JPToys - News

From the same seller who brought to surface the prototypes from last week, a few prototypes recently showed up on eBay: several urethane prototype of the Coelophysis' limbs (from the first Jurassic Park series), and a primed sample of a Jaws Jackson figure. They respectively sold for $53.77 and $102.50, which shows that such items don't go for much these days. However, I can understand people not getting crazy about a handful of limbs, even if they're a nice example of what happened during the production of these toys... Thanks goes to forum regular Raptorbite for the heads up! And in other news, we have a new collection to show. Guillaume, from France, was kind enough to send us pictures of his wonderful collection, so feel free to take a look at it on the collections section.

So, not too surprised? Yes, take your breath. No, you're not mistaking, it's still the JPToys you have known for years. Only better.

Today happens to be our 7th anniversary. And was there a better way to commemorate than to change the whole website? It took hundreds of hours of work, but we can now present you JPToys V3.0! The whole website has been redone, and the old server which caused many problems in the past has been replaced with a new, more reliable one. As you can see, there are many changes and new sections to the menu. Here's a list of what you can now find on your favorite site for JP merchandise-related news!

• JPToys: This is where you can find infos about the website, the team behind JPToys, or the archives section with the brand new "News Finder". Yup, you won't have to browse through hundreds of old news in order to find that news posted years ago. The News Finder engine will find it for you!
• Toy Database: Here, you can find everything about the many toy lines released by Kenner and Hasbro. Every toy now has its individual page (yes, even prototypes) with pictures, a price guide, and a fan-made review.
• Collectible Database: Wanna see what else was released about, or inspired by the JP franchise? Discover our new, long-requested Die-Cast section? It's all there!
• Fan's Corner: The JP community has been around for years. But what have they been up to? Discover custom-made toys, amazing collection pictures, or let the kids have fun in our Coloring and Games section.
• JPToys Files: Here, you will find all the data we found over the years about Jurassic Park toys. Looking for an unusual info, wanting to have a look at rare catalogs full of unproduced goodness? It's all here!

Feel free to browse the new website, and discover the new sections we've added for your viewing pleasure! And make sure to drop by the forums to tell us your impressions about this new website!

Hey there! Today, we present you much needed updates on the website. First, you'll be able to see the two 2013 entries in the ever-growing Papo prehistoric animals collection: the Carnotaurus, and the Dimetrodon! Papo definitely didn't disappoint this year, and leave us, as usual, expecting for their next gems.

Another wanted update was the inclusion of the latest "JP: 3D" line on the website. Considering that most of this line is virtually identical to the Jurassic Park 2009 line, we decided to include them in that section. The repacks have been included in their "older brothers" pages, as seen here, for example, and the two new sculpts have been given their own pages in the Dinosaurs section. Enjoy!

And in other news, we present you, on behalf of our very own Anonymous contributor, never-seen-before concept art for some of Kenner's potential ideas for further expanding the infamous Lost World toy line. You can find a lot more information about this "lost" line, as well as several sketches, on this thread in our forums. So, yup, more than 15 years later, there's always some new info to be discovered about our favorite toy line!

This is it, the end of an era. For the first time since the release of the first Jurassic Park, future JP toys won't be produced by Hasbro (who absorbed Kenner in 2000) anymore, but by Mattel...

Back on Monday 18th, everyone was taken aback by an announcement by Brian Goldner, CEO of Hasbro, as reported by CNBC, as you can read here:

“We have had a many year relationship with Universal; we will no longer handle ‘Jurassic Park’ because they are unable to arrive at a mutually beneficial financial arrangement on that brand.”

Even though rumors of a Raptor Squad and a classic JP line planned for 2017 were starting to hit the web, and even reports of Hasbro already starting to work on the Jurassic World 2 line, things would not go as expected. The main reason for this license loss was apparently much lower sales on the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2015 (then again, when you see the very few new figures released and the overall quality of what was on the shelves back then, it could be expected). Still, while this came off as a surprise, many fans actually rejoiced when this was announced, which can easily be understandable when you look at the lackluster treatment of the JP brand by Hasbro for many years (some would say since 2001...).

