I just hope they make a little bigger than their "Avatar" figures were.

I assure you, the Jurassic park toy line was a victim of Hasbro internal politics between factions, much like how Gi Joe is currently a victim and how Marvel Legends style figures are in vogue now.
A while back during CHAOS EFFECT (which was the last classic Kenner style Dino Toyline), Hasbro fired EVERY SINGLE Kenner employee who designed the classic Jurassic park toys to cut costs because of how disastrous the Chaos EFFECT toyline was performing. Similiar to what they did with super Soaker designer larami who formed Buzz Bee Toys. They then sent Star Wars team members to design dinosaur toys, resulting in the INCREDIBLY inferior Jurassic Park 3 toyline and a 14 year gap where no one in Hasbro wanted to work on Jurassic Park toys. Remember Dino Showdown? THAT ACTUALLY WAS A 100% GI JOE SPINOFF project!! They got allocated massive resources from the GI Joe department which at the time dominated Hasbro politics. It was seen as a good way to have an Adventure Team style spinoff excuse to reuse dinosaur tooling to prep a Jurassic Park department for future use and training. When the GI JOE department became super weak during the Jp World development cycle due to Retaliation underperforming toy wise and the 50th GI Joe department becoming unfavored inside the company, various Hasbro factions cannibalized the staff of the Jurassic Park section again and the JP World toy designers started from scratch AGAIN!!! Not only that, they often assigned the lowest paid and newest designers to that department and wouldn't assign resources because historically Hasbro couldn't get Jurassic Park toys to EVER WORK!!! So the other departments just decided to always strip it of resources whenever they could. ------------------------------------ WOW right? The real question becomes how the heck could Hasbro Jurassic World toys ever could have been anything but awful in this environment. They deserved to lose that license, even though Mattel is no better. . . . . . . . . .

So the best reveal/leak we have gotten so far is the RC car instructions.
If you see the instruction scan that is floating around, look at the figures they have hanging on the side of it. Day 1 purchase. |

Yeah, that RC car is really nice. If I can find it, I might buy it for my coworkers to play around with.
