JPToys - News

Very interesting, yet unconfirmed, news from long-time forum member Jaymz, from the UK. Here's the scoop:

Being bored today I scanned through the computer database at work and stumbled upon some interesting Jurassic Park toy info.

All information on the screen indicates (To me at least) that they're new, well... It's Hasbro so I'm guessing JP/// repaints again, but they come up as 2009 GLOBAL EXCLUSIVE.

Because I'm kind, I'm gonna give you guys all the info the computer gave me.

*Jurassic Park Electronic Dino Asst.

UPC - 5010994454302

*Jurassic Park Deluxe Dino & Figure

UPC - 5010994454296

*Jurassic Park Basic Dino 2 Pack Asst.

UPC - 5010994454289

£6.99

Yeah, they all sound familiar to what we've already seen in the Other JP/// repaint lines, I know. But then I came across THIS!

*Jurassic Park Deluxe Electronic T Rex

UPC - 5010994454319

1 In Packet

£59.99

Yes, thats £59.99 for a T Rex figure and it comes one per box, this thing is gonna be huge!

And forum member Dutchallosaur dug a bit, and added this juicy bit of info:

I called the German Toys 'R' Us Head Office, it turns out they WILL arrive in all German stores. The woman on the phone estimated they'll arrive in JUNE this year. And she saw all 4 things in her system!

Of course, we'll keep you updated as more info (or pictures) are available. So, stay tuned, guys!

So, it's finally confirmed. We have a new Jurassic Park toy line to drool over! Steve, ActionFigs.com Editor-In-Chief, recently got his hands over two publicity shots, both loose and packaged of the first Dino Battlers two-pack: Triceratops vs. Tyrannosaurus Rex. You can see both pictures over here: http://www.actionfigs.com/index.php?categoryid=61&p2_articleid=3023.

So, yes, they're indeed JP3 toys repaints, but we've got to admit that the new packaging is definitely striking, and much better than the last JP: Dinosaurs lines. It's very clear that Hasbro has put some time over this new line, so let's hope the rest won't disappoint!

Wow, we only have the time to post the news about these new JP2K9 pictures that the folks over at Actionfigs.com added several new ones on their website! So, we now know what the two other Dino Trackers sets look like, and also can lay our eyes upon the new electronic JP3 repaints: the Battle Growlers! So, make sure to take a look at Actionfigs.com to have a full-quality look at these brand new zany JP toys!

Yup, you read it right: Jurassic Park 2K10. Of course, for the time being, these are only rumors, but still, from what we know, 2010 is shaping up to be a great (if expensive) year for Jurassic Park figures collectors! Here's the juicy bit: a few days ago, a reliable source revealed that there are few new sculpts that have been worked on for the next JP toy line, which should be released in 2010. Yes, new sculpts! Of course, for privacy reasons, he couldn't reveal which dinosaurs are going to appear in this new line, but he could still tell us that the line isn't just repaints and the new sculpts will be VERY easy to spot amidst the many repainted older figures, or that there will be plenty of new dino figures as well as (much improved) new humans, but that although the new figures are vastly superior to what has come out in the past, they could still be more accurate. And to the questions about the presence of new vehicles: "However I can answer this question, though I don't want to give away too much. Let just say it is a full line of toys- everything you would expect from a Hasbro boy's toy line. ". Excited yet? I know I am.

In other news, we recently could settle the brown/orange T-Rex debate about the JP2K9 Trike/T-Rex 2-pack. It is indeed a true variation, and not just a prototype/released figure matter. Both versions can be found in the US and in Europe, so, variation hunters, you know what to do.

And, finally, much to everyone's surprise, it appears that Papo released a new dinosaur: the Oviraptor. It was found by forum member Macularius on a french website called Eveil Et Jeux. Forum moderator Dutchallosaur took her chance, ordered one, and recently received it. A picture of it can be found on this toy's new page. Enjoy!

Hey folks! It's been a while since our last update, but trust us, this one is huge. We are pleased to present you the first pictures of the Jurassic World toy line, by Hasbro! Still, a little disclaimer first.

These images were not leaked from any internal sources from or related to Hasbro or any of its affiliates. All content was shared with us from public sources. We support Universal completely and would not leak anything that was confidential intentionally and we support the film maker's wishes as well! This is why you'll see some items blurred out in these pictures. When they will be publicly shown at Toy Fair, for example, we will make sure to share them with you. But meanwhile, you don't want to spoil yourself too much, right?

