Anyone else collect these guys?
I had loads as a kid then sold them all but last year ended up buying a lot back. Missed them too much as they had great vehicles and play-sets. |

I still have the original electronic t-rex, doesn't work anymore, but it's beautiful. I also have the Thrasher t-rex from the second movie, and the baby raptor in an egg. They've all survived my childhood.

With the exception of the god awful JPIII line (and it's subsequent repaints), the Jurassic Park toys are the best dinosaur toys ever made.
Which is exceptionally sad given how much better toy tech has gotten since then, and how much more we've learned about dinosaurs in the following two decades.

Yeah the 3rd line was awful. Only good thing to come out of that was the massive Spinosaurus but it still lacks slightly.
Anyone interested in the idea of JP4 and the possible toys to come? |

They're pretty to look at, but they're as useless as useless gets.

While I love Papo's dinosaurs, and have several, they are not very educational. They're based on Jurassic Park designs, which are inaccurate almost across the entire line. Their latest t-rex is actually based on the V-rex from Peter Jackson's King Kong, which is not a very accurate dinosaur, because it's made up.

According to this it's slated for a 2015 release apparently.
Exclusive: Jurassic Park 4 Targeted for 2015, to be Shot in 3D - ComingSoon.net I loved 1 & 2 but 3 just left me with a sour taste. The idea of getting new toys is awesome but not if it'll be crap. Also anyone seen these? They got released at the start of the year but have never seen them in the UK. Not too crazy on the colours, seem they are taking that from the Chaos Effect line. |

Those have been at my local TRU for months now. I personally think they're crap. And as far as accuracy goes, I'm perfectly fine running with the excuse that all of the JP dinosaurs are not actual dinosaurs but mutants and lab experiments gone awry.
So they can be big, purple and sing about love for all I care.

give it a month and it will go back on the shelves just like the Justice League Movie. Honestly I think they need to go back and Relaunch the Movie series and follow the books a tad closer.

If they didn't come with the stupid humans, which would hopefully cut the cost down, I'd troopbuild the hell out of the pachyrhino. Now those are toys.

i don't think any of these cost $30+ .. at least not where i live. you can get most of them in the $20's at the learning express. plus, when i was a kid.. dinosaur toys weren't articulated at all. they looked unrealistic and all of their articulation came from my imagination. if you don't mind me asking, how old are you now? i would've killed for these things when i was a kid. |

Technically, a rock can be considered a toy. For some, Hot Wheels are their toys. For others, their toys are actual cars.
It's all a matter of perception. Based on what I've seen of the humans, I doubt removing them would do much of anything to the retail price. There isn't much there to begin with, since it's a typical "figure that came with the vehicle" type of toy.

Papo wouldn't have interested me as a kid then, and they don't now. Give me an action figure over a statue any day.
