been show/released its hard to say isnt it? Otherwise its decent.
>>8763451They also look like shit bent. Animals don't have U shaped curved wings. They bend at a sharp angle. Those wings are going to look terrible in any pose but fully extended.
>>8763353Amber collection is shit1/12 fags are the worst and I blame them for this half baked cash grab attempt because these braindead retards will buy up anything and this is exhibit fucking A. Even for the garbage scale these are bad, 5 repaints and every single thing is a garbage bare bones release with little to no accessories of any kind, sculpts and paint work are shit, the list goes on forever. They're not good looking collectibles, the human figures aren't good toys, the pteranodon looks like shit. The raptor is kind of fun but do we need 8 of them in the first 2 years with no changes besides paint despite the various raptors actually looking different? No we don't, but we'll damn sure gonna get them.
>>8763584Don’t buy them then. I’m enjoying mine.
>>8763395Because all wings are like that, have you ever looked at an airfoil cross section? it is thick and has 3 dimensions to it
>>8763690I never assumed the wings were going to just be blades. Proportionally, the wings they designed have too much meat on the bone. It’d be like if a dog’s tail was swole AF but the rest of it was normal.
>>8763615I'm not buying them you stupid faggot
>>87635843Strongly agree. The only 2 really have any resemblance to an onscreen counterpart and thats Blue and the the Dilo the rest are just poor repaints (raptors)
>>8763909Ok good Ill enjoy them for you
>>8763584>>anon doesn't like cool articulated dinosaurswhat a fag
>>8763353Amber collection is meh. Not offensively awful, but certainly nothing to write home about. In every sense of the word, it's a Mattel product.
>>8763353JURASSIC Kenner, Hasbro, the past, good bad, great lets talk about more than just Mehtel Amber Collection K?
>>8764467Gotta love that Dilo
>>8764077Nooooo stop liking the scale I don't like reeeeeee
cool, but i already put so much effort into the legacy collection that i cant be bothered with it
>>8763584oh boy, it's 1/12anon.
>>8764943>Anyone that points out the flaws with this low effort clearly bandwagon jumping line is the same person!!!!111/12
>>8764536>>8764943>>8765065>>8764943I said >>8764467Lets talk abt something ELSE ALREADY!How do you like the primal attack concept lads? Best paint yet amiright?
>>8764139Fair
>>8765129fucking hell, why does it have to be the worst trex version that gets the upgraded knee joints?
>>8765135All their stuff was canned right? a shame.
Is the Amber collection JP1 Raptor the best articulated JP1 Raptor or is there a better alternative? Are the normal scaled ones better perhaps?
>>8763584Enjoy your babby scale, fag
They're fixing the paint on the tiger raptors right? For the final product right?
>>8766777What's wrong with it?
>>8766845
>>8766777If you think Mattel is gonna fix one of their fuckups, you should just lower those expectations completely.
>>8763353Amber Collection updated list so Far.Jurassic Park-Alan Grant-Ellie Sattler-John Hammond-Ian Malcolm-Robert Muldoon-Dennis Nedry-Ray Arnold-Velociraptor-DilophosaurusThe Lost World-Ian Malcolm (He was listed twice so possibly TLW?)-Tyrannosaurus (Infant)-VelociraptorJurassic Park 3-Pteranodon-Velociraptor (Probably JP3)Jurassic World-Dimorphodon-Velociraptor Charlie-Velociraptor Delta-Velociraptor EchoJurassic World Fallen Kingdom-Owen Grady-Velociraptor Blue-StiggymolochJurassic World Dominion-Pyroraptor-Deinonychus

kino sculpt incomingpre-sale in Q2 2021
>>8769031
>>8768404triceratops fuckn when?
>>8769344Oh I can show you some triceratops fucking right now
>>8769031what color scheme is this gonna have and what are the dimensions?
>>8769400They usually do 2 or 3 paint variants. I'm sure one of them will be the Buck scheme. Another could be a dark brown, like JP1 Rexy. Scale will likely be 1/35, same as their other figures.
>movie accurate sculpts >but no "broken amber collection" where they make the dinos actually accurate and up to recent research aaaaaaAAAA JUST PUT FEATHERS ON THEM AND MAKE THEM ACCURATE THEY LOOK LIKE SHIT
>>8769599no
>>8769599>aaaaaaAAAA JUST PUT FEATHERS ON THEM AND MAKE THEM ACCURATE THEY LOOK LIKE SHIT
>>8769599Unironically thisThere are barely any accurate action figures, I think the only ones are from the Beasts of Mesozoic line which was a kickstarter projectI get that they need to milk the movie audiences, but feathers on dinosaurs are becoming common knowledge every day passing, it wouldn't hurt to appeal to dinosaur nerds for once, especially since their /toy/ quality has dropped significantly
>>8769031YO WHAT THE FUCK THEY MADE A HANNAH DUNDEE
>>8769599>>8769622Why would they do this in a toy line designed to promote movies that don't feature feathered dinosaurs. I get the desire but a Jurassic Park toyline is the last place to expect scientific accuracy.
