It sad how cheap and awful Mattel's DC figures have always looked.

I just want to see the rest of the product revealed last year to get released. Specifically all those Titans figures.
Is there any word that they might have been axed?

1) Very few scientists have made the claim that all dinos had feathers. The evidence has long been there for the small theropods, and some question about larger ones, but feathered sauropods, duckbills, or armored dinos were never widely believed to be feathered. So, for the most part, the JW line is ok.
2) This is the Jurassic World toyline. The toys are meant to be accurate to the movie, so if you have complaints about the scientific accuracy of a sub-par Hollywood blockbuster, go to Speilberg. The toys do what they should - provide a fun experience for kids who enjoy the JW films, and are the best main stream, kid-oriented dinosaur toys in a long time, maybe ever. More importantly to the toy industry, they have been successful. There is still a significant amount of shelf space dedicated to the toyline, long after most such movie tie ins (like Rampage, or Black Panther) have vanished. 3) If you want a good, accurate, feathered dino line, check out Creative Beasts studios, and support their upcoming (non-feathered) line of Ceratopsians. https://creative-beast.com/product-c...SAAEgKmMvD_BwE As for creative beasts, yes, I have several of his raptors and can’t wait for the ceratopsian Kickstarter to begin.

No news is disappointing. Really want Grant, Sattler, Malcolm, and some generic raptors from the first film. Here's to hoping for more news at SDCC.

I don't know how they don't have a single "Legacy" Jurassic Park thing to display. Lego didn't have anything either, at least we got the 1 set. Are there likeness rights issues or something?

I just googled the last pics of the 6” figures. Yeah, they are sculpted and painted to look similar, but not scanned faces like Starwars, Hot Toys or some of the Mediacom figures,.. so I don’t think it’s a likeness issue.

Same here. Lot of the Icons figures were pretty good but I didn't care for their Stewart one either. The Multiverse prototype though I liked. Same with the prototypes for Starfire & Wally. Well Wally to an extent, face could use some work but its the fact that it's a figure of both his new costume & it being an obvious Wally, not just the same ol' Flash suit that you could say about anyone could be wearing.
I'll say this though, while expensive, that Mezco Stewart is sick! Not to mention the Jordan figure. Best GL figure's I've ever seen. |

Here’s hoping McFarlane Toys does a better job with fabric capes.

After doing this for almost 30 years I'm no longer surprised at how much collector's DON'T know about this hobby.

This doesn't seem to bode well for Mattel.
It really seems like they're just phoning it in. In Distribution, in New Products, in marketing. It's not a wonder they're losing stock value. They seem extremely slow to adjust to a post TRU world. Just continue to rely on Hot Wheels and Barbie. JP distribution was good, except of course for a certain Spino that never even showed up in stores out here. |

According to Pixel Dan there will be a Netflix She-ra toyline coming out later this year, so now I can ignore Mattel for the next six months. Except that Poison Ivy, I'm going to get that.

Yes! I like that Ivy too. The rest, not so much. 'Bye, Mattel. Don't let the door hitcha on the way out.
Next time, I'll make sure it's obvious that I mean to be rhetorical and sarcastic. |

Why Mattel did nothing with the 6" line is beyond me, or how they didn't show off any of the new Mega Dual Attacks or even the Attack Packs in person. Was there any coverage of the collector panel?

You would think they would have wanted to have that out to coincide WITH the show, but okay. They pulled the same crap with Voltron too when Voltron Force was airing.

Those mini-dinos look like mini Gon styled figures. Really digging those.
Digging some of the DC Multiverse stuff, at least Robin and Batgirl. The movie batman figure is neat. It's an amazing classic throwback to his first batman movie figure in style, detail, and accessories(minus zipline belt of the original). Entirely has that classic figure design aesthetic as a nostalgia throwback with some modern articulation added. |

Ugh. Jurassic Park stuff looks like crap. Getting tired of these 30 year old recycled toys. How can a toy line promoting inaccurate designs be toy of the year? I thought toys that educated and excited were promoted. These actually dumb down kids. 30 years ago it was just logical theory about dinosaurs and feathers, today it’s fact.
Hopefully the next World movie is the nail in the coffin for this geriatric series. I say that as a HUGE fan of the novels. The movies have got to go extinct. My question is what happen3d to that Brachiosaurus? As far as feathered dinos, remember these aren't dinos. They are all genetic hybrids. In the universe canon there were holes in the genetic code. He'll on the book the tree has a frogs tongue. |

My question is what happen3d to that Brachiosaurus? As far as feathered dinos, remember these aren't dinos. They are all genetic hybrids. In the universe canon there were holes in the genetic code. He'll on the book the tree has a frogs tongue. If you are asking about the one during the volcanic explosion, that Brachiosaurus burned to death. That was a great cop-out written into the movie. It could, and should, have been written in to explain feathers on the dinosaurs. What Wu should have said was, “In the past, we used other dna that affected the look of our dinosaurs. With advances in DNA cloning, our current dinosaurs are more genetically pure and that explains the feathers and proper wrists.” T-Rex never had a frog tongue in either book. In Jurassic Park, it had a slightly forked tongue it used to explore a cave the kids were hiding in. That was more of a snake-like trait, using a Jacobson’s organ to smell. It coiled around Tim’s leg and pulled him. It wasn’t launched at him nor was it sticky.

It seems I can stop collecting DC Super Hero Girls as well, as I hate the new design. :-(
