IN DEPTH REVIEW of the Hammond Collection PYRORAPTOR by Mattel

[@thelittleal1212]

It’s great that Mattel has finally done the pyroraptors Wing arms right

[@GiganyxGaming20]

The thing is Mattel had already made the models for the 3 dominion pyroraptor figures before it got the big feathers cuz universal added the big feathers after the Mattel models were released and this is not their only “long feather pyroraptor” the Epic attack one has long feathers too.

[@rhino932toon]

The Hammond Collection Pyroraptor is such a massive improvement over the mainline toys with a better sculpt and a great paint job, I am so glad I got mine when I did and is officially my number 1 favourite figure in the Hammond Collection line so far. The one dinosaur I'm hoping for one day is to come into this line the Jurassic Park 3 Spinosaurus, which when it does, will be my number 1 favourite Hammond Collection figure! Great in depth review Marco!

[@lkungthe-nublarcollector3862]

I think there's one thing that you didn't mention about in this review. That is, the pyroraptor in the movie has lips like other species of raptors in the franchise. But strangely, Mattel chose not to give Pyroraptor lips from the beginning. Since the toy version in the mainline. Until now, the premium collector line, they didn't give it a lips either.

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

Yea I wish I put that in the review tbh.

[@toothkeitsunami2868]

It's very strange

[@vicente14568]

I can't wait to see if Mattel will do the Atrociraptor squad

[@PrimusEditz_24]

That will be a while. They’re taking this long for half the raptor squad, imagine trying to perfect an atrociraptor model

[@LethalSaliva]

I love the pyroraptor. It looks like a killer cockatiel🦜.

[@JurassicBattleDroid]

My theory is that the big thighs are purely a side effect laziness on Mattel’s part, it’s probably just slightly less effort to sculpt a figure with huge ball hips. This applies to the rest of the joints on most figures with most of them being visible circles which are extremely distracting lmao

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

It really seems so doesn't it

[@Colinsturges-e2q]

I’m definitely getting that pyroraptor I love the sounds of it and how mean it looks the feathers are amazing we need more feather Dino’s in the next Jurassic World movie 😊

[@Dandidoo624]

16:59 for some reason every small theropod in the hc has that… I seriously have never seen one without it so I don’t think it is a qc issue, just bad design that they don’t know how to fix

[@shinymk6562]

The size, the proportions, the actual feather son the arms! This figure is so good imo. Sure, once we actually deconstruct the figure, problems arise, but unlike the OG HC Raptors who looked like toys when compared to your 3D printed parts who looked like you ripped them straight oft he screen, this guy actually looks straight off the screen for the most part. The head really sells the look imo, as well as the general shape of the proportions. Most people won't notice hip and torso size inaccuracies right away, especially compared to the face which imo needs to look as accurate as possible because that is what your eyes are naturally drawn to. Brava Mattel for the most part on this guy imo.

Modern day dinosaurs adding their commentary.

[@MauroRex4883]

I just got my Pyroraptor and decided to apply the paint corrections you mentioned in the video, and the figure actually looks better. Plus I'm looking foward for that Wing extension that Rod is working on. Also, while I was looking at the box, I noticed that in the render the 3 finger claws are painted while in the figure it's missing the one you pointed up.

[@spartanvenom5388]

I feel the wide hip problem might have more to do with the size of the figure, as it may be far easier to fit this particular type of joint into a larger area. I’m still new to the line, with my first figure being the Therizinosaurus less than a week ago, and getting Delta yesterday. So maybe a comparison with a another smaller figure would help illustrate your point; this is just based on my experience as a Transformers fan, as not every type of joint can fit into a figure, hence Hasbro frequently using ball joints to take the place of two on smaller figures. 6:38 Also you didn’t need to edit that Ironman figure, it already has wider hips than it should.