>>8769628Because as I said feathered dinos are almost common knowledgeafter the first trailer of fallen kingdom there was big backlash on media, so much that they had to backtrack and add them in dominion>However, feathered dinosaurs are set to appear in some capacity in Jurassic World: Dominion, with Collin Trevorrow and Paleontology consultant Dr. Stephen Brusatte noting the sixth entry in the film series will take strides to present more updated dinosaur designs while preserving the classic genera's iconic looks.since they're adding them in the new movies, they could remake new, accurate toys
>>8769625Yeah, they're including her with it as a little bonus. Doubt she'll be painted though, past human figurines they've thrown in were not.
>>8769649>Because as I said feathered dinos are almost common knowledgeBut this is a toy line designed to promote a specific film franchise. Unless the films start having accurate dinosaurs (which, let's face it, whatever we're getting in Dominion is going to be JP3 "look a handful of feathers on our raptors we're accurate now" tier) there's no reason to expect the toyline to suddenly turn into Beats of the Mesozoic. This isn't a general dinosaur toyline, it's a Jurassic Park toyline.
>>8769658>Unless the films start having accurate dinosaurs (which, let's face it, whatever we're getting in Dominion is going to be JP3 "look a handful of feathers on our raptors we're accurate now" tier) there's no reason to expect the toyline to suddenly turn into Beats of the Mesozoic. I never said that the toyline should turn into Beasts of Mesozoic though, I just used it as an (unfair, to be honest) comparisonof course they won't have the same quality, but considering that their appeal is *dinosaurs* and that their adult audience is either movie nerds or dino enthusiast then I can see it happening, especially since they backtracked to include feathers in dominion after all the drama they causedif they didn't care at all they wouldn't have put them in and would've ignored the criticism like most multi-billion hollywood corporate would've
>>8769701In case you missed my example, they did the same thing in JP3. All they did was add a few feathers onto the heads of raptors. If you're actually expecting scientifically accurate dinosaurs in Dominion you're absolutely deluded.
>>8769729>In case you missed my example, they did the same thing in JP3. All they did was add a few feathers onto the heads of raptors.JP3 was in 2001 though, I don't know much about fossils but I'm pretty sure there weren't many with feathers marks or stuff like itI mean 2001 and 2022 is still a 21 year gap>If you're actually expecting scientifically accurate dinosaurs in Dominion you're absolutely deluded.Did you miss my previous posts?I literally said it won't be on the par with Beasts of Mesozoic or anything like that, but the fact that they will add feathers in some way or another means that they acknowledged part of it I'm not expecting fluffy T-Rexes or anything like that, more like pic related since they mentioned that they will keep the "classic looks" aka scalesOf course it wouldn't hurt to get scientific accuracy but what can you do?
>more like a six foot turkey
>>8769745Not him but by 2001 dinosaurs having full feathers was already fairly well known.
>>8769745You were literally sperging out about there not being toys accurate to recent research here >>8769599
>>8769795I'm >>8769622, >>8769649, >>8769701 and >>8769745
The jurassic dinos are genetic freaks though, frankenstein's monsters cobbled together from god knows what. So it's fine if they aren't accurate. Weird that they're pushing it for dominion, which doesn't make sense unless they're still cloning new, more accurate dinosaurs(which will probably be a retarded plot point, I guess).
>>8769784I mean it's not like they didn't do it before
>>8768498>>8768404Target leaker
>>8768498Take a look
>>8770343What do they mean by mid-size? Pyroraptor was extremely small. Do they mean scaled up like the JP "Velociraptors"?
Oi get in here Now!Kino reveal
>>87703571/12 it think could be scaled up as some hybrid
>>8770357Yeah i think it will be unfortunately do to the misnomer of "Velociraptor" antirrhopus aka Deinonychus as the raptors and people being too stupid to get to has nothing to do w Velociraptor Mongoliesis.
>>8770358Far better than that giant footed ugly ass mattel shit. Too bad JP will never get the BOTM treatment, some quality TLW raptors and rexes would've been nice
>>8771066I know its unfortunate
>>8770357Sort of depends on how they're depicted in the movie, it could be scaled up, though it could be a fairly accurate size and they could do what they did with the Dilo, which was too small for the mid-size box (ironic given that Dilo is scaled down from its actual size) and just give it a big accessory to justify the packaging.
