More pics of the retooled Indominus. No rubber head/neck, all hard or flexible plastics. New gimmick is that you rotate the left arm back and it activates a chomping action with snarls and growls. It's chomping action goes on for a few seconds, these viper-like fangs in the roof of the mouth drawing and retracting.

Anyways, the red spines on the back conceal the yellow spines which erupt with a push of a button on the left ribs.

The spines erupt with some roaring. I kinda like this clusterfuck-a-saurus and might grab it when money's not tight. The fact that the mouth and neck are motorized and the arms are thick like the last one might make this Indominus actually balanced when standing free.

I did. Put in for 2 Atrociraptors and 2 Balaurs.

Just got the collectors edition bluray of Jurassic World in. The figures it comes with are a bit smaller than I thought but pretty good.

>>5943300
I forgot this was a thing. RIP.

>>5943300
I did. Still haven't locked in but I bought 3. As of now planning for atrociraptor, blue velociraptor, and purple zhenyuanlong suni. Debating if I want to add more.

I pre-ordered three: Velociraptor, Dromaeosaurus and Balaur.

>Velociraptor for the most vanilla raptor genera that primarily uses its sickle claws.
>Dromaeosaurus for the most vanilla kind of broad skull raptor that primarily uses its jaws and because I always loved how their skulls looked.
>Balaur for a more blatantly avian-type of raptor that's bordering on more bird than reptile.

All in all, I was also glad for the colorations I chose: fiery orange for Velociraptor, snowy gray for Dromaeo, and lush blue-green for Balaur. Personally excited for them, and since getting even just three is already pretty damn expensive, I had to make careful considerations on which raptors to pick that really suited my interests in terms of colors and their significance in paleo research.

>>5943839
>>5943760 here.

I got Atroci for the black coloration and deep skull design and Balaur because of the double sickle claws and the more avian features too.

>>5943300
I'm tempted to preorder one but I can't decide on one I like and I feel like they said we'd have to pay around the 7th or something?

>>5943972
Yeah I saw yours and I always find it interesting to see which raptors it is that people pick.

>>5944176
It's been moved to November since the guy seems to be finalizing some of the prototypes and accessories.

>>5943300
Yeah, I can't remember names off the top of my head, but Red and Blue.

>>5944202
Yeah, Dromeosaurus was nearly my choice because of the feather patterns (it looks so badass), but I couldn't resist an edgy black/red raptor and a double-sickled bird-raptor.

>>5942758
I caved and bought the new dilophosaurus repaint because the colors were obnoxiously bright enough to remind me of Chaos Effect.

>>5944454
Funnily enough, my case was the opposite. Originally I was considering the Atrociraptor for the black/red color scheme but I really liked the contrast between the red-orange eyes with the dark snowy grays of the Dromaeosaurus. That, and I always had a soft spot for it. Agreed with Balaur, the double-sickle claws and the fact that it's almost practically a bird-raptor definitely adds to that unique quality to it (sort of like the "missing link" between velociraptor and modern birds) and it's basically why it caught my attention.

That's made by the Chinese company Chap Mei, to anyone interested. They make stykized dinos similar to that plesiosaur. I think they did a pliosaur too.

Walmart also has some knock-off JP dino sets for cheap. They all include an electronic roaring carnosaur with LED eyes. Sculpts are full of big thick scales and limbs are stylized so they can only do one pose really. They come with little Dino-wrangler figures about 3.75" tall with cheapo vehicles and gear. There's the raptor set with one raptor and some dudes and a therizinosaurus version of the same pack about $7. The bigger pack for like $15 has two versions. One is a T-Rex about the same size as the Kenner Young Rex which lights up in the eyes and roars when you pull its arm down. Comes with either some ceratopsian or a stegosaurus a bit bigger than the Bash'n'biter JW dinos, plus Dino-wranglers with gear and a jeep. Alternate version of the $15 pack has instead of the Rex a Rex-sized Dilophosaurus which has a weird crest, a JP-styled frilled neck, and a spinosurus sail. Dumping pics.

