Jurassic World Toys by Hasbro at Toy Fair 2015

That T-Rex playset looks like it'll be worth getting. Not sure how many dinos I'll get to put in the compound, but I think I'll have at least the two T-Rex figures (the tan one in the set, and the green repaint we're getting at some point).

Is it just me, or does it look like the big T-Rex might actually have a ruber skin for it's neck and main body?

Also, question for those who were there. Do the big Raptor figures have their sickle claws?

According to the JP fan sites reporting at ToyFair, only the blue raptor has sickle claws. The other 3 don't. Pratt's raptor's have been genetically toned down by Dr. Wu so they can be tamed and used in wrangling escaped dinosaurs (Indominous Rex). This is how it will be in the movie (the trailers may still show them all with sickle claws). The toys are not incorrect. Only the prototypes had sickle claws because during that time, Hasbro did not yet know the tamed raptors would lack them.

So even though fans may be bummed about the lack of sickle claws, there is a reason for it in the actual film. Pretty much any dino-to-real world scientific errors in the Jurassic Park films are chalked up to genetic tampering (no feathers, large raptors, tiny acid-spitting frilled dilophosaurses, pterranodons with teeth). Even this new film's big theme IS genetic tampering gone wild. The villain dino is the result of such meddling. That's what makes Jurassic Park so great as a fictional story. Anytime they get something scientifically wrong, they just blame the geneticists.

Ok, if the Raptors in the movie don't actually have the claws, why would the trailers show them with claws? and why would only the 12" long Raptor toys be missing them? The Basic sized Blue Raptor has them, all four of the electronic Raptors have them, and even the Lego Raptors have them.

I mainly ask because I can't zoom-in on the images here (issue with the browser I'm using), so I couldn't get a good look at the figures to see if they had really been removed.

^ you're right actually, in the trailers the raptors have the claws, in fact, the assumption that they were altered 'not' to have the sickle claw was only speculation.based on the odd design flaw on the figures themselves. When the recent trailer popped up, it was very clear that the raptors do have their signature claws.

It just seems Hasbro made a mishap

If the three Raptor figures in-question really don't have their signature clawes, I honestly doubt it's a mistake on Hasbro's part. They did at one point have them, so Hasbro would have had to have a reason to remove them. Wouldn't surprise me if it was some toy-safety thing. Though what specifically is beyond me, as if they were originally a hazard, I'm sure they could have just altered the sculpt to make them safe. Might have lost some of the more minor details, but wouldn't have nerfed the entire figure.