[@speed_demon_031]

Ahh! Sloppy raptor jumpscare! 😂

[@brandonrobinson1603]

I think one of the biggest improvements that NEED to be done is those dark lifeless eyes! No matter how good a figure is, I don't one that doesn't have visible eyes which is where the human brain pays the most attention to when looking at anything with a face! Mattel: FIX THEM EYES

[@swe3t23]

Good looking dinosaur

[@Blue_Spinosaurus]

A hammond collectible figure I'd like to see is a cryolophosaurus

[@PerfectBlueBoyOP]

Excellent Video _Marco Makes_ :D Keep Up The Good Work

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

Thank youu 🥰🦖

[@margheritacurrao3120]

When does it come out?

[@ThitiwathChangcheen-u2o]

5:42 It's because this Carnotaurus is a bit bigger than raptor size, which makes it has enough space to put the articulation without a wide hips. I've already seen the inside of lately HC raptor. And I saw that the screw that lock the two legs were almost touching each other when moving and rotating the legs inside. Which mean if they have a thinner hips. They wouldn't be enough space to put this type of articulation. Unless they are going to make the legs rotate forward and backward only. therefore. Your theory about they don't look at reference material properly isn't a main problem of this. It's just one of part of the problem.

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

Thanks for pointing it out. So to me the problem now is how they balance modifying the sculpt of a figure to include that articulation and affecting the accuracy of the sculpt. I understand some people would prefer having a wider figure to accommodate that articulation at the expense of accuracy, but I personally fall into the category of those who would rather have a more picture perfect looking figure with the legs going back and forth than having that extra bit of articulation in the hips. I don't think it's needed at all. To those who think it's important to have that extra articulation, it's fine, it's just another point of view and there's both pros and cons to both aspects. It's up to us to decide what we prefer and that's ok 👍 also I respect how you opened the figure up too, it's always really fascinating to figure our how they design things, it helps so much when designing your own stuff. 🦖

[@ThitiwathChangcheen-u2o]

@MarcoMakesOfficial For me i prefer the thinner hips with back and forth rotation only just like you. But my comment is to point out that i look at the inside and made me realized why they made HC raptors hips so ridiculously wide. And that's because it would be enough space to put a screw lock for this type of articulation. It would be nice to see they decide to making HC raptor with thinner hips, although it might have to be sacrificed the in and out articulation.

[@kukamunga7336]

I think the painted on pupils look much better than the inside ones. I've painted them on to both my Giga and Rex.

[@JurassicGojiFan1993]

Im a bit confused right now, my HC blues eyes are incredibly visible in ordinary room light, but that contradicts the reviews online. Does anyone have an answer?

[@el_bman98]

I hope it goes up for preorder soon

[@Spiny_21]

I love this figure but also will you be reviewing the Therizinosaurus

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

Yess it's on my to do list. I absolutely figgin LOVE that therizinosaur figure! 😍

[@Sx1rrr]

I really want them to make a indominus rex or a jp3 spino

[@lilytalib7743]

Can't wait for the atrociraptor

[@spiderchanyes]

i really hope i can get this guy but where i live it's a real pain the ass to get stuff like this (and even the mainline stuff)

[@SheylaSheyla-ei3hc]

Who else doesnt like how the skin is too dark and it should be gray also the snout should be longer and thinner, this is a problem i have seen that mattel has made, most of their hammond collection figures have fat jaws, or thick snouts what do you think marco?

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

I agree with what you said. Yes they seem to make their dinosaurs thick and bulky rather than more slender.

[@SheylaSheyla-ei3hc]

​​@@MarcoMakesOfficial another Huge problem is that no matter how good the figure is, there will be paint chipping i have the carno and since the neck is limited, there is some bad paint rub

[@SheylaSheyla-ei3hc]

And with every single raptor aswell, even with the mainline and hc, i have a 2018 blue, and the teeth paint is chipped from the top, and now that i have the hc blue, it still have teeth paint chipping, im pretty sure EVERY raptor has teeth paint that us chipped (even the amber collection raptor has teeth chipping)

[@rhcp8390]

Having both bought the Pyroraptor and Delta today, it's odd that only Delta has painted toenails. At least it's an easy fix.