>>8764473I got that raptor on my desk right now
>>8764467Mattel killed all my interest in the toys but I should go back and get all these old Kenner figs. JP and Beast Wars were my childhood, based Kenner fixed both Dinosaur toys and Transformers
>>8769784More like a 3 foot turkey.
Haven't bought a Dinosaur figure before, what is the best Spino to get?
>>8781603Not a meme
>>8781656Is this not good?
>>8769621keyed. A soi boi would say something like that
>>8770358Who and what are these?!?
>>8781878Beasts of the Mesozoic by David Silvas. He released 1/6 scale feathered raptors, a few 1/6 ceratopsians like Protoceratops, several 1/18 scale ceratopsians, and as you saw in the pic he’s working on 1/18 tyrannosaurs.
Found on JPtoys. You think they're for real?
>>8781799It's goodYou asked for the best
>>8783332The best currently available would be the Prime 1 JP3 Spinosaurus statue. Nothing on the market tops that one.
>>8783359About how much does this run?
>>8783635It's a statue who cares, get a toy faggot
>>8783663>Asks for best figure>Shows a statue and says it's the best>Gets butt hurt when I ask about said statue
>>8783170>>8783172Hope so
>>8783723OH YEAH EVERYONE IS THE SAME PERSON HERW BESIDE YOURetard I hope you buy that overly expensive trash statue and then break it taking it out of the box you goddamned nigger
>>8784073Why are you getting this bent about this? I just wanted to know about a good Spino toy you fucking sperg lol
>>8763395BIGMEATYWINGS
Why'd he have to die bros?
>>8784201>Isla Sorna Wild Wings>Big, meaty ‘dactyl wings fried to juicy perfection>Serviced with our signature sauces of Amber’que, Hybrid Hot, Garlic-Parm-asaurus, and for the thrill-seekers, the super-hot Island Eruption.
>>8784322How big would it have been? Thrasher-sized? Young Rex?
>>8784328Looks like young rex-ish
>>8784418That looks a little...Different than the one in >>8784322, I think. Was there a Young Ultimasaurus to be produced, I wonder?
>>8784428Red was the originally unreleased paintjob, and the purple is the same figure but with a new deco for a new subline that also ultimately got cancelled.
>>8783172Gotta be Spinoraptor
>>8781799Expensive but accurate and very detailed
>>8783635The official price on Prime 1's website is $1,299. And yeah, as sperg-boi said, it's indeed a statue, the best "toy" rendition of the JP3 Spino being the Nanmu version pictured earlier.
>>8784686I'd argue that the W-Dragon figure is the more accurate one, but is let down by it's lowsy paintjob.
>>8784694Yeah, the released W-Dragon is a far cry from the prototype shown in the publicity shots. For that reason alone, the Nanmu one wins in my book, but to each his own. :-)
Preorders up on Target
>>8785310
>>8785310Nothing changes....Was wrong the first time is still wrong the next the paint is awful
>>8785362>>8785310>>dusty Cheetos
lmao yall are such whiny babies it’s not that bad
>>8785310>>8785311Exclusive too, in fact it looks like a big chunk of those amber collection leaks are going to be target exclusive. Interesting.
>>8785310>what the fuck are these colours>still using the JW head sculptJesus. I can't believe I was actually looking forward to this release.
https://youtu.be/vcw4zyfSsRM>”making sure the raptor is as movie accurate as possible”>lazily reuses JW raptor sculptAlso, why is this Beyond the Gates a thing? Don’t we have enough mattel shills already?
>>8785568just a shill campaign for the target exclusives. they did the same thing for mando mondays.
I just hate how sparse the stripes are. It feels so unnatural and ugly.
>>8785310I have to repaint this, don't I?
>>8785703Just buy echo or buy blue and repaint
>>8785568Its target exclusive hype bullshitOne of the figure specifically Camp Cretaceous is the mysterious E750 as a slash and roar so guess that is the Toro of this year its likely a crazy hybrid and I don't like the sound of that at all especially if CC is considered canon
>>8785665There are 2 out of 3 unknown Legacy Collection figures that are set to be available at some point in the year curious hope there good like oh an Explorer .... man what else could there be, aside from a tlw camper trailer they will never do?
>>8785568>>”making sure the raptor is as movie accurate as possible”>>lazily reuses JW raptor sculptThe raptor sculpt is pretty bad, Pteranodon looks good.
>>8785568Amber Raptor Cons1) Incorrect head sculpt, the snout is off and they shouldn't have bumps on their head.2) The Arms, both upper and lower are too short.The hands and feet are the worst areas...3) Hands-The innermost fingers are shorter than the outermost, they should be the same length.-The inner finger should be held lower than the middle finger, not above it.-The fingers shouldn't be webbed.-If you're going to charge Thirty Bucks for a figure at least articulate the fingers.4) Feet-The shins are too thin.-The upper feet are way too thin.-The lower part of the feet and the toes are humongous.-The articulation joint shouldn't have been "in" the foot. There isn't a joint there in real life, they should have just had articulated toes. Compare the Indo Raptor foot sculpt to the Amber Raptor and you'll see how bad the Amber is.5) Body is still kinda off.6) Colors are not accurateProsNeck, upper legs and tail are okay...It's a shitty first attempt at a collector line. The Dilo has a few problems, crests too small, legs too short, feet too big but it and Ptera are better.
>>8785798Nope, same here. Seems they can’t think of anything interesting anymore outside of hybrids and shamelessly recreating/ripping off scenes from the movies lol.Also it has been leaked E750 is a hybrid called “Scorpius Rex” or something. Apparently it’s somewhere in between the Indominus and Indoraptor.
>>8785310I like it unlike most of the anons however it is so similar to echo Im not sure its worth it
>>8786084The problem is it's just such an ugly color. It feels especially cheap looking now.
fuck mattelus onlytarget onlywhat the fuck is wrong with them?
>>8787948Mattel has never met an idea they couldn't ruin
>>8787952This is so true. It's baffling really. The country where I live in even has a central office of Mattel, yet NO product whatsoever. I'm done man.
>>8787978lol, ja wat een kankerzooi he?
>>8785568>>”making sure the raptor is as movie accurate as possible”To be fair, if this is what you're after, you're never going to get it from this type of toy. They call it a collector line, but it still sports the soft teeth that are required by kids' toys.If you want a true collector line to reproduce what you saw on-screen, Nanmu and similar companies are your best bet. You bark up the wrong tree waiting for any children's toy manufacturer to do this sort of thing.
>>8788302Ja maar serieus, echt kkzooi. Hoe de FOK kan dit nou man. Mattel haat ons gewoon of zo,
>>8788368Still, they shouldn’t advertise it as such
>>8785987wow I hate this already
>>8787948not missing too much still need the damn BD and Destruct-a-saurs
>>8788501>>8788368yeah that line is a complete lie it would require effort and care to make an accurate collector line
>>8785452they are available on entertainment earth and BBTS
>>8785310please tell me its the lighting :(
>>8787952Maybe they've been "fiscally inspired" by Michael Eisner with Disney over the years>>8790043Unfortunately... it's not the lighting that's bad :(
>>8785310I like this guy. Reminds me of my old electronic raptor(who lost his appendages in a horrible dog accident many years ago). Will only get one though, I already have 3 of the original raptors.
>>8790120bummer.. I like the articulation thothey should just re release the old toys and call it a classic JP
>>8791056Yeah as far as articulation you can pic from 5 different colors of your choosing now besides the" tiger raptor"
I just want to see Muldoon damn it
>>8792418These 4 have no business looking as good as they do. I don't dig Blue's design myself but the other 3 look so good I'm upset they didn't look anything like that in the film
>>8793937It seems like everyone takes liberties with Charlie, Delta and Echo. There's no real consistency in their merchandise, even Mattel's own stuff gives them all different color schemes.
Target legally shouldn’t be putting it out there that the tiger raptor and JP3 pteranodon are exclusive to them. I’ve seen them listed on other websites.
>>8794734How do you know they're not different figures? Target may have exclusive decos.
>>8768404>>8770342Who do I need to suck off for a Jungle Explorer?>>8785808I really really hope they will make one
>>8795171I think theu have women working on a lot it so...
>>8795634So that's why everything is shit
>>8795634Women ruin everythingLook at the team that ran the kenner JP lineAll men
>>8795634This 100% explains why Mattel doesn't seem to listen to the fans
>>8799588>>8799591>>8800290Just look
>>8800393REEEEEEEEEEEE
>>8795634Ah, I don't know about that, I fondly remember them being just overall terrible when it came to DCUC, MOTU, Thundercats and so on. Especially DCUC, those were some hellish days.
>>8785311Tyrone Biggumsaur
I bought one JP1 Amber Raptor and I'm okay with just that because I'm a broke scrub and they're too expensive for me.Do I care that they're biologically and movie inaccurate as fuck? Naw. I totally blew any chance of ever getting a dilo at reasonable prices tho.
