EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW OF TIM BRADLEY BY JPTOYS!

Wow, talk about a great way to kick off this new month! After last month's news about Mr. Bradley's interview by a Transformers fan website, we tried to contact him to see if he would agree to be interviewed by JPToys. And with a big help of forum members Musichead and Jack De La Mare, a contact has been made, and an interview could be planned. You can read it all here: interview with Tim Bradley.
Mr. Bradley was kind enough to give us a great insight of the production of the Jurassic Park toy line, especially of the Chaos Effect series. It is truly a great pleasure and honor for us to have been able to get in touch with someone so passionate about he does, and still accessible enough to agree to be interviewed by us fans. Thank you, Mr. Bradley!

UPDATE! Mr. Bradley was kind enough to take pictures of the Ultimasaurus and the Velocirapteryx maquette he mentioned in the interview! The pictures have been added on the interview page. Enjoy!
You can now access Tim Bradley's website through the button on the Affiliates section (on your left). Make sure to check it out!

TLW TRICERATOPS AND ULTIMASAURUS CLOSE-UPS!

So, as people lurking around the forums have noticed, two prototypes have recently been unearthed, and luckily for us, the owner (a well-known collector nicknamed Ajaythehunter) was kind enough to take a bunch of pictures for us to drool over. All these pictures have been added to the The Lost World Triceratops and the Chaos Effect Ultimasaurus individual pages. Feel free to take a look at these gems, and again, a big thanks to Ajaythehunter for his kindness!

REVIEWS, CATALOGS, AND SPECULATION...

Today's going to be regular forum member Roselaar's day. We have several interested bits of info to share, and they all come from him. So, here we go!

First, we have 31 new, great-quality reviews for you to enjoy, all by Roselaar. You can discover them in the Lost World and Chaos Effect dinosaurs sections!

Roselaar also uncovered some old catalogs from local Dutch toy stores featuring JP toys, and he was kind enough to scan them and send them our way. You can see what this kind of catalogs look here in Europe by going to our new Holland catalogs section.

And finally, some speculation about the unreleased Ornithosuchus with Dino Trapper... Roselaar recently reminded us about a strange eBay auction, which makes for a neat new point of interest about this elusive toy...

That's it for today, boys and girls! Have fun with this bunch of news, and stay tuned! We still have one or two small things in store... ;)

REVIEWS... VARIATIONS... WHO WANTS SOME?

So, after our latest ground-breaking news about the Ornithosuchus with Dino Trapper, how about some reading? Regular contributor Roselaar has written a huge lot of reviews, including the four last ones of the Chaos Effect line, and reviews for each toy in the first Jurassic Park line. Be sure to take a look at them!

Also from Roselaar, we have several pictures of European variations of human figures (by the way, notice how European Skinners and Dr. Snares were part of the "Dino-Raiders" instead of "Evil Raiders"), as well as supposedly US-only dinos like the Carnotaurus. Definitely worth a look. And did you know that some Alan Grant figures from the JP3 line wore two pants? Well, the factory error pictures sent by forum member 0thebigwytec5 proves it!

And finally, for those wanting to know more about the Ornithosuchus with Dino Trapper proto that showed up recently, stay tuned. More news about this gem coming soon. ;)

NEW ULTIMASAURUS PROTOTYPE SURFACES!

We're happy to present you a new Ultimasaurus prototype that was recently unearthed by forum member Barbara22, from France. Simply by contacting Hasbro France, she had, with some patience, the opportunity to get in touch with someone from the US who had worked on the Chaos Effect line. And luckily for her, that person still had an Ultimasaurus prototype and was ready to sell it. And that's how Barbara22 could get her hand on this gem, and was kind enough to share great quality pictures of her find.

Two new close-ups (front view and back view) have been added on the Ultimasaurus page, as well as a bigger version of the picture seen below. Enjoy! :)

*UPDATE*: We've been told that these pictures aren't from an Ultimasaurus owned by forum member Barbara, but in fact were taken by toy designer Tim Bradley, who worked on the Chaos Effect line, and was kind enough to be interviewed by JPToys a few months ago. So, to give credits back to where it's due, thanks a lot for these pictures, Mr. Bradley!

