The snare does its job, though it doesn’t provide for as much action as most of the other weapons in this toy line. Tim has both poseable arms and legs and can move his head around. It's clear the cage wasn't designed for this figure specifically. Little Para fits in Tim's cage, but he sticks out somewhat, like he should have little difficulty from jumping out. It appears the main reason for this is the fact that it supports the figure, like a third leg, so it can stand in a tripod pose. The plump body is understandable for a baby dinosaur, but the tail is downright ridiculous: it looks deformed.
The paint job and skin texture isn't bad for a hatchling, and the head looks pretty good with the extra colour scheme on the crest. That leaves the new hatchling, the Parasaurolophus. The muzzle remains a rather dull instrument, but the goggles and cage are still fun extra gadgets. Tim's accessories are identical to those from his JPS1 counterpart no new paints jobs have been added. The new head sculpt which is supposed to look more like Joseph Mazello, isn't much of an improvement over the previous Tim figure in that regard, and the goofy look on this figure's face doesn't help either. The new colours of Tim's outfit aren't very imaginative, and not very pleasant to look at either, though that's a matter of perspective. The creature has small yellow eyes with tiny blue irises, and a black JP logo on its left upper leg.Īnalysis: like the other retooled JPS1 figures, there's not much new about this figure and the rest of the set. Additionally, a thick purple stripe runs over its snout and crest. The paint job is largely light grey, with a brown stripe running from the tip of the nose over the neck and back to the end of the tail and smaller brown stripes running out of the larger one. It has a small, gentile face and its head ends in a typical Hadrosaur crest. On closer inspection, this hatchling sports more skin detail than most other JPS1/2 hatchlings. This tail is rather short and stumpy, as if it's partially broken off. The Parasaurolophus hatchling stands up tall in a rather awkward and scientifically outdated way, as if it's one of those old pictures where you see a bipedal dinosaur standing up straight and dragging its tail on the ground.
They can be placed around his head, though it doesn’t always stay in place. Tim also comes with night goggles, coloured all dark grey. The cage can be opened and closed, but doesn’t spring open on its own accord. It has a hole in it for little captive dinosaurs to stick their neck out, but in some cases this might provide a means of escape. If the creature in question is small enough it might fit into the cage (coloured shiny metallic silver), though it was designed for the Brachiosaurus hatchling from the first toy line (but needless to say the new Parasaurolophus hatchling also fits in nicely). The string can be roped around a creature’s limbs or neck after which pulling the red end backwards makes the noose tighten, thus trapping the creature. A black string runs through the snare, attached to a removable red piece at the very end of the tube. Tim comes with a retracting snare, which is basically a long red tube with a handle on the lower back side so the figure can hold it. He has bright blue pants on and wears white sport shoes and socks. Around his chest he carries a (non removable) dark brown utility belt, while a light blue JP tag is found under this belt on the right side of the chest. He wears a yellow T-shirt with a blue collar. Tim’s hair, eyes and eyebrows are all painted in the same shade of light brown. Action feature: With Retracting Snare, Night-Vision Goggles, Cage & Parasaurolophus Hatchling.ĭescription: Tim stands in a largely neutral pose, though his lower right arm is raised a bit, and his left leg is moved to his side, making him take on a relaxed stance.