And the very next day, an official announcement was made by Chris Sinclair, Mattel's Chairman and CEO:

We are honored that NBCUniversal chose Mattel to help bring the Jurassic World brand to life, and we look forward to developing multiple new lines of innovative, engaging toys and products. Spanning three decades of sustained worldwide popularity, few entertainment properties have so successfully captured the collective imagination of millions of fans around the world, and we are delighted to be a part of this truly evergreen franchise.

Vince Klaseus, President of NBC-Universal Brand Development, also spoke about the matter:

We are looking forward to collaborating with Mattel and broadening Jurassic World products worldwide. The appetite for the franchise globally is stronger than ever with consumers wanting more. Mattel's global support, creativity and category approach to expand our franchise makes them the best choice to partner with for this brand, bringing innovation, technology and a host of new ways to play. Jurassic World is more than awe-inspiring blockbuster films, it's a brand that has been reaching consumers for more than twenty years on everything from video games, toys and apparel, to theme park attractions and live events. Our focus for the franchise is to continue to collaborate with best-in-class partners as we build and expand this iconic property into a mega-brand across our Universal platforms.

So there you have it: Mattel will inherit the JP license on July 2017, with their first products planned to hit shelves early 2018. Obviously, it's still too early to know what will happen with the current Dino Hybrid line (which currently only has three items released so far and is plagued with total lack of brand support and catastrophic distribution), and to the rumored Raptor Squad and Classic lines. Will Hasbro try to milk the license while they still own it? Time will tell... And as far as Mattel goes, while their previous offerings were hit or miss, their latest lines (Ghostbusters, DC Multiverse, ...) are mostly appreciated by toy collectors, and Mattel has an history of good relationship with fans and adult collectors (the Master of the Universe toy line comes to mind), so we think we can remain optimistic about what the future has in store for us, JP collectors. And we're sure that at least, they will realize that it's normal for a Velociraptor figure to have sickle claws...

Hey folks! Long time without any update (the joys of having a kid ), huh? But it was worth the wait, this one is potentially huge!

As we told you last time, Mattel inherited the Jurassic Park/world license from Hasbro, and revealed they were planning big things for the brand. Indeed, Jurassic Outpost managed to dig up what we can be expecting from Mattel, and if they're correct (and they're usually more than reliable), we're going to have the best Jurassic toy line since, at the very least, 1997 (The Lost World line)! Here's the full scoop:

Recently, Mattel held a showcase for vendors, licencors, and more where they showed off their in-development and upcoming lines. As you can imagine, Jurassic World was there – and from what we have heard, it was easily the biggest highlight of any Mattel offering. We’re going to avoid going into too deep into specifics, as certain items will spoil future surprises, including things about the new film.

However, this is the lay of the land for the upcoming Jurassic World toys from Mattel:

3 3/4″ HUMAN ACTION FIGURES ($10)

Yes, human action figures are back – they will be roughly 3 3/4″ tall, and in scale with past Hasbro offerings. They will follow the Kenner styling of including a small or hatchling dinosaur, and some gear/weapons. However, from our understanding the gear skews more towards collectors than play factor (as in Dr. Ian Malcolm includes a film accurate flare – not a net launcher) – and the toys have articulation that will surely please.

BASIC DINOSAUR FIGURES ($10)

The bread and butter of the line – the dinosaurs are back! Roughly 6″ long, these are comparable to the basic non-electronic dinosaurs of the Kenner toy lines (or the Bash & Bites from Jurassic World). Much like classic Kenner, these dinosaurs are not dressed with permanent mortal wounds, and have simple articulation tied to a basic action feature. One of my favorite bits of news: size of the dinosaurs are considered when choosing what type of toy to make. There will be no miniature adult Tyrannosaurs – it will focus on smaller species like Velociraptor, and Gallimimus.