Also, it's important to know that these are only preproduction items, and therefore are bound to change or be upgraded by Hasbro before their release. So, true, some of them look rather crude, but we should wait until pictures of the final products are released before jumping to conclusions.

First, here's the latest listing of what we know should be released in this line, along with their planned prices (always good to know how much we're all going to have to save up in order to get these goodies). Note that the items in bold are the ones we currently have pictures of. So yup, there's still a lot that is to be revealed:

Jurassic World Mega Strike T-Rex - B2875 - $34.99
Jurassic World “Bad Boy” Indominus Rex - B1276- $34.99
Jurassic World T. rex- B0537 - $29.99

So, as you can see, there is a lot planned, way more than for the JP3 line, for example. And yup, after years of waiting, an adult Ankylosaurus, a Ceratosaurus, and more important, no repaints from the previous JP lines! A big thanks goes to our members ChrisLikesDinos and AnonymousContributor for managing to dig up all these juicy infos! Of course, that's only a partial reveal, but there's a lot more waiting! Indeed, we're in for a treat this year! And in the name of the whole JPToys staff, I wish you a (late) Happy New Year! Stay tuned!

Hey folks! It's been a while, but in the JP/JW toy collecting world, a lot happened! Since last update, TV spots and trailer for Jurassic World were released, toys and exclusives were discovered, and yup, the first JW figures are starting to see the shelves all over the world! So, indeed, there's a lot of controversy about the quality (or lack of, in some cases) of this new line, but hey, after years of drought, it's great to see new life being injected in our little collecting world! And meanwhile, here at JPToys, we're currently working under wraps in order to add news JW sections, as well as a few other surprises. So, sorry for the lack of updates, but it's for the best, as they say!

For today's news, though, we have a few interesting pictures to show you! First, Hasbro revealed the first repaints of the JW line, and... let's say that the colors are surprising (imagine if they had shown that on April 1st?). The new Stegoceratops is okay, but that Rex looks like Mountain Dew bottles were the only beverage available in its paddock. Thankfully, the packaged versions of the Ceratosaurus and the new Dilo make up for that. Enjoy!

So, stay tuned for our future updates! You won't be disappointed!

Hey folks! Today, we present you our new section, the dinosaur Repaints section! Ever wondered how many times some figures have been repainted? Want to compare the repaints to the original? Head over to our new section and see pictures of every repaint released so far. Always interesting to see how a different paintjob can change a figure. A huge "Thank you" goes to old-time forum member Stitch for taking the time to take all these pics for you to enjoy!

Also, as you may know, the last Jurassic World figures have recently been released, putting an end to this line. But what's next, you may ask? Well, nothing concrete yet, but several rumors are mentioning a 2016 line called "Jurassic World Hybrids" (no, nothing to do with the infamous JP Dinosaurs Hybrids line released many years ago). So far, nothing is known about this new line, but considering the big success of this years's line, it's no wonder Hasbro wants to continue to surf on the Jurassic World wave. We'll see if it's a good or a bad thing!

So, enjoy this new section, and stay tuned for more info as soon as we uncover it!

Hey folks! Remember our last news about the probable future of the JP line? Well, the cat is out of the bag, with the reveal of Jurassic World Hybrid's line listing! This was revealed by forum member and store superviser Miller23time, who found in his store's UCP list what we can expect for next year (which was later confirmed by our staff member Chrislikesdinos). It is unknown if this list is complete or if more items will be revealed, but until then, here we go!

Jurassic World Alpha Cycle and Hybrid Raptor Pack -$19.99 - UPC 63050946452 (Alpha Cycle? Would this mean a long overdue Owen figure?!)

Hey folks! As you may know, the 2016 New-York Toy Fair is currently being held, and yup, the Dino Hybrid (this line's official name) line was officially presented by Hasbro, via a press release and prototypes of most of this new series. There you go for the full report (credits goes to 16bit.com for the use of their pictures)!

Inspired by Jurassic World, one of the biggest global blockbusters of all time, and the mobile game from Ludia, comes the next evolution of one of the most successful and popular franchises in movie history: Dino Hybrid.

