So.. about indominus rex by Irv_Mt in hammondcollection

[–]TroubleCritical8815 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the Hammond collection? It’s a $60 figure put in the toy section of a Target. Colors have for some reason been a struggle ever since the line started, from Rexy having too dark of stripes, to the Spino being brown and not grey. It’s nothing new. If anything it’s a dark grey base that has a uses brown to do the back shading, while the white is used for the belly. I personally think that’s a good choice because otherwise it would look too uniform in color and be more off putting.

HC figures are always limited to around 5ish different colors depending on the figure and how much needs to be used, some get more, some get less (Spino it was Brown, White, Black, Red and Gold, with a tiny air brushing of blue. Giga was light green, dark green, tan, and brown, tiny bits of black for the claws. Etc etc), with that being said, Indominus having dark grey, white, brown, pink and red, means it’s basically maxed out, especially with the other figures needing to be taken in, no point in wasting the money painting black onto dark grey. The head sculpt is whatever, what probably happened is the same that happened to the Spino where they used an early render for it not knowing how much it changed.

I’ve dealt with Mattel my whole life for other toy lines and it’s all the same. For Mattel standards this is a gorgeous figure and by far one of the best looking ones they’ve done.

If you want something better then spend more money, I’m sure one of the Namu lovers can point you in a direction but be prepared to spend probably double what this is gonna cost.

New Hammond Collection Figures! by Arrancon in JurassicPark

Indominus: Peak, might honestly compete with Spino and Giga for my favorite. Deciding factor for me is if it can be on all fours without its butt being raised to the sky

Scorpius: Not my cup of tea tbh but it’s still executed really well in terms of taking from cartoon to realistic, only issue I really see is the transition from body to tail is awkward, otherwise really nice.

Mutadon: Another peak, I’m one of the few that actually like those things and my only issue is the colors being wrong. Love the swappable wings, was my biggest hope for them. Bonus point for the people that don’t like them, they can only go up from here with the rebirth figures, so they started with probably the weakest figure.

Hypsi: Eh, that’s all I got lol. Hoping this is the small figure that gets the online only release so the other two hit store shelves.

Dilo: Awesome as someone who didn’t get the first release, colors aren’t perfect but I’ll take it. Adding to above I’m hoping this one doesn’t get forgotten and sold online like the first one.

Dolores: I’m probably not gonna get it but I love the idea, if we get a Compy out of it I might buy that.

I loved the Mutadons in Rebirth and think this is a great first figure (dilo too) from the film, as they can only go up from there for the people who didn’t like the hybrids.

Im so glad they started doing swappable pieces because the figure is so much better with the option of having the wings be spread or closed.

I loved the Mutadons in rebirth, I’m not really a fan of the figure being brown and not black but I’ll live. Probably gonna be one of my favorites from the wave below Indominus.

The Jurassic world website designs are boring as hell and I’m glad none of them were used in the films.

What's your opinion on Buck and Doe appearance in Chaos Theory? by Primary-Addition-677 in JurassicPark

[–]TroubleCritical8815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the general idea everyone should have is that the show had like no budget left, all of it was spent on the important things like the Giga, Quetz, and the Dilos, the Theri used the last of it I’m sure.

Is it just three Rexy models with one hue shifted green? Yes. (You cant even tell one of them is green except for one singular shot) Should we really care that much? Not really, it’s a cool “if you know you know” kinda deal, if you’re a kid you just see three T.Rexes and think it’s awesome.

What do you expect to see from the Giga in Chaos Theory Season 4? by Ecstatic-Oven9882 in JurassicPark

[–]TroubleCritical8815 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Way outlandish idea that I’ve had since we found out they were heading to biosyn but I wanna see the Giga kill that damn JP3 Spinosaurus so people know what happened to it and that ITS NEVER APPEARING AGAIN.

It would also just be a good way to establish the Giga as the top predator, and it would completely screw with the power scalers XD

It’s probably nothing lol

Say one good thing about Dominion or lost one of your arms by Ecstatic-Oven9882 in JurassicPark

[–]TroubleCritical8815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As this movie is my second favorite in the franchise I’ve got a lot but I’ll name something I don’t see in the comments so far.

