Something Has Survived!: Carnotarus (Action Attack) from Jurassic World by Mattel

    I'm checking out another Jurassic World toy today and this time it's the Carnotaurus! While Carnotaurus didn't appear in any of the Jurassic Park films directly, Carnotaurus DNA is a part of the genetic makeup for the Indominus Rex from Jurassic World. The Carnotaurus has shown up in the trailers for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, however, so the "meat-eating bull" is finally getting a chance to appear on the silver screen. Well, in a Jurassic Park film, anyways. The Carnotaurus appeared in the 2000 film Dinosaur which means lots of folks are pretty familiar with this species. I gotta admit, I'm pretty excited to see this one in the film. This version is the Action Attack Carnotaurus, which is Mattel's name for larger dinosaurs that feature traditional action features. Ready for a closer look at the Carnotaurus? Then let's check it out after the break...

Something Has Survived!: Island Transport Team from Matchbox: Jurassic World by Mattel

   Since I reviewed the Legacy Collection Jurassic Park vehicles on Friday, today I'm checking out the Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom focused Island Transport Team set. Included are five Matchbox vehicles in one pack. While all five of these vehicles are available on single-packed cards, that version of the Armored Action Truck has a very different paintjob. I guess that means this set has an exclusive then? These are available at all stores, unlike the Island Explorers set which is only available at Target. Let's check out these vehicles after the break...

Action Figure Review: The Joker: Deluxe Edition from One:12 Collective DC Universe by Mezco

   For the first time in quite a while I'm getting a Mezco One:12 Collective review out in a timely manner! Today I'm checking out the Mezco exclusive figure of The Joker: Deluxe Edition. Last year Mezco released their own take on Batman's most famous nemesis and while it was a solid action figure, it certainly was lacking in some ways. While Mezco didn't fix all of the problems with the figure, they did release this deluxe edition that adds in lots of cool extras. I mean lots. This figure isn't as loaded down as the Fully Loaded Punisher figure, but it is close and feels like one of the most deluxe releases in the line to date. Being a huge fan of the Joker, I preordered this one right away. Since I reviewed the basic figure last year, which shares the general overall body and style of this figure, I have reused some of the text from that review. While you certainly may want to check out that older review for a comparison, I've tried to point out what is new here by using italics. If it is written in italics than I'm talking about something that is new and unique to this figure or that differs from the previous release. How does that sound? Ready to show that you "love that Joker?" Then join me after the break...

Something Has Survived!: Island Explorers from Matchbox: Jurassic World: Legacy Collection by Mattel

   I've mentioned in previous reviews that Mattel's Jurassic World toyline (which is largely based on Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, to be clear) has a Legacy Collection subset available exclusively at Target, the Matchbox line also has a Legacy Collection subset at Target as well. Based on vehicles from three of the four Jurassic Park films, the Island Explorers set offers up the iconic cars from the original film, the two possibly memorable vehicles from the Lost World, and a maintenance truck from Jurassic World. To be honest, it's a pretty nice collection and considering that you pay around a buck a car, it's pretty appealing for Jurassic Park fans and collectors of entertainment cars. Just for your information, these cars are available separately on single cards, but picking up the full set it definitely easier. Let's check out the Island Explorers set of Matchbox vehicles after the break...

Action Figure Review: Batman: Ascending Knight (Mezco Exclusive) from One:12 Collective: DC Universe by Mezco

 I've actually had the Mezco exclusive Batman Day 2017 Batman: Ascending Knight figure for over a month now but I held off on reviewing him. Initially it was because I wanted to review the standard version first and then I was busy reviewing Solo and Jurassic Park stuff. I'm not finally getting a chance to review this exclusive black and gold variant of Ascending Knight Batman and I'll just go ahead and say that I really do think I prefer this one to the standard. I like the standard figure (I gave it an Epic rating) but the black and gold color scheme just works really, really well here. Since this figure is really just a color variant I'm reusing my review of the basic figure here with all new pictures. For those places where the paint scheme is different, I'm including new thoughts and comments in italics! That way you can just check out the original review and then skim this one if you'd like. Let's crack this one open and check it out after the break...