ROARIVORES (ELECTRONIC DINOSAUR FIGURES) ($15)

Slightly larger than the basic dinosaur figures, these toys focus on electronic roars tied to a biting mechanism. They again do not have open wounds, and while they are not posed as neutrally as classic Kenner toys, they are less awkard than the Jurassic Park 3 offerings. Again, the size of the dinosaurs were considered when developing these toys – so at this time, there are no electronic Velociraptors, but rather species of a larger size will be focused on.

SUPER STRIKE DINOS (DELUXE DINOSAUR FIGURES) ($20)

Slightly larger than the electronic figures, these hearken back to the classic non electronic Kenner dinosaurs of the medium size. An example that was described to use was a Stegosaurus with a tail swinging action that was very Kenner in looks. However, it was apparently closer in size to the JP 2013 Dino Showdows Pachyrhinosaurs.

LARGE DINOSAUR FIGURES (PRICES VARY)

Yes, they have a Tyrannosaurus Rex (two in fact!) and we have heard both steal the show. We’re going to avoid describing them anymore, as they’re worth waiting for the official reveal to be surprised! But it’s worth noting that there are more than Tyrannosaurs in the large scale, and some figures use a “Real feel” latex/rubber, have action features, and electronic roars.

VEHICLES (PRICES VARY)

Not much to say other than they’re film accurate, look awesome, and are scaled to the human figures. Everything in this line is sized correctly, much like the classic Kenner toys. The classic Jurassic Park Jeep has a few details super fans are sure to LOVE!

MATCHBOX (PRICES VARY)

Gone are the fictional vehicles – they’re being replaced with small film accurate vehicles from all five films! Some include small dinosaurs, and the entire lineup was described as similar to the Micro Machines (but bigger) sold alongside The Lost World. This includes some very cool playsets based upon movie moments!

GAMES (PRICES VARY)

There will be games – including something tied to pivotal plot elements of Jurassic World 2!

VARIOUS ‘SMART’/ELECTRONIC TOYS (PRICES VARY)

Drones, remote control vehicles, and more! While a lot of these won’t be cheap, they do offer great modern play functionality.

Some key notes: Mattel’s first Jurassic World lineup will be called something similar to ‘Jurassic World: The Classic Collection’. This lineup is scheduled to hit stores late this year or early next year, and is mainly based upon the first Jurassic Park. While they boast film accuracy for all their items, it does seem to also borrow from Kenner by featuring dinosaurs never seen in the films.

Sometime early spring (mid April) in 2018 the Jurassic World 2 toys will begin to arrive in stores. Much like the classic Jurassic line, it boasts film accuracy and a multitude of figures and offerings. From there, the line should continue to populate shelves with new waves featuring figures from the latest sequel, or past films. There are apparently quite a few more classes/skus of toys from Mattel than those listed above, so there are plenty of surprises in store!

It’s worth noting that some of the basic dinosaur figures were described as slightly exaggerated looking, with proportions and poses that were more cartoony than realistic. Our hope is that between now and release, those items will be refined and perfected to better match their film counterparts (and proper realistic anatomical poses). Otherwise, we’re thrilled by what the line is slated to offer, and cannot wait to see photo’s from it – there are quite a few more surprises Mattel has up their sleeves, so stay tuned!

So there you have it! While of course we'll have to wait and see if this almost "too-good-to-be-true" new line is indeed as amazing as it is on paper, but one thing if for sure, Mattel fully understand what we, fans, have always wanted, something we have waited for so long from Hasbro, all in vain... The only downside is the last part about "slightly exaggerated looking" figures, but we'll remain hopeful until the first pictures start leaking. But in any case, as the saying goes, "good things come to those who wait". And it appears that the wait for a true Jurassic Park toy line is coming to an end, finally. Stay tuned, the next months will definitely be most exciting... A huge thanks to Jurassic Outpost for the scoop!