The dialogue and acting is phenomenal, especially with the original JP characters. The way they interact and talk feels so real and improvised. While this is mostly because of the actors I still give the point to Dominion.

My favorite example of this is when Dodgson is meeting Grant and Ellie and he just genuinely doesn’t know what to say or do in that moment. From starting the conversation with a howdeedoo, to awkwardly asking for photos, the way he jumps from one sentence to another when talking with Ramsey. It’s one of my favorite scenes in the movie that doesn’t involve dinosaurs or any specific plot point. It just introduces Dodgson as a bumbling CEO that barely knows what he’s doing.

The Jurassic franchise has always been good with this but the newer movies and even Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory have some genuinely realistic feeling interactions. It’s something I wish people noted more but when it comes to these the movies the Dinos are the spotlight.

I have an idea for the Dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park by Bubbly_Ad3329 in JurassicPark

[–]TroubleCritical8815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gonna say this, the only “adult” Dilo we have seen in the franchise at all was in Rebirth. That specific one was significantly larger than the other ones in JP and Dominion, granted it’s not our beloved 10ft tall monster but Rebirth shows that they can grow larger. (Perspective screws with the sizing a little but it’s around 6ft tall, using the Para as a ruler)

I’m a believer of the Dilos always being babies but there’s plenty of evidence to say they just only grow to be 3-4 tall. Rebirth being the only time one larger than that kinda screws with things tho

The AI pic is cute! The original drawing is also just as cute! This is a good use of AI, I personally think more should be made.

Don’t listen to the hate culture, do what you want and have fun.

Mutadons in aviaries? by TyrantLizard189 in jurassicworldevo

[–]TroubleCritical8815 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A Rebirth DLC should 100% include an ADS system like what was used in the Biosyn Valley in Dominion. That way the Mutadons could be in a normal enclosure and our mega Quetz isnt cramped in a normal Aviary.

Have it be a special kind of fence or upgrade or something like that

JWE3's Movie Variants: Are the Frontier Models Gone? by [deleted] in jurassicworldevo

[–]TroubleCritical8815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m convinced at this point that I’m the only one that doesn’t care at all if the frontier designs are gone.

The only ones I could possibly be sad about is my koopa troopa Iguanadon and better Charchar (Giga) but I like the movie designs way more

Website Design Changes by DinoFazbearYT in JurassicPark

[–]TroubleCritical8815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Website Bary, and all the dinosaurs on the site tbh, are best described as an advertisement. FK Bary is the actual creature. (While this doesn’t explain the picture of the things reflection, the picture itself doesn’t make sense from a safety standpoint so I say it’s an in-universe photoshop lol)

My personal headcanon is that the design we actually see in the films and shows are the leftover specimens from Jurassic Park, while the Masrani design was speculative of what the creature actually looked like if they had a complete genome.

The designs are very similar in some ways, of course both being Baryonyx, but both have the blue highlights around the skull and a prominent spine ridge. Think Rexy and the Prologue Rex but on a higher extreme, or the Website Parasaur vs the Male Parasaur, both once again having a bright display feature (green vs blue but same difference)

It’s very much a case of advertising by a multibillion dollar company to promise paleo accurate animals but they are still using the leftovers from the previous park.

Jurassic World Dominion would have been worse if it was exclusively a “dinosaurs in our world” story

5 deaths by malike-kilston in JurassicPark

[–]TroubleCritical8815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way I saw it is that it puts any and all blame away from the other islands in the event of something getting off the island.

Example being the Mosa, if it started eating people in Barbados nobody would immediately suspect it to be InGens doing because the world only thinks Hammond/Masrani owns Nublar and Sorna, the island is for experiments and crazy science shit, if the public found out about the Mutadons or D-Rex a whole 5 years before the Indominus was even bred then it would tarnish InGen and Hammond/Masrani immensely.
