Ever since Hasbro apparently dropped the JP toy license in early 2003, our forum has been flooded with speculation on just who would get the license. McFarlane maybe? Palisades possibly? Well a few brave souls from our forum have dedicated themselves to finding some answers. They've already received a definte NO from the Palisades company and several other inquiries are on their way. One particular response from the McFarlane group turned out to be very interesting:

Dear Jeremy:

The Jurassic Park license is one that Todd has considered ~ however, the artist in him begs that he create a unique line of dinosaurs. Should McFarlane Toys release a dinosaur line, it will be a McFarlane original and a line of toys cooler than the movie.

Jenny D'Amore
Licensing Manager
McFarlane Toys

Okay, so that may not be the answer we were all hoping to hear but at least we can put that speculation to bed for now. We also got the juicy nugget about a possible non-JP dino line from McFarlane in the future.