>>8800393why is there for many female chinks wtf, the guy incharge of hiring there very obviously has an asian girl fetish and its fucking ruining the toy line. Imagine if this were completely accurate, im sure it is
>muh toys are shit because womenGrow the fuck up.
>>8801693
>>8801693We did grow upWe've noticed the correlation between fantastic toylines run entirely by menAnd more recent toylines that are ruined by womenIf your brain ever advanced beyond that of a middle schooler you might be able to realize this
>>8801693If women are the ones running the show on a toy line that features lazy repaints, mountains of QC issues, half of every fucking line being canned or being so poorly distributed nobody finds them leading to artificial scarcity, and heavily fan requested items being sidelined, then yeah they're the reason.If the shoe fits, wear it Victoria.
>>8800393lol remember when they shared that image on social media and people reposted it because of literally the brachiosaur and then all those autists in the picture complained about REEEE I DIDNT CONSENT TO YOU SHARING A PICTURE OF ME? TAKE IT DOWN!good times, gooooooooood times
>>8801748You apply the logic of a middle schooler. Correlation =/= causality
>>8801815Yeah sure they are responsible, but for the reasons you just mentioned, not because they’re women
>>8801865No shit, Sherlock
>>8801820Any pics of the meltdown lol?
>>8801887Sadly no, but it was fucking kino. There's a reason you can't find very many websites using that picture, despite it being taken at fucking TOYFAIR
>>8801693Its 4chan did you expect something else? Not likely but everyone wants a scapegoat
>>8801979Cuck!
>>8801693You know the rules. Tits or GTFO
>>8801820Yeah Mattel’s Jurassic team is pretty cucked
>>8800393To be fairThe Brach and Mosa are great.The Spino and Indominus are decent, need smaller heads and feet and longer tails.The Tyrannosaurs other than the head sculpts are crap.
>>8801820lmao patheticreminds me of the fat ugly women complaining about rape cultureno one is interested sweetie
>>8802367How old are you?
tfw when you come for toy pics but stumble into an incel nest. You boys need to get some air baka
>>8763584> Amber Collection> 1/12Jeff Goldblum isn't 8 feet tall anon. These are like 1/10.
>>8804060How new are you?Tits or GTFO
>>8804429>Jeff Goldblum isn't 8 feet tall anon. These are like 1/10.Yeah Amber Collection is smaller. They don't scale with Neca for example.Jeff Goldblum = 6'4" = 193.04cmAC Malcolm is 6.75" = 17cm193.04/17= 11.36Wayne Knight = 5'7" = 170.18cmAC Nedry = 6" = 15.5cm170/15.5=10.97both roughly 1/11th scale
>>88060961/11>the scale you didn't know you needed
>>8801591cry about it fag
Here’s your ray Arnold bro
Here’s your “new” Malcolm bro
>>8807916>Mattel doing literally the bare minimumShocking to say the least
>>8808165It's worse than bare minimum. Look closely, they didn't even bother to paint the hand radio.
>>8807910I honestly don't care anymore, Mattel literally doesn't give a fuck about customers outside there US centric bubble.JP/JW toys are dead to me.
>>8808271>Mattel literally doesn't give a fuck about customers outside there US centric bubbleyeah if you think Mattel is doing a good job in burgerland, I have a bridge to sell you
>>8763353Bump
>>8808507Fuck off
>>8807910>not the AH AH AH screencmon, man.
>>8808331Why do you think Americans would want this trash? No one is going to buy that shit.
>>8807910Is it supposed to look as bad as possible?
>>8801310Keep an eye out, just got an Amazon warehouse one today for $28, expecting the packaging to be dented as hell but as long as the Dilo's good, i don't care.
>>8807916They couldn't even give him a fucking jacket...
>>8801979muh lady
>>8807916What's different? A radio?
>>8807910>>8807916HOLY FUCK THESE ARE BAD, what the actual shit is going on at mattel, who the fuck approved these. look at the arms on Arnold, what in the everloving shit is going on there, whos sculpting these figures? Hasbro intern rejects? what the fuck
>>8809468these are very clearly photoshops taken from low-res images you fucking autists jesus christ
>>8809495Yeah I don't think higher res is going to fuck Ray's awkward proportions and shitty arms
>>8809330It was literally the one thing I was hoping for. They could've had a winner if they'd done that, instead they decided to give him new arms and a fucking walkie talkie. And Ray apparently re-uses the arms and coat from Nedry?At this point I'm kind of terrified to see what Grant, Ellie and Muldoon are going to look like. The humans in this line are a disaster.