A terrifying and imaginative new development, Dino Hybrid further evolves the genetic enhancements of these ferocious and astonishing creatures. With high detail, photo-real colors, sharper claws, and, of course, more teeth, Dino Hybrid will unleash genetically modified breeds of new dinosaurs that will roam, swim and fly into the world of imagination.

New for 2016, Hasbro introduces a line of ferocious hybrid dinosaur figures that is sure to engage fans of all ages in prehistoric adventures! With the introduction of our predatory Pteramimus, cunning Carnoraptor, massive Stegoceratops and the astonishing Dilophosaurus Rex, play will never be the same.

Dino Hybrid will satisfy Jurassic lovers everywhere as they excitedly await summer 2018, when executive producer Steven Spielberg and stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard return for Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s JURASSIC WORLD SEQUEL.

There you have it! For a quickly thrown together line, there's a lot to like! Even though it mainly consists of retools and repaints, you can see some ameliorations (paint jobs, for example) when compared to last year's Jurassic World series. And we finally got a human figure! That set would have been a killer when the movie was released, but we're sure it'll still fly off the shelves! So, enjoy, and stay tuned as we uncover more info and pictures!

Hey folks! What a crazy week-end, heh? And it's not over yet! After the reveal of Mattel's awesome new line, here's a much needed checklist of everything known or rumored to be released this year. This list focuses on Mattel's 3"3/4 offerings, and thus doesn't include their other lines like Matchbox, Imaginext, or miscellaneous items and sub-lines. But trust us, with over one hundred items planned, there's more than enough here to feast your eyes upon. Each figure or set includes its planned release wave (W1 being mid-april, W2 = summer and W3 = fall) and production number. Of course, since many of these figures are only rumored, this list may end up being slightly incorrect, but the vast majority of it shouldn't be. We also included pictures of what was currently shown, included boxed shots when available. Credits goes to Jurassic Outpost's very own Chris Pugh, Toyark, and La Boutique Du Dinosaure for their great pictures! Also, for those interested, here is a .doc version of this checklist.

My buddy Dan came through once again with a response from Hasbro regarding the new toys. Since I pretty much agree with Dan's response to what Hasbro had to say, I'll just let it speak for itself. Here's his e-mail with Hasbro's respnose in yellow: Interesting news today. While reading some posts on the IngenNET boards, I read a guy who had a theory that maybe there were more playsets coming out, and that the Raptor Attack playset was connectable to some other ones. I decided to check it out. I asked if there were more, and why the Raptor Playset is made up of old repaints. Here's their reply: "Thank you for contacting us. That is the only playset scheduled at this time. The repaints were done in order to keep the cost down. We appreciate your interest. Lois Consumer Affairs Department" I dunno about you, but I'm kinda mad at this. First, do they really expect collectors of JP merchandise to not know that the playset is made of repaints? And "to keep the cost down?" Why, so they can charge $50 for more fence pieces in the cynical hope that people will buy the same stuff twice? Maybe Hasbro doesn't realize it, but I for one would be willing to pay $50 for something new and cool, like the TLW Electronic Trailer. However, I refuse to pay that much for something I could dig out of my closet FOR FREE. I plan to write a letter of protest to Hasbro. This is completely stupid. The figure resizing I can take (and I can even like), but this response was too much.

Have you wondered recently about those Hasbro two packs listed on Amazon.com's website? Well our good friend Dan J. decided to do a little investigating on his own. Here's his e-mail to Hasbro and then their respnose: Hello Hasbro Consumer Affairs Associate, While on Amazon.com I found three listings for dinosaur sets that include 2 dinosaurs per set: Spinosaurus/Pteranadon, T-Rex/Dilophosaurus, Raptor/Triceratops. Are these continuations of the Jurassic Park 3 line? Will they be repaints, or all new figures? Also, will there be any more Jurassic Park 3 humans/dinos/playsets, and if so, what will they be? I would truly like to know. Please write back (no form letters please) soon, and I look forward to your response. Sincerely, -Dan Suggested Answer --------------------------------------------------------------- At 10/03/2001 11:35 AM we wrote - Thank you for contacting us. There have been repaints and some new items. We do not have information available on what will be in the 2002 line. Lois Consumer Affairs Department Thanks to Dan for looking in to this and we'll be sure to pass along any other details as they become available.

