The new chaos theory rex has a mechanical flywheel creating the animatronic effect instead of a battery. It’s pretty cool.
You press a plunger on it’s back to rotate the motor.
Then the wheel pivots around the other wheel to make the head and jaw move up and down.
>>10998342>>10998343Awesome, so if I remove the batteries to stop the annoying sounds the function will still work perfectly? That's great. Never thought I'd buy a third mattel Rex(after Hammond and the rubber red rex) but here we are.
BBTS is taking forever getting the Nanmu JP3 raptors in, are they still in stock on some other sites?
These specific figures will haunt me until my dying days, I swear to god. But I'm still determined to get them for my own sake.
>>10998414They basically put one of these inside a T rex. It feels really good to press it.
Target has the Mamenchisaurus for 50% off this week, brings it to 33 bucks.
I want it
still missing the left leg but this guy is pretty dope.
>>11002131
>>11001227Looks awesome, will get. I hope the classic 93 line isn't over.>>11002131>>11002132The new Zabu is cool just wish it wasn't a BAF and Came with Ka Zar and Shanna. Are we gettin a new Shanna?
>>11002535>>11001227any more announced or just this one and the initial first wave?
>>11002536>any more announced or just this one and the initial first wave?From what I've heard this set is the last release for 2024, which imo is insane. I don't know if it will continue next year?
Hammond Collection Giga and Theri.
>>11002535I took hope it's not over, but I doubt it. Also wish we were getting a new Shanna but no way it happens. Honestly shocked we got one as good as we did as an exclusive way back when. >>11002536>>11002578There's the first wave of 4, the nedry/bike set that just came out(the weakest of the bunch imo), and this upcoming set. I agree it's wild that they haven't gone all in on this line, it's far better than anything else from a design perspective. There's two releases from the new sub series "Jurassic World Reimagined" scheduled for target later in the year, the JP fansites/Instagrams are posturing that it's more 93 classic esque crazy toy designs, but using characters/dinos from Jurassic World.
>>11002592I've seen Therizinosaurus figures with articulated arms but I don't think I've ever seen one with articulated fingers before (aside from, like, the LEGO one).
>>11002592When are we getting JP2 Rex?
>>11002626Yeah September, October, & November are unaccounted for slots basically preorders for 2025 sets already could be Hammond, Legacy, or 93 Classic or all 3 looking to release in late 2024 or early 2025.Oh and a reminder next year is already the Next BiG FiLm For JuRaSsIC WorLD 4(still wondering who green lit the film after the pure dumpster fire of Fallen Kingdom and Dominion. Literally worse than Transformers and JP3.
>>11002592Shouldn't the Therizinosaurus be a little bigger?Also any hope for an updated "Rexy" model that looks better than the first one?
Official Becklespinax toy reveal.And I'm still left wondering. Why Becklespinax? Not only is it a junior synonym of Altispinax but they also have Concavenator right there to use.
>>11002731Yeah not sure if it's a better concept or should've been kept static but it's probably the very first JP Theropod or Dinosaur perid made with functional fingers/digits which is sorta historical lol.>>11002735Yeah I never got the HC rex cause the whole thing looked cursed and off and I have no regrets.>>11001227This is probably the best looking and closest replication that stays true to the original Kenner line instead of just being a silly repaint yes some are just slightly retooled but this seems the most faithful to the Kenner inspiration imo.>>10998568Order from Lana time if they're still up.
>>11002626>Also wish we were getting a new Shanna but no way it happens.Is it because she's scantily clad? Seriously?>>11002732>When are we getting JP2 Rex?Don't know if we're getting Buck. Would be nice.>>11002735>Shouldn't the Therizinosaurus be a little bigger?Those are two pictures of each figure I shopped together for one image, so don't consider these the scale of the figures compared to each other in real life. Theri may be larger.>Also any hope for an updated "Rexy" model that looks better than the first one?Sorry I don't know.
>>10998342Easily the most bizarre rex ever made and that's a lot coming from mattel.>>11002739Yeah it's made to be a major role in the show but so is the Allosaurus but this is 100% better than the hideous Allo remake they should have just retooled the already accurate Dominion Allo. Trying to track one down was too damn busy during the clearance at Walmart to snag one
>>11002742Yes, no way current hasbro touches Shanna. I think it's far more likely, in fact I'm surprised it hasn't already happened, that some other company like Loose Collector releases a barely clothed jungle girl character like, well, Jungle girl, or Cavewoman, or Sheena, or any of the countless other hot cavegirl clones that had some comics come out between the 50s-2000s
>>11002752>Yes, no way current hasbro touches Shanna.But Ka Zar in loin cloth is fine of course. Reminds me of how everyone wants a new BS Slave Leia but hasbro won't go near her. I hate this political climate so much.
