I mean that one's pretty gimmicky and all, I think the superior sculpt was the one with the fewest features. Look at this lad, he's handsome.

i'm not a fan of the evolution games, there's too much bullshit to do aside from looking at cool dinosaurs, and the theme park aspect feels tacked on. i like prehistoric kingdom as its closer to planet zoo gameplay, and doesn't use dumb movie designs. plus you get other prehistoric creatures aside from dinos.

The sculpts of a lot of the old toys used the same sculpts as the movies so the toys look more detailed and have better proportions. The NuToys just look like generic toys/action figures rather than models of dinosaurs from the films.

>>11804048
i dunno about dinos, you'll have to find them, should be multiple of them. in the adult colelctors market though you will get companies who make expensive as fuck, maybe huge ones. just avoid that unless you're rich. there's a middle ground between that and regular toystore stuff.

We have skin impressions from most of T-rex's body, so it either had no feathers, had some tufty feathers on the back of its neck or the top of its head, or only had feathers as a juvenile and lost them as it grew.

>>11804057
>tyrannosaur feathers in the big ol 26
get with the times unc, even the most diehard feather fags agree that at most Rex had a near invisible layer of cope peach fuzz on a what was very scaly(most likely featherless) animal.

As a Jurassicfag I put thousands of hours into JWE1 & 2, 2 felt like a fucking scam. I literally prefer 1 over 2 apart from several little QoL things. 2 is the same game just a little buggier and I guess has more building pieces and dinosaurs, barely, but that’s it. The water dinosaurs are purely cosmetic and don’t interact with each other or the environment or eat guests or anything. They just swim around doing idle animations and once in a while they do a feeding animation, like the mosa will leap out to eat a shark off its feeder.
I was hype for JWE3 especially because you can breed dinosaurs finally, but unlike a game like zoo tycoon or something for instance, where a baby animal or egg will just spawn next to the parent, in JWE3 you have to build nest structures in the dino enclosure and link Dinos to it or some stupid shit so long story short you still can’t have a wild, fenceleass environment with roaming populations of dinosaurs breeding and hunting and shit, so I never bought it. Next time I feel the itch to play a Jurassic park sim I probably won’t ever play JWE again and maybe look into modded Operation Genesis or some shit. Or maybe Prehistoric Kingdom will finally leave EA and get a 1.0 release soon, that would be awesome.

That Morgan Freeman dino doc that came out recently, produced by Spielberg I think wasn’t pozzed at all like the (((David Attenborough)))) ones or ((((Apple+)))) ones and was pretty traditional and decent. Check it out for cool ankylosaurus bits.

File: story of kenner t rex toy.jpg (1.4 MB)
>>11804043
Well there's a very good reason for that, because the sculptor behind the Maquette for the original T-Rex from the film had lent it out to Kenner so they could recast it and produce the toy. So a toy maker didn't sculpt that, someone in the film making business did. The more you know.
BTW it was red because they based the Kenner lineup after the Novel as they were being kept in the dark about the film and their creative liberties.

The Hammond Collection ones are nice and any of the Mattel should suit you. It really depends on how much money you want to spend.
There are literally even Bandai model kits of Dinos that you can currently buy so there will certainly be something for you when you are ready, so just buy what looks good to you and works with what you already own.

>>11804453

Feathers and scales aren’t always mutually exclusive. Anchiornis at least had scales with feathers in between the scutes. No evidence to my knowledge has shown proper Rexes to have had the same situation with their skin, but that could be preservation bias.

I got the Giga from Dominion. They aren't great toys and the articulation is really limited, but it's good if you just want a giant dino to loom over your 1:12 figgies. I do regret skipping on the Super Colossal Velociraptor just because it would have been close to the size of an irl velociraptor.

spend $5 more and get the lab lockdown rex. It looks really good in person. Universally praised by the fanbase.
>>
>>11808015
>>11808114
should note that if you only care about size get the $20 one. But if you care about quality more the lab lockdown is by far the way to go. I have hammond collection, legacy, papo, and more and this is still my favorite rex.
>>
>>11808114
I can attest that this rex is the greatest rex toy on shelves in recent history. The sculpt is very handsome and the bite function does not limit its ability to move its head around too much. But that being said I do have a fondness for the paint job on the devour-er. A shame his play feature completely ruins poseability.
>>
>>11804040
>>11804042
The JW Rebirth Colossal Rex is currently the best affordable 1/12 scale Rex in the market while the Lab Lockdown is Mattel's best Rex in their regular scale. Both are great options and definite upgrades to their respective predecessors so you can't really go wrong with either one.

