Topic: Mattel's "Jurassic World" Line.

[The Spectre]

Mattel's "Jurassic World" reveals today were not as impressive as I was hoping that they would be. It seems like a vast majority of the new items are either retailer exclusives (which are not shown at Toy Fair) or are not far enough along for them to have had production samples or prototypes at the show.

Surprisingly, several of the 2019 items that are already revealed or in stores were not represented either.

The showstopper for me was the Indominous Rex! It should be out in the fall.

They also revealed a new Colossal scale Blue!

The rest of the reveals were just redecos of 4 of last year's Roarivores and 2 of the just released Dual Attack dinos (Triceratops and Concavenator)

Hopefully we will see the rest of the line at SDCC in August!

So does Mattel catch as much hades as Hasbro with repaints or do folks like these Dan?

Than new Rex seems cool. Off to share.

Plus, are you planning on getting that Brachiousaurus?

Here is a developing checklist of Mattel's 2019 "Jurassic World" offerings:

I saw that and shared it on the front page. Gonna be a good year for Mattel fans just with that Brachiosaurus.

Mattel does catch some flack for the repaints, but not much. The repaints seem to sell just as well, if not better in some cases, as the original releases. I personally like the repaints as it allows me to add some diversity to my shelves without having to repaint them myself.

I plan on getting 2 Brachiosauruses, maybe more if they ever hit clearance

These are only gonna be $50 right?

That is what they said at NYCC, hopefully they follow through with it.

It will sure be interesting to compare its size to the biggest dinosaurs already offered. Sure does seem like its gonna be the biggest produced yet. Wonder if they will ever make a Diplodocus?

They could probably just swap out the head on the Brachiosaurus to make a Diplodicus, so it would be a simple redeco/retool.

I thought the Diplodocus had a really, really long tail?

That is true, so swap out a new tail as well LOL
