Yes, they are different art from the typical concept art by McCreery. Here's a scan of it:


The Compy is also new art, too:

Wow. I didn't know that. The body postures looked alike so I thought that they weer basically the same, but with different colors.

Just got this in the mail! There's a wealth of rare production stills and deleted scene stills in this! Of the number of deleted scene stills, the new ones to me are a new still from Hammond's research team setting up their equipment before going off looking for Sarah and a still from the extended bit of Ian Malcolm and Sarah Harding having a discussion while making their way back to the trailers.

Got this Jurassic Swag from the JP Exhibit this weekend:

How was it? I saw some of your posts on Facebook. I'm really trying to plan on going, but it's a 6 hour drive from me so it's basically a two day trip kind of thing.

I would highly suggest it. I was literally grinning ear to ear the whole time, and kept humming the JP theme all the way out the doors. Almost everybody had some dinosaur or JP related shirt on, especially the kids. The only thing is the gift shop was kinda pricey, but that's to be expected. You should totally go, and let me know when you do. I wouldn't mind going with you. Tickets cost about $11.

Spoiler:

It also came with weapons, but I didn't take a photo of them.

My Bull T. rex maquette replica from Milan Livada:






See the build thread here.

Here's my new JP Kenner Red T. rex.

Yay! Everybody deserves to have a Red Rexy in their collection!

I still need one of those. Maybe for my birthday?

How is it? Would you recommend getting it? After Hasbro's failures with the JW line I've been hesitant to get into Mattel's line. With that being said, they certainly look better than Hasbro's.

Based on the reviews and testimony I've seen from pages like The Jurassic Park Collection and others, the Mattel JP stuff is everything we have wanted.

That's good to hear! I can't wait to expand my collection!

I just got the Trash n Trow Rexy online, it arrives next week here. I'm so excited guys!

Here she is!!! I loved her! Huge, beautiful, loud sounds...

Look the quality diference from Hasbro shitty toys!

Lol, the difference between those two Tyrannosaurs really puts it into perspective.

More from today!!!

Spoiler:

So, here are some various JP merch I have gotten over the past several months. Decided to wait till I got something really cool before showing it all off:

Does anybody know why the Legacy toys are a Target exclusive?

I'm swimming in Mattel JP toys over here!

It's official. Mattel has earned my money. I'm so buying many of those toys.

I so envy you US peeps, here in my country there isn't half the merch you found in US already.

The roarivores didn't arrive here. =(

So pumped to get Baryonyx, Mosasaurus and the Legacy Collection.

Oh man, are these toys so much fun! I highly recommend them!

What's your favorite so far?

Loved the rexes and Indoraptor!

Definitely the Chomping Rex and the iRaptor. Their levels of articulation make them so much fun to play with!

Do you have the Super Colossal T. rex yet? It's on Amazon for $79.99.

Not yet. I went back to my local Wal-Mart earlier today to see if they still had the one in stock and they sadly did not. In fact, some scalper cleaned out the entire stock of JW toys leaving behind only a few pegwarmers like the crouching green raptor. I'm debating if I should get that $80 one on Amazon, or if I should wait it out and see if any appear closer to MSRP. I'm planning on having it repainted, probably in the male's colors, so it doesn't matter which one I get.

Ugh so there are scalpers doing it...I hate this.

I got the Indoraptor too and I'm amazed by the level of details they put in that toy. But I stil didn't take mine out of it's box. XD

The Chompin' T.rex I'm so excited to get too.

My Jurassic haul from the last few days. I'm so glad Mattel got this license, I've been collecting their line of WWE Elite Flashbacks for the past several years and I knew they would do a great job.

That Thrash N' Throw Rex is one of my favorite toys ever. I wish I was a kid again just so I could get full enjoyment of it.
I've also got the Mosasaurus, Indoraptor, Chompin' Rex, and the Roarin' Super Colossal in the mail, as well as the JW Best Buy tin and custom cases for the Game Boy games.
Really hoping to get my hands on the Allosaurus, Baryonyx, Ceratosaurus, and Carnotaurus, as well as the Legacy Dilo and Spino when they release. Kind of hoping they release an electronic Spino and Indominus later down the road.
