Update on 7/15/18 to include Amazon product links.
I
will be writing five – yes, five - blog
posts about Toy Fair NY 2018 and the categories will be:
• Jurassic World and Dinosaurs
· Building,
Educational and Character Themes
• My Favorite Dolls and Plush
• Games, Puzzles and Books
• Great Products from Small and New Companies
The
Jurassic World theme is so big that it deserves its own category. It seems like ALL of the big companies will
have either Jurassic World or dinosaur theme toy releases to
compliment the expected blockbuster movie. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will
be released in June. Grandparents – it is
time to brush up on your dinosaur and Jurassic knowledge, it is going to come
roaring in like the nor’easter storm that just ravaged us here in New
Jersey.
Besides
Toy Fair, I attended a special Universal showcase at the Copacabana rooftop
venue featuring everything Jurassic World so there are some “extras” in this
preview.
Important
Note: The pictures are all my own from
the displays I saw – no stock photos here – just the real thing. Some of the items not out on the market yet, and
so I can’t offer a link for purchase right now.
Super Colossal Tyrannosaurus Rex by
Mattel

Super Colossal Tyrannosaurus Rex by Mattel |
This
huge TRex is the star of Jurassic World and she was the star of the Universal
show. At over 3 feet long she towered over the other toys on display – one might
say rightfully so. The demonstration of the articulated
jaws, eating and then “passing” this human figure drew a crowd. Listed at $54.99 and is already
available at Amazon.

Jurassic World Power Wheels
How about powering up this beauty instead of a traditional Jeep. Oh they have the Jurassic version of that too.

LEGO
already had a popular Jurassic theme line and it will expand with 13 new
construction sets associated with the movie across its lines. Here are a couple that I have pictures of
from Toy Fair.

LEGO DUPLO T. rex Tower
Toddlers
and their parents can build this set together, which features a T. rex with
opening jaw, revolving lookout tower, car and an Owen LEGO® DUPLO® figure.
The
tee shirts are already stocked and more patterns are on the way. Available on Amazon and at Forever 21.
Designer Dresses
I don't have the designer information about these dresses in my notes but take my word for it - they are probably not in your budget. Certainly not in mine.Designer Dresses
Plush Dinosaurs by Gund
These soft, bright dinosaurs by GUND will let even the youngest family members join in the hottest theme of the year.
This is not a Jurassic World set, but it is an excellent playmobil quality dinosaur playset. In addition to the dinosaur it includes the explorer vehicle with a functioning winch and crane, a figure, pond, tree and accessories.
Well that is enough about Jurassic World and dinosaurs. Not much is available just yet. I will add links to Amazon as products become available