Ultimasaurus prototype

NIGHT HUNTER SERIES TEST-SHOTS! AND SIDESHOW UPDATES TOO!

Hello there! Long time without any news, huh? But don't worry: today's update is going to make up for that. :)

Two test-shots from the canceled Night Hunter Series recently showed up on eBay: one from the Spinosaurus with Carr set, and the other from the Baryonyx with Ludlow playset. Only the two dinosaurs were for sale, without the human figure or any accessory. Still, they managed to fetch rather high prices ($570 for the Spino and $650 for the Bary), but weren't sold to the highest bidder, due to what looked like a huge reserve price (our sources mentioned a ridiculously overrated price of $4,500 each...). So, even though no one had the opportunity to buy these gems, we still have high quality pictures of both of them up for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

In other news, Sideshow Collectibles finally posted boxed pictures of their first Jurassic Park diorama: the T-Rex Versus Velociraptors scene. They also revealed pictures of what appears to be the production version of this diorama, which shows a slightly less stellar paint job (which could be expected), and which also shows what the "When Dinosaurs Ruled The World" banner from the exclusive edition will look like. Little reminder: this set is due to start shipping by the end of October 2008, so this shouldn't take too long, now...

Another news from Sideshow is the announcement of their new line: Dinosauria. Nothing is known about this line, apart from the fact that it should include several pieces with a $200-$350 price tag for each (yikes!). The reveal of such a series is rather puzzling, considering they also own the Jurassic Park license which consists of, well, one piece so far. So, will this new line be the nail in the Jurassic Park Sideshow coffin? As always, time will tell...

So, stay tuned for more. We should soon have several new collection and diorama galleries up, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled! ;)

THEY'RE JUST CUSTOMS, BUT STILL...

As Kevin said last time, we like to show what the Jurassic Park fan base is able to do. But today's news is going to be more toy related, with, first, this amazing Chaos Effect Euoplocephalus custom, inspired by the well-known unreleased toy, and created by forum member Dutchallosaur. You can see more pictures of this great piece of work in Dutchallosaur's thread over at the forum, and a video featuring this custom over here (yes, she even took the time to have a working action feature). Impressive work, isn't it? :)

Speaking of impressive (but size-wise, this time) works, check out this huge model created for a Haunted House attraction, and which is nothing less than a life-size Electronic Velociraptor, from the Lost World line. Now that's an attraction everyone would want to go to, huh? ;)

Euoplocephalus

CONGRATULATIONS, MA'AM, IT'S A NEW T-REX!

Finally, a picture of what is supposed to be the last JP2K9 toy we were still waiting to see was released, over at Toyark.com (a big thanks goes to ChaosGhostHunter for letting us know). Most people expected the rumored new Electronic T-Rex to be yet another mere repaint of good ol' JP3 Ultra T-Rex, but boy were we wrong! This new Rex appears to be a retooled version of the enormous Bull T-Rex from the Lost World line, without the "open-belly" feature, but with poseable legs! Now, that's a huge surprise! And the cherry on the cake, the paintjob is very reminiscent of the infamous unreleased Gulper T-Rex. Nice tip of the hat from the designer here! So, kudos to Hasbro for this daring move! :)

JURASSIC PARK 2K9 FOUND IN STORES, AND A NEW GALLERY!

Well, these ones saw the shelves a bit too early, but we're not gonna complain, right? ;) Forum member Chaosghosthunter was lucky enough to stumble upon three brand new JP2009 Battle Growlers today. Here's what he had to say on the matter: The hunt is on I found these three Battle Growlers at Toys R Us just a few minutes ago. I live in the Bay Area of Califorina. The guy who works there said this was all they had right now but they are Reseting the store to make room for them when they come in.. He said it would happen in the next week or two.. They are 17.99 each USD.. So, they're indeed starting to show up in stores, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled!

This is also the right time to announce JPToys' latest gallery to this new line: Jurassic Park 2009. There, you will be able to find high-quality pictures of these new gems. Enjoy! :)

PAPO'S CERATOPSIAN 2010 DELIVERY, AND MANY REVIEWS!

Well, after a rather long drought from Papo for 2009, looks like they decided to redeem themselves! After the recent reveal of their new Oviraptor, Papo released a catalog picture of their latest creation: the Pachyrhinosaurus! Yet another little-known, unusual animal turned into a piece of art by this french company. Indeed, it's not inspired by any Jurassic Park dinosaur, but still, it looks too good for any collector to pass on. For your viewing pleasure, we added a new page for this awesome figure. Stay tuned for more pictures as they surface!

In other news, we have a huge batch of no less than 33 new reviews from our great reviewer and forum member Roselaar! This time, he took care of the whole Jurassic Park Series 2 line, as well as a few left-overs from the Lost World and Chaos Effect lines. So, a big thanks goes to Roselaar! Good read! :)

Pachyrhinosaurus

NEW CHAOS EFFECT...GAME?!

Wow, this is indeed quite an unexpected story we bring you today! We recently received info from a video game company called "Fool Proof" about a new game currently being made, and loosely based on the Chaos Effect toy line: "Jurassic Park Chaos Effect Unleashed"! Yup, you read it right. 2010 is definitely going to be a big year for Jurassic Park! Fool Proof didn't reveal a lot about their game, but apparently, they're going to use the "genetically mutated dinos on the loose" plot from the old toy line. And indeed, the box art shows a lot about their vision of the Chaos Effect universe. The "Teen" rating is a bit strange, but after all, why not? It's better to have a game made for everyone than no game at all.

So, stay tuned for more about this very exciting project. And meanwhile, feel free to discuss this news on our forums! :)

Update: Yup, as most of you guessed it, this news was indeed a good old April's Fools prank (hence the Fool Proof company logo). The art is originally from VyToR, a DeviantART artist from Mexico. Make sure to check out his awesome art! And stay tuned for "real" news, this time. ;)

Chaos Effect Unleashed

FIRST BOXED PICTURES OF THE JURASSIC WORLD LINE!

Hey folks! Now that Jurassic World is getting closer and closer, we sure aren't going to be in any shortage of news! Here's the latest: the first pictures of boxed samples from the JW line have been made public, and here they are for you to feast your eyes upon (including a newcomer previously hidden in our last news: the Stegoceratops)!

Basher T-Rex

Basher Spinosaurus

Basher Ankylosaurus

Basher Stegoceratops

Growler "Blue"

Growler Dimorphodon

Giant "Charlie"

Giant "Delta"

Giant "Echo"

Chomping T-Rex

As you can see, this line appears to be a hit and miss so far. Items like the (long-awaited) Ankylosaurus or Stegoceratops (neat wink to Chaos Effect there, Hasbro!) look very good, while others look even worse than what we've seen in the JP3 line (I'm looking at you, Zombie Spino). Also, unconfirmed news we've received revealing that no human figures, apart from generic 2,5 inch tall no-name troopers, will be released, or the fact that the Giant (or Titan) class Raptors (see Delta and Echo above? That's them) won't sport the trademark Raptor claw on their feet, make the fanbase a bit uneasy about the direction this line is taking, but remember that we haven't seen all of this line, and after all, maybe the NY Toy Fair (starting this week-end) will have some surprises for us! In any case, we at JPToys will continue to give you the latest news in Jurassic Park/world toy collecting!

Listing of the Jurassic World Hybrid line revealed!

Hey folks! Remember our last news about the probable future of the JP line? Well, the cat is out of the bag, with the reveal of Jurassic World Hybrid's line listing! This was revealed by forum member and store superviser Miller23time, who found in his store's UCP list what we can expect for next year (which was later confirmed by our staff member Chrislikesdinos). It is unknown if this list is complete or if more items will be revealed, but until then, here we go! :)

Jurassic World Alpha Cycle and Hybrid Raptor Pack -$19.99 - UPC 63050946452 (Alpha Cycle? Would this mean a long overdue Owen figure?!)

So, yup, while it's possible we'll get some repaints, several hybrids in there will have to be new sculpts! So, are you excited about this new Chaos Effect 2, err, JW Hybrid line? Stay tuned for more, as we're sure more info and pictures will be unearthed soon! :)

Pictures of the first Dino Hybrid figure!

Hey folks! What's the best way to start 2016? By discovering what the new Jurassic World Hybrid (or Dino Hybrid, according to the packaging) line will look like, of course! Thanks to ChrisLikesDinos, we have our first look at the Hybrid FX T-Rex, a retool of last year's Chomping Rex, packing a few new tricks: along with the chomping attack, this figure now has roaring sounds, and, as you can see, huge spikes sprouting out of its back, not unlike Chaos Effect's Amargospinus, all for (reportedly) the same price than the original toy. Like it? Hate it? At least, Hasbro didn't stop at a mere repaint and went the extra mile to retool this figure. We'll see what the rest of the line will look like, especially with recently uncovered figures like the Pteraminus, which have been added to the list below. Enjoy! :)

SDCC 2018: Huge Reveals (And We Mean Huge)!

Hey folks! As most of you may know, the annual San Diego Comic Con is currently taking place. And of course, Mattel has a big stand in order to promote their Jurassic World line, showing most of what has been released so far, as well as a few yet-to-be-released figures, including a new 6 inches collector series, planned to be released during Fall 2019! This new line was totally unexpected, and raises a lot of hope from fans, as well as some fears that, by splitting the line, Mattel may make the same mistake as Hasbro for their Star Wars line, and lower the overall quality of their brand, especially the 3 3/4" main line. But we need to remember that Mattel definitely isn't Hasbro (the 2018 line speaks for itself), and Mattel representatives were quickly to reassure fans by explaining that this new collector line would be rather small and that the main focus will remain on the historical 3 3/4" line. So, let's keep our hopes up, and marvel at the first three figures revealed: Owen Grady, Blue, and fan-favorite Ian Malcolm from the first JP movie:

But of course, Mattel didn't stop at this reveal, and gave us sneak-peeks at what kind of treats await us for 2019, and trust us, this line shows no sign of slowing down. We'll of course have new human figures to collect (a new Franklin Webb, pictured below, was shown, and there was even a small hint at a potential John Hammond figure), and they confirmed that we'll see 16 new dinosaur species, including a Styracosaurus (a 3D representation was shown, and you can see the figure itself in our "2019 line-up leaked" article), as well as silhouettes of two new full-sized sauropod (unlike JP3's Brachiosaurus or Chaos Effect's Amargospinus): an Action Attack-sized Amargasaurus, as well as, after 25 years of waiting, a Brachiosaurus figure, which appears to be around 2 feet tall and 3 feet long! Yup, you read that right! And if that wasn't enough, word on the street has it that we should be seeing species like Parasaurolophus, Coelurus, Dracorex, Rhamphorhynchus, Plesiosaurus, and of course the Indominus Rex. Better starting to organize your shelves in order to make space for all these new critters! ;)

2021's line checklist!

These times are uncertain, to say the least. And the same goes for our little collecting community, as this year's checklist shows. Of course, as always, this list doesn't come from official sources and is potentially subject to change (especially this year). But that should give you a good idea of what we can expect in 2021. This list will obviously continue to be updated, but in the meanwhile, enjoy! Credits goes to Toyopolis and Collect Jurassic for their great pictures! :)

2023's line checklist!

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! :)

JURASSIC PARK NIGHT HUNTER SERIES

I bet you're wondering what in the heck I'm talking about, right? Well, our good friends over at jurassicpark.action-figure.net have gotten their hands on some pretty cool exclusive photos and descriptions from Hasbro of this unreleased series. It seems that this set was supposed to ship in 1999 but after the failure of the chaos effect line this set was a no go.

CAMOXTREME CHAOS!

Boy, this whole line just continues it's downward sprial! First they're up, then they're gone...who know's what to beleive! This time they're gone again but it's the 2 packs according to Mr_Goodbytes: "Once again, Entertainment Earth has removed a CamoXtreme Item. This time, however, it is the hatchling 2 packs that have been removed. The Confusion Continues!!! Here is my theory.... I think that Entertainment Earth recieved them early, so they began selling them. However, the shelf date was pushed back to April just like the others, and Hasbro has told them not to sell any more. In any case, they are gone. Let's just hope they bring them back." Who knows what's going on but you can make sure that we'll continue to keep you up to date on whatever happens with this mysterious line! A little site update for ya, it seems that our plans for the big JPTC anniversiary hit a bit of a snag (to no fault of our own but that's another story). Anway, things seem to be back on track for now so we just ask for your patience while we get things back in order. We think you'll find the wait well worth it! Have a great weekend!

PRE-ORDER QUESTIONS

Mr_Goodbytes continues his quest to get to the bottom of all this CamoXtreme chaos! This time he kindly emailed the folks over at entertainmentearth.com to see just how they plan on filling all those pre-orders that are now listed as "Out Of Stock-Arriving Soon". This was their response: Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not provided us with a date we can expect to receive this item, but we are expecting it back in stock soon. We will have pictures of it on our website soon. We fully intend to fill all pre-orders as soon as we are able. Thank you for your patience. Customer Service Entertainment Earth Pretty nice guys huh? Keep it here for all the latest details as we'll pass them along to you as more becomes available. A couple of site updates before I let you go today - first, I finally got around to updating the pictures of my JP collection (most of it) which now includes a shot of my most recent acquisition, the JP series 2 Carnotaurus! We also have a new member in the JPTC diorama family (I know...cheesy ;-). His name is raptorhunter56 and his first entry is a good one! So make sure to check that out and have a great weekend everybody!

CE ART BOOK

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.

ULTIMASAURUS SURFACES?

No, this isn't our idea of a late April Fool's joke (although it would've made a good one). Forum member 'Piltdown Chickenraptors' came across an ebay auction recently that may just have the only "unreleased" Chaos Effect Ultimasaurs that we've seen so far. Is it the real deal or perhaps a clever custom? Click here for the pic. We will of course keep you updated if/when we receive any more info. on this potential stunning find.

(UPDATE 4/09) - The auction has ended with apparently no winner according to the seller who told us that the item was withdrawn so that he could take more time to properly evaluate the item's worth and go from there. We can only hope that it will pop up on ebay again sometime soon so that we'll have another chance to solve this mystery. Until then, stay tuned for further updates and please pass along anything you see fit as it relates to this story.

HASBRO & JP3 - WHY THINGS CHANGED

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.

ULTIMASAURUS & GULPER PROTOS SURFACE?

Forum member 'yankeetrex' spotted these 2 auctions of what appears to be prototype figures of the unreleased Ultimasaurus & Gulper T-Rex. Could it be true? Check the auctions out for yourself & judge. The starting bids are not low at all so be careful!

JPD3 MICRO-DINOS SPOTTED!

Just when some were starting to doubt whether we'd see these new "micro-dinos" we get the following report from forum member 'robotassassin':

"I'm new to the board and I just returned from Florida. I was at Universal Studios, Orlando. I loved the JP area at the Islands of Adventure. The river ride was great but a bit short and the discovery center was closed off for remodeling!!! . Anyways back on the subject. As you all may know there is a new series of mini JPD("Jurassic park dinosaurs") being released by Hasbro, along with the large electronic t-rex & pterranodon, and the regular 3 electronic dinos w/3 mini dinos. I happen to go shopping around in the smaller shop that is located within the discovery center and to my surprise they had all 4 of the new mini-dino packs.

-Tyrannosaurus Rex & Spinosaurus
-Tyrannosaurus Rex & Triceratops
-Stegosaurus & Velociraptor
-Pteranodon & "compy"

I purchased the "Tyrannosaurus Rex & Spinosaurus" and the "Tyrannosaurus Rex & Triceratops." Both are great! This line is starting to get serious and is showing more "realistic/movie-like" paint apps. They don't appear silly or odd like their previous releases."

Unfortunately he was not able to pass along pics at this time. We will of course post anything right here once we receive it so stay tuned. In news around the site today, some pretty cool new CE prototypes of Ian Malcom & Roland Tembo were spotted by forum member 'cityscapes' and those are now up for your viewing pleasure in our prototypes section. Finally today we have a new diorama gallery from 'dilophosaurus1' that includes over 17 dioramas.

SITE UPDATES

First up I wanted to mention our new poll question. This time around we want to know which unreleased prototype would you most like to own? Be sure to let us know by voting today! The next thing I'll mention is regarding our news archives. I went through and gathered up all of our old news stories from our first site at JP3 HQ and then later at Geocities for placement with our current archives. It was really fun looking back at some of the old headlines like our first "JP3 Hasbro Toys Are On Their Way" to "CamoXtreme Chaos" and the whole Tapejara controversy. Fun times indeed. So take a trip down memory lane when you get a chance, I really think you'll enjoy it.

Next on the list is a new custom from JP Action Man, the JP H2 Hummer. And finally today, we have a new poll up for your voting pleasure!

CE: NIGHT HUNTER SERIES - PACKAGED SHOTS?

Forum regular PygmyAllosaurus came across an interesing article while browsing the "Toy Showcase" section of the December 2004 issue of Lee's Toy Review magazine. Here's what he had to say:

"I was shocked to see the Chaos Effect: Night Hunter line in the "Toy Showcase" section(which is where they show off prototypes & extremely rare pieces every month) of the December 2004 issue of Lee's Toy Review(it's #146). Not because I hadn't seen them before- there are pictures from a catalog on this website, but because they were pictures we don't have... packaged pictures. The pictures are quite tiny though, and before anyone asks I don't have a scanner or a digital camera. The caption underneath the pictures says: "Unreleased Jurassic Park Chaos Effect: Night Hunter Series. These are Hasbro product samples of the nixed last series of JP Chaos Effect figures; the Chaos Effect series went extinct on the cusp of the new millennium. No sales quotes have been recorded to date."

Of course this is something we're following up on so if some higher resolution pics do surface, we'll be sure to pass them along. BTW, be sure to stay tuned for tomorrow's update regarding the Diorama Contest.

CHAOS EFFECT CONCEPT DRAWINGS!

JPToys forum member SHOGMASTER has sent in various Chaos Effect concept drawings which you can find in our Chaos Effect prototypes section. At this time we won't say too much - as to provide for some sense of anonymity - we'll just get right to the pictures! Stay tuned for an exclusive interview with SHOGMASTER in the upcoming weeks. THESE ROCK!

EXCLUSIVE UNRELEASED CE PICS!

JPToys is proud to bring you yet another exclusive look at some never before seen Chaos Effect toys! Forum member Extinct came across these in a 1998 Toy Fair Catalog. Just what's included? You can see it all in our Catalogs section, but here's a quick glance:

* InGen Lab
* Ian Malcom
* "Power Suit"
* Ankylosaurus
* Stegosaurus and Pachysaurolophus
* Ultimasaurus & Deynocanis
* Deynocanis (closeup)

We will try to get higher quality scans up as soon as possible. Be sure to catch the discussion regarding this significant find in our FORUMS (you may have to register). In conjunction with these great new pictures, we also have a new poll question up for your voting pleasure today.

NEW CE CLOSEUPS

Has it been a wild week to be a JP toy fan or what?! Well I hope it hasn't been wild enough that you've forgotten about the first major story that broke, those unreleased CE photos. Forum member Extinct was kind enough to pass along these new closeups of the Stegosaurus & Pachysaurolophus visible in the Chaos Effect prototypes section.

Thanks again to Extinct for sending those in. We'll be sure to post others as we receive them so be sure to keep checking back. In other news today, we have a new diorama gallery from Dinoboy18 which includes a whopping 17 dioramas...check 'em out!

DINOMANIA REVIEW

About 2 weeks ago JPToys.com was contacted by the folks at Promotopia, Inc. probably better known to you as the makers of the Dinomania line of miniature dinosaur collectibles. Originally released in Japan only, Promotopia will now distribute the line here in the US, Canada & Mexico. They asked us to review their product and of course, we were happy to oblige.

In other news, Armothe recently uploaded new shots of the unreleased Chaos Effect Night Hunter series from a newly acquired 1999 Toy Fair catalog. These are by far the best pictures we've seen of this line to date.

PAPO ANNOUNCES NEW ANKYLOSAURUS FOR THIS YEAR!

Right after the news of Papo's new Styracosaurus, forum member spartansquat told us that the fanbase could expect yet another gem: an Ankylosaurus! Today, forum member dinolord posted a picture of Papo's newest creation. It turned to be yet another must-have for the Papo-collector! But, it is not the first time sculptors make an Euoplocephalus and name it Ankylosaurus instead. For the Jurassic Park fans among us, this piece is a nice replacement for the only adult Jurassic Park Ankylosaurid that never saw the light of day. A big thanks goes to both members. And Papo: keep up the good work!

ANOTHER GREAT CUSTOM FROM MEXICO!

Forum member Quetzalcoatlus posted yet another custom of his friend, Roberto. After the very good copy of the unreleased TLW series 2 Triceratops he managed to copy the Ultimasaurus from the Chaos Effect series. He even managed to modify the figure into something even more bad-ass! No T-Rex would want to meet this guy out in the open... More pictures are found here on the forums.

Ultimasaurus custom

IT'S RAINING LOST PIX!

After practically living on Google and Waybackmachine.org for a few days, the staff team of JPToys managed to recover a lot of 'lost' prototype pictures. These pictures used to be on other JP toy fan sites, but those have disappeared through the years. Most pictures found their way to JPToys, but a bunch of them didn't and were considered lost for a very long time. This also includes the far better, original pictures of some prototypes. Plus, we added a lot of more recent prototype pictures too. So, we present to you: over 50 new prototype pictures on the website! Please check the prototype sections of each toy line, as the Jurassic Park series 2, The Lost World series 1 and 2, Jurassic Park 3, Chaos Effect, CamoXtreme, Jurassic Park:Dinosaurs 2 and Jurassic Park 2009 have all been updated.

And that's not all. We have a big surprise, also concerning recent prototypes (not visible in the picture below)... check our forum to see what it is (and for a full list of all new pictures)!

JURASSIC PARK 2014 AND MORE!

Today we have a plethora of news to report, so lets get started! First up, we have what seems to be evidence of a new Hasbro Jurassic Park line for 2014! Once again, mysterious new listings have appeared in the Toys R Us inventory system just waiting to be discovered, which of course, we discovered. Check out the picture, and item details below!

  • Giant Raptor - Hasbro Item # B1139 - $9.99
  • Basher Biter - Hasbro Item # B1271 - $9.99
  • Growlers - Hasbro Item # B1633 - $14.99
  • Chomping Rex - Hasbro Item # B1156 - $19.99

While we do not have a release date yet, I suspect we may see the items as soon as August, or Fall at the latest. As for specifics on the toys, they remain unknown, though some may be the unreleased 6" JP 2011 sculpts (Which we know consisted of the following and perhaps more: Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Spinosaurus and Ankylosaurus). Stay tuned for further updates..

Next up is our first look at merchandise from Jurassic World, the long awaited fourth installment of the Jurassic Park franchise! Thanks to a set visit via Today Show we caught our first glimpse into Jurassic Worlds fictional gift shop, and we got a clear look at a 'Raptor Claw' toy by Hasbro! Check out the video here, and the picture below!

If only we could get a higher resolution of the video, as there seem to be a few more actual Jurassic World products hanging on the back wall. At this time it seems the other items will remain a mystery, but hopefully further set visits will share more glimpses of whats to come.

Our final bit of news is a blast from the past, proving that the Jurassic Park Dinosaurs simply want to defy extinction: check out the canceled Jurassic Park Chaos Effect Ceratosaurus!

It's truly amazing that after all these years, a completely unknown Prototype appeared and that we were able to obtain pictures. It is worth noting that the item now resides in a private collection and is in good hands, so fear not, it will not be forgotten or lost. Check out the toys page here, and on that note, our barrage of news is wrapped up for today, but stay tuned for more as it seems there will be plenty to report on the horizon!
