Hasbro’s Jurassic World Toys Look WAY Less Sucky Than Previous Attempts

Check out the new big bad, the genetically modified Indominus Rex. It looks like it was sculpted by people who actually gave a shit (Entertainment Weekly also has the raptor and T-rex toys, which look equally detailed). Despite being clearly a step above the toys from previous JP films, however, there will be callbacks – the new dinos still feature an official letter-mark (“JW” now instead of “JP”) and the “dino-damage” feature of removable skin sections.
Indominus will also feature sound effects and color-changing skin, and apparently sell for just $35, a relative bargain these days for any toy that actually resembles its onscreen counterpart. For retailers, that’s some Dino Might.