Since Saturday most of us have had some time to collect our thoughts on "Series 2". Could we have a new series on our hands or could this just be a bunch of re-paints from wave one & two? Theses are some of the many questions being pondered right now so I thought it would be fun to post some member reactions from our forums. Here's some of what's being said: Posted by Mr_Goodbytes: "Not all of them will be repaints. I bet it will be like JP series 2 was. Some repaints and a lot of cool new ones. Also, the 2 packs won't all be repaints. There are 4 Spinosaurs and 2 Rexs listed, but there were only 2 Spinos and 1 Rex." Posted by BlueWillow: I hate to say it, but I have this feeling we're all going to be majorly dissappointed.

So as you can see the opinions are pretty much split down the middle right now. Some people think this is nothing but a bunch of re-paints while others think it may be a mixture of both. We shall see but I just wanted to put it out here and let you get a feeling as to what other collectors are thinking. Remember to keep checking back for updates because we'll post any new information as quickly as possible.

I'm not really sure if this is a new series or just another line of JP toys but nonetheless, Hasbro has finally updated the JP3 section of their site with pictures of this series/line! The new pictures include: Artic Spino/Stego (2 pack), Desert Spino/Raptor (2 pack), Swamp Spino/T-rex (2 pack), Volcanic T-Rex/Raptor (2 pack) and my personal favorite so far, the Ultra Canyon T-Rex. Don't get too excited though, because it looks as if all of them will be repaints. I do think they did a great job on some of the paint jobs while others (like the Desert Raptor) just look plain hideous! There is a bit of good news though, if you look closely at the pics you'll notice that we once again have collector cards with our JP toys! Kudos to Hasbro for that. You can check out all of the new pictures in our JP3 section or head on over to the JP3 section at Hasbro.com and check them out for yourselves. Hasbro still has about 4 more pictures to show us so stay tuned to JPTC and we'll keep you updated as more pictures/info. becomes available. (Thanks to everyone for the heads up!)

Thanks to our eagle eyed forum member, Mr_Goodbytes for pointing out that the new CamoXtreme pictures have been completely removed from Hasbro's website. Does this mean that they have decided to do away with the line all together? Well, I for one surely hope not but I know there are those of you out there that would take this as great news. Stay tuned to JPTC for all the latest details. *Update*- Mr_Goodbytes did a little more checking into this for us and here's what he found out: "Thank you for contacting us. There are no end dates on the product line at this time but there is no announced product for 2002. We will know more after February" Notice it says After February, the U.S. Toy Fair is in February. So, maybe they are waiting until they see how well the toys are recieved at Toy Fair. This means that we could possibly have more repaints, and new molds!!! This whole thing just keeps getting stranger and stranger. Mr_Goodbytes couldn't be more right, this is a very strange situation. Either way it looks like we may have a while to wait until we see any new JP toys.

Thanks to the over 90 people that voted in our last poll in which we asked your thoughts/opinions on the new CamoXtreme line. The response from everyone was pretty much in favor of with 41% claiming they're the best repaints yet and %26 saying they're o.k. The new poll question still involves CamoXtreme but this time we want to know which 2-pack you're most looking forward to owning. Please vote and let your opinions be heard!

It looks like there wasn't any mention of the new line at this year's toy fair that according to a Hasbro press release. Although not all hope is lost as AcroIguana reminds us that "CamoXtreme is a rather small line with nothing but repaints, so it isn't all that major, since JP3 isn't even the "in" movie anymore amongst the general public. To the best of my knowledge, JPD wasn't put in the toy fair, and that was a bigger line then CamoXtreme." Stay tuned for more updates. (Thanks Mr_Goodbytes)

Wow, did this ever take me by surprise! After many months of petitions it looks like Kenner & Hasbro have finally decided to listen to the consumers! From what I know, the line is already in production and should be out sometime later this fall. The line will carry all of our old favorites including the Carnotaurs & Gallimimus...click here for more details! (April fools! )

We've certainly had our fair share of JP merchandise liscense updates over the last year or so, almost all confusing to say the least. Well forum member 'crex' (who also happens to be Chris - see 10/2 story below) recently had one of his staffers inquire directly to the Star Wars team at Hasbro to get some sort of definitive answer on just what is really going on. Here's what he had to say:

"Since the summer the Star Wars team @ Hasbro has been allowing the SW Collecting sites to submit 3 questions each week. So after a few weeks of doing this, I decided to see if they would bite on a JP question. Turns out they still have the license and do plan on future releases BUT they are repaint exclusives to KB. Now obviously, the findings at KB months ago support that.

