MCFARLANE INTERESTED IN JP?

For years we've wondered if Todd McFarlane (Aliens, Sportspicks, Dragons) had any interest in producing a JP themed line or perhaps a generic dino line in general. Well both of those questions were posed to Todd on his "Toddcast". The first by our very own 'Thorondor 33'. Here's what he had to say:
- I heard rumours of a Monsters of Universal series. If this is true, what are the chances of seeing Jurassic Park figures? Thanks!
"Rumors from who, Joe? I don't even trust that guy. As for Jurassic Park figures, Hasbro has the master license locked down, but we're looking into different angles on this one."
- Would you ever consider making a dinosuar line? After seeing the brilliant work achieved on the dragons I would love to see a dinosaur line done in the same scale etc. I know there's alot of fellow boardies who like the idea of a dinosaur line too.
"My son Jake loves dinosaurs so I've got that idea being suggested several times each week in my own house! I have tried to incorporate some of the dinosaur traits and looks in our Dragons line."
So there's the scoop from THE man himself as only JPtoys.com can bring you. We still don't have anything concrete but it's nice to hear that they (McFarlane) are exploring "other angles". As always, stay tuned to this space for further updates. Finally today, I wanted to mention that we're celebrating our 6th anniversiary here at JPT this month. Time just continues to fly on by...thanks for coming along for the ride!