If you care about price, that's a really good deal. That's even better than the clearance price I saw at Target and even better than the few I have seen at Ross ($29.99).
I would go ahead and buy it if it's still on the shelves - because it's apparently clearance to your store - assuming it didn't sell out - because the best price the website has today is $44+
>>11808114
That's smaller, by how much, to the bigger one? What I want it is to put action figures on top, like PICREL (someone else's photograph, and that's a really huge dino that I believe doesn't articulate much, which the father put his kids 12 inch hard plastic Marvel toy on, those barely articulate as well - I'm wanting to put a 1/12 articulating action figure, so I don't need a dino that is as big as PICREL but I do want it too look good, it will be a on a hanging shelf on a wall as the center piece. And I would like at least some of the dino to articulate, like the jaw? It looks like my Walmart will let me order this so i assume I can go to a Target and maybe pick it up in person?
>>
>>11808414
The mainline of the Mattel Jurassic stuff is roughly 1:18th scale. So Star Wars Vintage collection, 80s-style GI Joes, etc. super colossals are SORTA 1/12th scale, but only for the big predators, obviously the colossal Blue, Ghost, Indoraptor, and even Carno are way too big to be 1/12 scale.

>>11808414
If you want something like that pic then you can't go wrong with the one in OP >>11804040. It's basically the latest version of T-Rex in that same line format, and arguably the improved version with much better proportions too. Also yes the legs, arms, tail and the jaws still articulate.
This >>11808114 is much smaller, roughly in scale with 1/18 or 4-inch figures. It's good as a nicely sculpted figure but doesn't really fit what you're looking for as massive center piece.
>>
>>11808566
>oughly in scale with 1/18 or 4-inch figures
Oh yeah, that would be too small. I've seen some great looking JW Dinos figures for about $7.99/$9.99 at Ross, but they are essentially like a small pony for a 1/12 figure, if that. Very nice sculpts and paint jobs, but not large enough. I'd rather pay extra money and get something that will definitely work.
Thanks!

Similar thing with Postasuchus. Mattel has made a lot of less mainstream paleo critters in this line (Paleozoic and even a few Cenozoic extinct species) and some of them have virtually no representation in action figure form besides a fixed figurine that MAYBE has a hinged jaw. I bought at least three of the Kaprosuchus figures when they first came out because non-dino/non-pterosaur figures have long been niche releases in other toylines. The Hammond collection baby Stego goes for roughly 10 x retail in the aftermarket prices now. We’re approaching Lego set levels of ROI for discontinued JW figures.

Yeah but... but why? Doesn't Mattel have the power to re-release anything in a different deco and with a tedious gimmick shoved up its cloaca at any moment? There's almost 400 dollars represented in this image alone.

I just looked up the Super Colossal Titanosaurus from Rebirth and they go for up to $300usd MISB in completed sales on Ebay. I actually bought 2 of them for potential custom bases back when they came out, and both are still mint. Guess it's time to take those two piggies to market...

You never made what you think you will make just because some idiot scalper is pricing something way more than anyone will actually pay.
You need to look at the sold listings. And just because say ONE sold in say the past three months doesn't mean there's actually even at least ONE more fool idiot who will pay that same amount.

Super Colossal - Really big 1/12 scale, eats small figures, limited articulation to jaws, neck, arms, legs and tail.
Hammond Collection - 1/18 scale super articulated, sizes well with other jp/jw stuff.

I wasn't going to do that homework for you (or anyone else) unless I had those to sell myself.
But I am glad you did.
So go ahead and list them, if you are >>11810004
and hopefully make that dosh
most people are pretty stupid and trust the AI and get hosed, like the person who consigned a MTG sealed Spider-Man box to an auctioneer who sold to me for $3.25. Seller will get a whopping "85%" of the sale price and the auctioneer, who charged me $19.95 in postage, will probably keep an additional $8-12 in profit from the shipping fees they are charging me, and I'll be lucky to get the box inside a plastic sleeve as if the box itself was the shipping container.
I mean, ebay isn't designed to may anyone rich save for the company suits. Even their fucking stockholders get hosed more often than not.
>>
>>11810413
Unless there's a birthday coming up or some date specific reason, I would take your time and hunt around for a good deal.
Unless money is not object or you don't have the time or the patience to be bargain hunting.
But I mean, you probably already drive by or near a clearance store for another reason or waste time on line that you can do some on-line scouting....

What the FUCK is a jurassic frostraptor? Two stores I've been to have an empty space for this thing with nothing in it. Turns out there's others seeing the same thing. Reddit thinks its some non jurassic toy, but I'm not convinced.
Also Frenzy Packs and Wild Roars are getting disappeared before much else of the wave. I really think there is a dino buy/sell/trade going on with some of these smaller sets.

Not sure what you meant by that, but I've been checking 'SOLD' listings for years to get ball parts on sale prices of my own things I've put up, most of which have sold just fine. And yes, I'm the guy with the 2 titanos from earlier. I will put them up soon.
