Eh, I think some of you have far too exaggerated expectations for this line.
Assuming IF (and that's a big if) Hasbro produces actual human characters for the line next year, I would almost guarantee that they will basic, 5 POA figures like we're seeing with practically all of Hasbro's "short duration" (ie, tie in) lines this year. Granted, though, at least their sculpting skills have improved to the point I think the sculpts will look as close to the actors as is possible (assuming likeness rights are granted). I do NOT expect an elaborate line. I do NOT expect GI Joe level product. The most I see GI Joe impacting the line is with a few accessories or maybe a vehicle reuse, at best.

The new Gi Joe Kwinn would make a great JP1 Robert Muldoon figure with a new head. But its probably a pipe dream.

Eh, they put a ton of work into the cancelled JP2011 Dinosaurs and Vehicles, and at least two of those will see release. And that was a line without a movie tie in.. so I really do suspect the line, however long it lasts, will be pretty decent quality. Here are prototypes of the two brand new Dinosaurs we are getting in the JP3D line. So yeah, I have faith. Last edited by DemonCarnotaur; 02-13-2013 at 10:34 PM.. |

One thing is bugging me.. with JP3D toys @ TRU a few weeks away, how come we haven't seen a single picture or leak? Is that normal to have nothing from a line so close to the release date?

I think we've not seen leaks because that line/movie series doens't have a toy following (like say, Joe or Transformers) so the guys in China don't really know its worth leaking. That and now that the factories have moved to Vietnam there have been significantly less leaks, too.

I also speculate that these toys may have been produced in 2010-2011 before JP was cancelled and have been sitting in a warehouse awaiting a line to be released in, which would also explain the lack of newer leaks. They may just be printing packaging and then sending the toys out from there. |

Again, Hasbro's current marketing strategy does NOT favor seeing as elaborate a product range as people here are expecting, especially with the first push being for just dinos.
