JPToys - News

Forum regular PygmyAllosaurus came across an interesing article while browsing the "Toy Showcase" section of the December 2004 issue of Lee's Toy Review magazine. Here's what he had to say:

"I was shocked to see the Chaos Effect: Night Hunter line in the "Toy Showcase" section(which is where they show off prototypes & extremely rare pieces every month) of the December 2004 issue of Lee's Toy Review(it's #146). Not because I hadn't seen them before- there are pictures from a catalog on this website, but because they were pictures we don't have... packaged pictures. The pictures are quite tiny though, and before anyone asks I don't have a scanner or a digital camera. The caption underneath the pictures says: "Unreleased Jurassic Park Chaos Effect: Night Hunter Series. These are Hasbro product samples of the nixed last series of JP Chaos Effect figures; the Chaos Effect series went extinct on the cusp of the new millennium. No sales quotes have been recorded to date."

Of course this is something we're following up on so if some higher resolution pics do surface, we'll be sure to pass them along. BTW, be sure to stay tuned for tomorrow's update regarding the Diorama Contest.

The long awaited/requested 2nd JPToys.com Diorama Contest is officially underway! We have a total of 5 categories (Movie, Novel, Fiction, Diorama Story, Non-JP) for you to submit under. Only one entry per person per category and the entry deadline will be next Monday - Feb. 28th. Please use this thread on our diorama board to submit your entries. If you're not a member, it's very quick & painless to sign up (I promise) so please do so. Good luck to all the participants!

Just a couple of quick udpates to pass along today. We have a new diorama gallery from JurassicJared as well as a new custom 'Thrasher Spino' from Red Backrex. Be sure to check those out. Told ya it would be quick!

As the title suggests, our first item today is a new custom Horizon T-Rex from our good pal Bucketfoot-Al. Hey, that rhymed! Anyway, it's a very cool piece so be sure to check it out along with all of our other wonderful customs listed. We've also got 6 new dioramas from izartist and a new addition to Extinct's gallery which are now up for your viewing pleasure. Finally today, there's a new poll question up that should provide interesting results once all the votes are in.