If the license ran out, someone would pick it up and announce it. And the exclusive thing has been following Hasbros MO lately with the repaints. There has been plenty of repaints with Star Wars and thats a license thats a year removed from a movie year, 6 months before the 30th anniversary build up and the upcoming TV shows. A license like JP wouldnt make fiscal sense to invest money for new product when no significant news is out there in terms of movie announcements and they can still get some return from JP with small scale repaints."

A big thanks to Chris again for that update. So in short, we can expect more repaints down the road until JP4 rolls around. I'm sure that's what most expected anyway but hopefully this report can serve to clear matters up just a bit. Also worth noting today is a set of JP3 prototypes that recently surfaced on ebay and were purchased by forum moderator Raptoralpha. He was kind enough to take several new pics along with descriptions which can all be found in this thread on our forum.

First off, we here at JPtoys.com want to send our thoughts & prayers to those in New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama that had there lives literally ripped apart by hurricane Katrina. The amount of devistation is simply astonishing. Many people are wanting to help out and probably the best thing you could do is to donate what you can to the American Red Cross. By clicking on the link it will take you to a page where you can donate anywhere from $10-$500. Ten bucks may not sound like much but at this point, every little bit helps.

The big toy news today comes from forum moderator Stitch who was able to track down these new Deluxe Dinos for us at a KB store:

Other than the hideous micro dinos (tric doesn't look too bad), these deluxe versions are definitely top notch repaints. So be on the look-out for them soon at a toy store near you!
(9/6 - UPDATE) - Thanks to 'DemonCarnotaur' for the back shot!

In an update to yesterday's story, 'robotassassin' and 'spinosaur122' were kind enough to pass along pics of all the new JPD3 micro-dino 2-packs:

Overall I'm just not too impressed. Repaints are one thing but excluding the Triceratops (only because it's a new mold), these new micro dinos are just plain uninspiring and hideous. The days of "well at least we're getting something new" are long over IMO. They were even careless enough to label the Stegosaurus a "Spinosaurus" on the front of the Raptor/Stego box (unless of course it's an error). They probably thought we'd never notice huh? Silly JP toy fans. Hasbro should be ashamed, we as JP fans deserve more!

Jumping right into things, we have 2 new diorama galleries from 'dilo2' and 'Chuckles'. There's over 40 new dioramas between them so be sure to check those out. We aslo have a new Collection gallery from 'Mr. Pilkington' to pass along. And finally today we have a new poll question up concerning your thoughts on the 2 new JPD3 repaints.

In another JPtoys.com exclusive, we are proud to give you your first look at the 2 new JPD3 repaints courtesy of forum member "JPobsessed"...enjoy!

JPobsessed mentioned that each deluxe figure was $14.97. Based on the back of the box, it looks like we'll have much more to collect in the coming weeks/months. For sure we see 3 new regular dinos - T-Rex w/micro Triceratops, Velociraptor w/micro Pteranodon and a Triceratops w/micro velociraptor. We also see at least 3 new 2-packs, with a 4th listed (Pteranodon & Compy) but not shown. We'll be sure to bring you more details as they become available so stay tuned here to JPtoys.com for all the latest!

There's been some discussion on our forum recently about 2 possible new JPD2 repaints. Forum member "yankeetrex" came across them at his local KB store and had this to say:

"I was at the Freehold Raceway mall today for the sports card collectible show, i stopped off in KB toys and to my surprise there were 2 new repaints of JP Dino's. One was the JP3 Deluxe Rex in black with red stripes, and the other was the Alpha Pteradon(Sorry for spelling) in a greenish color and the beak was a semi baby blue color."

Unable to take any pictures to this point, forum moderator Stitch contacted that same KB store for more details:

"KB Toys: "Thanks for calling KBs where you can save half off on all orange sticker items, can I help you?"

Stitch: "Yes, do you have any Jurassic Park toys?"

KB Toys: "Uhm, I believe we do. Yes, we have quite a few."

Stitch: "Ok, do you have a black dinosaur with red striping patterns?"

KB Toys: "Well, there's alot, like 12 different kinds. So if you wanna come in and take a look."

