JPToys - News

Most people figured it out: we don't change the site. We couldn't let the 1th of April pass without a joke, huh?

Once again, our moderator and official toy reviewer Roselaar wrote a lot of new reviews. This time for JP:Dinosaurs 2, JP:Dinosaurs 3 and JP2009. Have you wondered whether or not you should collect these lines? And what makes that JP2009 Bull T-Rex so different from his TLW counterpart? It's not just the additional points of articulation... So if you are interested or wondering if you should buy a figure, enjoy reading the reviews on the toy pages. Many thanks goes to Roselaar for all the time he put into this work... and we understand that reviewing a million repainted versions of the same figures can be daunting ;). (Thank you Hasbro, for your inability to release something new... at the very least you bored our reviewer, lol.)

And yet again we are proud to present you: an interview with the designer of the The Lost World line! Mr Joe DeVito speaks about designing the toys. Did you know that the magnet in the Compognathus' head was his idea? Mr Devito also designed the famous unreleased TLWS2 Triceratops and... the unreleased TLW Euoplocephalus! That's not all: he gave us the concept art! Check out the entire interview here! We also opened a discussion thread on the forum, here.

Recently we announced four new dinosaur prototypes had surfaced, with previously unknown sculpts. Unfortunately, they were difficult to see, so still no-one knew what they really looked like. However, this time forum member JPvision managed to obtain sharp and detailed pictures of all specimens! So for those of you who saw the earlier pictures and are curious to see how they really look like, please visit our new forum thread and enjoy this very exclusive update!

Every year Papo releases more sculpts, and every year we hope for even better sculpts than last time. This year, fortune smiles upon us! We get a T-Rex in a running pose (did someone mention V-Rex?), a repaint of the first Papo Rex (suits the Rex in the first movie, right?), and a hatchling in both green and brown. While the running T-Rex's catalog shot clearly shows it to be green, a brown version has already surfaced.

And that's not all. Papo listened carefully to the fans and finally made a very cool Brachiosaurus! Let's hope it's BIG. And of course, in earlier news Papo also comes with a Tylosaurus. Credit goes to Raptor86, lucidstillness and DemonCarnotaur for letting us know!

For larger pictures, please visit our Papo section!

This week has been full of new developments, and the most important being the discovery of four (!) new, unreleased dinosaur sculpts, previously unknown! The two large carnivores and the two large herbivores are not featured on the site yet, but will be soon. For those too curious to wait, visit our forum thread about them and join the discussion!