>>11002592>>11001227These are all really neat!I want a Hammond JP3 Spino and a JP2 Trex. Did they ever make a Hammond Indoraptor or Indominus?
>>11002739Yeah it's dumb, it really should have been Concavenator.
>>11002626I guess it'll be Blue and the Indominus, they're the main Jurassic World dinos. Maybe something with the Mosasaurus ?
>>11003041If they have balls - and leakers are right about it being an extension of Kenner esque rips- they'll use Jurassic world's genetic splicing dino hybrid themes to finally release an ultimasaurus stand in.
>>11002739I really wish they would stop bloating every new project with random Z-list dinosaurs nobody gives a shit about except for modern paleo-autists. Not every new thing needs a brand new dinosaur. There are plenty already.
>>11003317>There are plenty already.buy those then
>>11003362It's not a matter of buying shit.
>>11003383more new dinosaurs is cool
>>11003396Not really.
>>11003397>in the dino toys thread>doesn't want more dino toyskys retard
>>11003405I was talking in general, retard. New dinosaurs for the sake of new dinosaurs isn't cool or interesting, it's just spam to make idiots like you buy more plastic.
>>11003407>isn't cool or interestingwhy are you here if you hate dinosaurs you dumb faggot?
>>11003410I'm here specifically to upset you and it's working.
>>10998342Dinosaurs
>>11003413
>>11002904>Did they ever make a Hammond Indoraptor or Indominus?Not yet, although the Super Posable Indoraptor is technically the prototype for the Amber and Hammond Collections regarding articulation so I guess you could say kinda for Indo.>>11003396>more new dinosaurs is coolAgreed, I would like to see some really unique designs.
>>11003488Is that indoraptor in 1/18 scale?
>>11001227though unlikely I would have to see the jeep with the cancelled series 2 paint job
>>11003490Yes
>>11003522I would love more crazy jp vehicles.
Hammond Collection Fallen Kingdom Claire and Delta
>>11003638https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IppYZNilhkAnd here's the Behind the Gates Video
>>11003638I hope they remake the JP1 and JP3 raptors because those suck but Blue and Delta look very nice
>>10998342>saw a box of chaos theory dinos at walmart that had a sign that said "do not sell before june 2024" and i was too much of a pussy cuck bitch to ask the employees to open it on the off chance they realize that they would get in trouble and id be banned from my local walmartI fucking despise street dates
>>11002732we aren't it
Why don't I ever see human figures?
Really loving the Blood Knight. Still waiting for my BBTS to ship my White Queen so that I can have them together.
>>11003732Mines had the display out, it was filled with the new trex, I went Monday
>>11004787can it stand on its own?
>>11004803yes
>>11004808The paint deco is so much better looking than the BOTM figures. I like my Alectrosaurus, but the blue and yellow spots look so unnatural with how thick and sloppily they are applied
>>11004816I like BOTM figures but their paint is very childish, i don't know how else to describe it
>>11004816Can I post my funko pop dinosaurs here?
>>11004816I really don't get why David is so averse to adding washes to his figures.
>>11004848I think part of it is because they are too busy. Each additional layer looks sloppier and more noticeable that no attempts to blend the colors were made. My Daspletosaurus looks solid. The face looks a little sloppy where the yellows meet the red, but the rest of the figure drifts from pale yellow to dark red looks mostly natural. In contrast, lythonax's spots and stripes look atrocious, like they're just slapped on the figure, which sucks, because the prototype looked so much better with its paint apps. https://creative-beast.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/IMG_6714.jpg>>11004853I don't see why not. I'm pretty sure I've posted my Funko Giganotosaurus on these threads once or twice.>>11004867David's been (slowly) improving despite the fact that so many BOTM fans have been playing down every criticism of the line, so I have hope that he'll eventually get a handle on the paint apps, especially now that he has actual competition from Nanmu.