Stitch: "Well, I'm in Seattle."

KB Toys: "Oh... Ok, hold on a second, I'll check for you." *leaves for a bit longer then the last person I spoke with* *returns* KB Toys: "Yes, we have a black Tyrannosaur with Red stripes. It looks like he has a cut in his side where he got bit or something. And then we have the flying one. Pteranodon. It's in like two shades of green with a blue head. They're both $14.99 and they make noise." *hears distinct Alpha Ptera screeching over phone*

He went on to explain they came in about 2 weeks ago. He was given the sku number from the packages- 850396
So, these are indeed the real thing. He was told there were pictures on the back of the package of other dinosaurs in the line, but I don't know if they're new ones or the same JPD2 figures that came out a year ago."

With this confirmation, we'll hopefully be able to post pictures soon. In the meantime, be sure to follow this thread on the forum for all the latest details.

Forum member Jurassic_Jaws recently inquired to Hasbro about the Young T-Rex and Stego repaints that popped up on eBay recently (see 8/24 story). Here was their response:

"These items are from our Jurassic Park line and are sold exclusively at KayBee Toy and Hobby stores. Please visit your local KayBee Toy store or visit their web site at http://www.kbkids.com to check for availability."

This is the most concrete response we've received yet but as we all know, Hasbro customer reps don't always have the same stories. Only time will tell so be sure to stay tuned. Speaking of JP:D 2, we finally have our first reviews of the new series in. They were submitted by Rob6027 & Jurassic_Jaws. Both reviews take a look at the Cyclops Raptor repaint. Also while in the review section, you may notice that we've now moved all of the reviews over to our server from the old Geocities site. Yes indeed, the last connection we had to JPTC is now gone...*sniff*

All of us here at JPToys just wanted to take the time to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and of course a happy & prosperous new year. I personally want to thank each & everyone of you loyal readers out there that continue to make us the most trusted site for JP toys news & reviews. You guys & gals are the best.

We don't have much to pass along today other than a new poll question and a new review of the JPS1 Tim Murphy from first time reviewer Robert. BTW, our last poll results were probably the closest we've ever had here. The question was "Would you be in favor of more JPD2 repaints?". Close to 300 people responded and 42% wanted something new (no more repaints), 40% wanted something new no matter what it was and 18% were undecided. So in short, the majority of JP toy fans what something new - no more repaints! Are you listening Hasbro? I doubt it but you can't say we didn't try to tell ya! On that note, we'll see ya next year!

Various movie websites, including comingsoon.net and hollywoodreporter.com recently revealed some very interesting news: Spielberg and Universal are talking about JPIV! Moreover, both parties have confirmed it.

Both Universal, which released the trilogy, and Spielberg's camp stress that no one has been engaged to write a script and that the discussions have been purely exploratory.

This distinguishes the news from all previous rumors of JPIV. This time it's confirmed! And while it's not yet beyond exploratory discussions, it gives hope that the JP fans may finally get what they have been waiting for: a worthy new movie in the series. And a new movie, also means new toys. And please, Hasbro: no repaints this time.

Stay tuned for more updates!

So the rumors are true: we are getting toys for JP:3D this year! Forum member DemonCarnotaur was able to find the first few articles as they are in the system of Toys "R" Us:

Dino battler 297221 $7.99
Dino tracker 272188 $10.99
Growler 295277 $19.99
Battle pack 295334 $29.99

So far no pictures, but the names remind us of the JP2009 toy line. Although a lot of dedicated fans were hoping for more toys, the news was also received with understandable skepticism, since the majority of the fans has a very poor opinion of the toys first released for JP3 and repainted a million times afterward. The main question now is: 'Are we getting repaints AGAIN?' Only time will tell. It's also unclear if the toys will be Toys "R" Us exclusives again. Stay tuned for more news!

Thank God, our prayers were answered. We do get (some) new sculpts for the first time in many years. So far it seems that the unreleased JP2011 Allosaurus and JP2011 Pachyrhinosaurus will actually be released! The rest of the line will likely contain of repaints, although there is a rumor it would also include the unreleased JP2011 A.W.E. Strikers.

Unfortunately, not all the news was good. The line seems to be Toys "R" Us only, as well as USA and Canada only. Good news for all the fans living there, bad news for the fans living abroad. Stay tuned for more news!
