Still got both arms attached? Apparently they are quite valuable with both as at least one fell off for most people. Including me.

Arms are fine. Still roars too.
I have a TON of JP toys. All in perfect condition. I'll take some pictures next week.

He'll definitely be changing colors, the italian packaging for the toy says "la pelle cambia colore" which translates to "the skin changes color".

Suddenly these toys look a lot better:

Because that line of toys are interconnectable.

Doesn't explain why they don't even look like real dinosaurs, let alone their on-screen counterparts.
The Star Wars and Avengers figures look fine.
I really don't understand why the Jurassic World ones look like Transformers Dinobot knock-offs.

Okay yeah. Those Chaos Theory rejects make the new toys look amazing. I can concede.

Maybe Brian Cranston will last longer than he did in Godzilla.
Oh man, me too. Just makes me remember the awesome JP toys I had as a kid!

As in "Heathcliff"
I have two T-Rex, and both of them still have both arms. I'm surprised to hear that since I played heck out of it for long time.

Hoping we get to see a Dimetrodon in the film. Always loved them as a kid.

So good. I was recently transferring some old home movies to digital and one of them is me and my brother playing with the command compound set on Christmas morning 1993. I'm realising how many of the toys I had and have since forgotten because those pics are triggering some serious memories.

I had that Dilophosaurus toy! I forgot all about it!

Torn on which toys to get for my six year old. He's not much of an action figure guy, but I think he might be into the Heroes toys with the Jurassic Derp logo. But the adult, the collector in me, is like "let's get the cooler older toys, but let's not let him play with them..."

It is proof of God.
Yes. Of the fact that he doesn't exist.

Not a spoiler, but worth sharing..
Colin Trevorrow posted it, it's from tomorrows new trailer.

The CG looks awful.
Is it sad that I can't tell if you're joking?

So, some final/promo toy pics have hit.
It could be worse.
Well, it does get worse.. Raptors without sickle claws:

wtf
Am I the only one who feels like the new toys just look way worse than the toys from the original? They just don't look as realistic. Technology has progressed so much yet toys from 22 years ago look so much better.
Seriously though the rubber-skinned T-rex from back in the day was awesome.

I want this to be a thing and not be a thing in the film at the same time. Please, no.
Its toys...that is to be handled by kids...
I was making light of all the complaints of CG in the new movie.

I actually found myself looking at that gif of the trailer looking at the raptor feet already. They seem to have their claws there, but I couldn't really tell, which bothered me.

Stegoceratops is just a toy thing.
The quality control on the toys is pretty shit, yeah. It's been mostly negative feedback on websites/twitter/fb. I know that myself as a kid would have been pretty let down, particularly over the clawless raptors.
They have sickle claws:

It's actually a pretty common safety measure to remove dangerous elements from animals, like the horns of cows. Yes, those have horns. Or claws with the big cats.
So considering this is a genetic factory, the animals being "devolved" makes sense. Really, this would be part of a fictional environment actually making sense. How else would they be able to show them to the audience? (in the movie, not the movie audience)
It's pretty obvious that the ones Pratt is shown working with are not the regular material shown to the audience anyway.
edit:
@demoncarnotaur: I've seen the claws. That wasn't what I was referring to in this case.

But again, look up. They have the claws in the movie. And the smaller 'Growler' Raptors have sickle claws.

Also, the prototypes did have the claw:
It's clear they changed it as a shoddy fix, perhaps for stability. Which I understand the need to thicken/tweak it, but removing it entirely is laughable. Can't believe Hasbro and Universal QA and Brand management signed off on it.

Damn, the T.rex looks even worse up close. Those Kenner toys still hold up so much better all these years.
Please be in the movie.

I know, that wasn't the point.
I meant that this would be the 'safe for people' display version you could actually put in a normal cage, without people getting hurt. There is no reason to believe, considering the events of previous movies, that the 'real deal' would placed anywhere near a non-professional. You wouldn't take your kids to see those.
This is a running theme park, not a dinosaur reserve. (or at least, as far as the audience would know and / or care)
edit: oh, so they're changing these things as they go along? Wut.
And other hybrids too? Oh, this is going places.
No kidding. It's really sad that not only can't Hasbro beat a 22-year-old toy, but they can't even sniff the unlicensed T-Rex by Papo.
No contest. And I'll bet the Hasbro will cost a great deal more than that Papo.

Again, these saw a large quality drop. Check out the chomping rex (jaw articulation, nose, and toe detail particularly):
It's frustrating, but not as bad as omitting sickle claws entirely.