[@LiamDickson-n1o]

I’ve had to paint toenails on several of my figures, thankfully it’s no big deal at all. I’m glad this HC Pyroraptor at least looks 90% better than the previous releases.

[@rhcp8390]

@@LiamDickson-n1o What do you use?

[@LiamDickson-n1o]

@@rhcp8390 nothing special, just acrylic craft paint. It does the job and usually stays on.

[@godzilla44556]

Yesss

[@Godzillakuj94]

Def the best Pyroraptor from Mattel but man, something about it just looks really cheap compared to the rest of the line.

[@jimroberts3009]

Do they make the hips wide and the feet large so that the figures can stand up correctly? Narrower hips and smaller feet may make the figure top heavy and more likely to fall over. 😊

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

The feet size doesn't matter as proven with their recent releases and the replacement parts. The width of the hips play no part in making something too or bottom heavy.

[@samuelebussolari4659]

Guys I would like to buy the Hammond Collection Tyrannosaurus Rex Is It worth It? (If not what figure should I buy?)

[@Gamer-pn6js]

Those things are expensive, but you decide.

[@tokensdam]

If you want to, you can, it's not a bad figure at all but nowhere near accurate looking. If you don't care about accuracy, then I'd say sure go ahead if you can find one

[@JurassicBattleDroid]

Get a BOTM rex or something lmao

[@Atticus_Art]

Hello Marco, Atticus here once again, asking once again to see if you can make more replacement parts for the mattel Indoraptor to give it a Hammond Collection style tail and new posable feet. Please make this, I am begging you, it would be an awesome addition to my collection.

[@sorasart]

Marco can’t make a poseable tail with a wire because the rubber we use doesn’t react well to having a wire. Also it’s RodsRandomWork who makes the poseable feet for the Rex, so you would be better off asking him to make the feet.

[@Atticus_Art]

[@rodristrongest]

The Hammond collection line has many irregularities. Only The Giganotosaurus, T Rex, Diplodocus, Terizonosaurus and Carnotaurus are worthy. The Triceratops is just ok. There rest looks like Playskool Toys or Imaginext stuff.

[@Andrewtops781]

Diplodocus? I don’t remember there ever being a Hammond Collection Diplodocus.

[@Two_Jumpykatz]

The baryonyx is pretty good too

[@peacemaker3538]

“What if hasbro released a figure with super wide hips” they recently did 💀

[@tokensdam]

I'm gonna take back what I said, this is the only small HC figure I'm ok with. But that's it

[@Dinologan1015]

Still can't believe they have the audacity to have all the claws painted on the box art/renders, but deliberately have not all the finger claws painted

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

Yes that's so shameful, also the fact that they have to edit the eyes in the promo pictures cause they know they look bad. It's legit false advertising. Remember some time ago people would sue for the most ridiculous cases of false advertising? Someone needs to do that here lol

[@colinsturges319]

That pyroraptor is amazing figure but I do agree with the paint Mattel needs to stop cutting cost with paint on a collector's figure they shouldn't do that at all its bullshit the eye like a 100% agree like they need to do the glass eyes better I still really like the figure but it needs more paint on the feathers and the body and the toe nails including the other finger nails

[@DacentrurusArmatus]

Wow, they didn't fully ruin it

[@gabriyt227]

hello

[@cyclopes683]

the lack of lips is so infuriating, i can excuse everything else but the lack of lips is gonna stop me from buying this tbh, just makes it look much worse for me

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

Oh yes I totally forgot the teeth should not be visible when the mouth is closed. They did it right with the velociraptors so they have no excuse with this one

[@cyclopes683]

@@MarcoMakesOfficial i have a theory that this happened because they based it on early concept art for the Pyroraptor that had no lips, but everything else on the figure seems to be based on the movie design, it's such an odd thing to miss, unlucky to me something i care about too lol

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

Yea it wouldn't be the first time that mattel would be using early concept art instead of final designs. But man I wish I mentioned that lip inaccuracy in the video, it's bothering me so so much now