>>11004787>Really loving the Blood Knight. Still waiting for my BBTS to ship my White Queen so that I can have them together.Me too anon, BK and WQ are amazing figures, I may get a couple to have a pack. I already did that with the Amber Collection some time ago when they were cheap to triple up on but man these new ones are just too good not to. I've heard Nanmu is going to do JP and TLW versions too.
>>11003732>>11004797excuse me, what chaos theory toys?
>>11004787Damn, once looks like Elvis, other looks like a vegas impersonator. I cant wait for the JP1 raptors.
>>11004787>>11004816Very cool figs man, Inspired me to post mine.
>>11005170I kneel before your vastly superior painting skills, anon.
>>11005133They're from Netflix show that comes out this friday
>>11004884I can agree with that, i feel he doesn't know when a color scheme is done and just keeps adding and adding colors.For example i think the mentioned lythronax would look much better if it was just yellow with black spots and the reddish throat, but the minty green sploches it has are pretty ugly in my opinion
>>11005170What crocodile is that?
>>11005163I definitely think the Amber Collection Raptors could have been better, but they're still a $25 toy being compared to a $50 toy. Even though the upcoming Giga and Theri look like Mattel's best figures yet, they still aren't going to compare to the deco and detail quality of the Namu figures whenever they do them since (assuming Namu sticks to 1/35 scale for their large dinos like they are doing with Carno) they will be between $80 and $120 bucks.
>>11004816>>11004848>>11004867>>11004884And these are some of the better looking figures.. The raptors are abysmal and many of the ceratopsians are way sloppier too. I have no idea why people like this line. Bad articulation engineering and awful paint. It's been 8 years and were at like 100 figures at this point. I get that developing new articulation schemes can be challenging but man, it's like they don't even test them out and put them through the paces before going into full production.
I don't remember that one being on InGen's list
>>11000292How does that— or how does it work.
>>11005746kek
>>11005598>The raptors are abysmal and many of the ceratopsians are way sloppier too.I like my ceratopaians, but I absolutely agree about the raptors. I only have one of the 1/6 velociraptors and it looks just bad. The blue on its snout and eyes looks nothibg like box art or the paint master.>this point.I get that developing new articulation schemes can be challenging but man, it's like they don't even test them out and put them through the paces before going into full production.It is particularly annoying, because people have pointed out the problems early in development and David has waited until multiple waves deep into a line to patch them. Nanmu did the segmented neck on their first figure, and we arent getting it in the BOTC line until Dilo and Carno
>>11006007the sabertooth figure looks pretty great
>>11005984And how much did that raptor cost compared to the nanmu one?
>>11006162probably very similar
>>11006162Before shipping the BOTM raptor wad $3 more than the Nanmu raptor. After shipping it was $13, since Lanatime does free shipping while David charges $10
Utah's lookin good
>>11005196Cheers brother, I love the green hue on yours. What counts is that we have our Bucks, Mattels Gatesgate campaign notwithstanding...BTW are you doing the articualted feet on your buck or the static kind?>>11005245The Bandai one that was like $300>>11005251That being said, Mattel could make a few minor changes that would make a HUGE difference, i.e. proportioned feet and adding sharp teeth.>>11005984Kinda wish I was in a position to collect a gang of dinos like your gregarious bastards you have there.>>11006007Major props to BOTM for not making the smilodon striped/ tiger-like. Do you guys think the Build a figure Marvel Legends Smilodon will be hard to come-by on ebay?
While we're on the topic of beasts of the Mesozoic, it looks like there's a sale going on until the 27th on the official site.Not only that, but the Chasmosaurus is finally being restocked (the thing notoriously sold out quickly originally and has been insanely hard to track down ever since), and is included in the sale:>https://creative-beast.com/products-on-sale/?coupon-code=DINOARMY24
>>11006750>Marvel smilodonHard? No. Expensive? Probably. It's one of the only build a figures to have appeal outside of what it actually is supposed to be (ie some obscure marvel character) vs some very specific suited superhero character. It's also one of the build a figures you are guaranteed to never see again(though I could see the majority of the mold going to gijoe if it hasn't already, I don't keep up). Regardless, if you want it just get it. There's bound to be plenty.
