Speaking of Jurassic Park, Burger King will have Jurassic Park kids meal toys very soon for April. http://www.bkcrown.com/Toys/Default.aspx No pics or descriptions yet, but I hope they are decent and fun. We haven't had Burger King JP fast food stuff since 1997, and those weren't even toys, they were watches. I know since then, some pizza chain (http://www.jptoys.com/collectible-da...tute/index.htm) got some buildable skeleton JP Institute toys that came in plastic eggs and for Jurassic Park 3, every Burger King everywhere BUT the United States got cool toys that all connect together to form a big island (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jurassic-Park-III-Dino-Miniature-Playset-Toys-Collection-Burger-King-RARE-/300875181721?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item460d8ee e99&nma=true&si=ZWhIyzZ%252BvpP4fIKKjZFnkQ82G14%25 3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557).

The dinosaurs are excellently detailed and surprisingly flexible as well, for those who care.

I'm digging these figures much more than I thought would. They're pretty simple and not super detailed but they're both tough-looking thug-like guys that work well as mercenaries or hired guns if nothing else. For me, the sets were a no-brainer as I'm a huge dinosaur/Jurassic Park fan as well as an obvious joe fan and collector, so it's a win-win situation. For those that dont already know, Ash Skullstriker is what appears to be a Red Dog head on a mostly Gung Ho body, and Gunner Gordon is a Burnout head on a Resolute cobra trooper body. The only complaint I had was when I removed Gunner Gordon from his packaging, I noticed his left knee was unusually loose. When I looked closer to examine it, I discovered that the knee pin was in fact snapped and it fell out as I flexed it. I happen to have a whole drawer full of replacement pins so it was no big deal for me, but it could be a total bummer for the average collector that doesn't customize. It got me wondering if these guys have been stored in a chinese warehouse somewhere for years with their Samoan friends awaiting release and the plastic got brittle? Maybe, maybe not. Could have just been my figure.
The dinosaurs are excellently detailed and surprisingly flexible as well, for those who care. There is still a bunch of product that has yet to be released, if ever. http://www.jptoys.com/toy-database/j...2011/index.htm ^There's also another Joe, Grand Slam, not picture there that comes with the Carno, he features a new head sculpt and a new face mask with splitner cell like 3 lensed goggles. Seen here: http://dinodan.proboards.com/index.c...ay&thread=6653 & here: http://dinodan.proboards.com/index.c...ay&thread=6655 I too love and collect Jurassic Park (just not as much anymore because stuff is pricey and hard to come by), and I hope this new line does well enough to get us new dinosaurs and not those JP 3 repaints again (and again and again and again and again.....). My dream JP toy to own would be the Thrasher T-Rex. Always wanted one, got the Bull instead for Christmas. I was going to return it and exchange it for the Thrasher, but upon leaving the living room and coming back a moment later, my parents had already freed the Rex from his cardboard prison and were getting the caged victim ready to be devoured. I never liked that damn toy. Such a fucking rubber brick. Oh well.

I have a MOC Colton with very good eyes, not cross-eyed at all. I picked him up to trade with. What do you have for trade? I only really need a Dollar General T'Ginzu Storm Shadow if you have one.
Hmm.. maybe, Any way you can hold on to him until next we all meet? Sorry for the delay. If you need to sell/trade him in the meantime, then go for it. I really don't need him badly but I will still trade you that Jungle duke if you want to hang onto him.
