JPToys - News

These times are uncertain, to say the least. And the same goes for our little collecting community, as this year's checklist shows. Of course, as always, this list doesn't come from official sources and is potentially subject to change (especially this year). But that should give you a good idea of what we can expect in 2021. This list will obviously continue to be updated, but in the meanwhile, enjoy! Credits goes to Toyopolis and Collect Jurassic for their great pictures!

Hey folks! How about some rumors for next year's line? Our forum member and friend Diamondback managed to gather a lot of intel from various resources, enough to start having an idea of what 2021 has in stores for us. Here are several facts he managed to uncover:

• Expected to debut with 2021's line second wave, the various sublines should see a rebranding: Attack Pack will be replaced by new Wild Pack, upgraded to Savage Strike-style gimmicks
• Savage Strike possibly discontinued--possibly Wild Pack is a merger, expensive Savage Strike gimmicks with cheaper Attack Pack decoes
• Roar Attack will replace Sound Strike
• Massive Biters replaced by similar-size new Mega Destroyer (rumored to include capture gear)
• Between the capture gear and the Nostalgia Trip Gallimimus deco, it's looking like Mattel is really trying to take inspiration from Classic Kenner
• Some dinos still listed under codenames at Universal insistence to avoid spoilers

Update: as you may know, the release of Jurassic World Dominion was postponed in 2022, thus forcing Mattel to totally reorganize next year's line-up. Our very own Diamondback, along with our friends over at Collect Jurassic managed to dig up juicy info about what to expect next year. And this new line, called Dino Escape, should definitely deliver! Much of what we already knew was confirmed by Collect Jurassic's report, but they revealed something quite interesting that had been hinted at by Mattel before: a new sub-line consisting of human/dino two-packs, an excellent way to release new human figures (which are usually slower sellers than dinosaurs) without risking to see them clogging up shelves (everyone remembers the dozens of Owens in their local store). Great move, Mattel! And of course, as usual, take all this with a grain of salt, as plans can always change in the toy industry, especially with the current Covid situation. Take care of yourself and your close ones, and enjoy!

Hey folks! Our friends at Jurassic Outpost, as well as Collect Jurassic, managed to uncover many pictures of Mattel's 2020 line-up, which will bear the name Primal Attack. So, it's time for a new checklist to help you keep track of next year's offerings. As always, we will keep updated this list when more items and pictures will be uncovered, but meanwhile, feel free to feast on these great new toys (along with a few repaints and repacks)! Oh yeah, and if you haven't already, don't forget to check out the new short film Battle At Big Rock, available on Youtube. It's just awesome.

Hey folks. We are very sad to report the passing of the creator of The Jurassic Park Collection Youtube channel, Prehistoric Land restaurant owner, JPToys forum moderator and long-time friend Astrid Vega, a.k.a Grincha, who left us on Friday, July 5, due to health reasons. A lively girl, an honest and cheerful person, she was an important part of the JP collecting community, and will be sorely missed. All our thoughts and prayers go to her family in these difficult times, but we know she will always be there, in the heart of every collector who had the luck to be in contact with her. Astrid, we'll all miss you...

Hey folks, it's been a while! As you know, the 2019 New York Toy Fair came and went, and even though it was rather underwhelming, considering the few new items that were shown, it didn't stop Mattel from stealing the show with their long rumored Indominus Rex being finally fully revelead! Besides, many people were expecting to see the giant Legacy Brachiosaurus shown during that show, but even though it wasn't present in "person", Mattel was quick to post online a picture of this magnificient beast in all of its glory, along with the good news that even if the Legacy line is a Target exclusive, they were going to try and release it worldwide in the regular line. Good news for us overseas collectors! You can see these new figures, both expected to be released during Fall, as well as many others, in our 2019 checklist right below. You know the drill, many of these figures being unconfirmed, this list may end up being slightly incorrect, but the vast majority of it shouldn't be. And you can find a doc. version of this checklist right here!. A huge thanks goes to our friends at Jurassic Outpost, as well as Collect Jurassic for many of these pictures. Check their website out! It's regularly updated with the hottest news and is a pleasure to use.

San Diego Comic Con exclusive

We'll keep updating this checklist with info and pictures as they become available, like last year. So stay tuned!

Hey folks! As most of you may know, the annual San Diego Comic Con is currently taking place. And of course, Mattel has a big stand in order to promote their Jurassic World line, showing most of what has been released so far, as well as a few yet-to-be-released figures, including a new 6 inches collector series, planned to be released during Fall 2019! This new line was totally unexpected, and raises a lot of hope from fans, as well as some fears that, by splitting the line, Mattel may make the same mistake as Hasbro for their Star Wars line, and lower the overall quality of their brand, especially the 3 3/4" main line. But we need to remember that Mattel definitely isn't Hasbro (the 2018 line speaks for itself), and Mattel representatives were quickly to reassure fans by explaining that this new collector line would be rather small and that the main focus will remain on the historical 3 3/4" line. So, let's keep our hopes up, and marvel at the first three figures revealed: Owen Grady, Blue, and fan-favorite Ian Malcolm from the first JP movie:

But of course, Mattel didn't stop at this reveal, and gave us sneak-peeks at what kind of treats await us for 2019, and trust us, this line shows no sign of slowing down. We'll of course have new human figures to collect (a new Franklin Webb, pictured below, was shown, and there was even a small hint at a potential John Hammond figure), and they confirmed that we'll see 16 new dinosaur species, including a Styracosaurus (a 3D representation was shown, and you can see the figure itself in our "2019 line-up leaked" article), as well as silhouettes of two new full-sized sauropod (unlike JP3's Brachiosaurus or Chaos Effect's Amargospinus): an Action Attack-sized Amargasaurus, as well as, after 25 years of waiting, a Brachiosaurus figure, which appears to be around 2 feet tall and 3 feet long! Yup, you read that right! And if that wasn't enough, word on the street has it that we should be seeing species like Parasaurolophus, Coelurus, Dracorex, Rhamphorhynchus, Plesiosaurus, and of course the Indominus Rex. Better starting to organize your shelves in order to make space for all these new critters!

Hey folks! While Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is slowly seeing release around the globe, for those who didn't have the opportunity to see it yet, is there a better way to spend time than by reading the first ever book about the various Jurassic Park/World toylines and collectibles, written by Belgian collector (and personal friend) Kristof Thijs? This 96 pages book goes through the whole Kenner/Hasbro era (from 1993 to 2016), with chapters focusing on the main lines and including full-color pictures and many details about these lines we all love. A definitive must-have for every JP collector or fan around the globe, strongly recommended by yours truly.

The Jurassic Park dinosaurs were unleashed on the world in 1993. Just like the flock of Gallimimus swarming over the plains of Isla Nublar, the movie took the world by storm, making it the highest grossing movie of its time. A popular toy line by Kenner was released along with the movie, followed by many other products bearing the Jurassic Park logo and JP initials. Store shelves were filled with action figures, dinosaur models and hundreds of other products, from bedsheets to potato crisps. Between 1997 and 2015, three more Jurassic Park movies were released, each with their own distinctive toys and collectibles, each time bigger, better and with more teeth. Jurassic Park Collectibles spares no expense in taking you back in time to the early 90s for a nostalgic twenty-five year time travel through the history of collecting Jurassic Park. Hold on to your hats for a collection 65 million years in the making.

Kristof Thijs's book can be bought now on the publisher's site: Amberley Publishing, or if you're a bit patient, will be released on Amazon on 1st August. Don't miss out, and stay tuned!