>>11006750>BTW are you doing the articualted feet on your buck or the static kind?that was an older pic, I posted by mistake. I went with the articulated feet for my Buck>That being said, Mattel could make a few minor changes that would make a HUGE difference, i.e. proportioned feet and adding sharp teethyeah, if the Amber collection had the better feet and teeth of the new Delta HC Raptor I would have army built with them instead of just buying only the Male JP3 and the Tiger Raptor
Just finished watching Chaos Theory and I really want some good figures of the atrioraptor team.Its refreshing to have a squad of evil dinosaurs that dont get killed the first time they're shone
>>11008163>evil dinosaurs
>>11008169>>11008629antagonist dinosaurs
>>11008786>Named Ghost>white with glowing red eyes>howled at a full moon>killed at least 3-4 people throughout the season>owner is an albino with a whistleYeah naw evil
>>11008163Don't they all die in JW Dominion? I know Ghost is the one that falls off the plane when chasing Chris Pratt, and I think the other two were killed while the plane was taxiing on the runway.
>>11008809As per the director and universal it was mentioned all 4 atrioraptors survived Dominion.Figure Red will be introduced next season to up the anty
>>11008809>>11008820There's no such thing as Jurassic World canon
>>11008832Yes there is,you may not like it, because the movies are shit, but that doesnt mean it doesnt exist
>>11009031I think the worst issue was/is just how buried in the JW websites the connections to the previous movies are.>nothing but info about the dinosaurs saved from Isla Nublar>then had to add in the anklyosaurs were imported from Sorna>now that TLW and 3 are canon to JW they had to explain where all the dinosaurs not on the OG ingen list came from>Wu and Ingen snuck back onto Sorna after TLW to hurry and make new dinosaurs just because all the countries were threatening to do a ban on resurrecting extinct animals after the Trex rampage in San Fran but Masrai was interested in buying ingen and making a new park>oh the pteradons that escaped at the end of 3, Hoskins hunted them down and killed them in Vegas>at one point was canon Hoskins and ingen mercs killed the Spino when getting all the dinosaurs from Sorna for the new park, then changed to it was moved to that other island in camp cretaceous, no idea now what's what>Buck and Doe Mia until suddenly appearing at the end of Dominion, completely defeating the purpose the >gigga was the dominant predator in the Biosyn valleyReally shit show all around
>>11009031No there isn't, anything can be retconned at any moment, never forget "Quilliam" is the JP3 raptor's official name just because Colin redditor saw it on twitter
>>10998342Segisaurus toy when?
>>11010045literally never
Will David ever have the BALLS to make a 33 inch long Spinosaurus?
Is the Guanlong and Lystrosaurus two pack already out in the US? Im Europoor so ill even have to wait longer now.
>>11005170So those actually have poa? All the ones I see look like just statues
>>11012715Those are Mattel Hammond Collection Tyrannosaurs with custom Heads, Feet and paint jobs.
>>11010844I rather he had the balls to do a scaly dilo instead
>>11013434Ah OK thanks I'll stick to my 20 buck dinos
>>11008832Based, Jurassic Park ended with 3.0
So why did he not appear anywhere in Chaos Theory when it seems like he's slated to appear?Also how do you feel about it compared to the other Mattel toy (or JWE2)?
WHEN, NANMU?! (and that JP Rex too)
>>11010942I just got them at a Walmart in the US today! They must have been pretty fresh out. I almost missed them (walked right by them on my first pass). The Lystrosaurus is super neat, love that Mattel made him!
>>11013850it's slightly better, overall has better proportions. on the other hand, I hate that retarded action wheel
I know the rubber on the AC raptor tails was terrible, but what about the JP3 pteranodon? Have the wings held up?
>>10998342>bunch of new jurassic world chaos theory toys were supposed to come out today >only one store got some new strike attacks, no new danger packs at any store even tho they were the ones i wanted the most I fucking hate big retail stores like walmart and target, theyre a bunch of lazy fucks that wont even get anything new out even the day of the street date is broken. I fucking hate these bastards i hope they all go out of business's and they probably will when they stubbornly refuse to stock any new merch
>>11015156have some patience jfc
>>11015156Since they got rid of department managers what 4 years ago now toys is treated like a red headed stepchild 10 1/2 months out of the year at walmart.Shit shows up when shit shows up.
>>11015156Mine are super inconsistent with stocking. I am >>11014573 and I was super shocked to see them at the store. They are almost always out of stock or shelf warming with stuff three waves ago. May be worth trying a further away walmart too.
>>11014348Probably a few months since tge just showed off the paintmaster for the Carno
>>11015959
>>11015960shit this looks fucking amazing
