User blog:Dinosaurus1/What 2020 new species from Mattel will appear in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous?

Hello, fellow JP/JW Wikians.

Today, I have decided to make a speculation blog where you guess which species from Mattel’s 2020 line of 17 new species will debut in the Jurassic Park/World Franchise’s first ever official animated series slated to release in 2020; Camp Cretaceous.

Now lets get one thing clear; Jurassic Outpost has released an article about this news (you can go here to take a look), and they did confirm that Camp Cretaceous will have some species that appear in the new species 2020 line.

While many of these species are designed just as toys, Mattel did confirm that quite a few will be based upon the upcoming Netflix animated series Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, and even went as far as showing the previously revealed trailer during the panel.

This means that not all 17 species will appear in the animated TV series, but some of them will appear in the show. Mattel revealed three so far; the Cryolophosaurus, the Alioramus, and the Edmontosaurus.



Now, I have shared my opinion on the three species not long ago, and I’ll state them here again.


 * Cryolophosaurus: This dinosaur is what I considered the best figure revealed so far for me, mainly because it just feels like a Jurassic Park/ World design. The coloration was also reminiscent of a Jurassic Park III coloration, and the design in general really reminded me of this photo of a theropod dinosaur charging at the screen. I can personally imagine this dinosaur design on the video cover being repurposed off of the Mattel Cryolophosaurus, and I can think of the result being epic and a truly memorable design.

 * Alioramus: I’ll be honest, when this figure of the Alioramus was first revealed, my reaction to it was a bit “meh” and just average in an alright way, due to it looking so much like its bigger and much more famous relative, the T. rex, in the film canon with its coloration. However, time has passed, and as of writing this, I have started to love the design. In fact, I have happened to love it just as much as the Cryolophosaurus, and can envision that both dinosaur designs (if they debut in Camp Cretaceous) will become my favorite dinosaurs from the franchise. Speaking of debuting in the TV show, I happened to notice an important and hintful detail from seeing this video that states that this animal is around the size of the film canon Velociraptor but it happens to be very aggressive. This really does grab my attention, as it feels canon-ish to me. If it does appear, then it can be the tyrannosaurid equivalent to the film canon Velociraptor, and will just be as dangerous.


 * Edmontosaurus: A dinosaur that has been in the film canon of the franchise for a long time. If it appears in Camp Cretaceous, then it will be a dinosaur that will follow the same fate as the Baryonyx; a dinosaur that is canon but hasn’t appeared until a recent installment comes. However, if anything, I would really like to talk about its design. I have noticed that it is at least inspired by the JW Website Artwork, which are too out-of-place (as in accuracy and coloration) for the canon dinosaurs they represent and among the other dinosaurs. Yes, I am aware of the fact that Mattel has also inspired their Suchomimus and Metriacanthosaurus from the Website, but those feel more in place with the rest of the canon dinosaurs than the Edmontosaurus Mattel has made. Its green colored head makes it out of place with the body, sporting a tan markingless body with a grey stripe from the tail to the arms and the grey on the neck. It’s not a bad design per-se, but I really do feel like it could have been made to feel more like Jurassic Park/World.

Alright, now with my opinion out of the way, lets get to the point.

I predict that the Edmontosaurus will appear in the show because not only was it residing on Isla Nublar during the 2015 Incident, but it was still alive at the time before the Fallen Kingdom Era. However, I also predict that the other two revealed dinosaurs, Cryolophosaurus and Alioramus, will also debut as well. As for the rest of the blacked out species, I could predict that some will appear in the show as well.