Hey folks! Today (well, yesterday) was the day JPtoys fans have been waiting for since 1997: we finally have a new toyline worthy of what Kenner did in the Lost World line, and dare I say it, a toyline that is better than the TLW line in many aspects. Bold statement, I know, but here, take a look at this small preview of what we can expect from this line:

Yup, what you seeing is real: giant Mosasaurus, 3" 3/4 figures (including, yes, an Alan Grant figure from the first movie), dinos in scale with the human figures, new vehicles (including a RC Gyrosphere), new species and older ones that definitely needed an update (I'm looking at you, '94 Gallimimus). This alone would have been a dream line when Hasbro owned the license. So, can you believe that this picture shows a very small part of what Mattel has in store for us, including a 3 feet long Super Colossal T-Rex, big vehicles, a classic line inspired by the first movie (the Alan Grant figure seen above comes from that line), an Herrerasaurus confirmed by Universal to be designed after the Telltale game version of this animal, obscure species never seen before in the various JP lines (Suchomimus, Protoceratops, Minmi, and many more), super-articulated figures (ball-jointed arms and legs on dinos, and an Indoraptor with over 15 points of articulation? Indeed!), an awesome packaging which pays homage to the first movie line, and many more? And to think word on the street has it that Mattel had to rush this line and couldn't spend as much time in Research & Development as they would have liked (hence the huge feet several figures sadly sport), we can only wonder what the following years will bring us, if this line is a success. And we're sure it will be.

As we mentioned above, a selection of items from this new line were shown yesterday during the Universal Pictures Toy Fair preview day event, where our good friend Chris Pugh, from Jurassic Outpost, was present and managed to take hundreds of pictures (which you can see on their Facebook page). He also uploaded a very cool video, which gives you an nice overview of what was shown:

Feeling the excitement yet? We know we do! After years of having to settle with sub-par quality toys and total lack of new ones for several years, we can say that Mattel is a true blessing for our small collecting world. And it's just the beginning... To give you an idea of how much Mattel is leaps and bounds beyond Hasbro, we uploaded Hasbro's (hopefully) last line in our database: the Dino Hybrid line. It speaks for itself...

Also, NY Toy Fair is just getting started, and many more new items will be shown in the following days. Stay tuned for our next article, which will be a complete checklist of every Mattel figure, with loose and boxed pictures when available. It will give you a sense of how large this new line is. Trust us, we're all going to be so broke...

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!

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! Jurassic World Dominion came and went, but things are far from slowing down for Mattel, with a new Dino Trackers (heh, where have we heard that before? ) line seeing release in 2023, with an onslaught of new and obscure species to add to your shelves, along with the continuation of the fan-loved Hammond Collection! What's not to love? What, more, you say? Well, how about a new line celebrating Jurassic Park's 30th anniversary with many throwbacks to the Kenner era (humans with dino hatchlings, real-feel skin, and more!)? Definitely a great time to be a JP/JW toy collector! As usual, we'll keep updating this checklist through the year, so keep coming back!

What a great day it has been here at JP TOYS CENTRAL! After being named site of the week by JP3 HQ, Kenner Toys has officially added the site to its JP toys links page. Be sure to visit their site at www.kennertoys.com or by using the link at the bottom of the page.

Wow, has it been a slow news week or what?! I usually try to stick with just JP toy & collectible news on this site but since it has been a very slow week, I decided to pass this along anyway. The poster (Click for a larger view) features the Rex and Spino about to go at it and right now can be yours for $6.95 with the buy it now option. If you're interested in bidding on this new poster, here's the link. In other site news we here at JPTC with your help are about to open a new Q&A section. Basically how it wiil work is you send your tough questions for the folks at Hasbro or Kenner to me and I will forward them to my good buddy Dan J. who will get the tough answers for you. If there's enough interest, I'll post the first set of Q&A in the coming weeks.

Here's a few interesting little prototype items that my buddy Dan J. stumbled upon at eBay. Here's the description according to the seller: "You are bidding at Hasbro Kenner Jurassic Park III Production action figure Test Shot Prototype , It around 4" tall complete all accessory and Weapon , No Trademark in his body." You can find the autcion by searching for "JP III" and right now the current price is set at $49.90 a piece. Bid with caution! For the other pics, make sure you check out the new Protoype area in the JP/// section.

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! )

In a bit of sad news to pass along today, Joesph Steiner, co-founder of Kenner Toys died Saturday in Cincinnati as a result of a heart attack that he had suffered on Thursday. He was 95 years old. Our best wishes go to his family.

