But seriously, I don't care what they do with the humans. They can be jello molds.

As long as the dinosaur toys are at least as good as they were for JP1 and Lost World, and not awful like the JPIII toys were.
To this day the JP and Lost World toys are still the best line of dinosaur action figures ever made.
And that's kinda sad. Not because they were bad (They weren't), but that since the mid ninties, no one has tried to do better.
Lets go back to a sense of scale. I know we'll never get Velociraptors that are truly in scale with others, and the scale of the original lines were atrocious... but they were much better than most. At least the animals were vaguely in scale with themselves and the humans (Unlike JPIII, which had the largest theropod known the exact same size as a velociraptor and a brachiosaur). So at least Kenner attempted scale, enough so that it was overlookable.

But seriously, I don't care if they even do human action figures. No kid will really want them, so they may as well focus that money on making the dinosaurs better, instead of waisting it on guarenteed shelfwarmers.

Look up Papo's dinosaur line. You may be blown away. Although not in any consistent scale, they are incredible. Their raptor, in particular, is scaled perfectly for 3.75" GI Joes. I have their t-rex, raptor, ankylosaurs, and styracosaurus; and will get their brachiosaurus, v-rex, and baby rex when the opportunity arises.

I'm not disagreeing with your statement about the JP1 and JP2 toys though. Case in point:

However, here's a photo of my Papo dinosaurs (the raptor on the far right is from Safari though, not Papo):

The styracosaurus looks a little screwy because he's in the middle of being repainted.
...and I gave the raptor a total overhaul:
