JPToys - News

We just received another update from forum member robotpo about the IDW graphic novel. It turns out it's not a novel, but another line of 5 comic books. The release date for the first issue is rescheduled to September this year, other issues will follow shortly. As with the previous lines of IDW, it will also have cover variations and robotpo submitted a picture of the first sketch variant.

Due to spoilers we will not front-page IDW's story summary for the first issue, but the fans among us who are too curious to wait: visit the comic book thread on our forums here!

Various movie websites, including comingsoon.net and hollywoodreporter.com recently revealed some very interesting news: Spielberg and Universal are talking about JPIV! Moreover, both parties have confirmed it.

Both Universal, which released the trilogy, and Spielberg's camp stress that no one has been engaged to write a script and that the discussions have been purely exploratory.

This distinguishes the news from all previous rumors of JPIV. This time it's confirmed! And while it's not yet beyond exploratory discussions, it gives hope that the JP fans may finally get what they have been waiting for: a worthy new movie in the series. And a new movie, also means new toys. And please, Hasbro: no repaints this time.

Stay tuned for more updates!
