"The two questions that remain for G.I. Joe fans: What is the future of Kre-O? Will the brand end after the last G.I. Joe and AOE Transformers waves? The second question..... Will Modern Era G.I. Joe vehicles and figure molds be used for the Jurassic World toys?"
To the first question, as much as I like the Kreo stuff I could easily see it ending soon because Hasbro made too many mistakes early on and now only a place like Toys-R-Us will touch the brand. Too many stores got stuck with Transformers vehicle build sets early on and then the Cityville mini mini figures were just sort of the nail in the coffin. Unless Hasbro could magically find a way to make other retailers desire Kreo products on their shelves then things aren't looking bright for Kreo. Got my fingers crossed that the human figures for the Jurassic World toys will use GI Joe parts. It could be a nice way to get some figures in different colors. But it's also just as possible that they went with something like the five points of articulation figures to cut costs. I think the other thing that stands out is how much Hasbro is pushing their Mashers line. First Marvel goes Mashers, then Transformers goes Mashers, Jurassic Park Mashers, really wouldn't be shocked to see the rest of the Hasbro action toy lines go Mashers as well. |

Mashers really make sense for Jurassic World, considering one of the main Dinosaurs is a human engineered Hybrid. (It goes by the name Diabolus Rex in the film, but Hasbro is using the "Bad Boy" name for now.)
No pictures exist yet, but I'm still optimistic that the toys will look pretty good. As for the Jurassic Joes, I'm hoping that we at the very least get the Stegosaurus and Carnotaurus Dino Showdown sets.. I know TRU is still interested in the exclusives, and those seem to be a perfect fit. For what it's worth, these JP 2011 Dinosaurs never saw release or pictures either: Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Spinosaurus and Ankylosaurus Time will tell to see what is coming.. I still hope some prototypes or rumors surface. |

I would be highly surprised to see Joe parts used in any human figures associated with Jurassic World. I'm betting low cost 5 POA like we're seeing with STar Wars, Marvel, and Guardians of the Galaxy at this stage, especially if tied to any real person or film likenesses.
As to the Lego thing: I'm not sure that is indicative of ANYTHING to KreO. After all, like Star Wars, the license might have gotten split between an "action figure" component and "building block" component. Hasbro got the action figure side, but Lego snagged the building block side (which does make sense given prior relationship with Universal with the BttF sets and Lego's own prior Dinosaur theme from some years ago)

Wishing I bought those 2 GI Joe mold Jurassic Park guys, Gordon and Skullstriker, now. Granted I had no idea what I would have done with the dinos save take them to Goodwill, but I regret not snagging them.

It's because Hasbro originally confirmed they were making Kreo sets for Jurassic World (back when it was called Jurassic Park 4 and coming in 2014). Also, Lego had out out a statement saying they couldn't do Jurassic Park sets last year due to Hasbro's ownership of the license.