Check out this cool ebay auction that apparently contains a presentation book full of conceptual art from the JP Chaos Effect line. Thanks to forum member 'raptorx85' for passing that our way.

Forum member Raptoralpha recently purchased a slew of Kenner Toy Fair catalogs and in them found some clearer CE shots and even some TLW pics we haven't seen yet. Among the most interesting of those is the once rumored Deinonychus with a tiger stripe design. Very nice to finally see that. Also included is a shot of our beloved Bull-Trex (in a much different deco than the original), Dieter Stark and the Dirt Bike with Carter. Please click on the thumbnails below for a larger view:

Thanks again to RA for passing those along. We certainly hope that you enjoy them. We also wish you and yours a very Mery Christmas and a happy holiday season!
*UPDATE 12/22* - Complete catalog scans of these new shots are now up in our download section for your viewing pleasure!

Check out this "old school" clip found by forum member 'musichead' on the popular video sharing site youtube. Clocking in at almost 6 minutes, it appears to be a marketing/promo reel for all of the then upcoming JP merchandise. Included are some really cool clips of some of those Kenner commercials we all so fondly remember. Ahh...the nostalgia!

Forum member 'Triceratops 123' recently posted a very interesting article (written by himself with help from an ex-Hasbro employee) that details just what went on in the days right before the doors closed at Kenner. This in turn lead to the eventual scale issues that we're all too familar with in the JP3 line. Here's what he had to say:

"It all starts with Chaos Effect. Sales are less than expected, and the Night Hunter series is cancelled because of this. The Jurassic Park series becomes "somewhat of a thorn in Hasbro's eye".

In 2000, Star Wars Episode One toys were overproduced. Sales were low and Hasbro had to downsize. The victim was the Kenner department in Cincinatti. 100 people were transferred, 400 were fired. Amongst these 400 was the Jurassic Park design team (not just JP, they also designed Batman amongst other toy lines) , who had just started the very early concepts for Jurassic Park///. Now that there wasn't a design team for Jurassic Park anymore, Hasbro assigned it to their Star Wars people, who scaled the humans to be in size with Star Wars figures, and made the style of the toys similar to the ones from Episode II.

This is, in a nutshell, why the scale and style is so different from 2001 onwards. The employee that I've had contact with is indeed one of the fired people, and he helped me on detailing the story and pointed out few mistakes on my account, but my research results were pretty much correct when I put them together."

So we can all blame it on George Lucas eh? Regardless of how it all came down, it does provide a nice behind the scenes look at just what was going on during that time. We hope to bring you more of these articles in the future and create a somewhat comprehensive look at the history of the Jurassic Park line.

It's finally here, one of the sections you've been waiting for. We've managed to get a hold of several Kenner toy catalogs featuring various Jurassic Park toys. After some painstaking labor - scanning, formatting, and indexing - we are proud to release over 100 images for your enjoyment. Visit this new section and check it out!

Here's an interesting item that forum moderator Stitch came across recently that some experienced collectors had never seen before. It's titled "Limited Edition Movie Collector Sheet" and features the front & backs of the JPS1 collector cards that were included with the individual toys. Pretty nifty huh?

Take a glimpse of what Kenner distributors saw prior to the toys being on the shelves. Joining our ever increasing Catalog Scan section are the 1997 Kenner Toy Fair Distributors Catalog and the 1997 Distributors Brochure. Most of the items from the catalog are pretty self explanatory, but I've never seen some of the items featured in the brochure. Have a look and see for yourself in our Catalogs section!

Happy New Year from the staff of JPToys. And it starts out with an awesome update: forum member scallenger contacted the artist who made the epic cards for Jurassic Park Series 1, Mr Brian Franczak. Mr Franczak was able to send us high-res scans of the cards themselves plus four scans of 'the making of'! Unfortunately the artwork itself was never returned to Mr Franczak, but make sure to download the set of artwork here, and join our forum discussion! Of course many thanks to scallenger for sharing this!
