Summer is almost over but oh boy was it full of excitement for all Jurassic World figures collectors.
July during the San Diego Comic-Con, Mattel, the toy company behind the popular Jurassic World franchise, has unveiled a new line of dinosaur toys called Epic Evolution which is scheduled to be released in 2024. At leats 14 brand new dinosaur species never released before and at least 6 returning re-sculptured figures of well known Jurassic World toys are expected to become available in toy stores and online retailers in 2024.
Everything started with some presentation screenshots showing exciting new dinosaur creatures and after multiple updates here is what we know so far:
Danger Pack
The Danger Pack sets are usually dinosaurs known for their pack mentality, hunting and attacking together. hey are available in both carnivores and herbivores, and each figure has movable joints, realistic sculpting, and authentic decoration.
Avaceratops
A new dinosaur that has never been released before. Personally I dig the two-tone color scheme. It’s great to see another smaller ceratopsian in the lineup.
Craterosaurus
A new dinosaur that has never been released before. Currently there are only few leaked images with bad quality.
Eoraptor vs Stegouros
A brand new set ot two dinosaurs never released before. They look amazing with high-contrast colouring. A must-buy for every fan.
Kileskus
A new dinosaur that has never been released before. Currently there are only few leaked images with bad quality.
Plesiosaurus
Returning dinosaur which from the leaked pictures looks to be beautifully sculpted and with a lot of fine details and unusual colouring.
Poposaurus
This is the first appearance of the Poposaurus in the Mattel Jurassic World lineup and I am sure is welcomed addition by the everyone.
Velociraptor
From the leaked picture the Velociraptor looks like the old models in terms of sculpting. The colouring is highly contrasting tones. Expecting better images to come up soon.
Strike Attack
The Strike Attack sets are usually dinosaur toys that have a single strike feature like snapping jaws, tail swipes etc.
Guaibasaurus
Another newcomer in the lineup is the Guaibasaurus with this first appearance. Great coloration although from the image it looks a bit like Eoraptor
Kaprosuchus
This one looks amazing. The new Kaprosuchus and its first appearance are eagerly expected by the fans. The figure appears to have an outstanding colouring as well as fine detailing. 2024 seems so far away right now.
Tuojiangosaurus
Another new addition to the lineup here is the mighty Tuojiangosaurus. The colouring scheme looks great, the armor plates on top are different colours than the spikes on the tail and looks like a fun figure to play and display.
Velociraptor
Returning Velociraptor looks like the old models in terms of sculpting. (maybe a bit more detailed though). The colouring is highly contrasting tones which I personally dig.
Wild Roar
The Wild Roar sets consist of medium-sized battery-operated dinosaurs with species-specific attacks and realistic sounds.
Ekrixinatosaurus
Say hello to the Ekrixinatosaurus. One of the best looking new additions to the Epic Evolution lineup. Just look at those cute front limbs and say you do not want to buy it.
Gryposuchus
We are all waiting for another crocodilian and the Gryposuchus is a welcome addition to the lineup. The sculpting and the colouring looks amazing on the pictures. And this time with sounds oh my god.
Hesperosaurus
An additional herbivorous is always welcome, especially in the medium-sized dinosaur toys. The colouring and the sculpting look fantastic. Hopefully, the motions and the sounds will be new too.
Megalosaurus
All hail the mighty Megalosaurus. This mean killing machine will be enjoyed by all we can not way to hear him roar.
Gigantic Trackers
The Jurassic World Gigantic Tracker dinosaur figures are impressive in size, measuring about 14 inches long and 6 inches tall. They have a side-to-side tracking motion and attack motion unique to each dinosaur species. Each figure also has removable tracking headgear and features authentic sculpting and realistic colors and textures for play or posing.
Neovenator
New addition to the lineup and very well painted one. The entire body seems to be painted in great detail. The tracking gear does not seems to be visible on the image though.
Triceratops
Beautifully painted Triceratops in cool white/light blue tones. Looks really good from the snapshot taken during the San Diego Comic-Con but we are waiting for the final product images.
Large Dinos
The Mattel’s Jurassic World Large Dinosaur figures are very large and usually require some assembling to be done. The toys are electronic with sounds and moving parts usually at least with two different buttons on the dinosaur body. Some of them have even light elements such as the Indominus Rex
Ruthless Rampage Allosaurus
The ferocious Allosaurus will finally receive a proper size figure. The only screenshots that we have are quite blurry and not much can be seen. Still, the figure will be adored by all for sure.
Vehicles
Recent Mattel collections often include vehicle and dinosaur sets. The vehicles usually have some sort of destruction feature a smashable parts for more entertaining play.
Mission Mayhem Truck Set
As we can see from the available images the set would include a very cool-looking truck with a special capturing device attached to the front. The set also includes an Einiosaurus that looks like the one from the Dominion collection but with a better colour scheme. Lets wait for more images to check if the sculpt is the same as well.
You can already find the new Epic Evolution lineup on our site here. Currently, the images are just placeholders and not official images. As soon as we have the original images we will update them accordingly.
Stay roarsome!