I got this when caldor went out of business

Any new ankylosaurus toys out there?

>>5954492
I think it's mainly to do with some already being pre-sculpted beforehand and requiring less new molds while the others are higher in price due to primarily being new molds. It sucks because that means if you choose only between the newer raptors then there's going to be a definite markup in price.

How do any of you justify buying such low quality dinosaur toys?

I love the Jurassic Park franchise as much as any other enthusiast, but the though of giving Hasbro any of money for that garbage merchandise is insulting.

Come on collectors, why support such terrible dinosaur products?

So maybe you guys can help me out here.

I backed a miniatures game on KS where you play as dinosaurs, and J am now in the process of looking for dinos suitable for use.

Basically I want something aroynd 1:100 or 1:72 scale, with decent detail and relatively in scale with each other. I've tried shapewayd and the prices are rapetastic.

Any suggestions?

Tru is full of animal planet sets with dinos and other shit. I missed them for a while because they are on the other side of the store from the action figures. I could do without the vehicles but the figures themselves are pretty nice. Also makes up for missing out on the JW mosasaur. Pick relatified

>>5943300
I would, but I'm always afraid of brittle plastic and bad joints when it comes to kickstarter toys (ie poor qc)

But still, I'm tempted to PO one.

Both

Sexual dimorphism yo

>>5965826
Both look really good honestly. Just really depends on what you want or if you can even get both. I opted for the original colors since it it adds a bit of variety for me, given how I'm also getting the orange velociraptor.

I've got some Kenner velociraptors coming in. What are some of the Must-haves from the earlier Jurassic park lines? I have allot of JP3 and chaos effect but nothing from the first film.

>>5965826
I originally went in for 3 but I'm really debating if I should add more. Some of them look really good.

>>5975030
Kenner Young T-Rex, bonus points if it includes the dino-damage flap.

Thrasher Rex from TLW and Bull Rex are a must since they scale well with 1/12 - 1/10 figures as smaller tyrannosaurids like Albertasaurus (plus Bull can swallow figures). They're pricy though.

If Permian life is something you need figures of, there's Lycaeonops, Scutosaurus, Estomenosuchus, and the classic Dimetrodon.

Ornithosuchus is a fun figure too, make sure the dino-damage detachable-tail is still intact.

And of course the rubber and electronic Dilophosauruses are fun.

>>5975110

What the fuck do you expect? It's literally the most notable series of dino action figures being developed right now with the deadline reaching at November, so of course it's going to be talked about. Raptors aren't even my most favorite species of dinos and you don't see me throwing a bitchfit over this.

If you want to talk about something else then do it, else you're just being a faggot screaming for attention.

This is currently what I'm going for plus one more of the accessory packs, I'm waiting to see them painted up and finished before I decide which. I'm really digging the fan's pyroraptor as well, but ultimately would rather stick to a group that looks color wise similar.

>>5993381
>but ultimately would rather stick to a group that looks color wise similar.
Huh not bad anon, I like your idea.

>>5993381
You know, judging by the pics of the backerkit accessory packs I think young Troodon could scale perfectly for a 1/12 adult Troodon. Microraptor might pass for a 1:1 scale young Archaeopteryx if you swapped its legs with another little raptor, no clue on the rest

Are these raptors for sale already or they still on Kickstarter phase?

>>5995644
Still KS, but they'll be available in time.

>>5995644
The Kickstarter ended, but you can pre-order stuff if you missed out on the Kickstarter phase. David is also asking backers what they think about opening up the blue Velociraptor for pre-orders (it was an exclusive for backers only).

>>5982041
People only care about raptors.

>>5996068
Triceratops and friends are next. If that's true the KS won't succeed. We will see.

>>5996068
and T-rex

>>5996107

This too.

>>5996100
Ceratopsians are way more interesting than raptors, they will have a lot more visual difference vs the raptors who to the average person probably think there's little more than paint difference in these raptor figures.

He stated there will be multiple scales (so the figures themselves will probably all be around the same size) which might cut back on all ins but through the raptor KS there's so few all in's I doubt varying scale will have much of an effect.
