IN DEPTH REVIEW of the Hammond Collection GIGANOTOSAURUS by Mattel 

Best Hammond Collection. That’s it, that’s the comment

Best review ever!! I seriously hope Mattel watch this before they make the Spinosaurus prototype.

All points covered professionally. Thanks, Marco. And thank you for listening, Mattel. This is the direction to go. 👍

LOOK MUM! I’M ON THE TV!! 0:31

I am so glad Mattel is finally improving and listening to the community. The problem is how far the sculptors will go into looking at the reference material but I hope Mattel will continue to put the efforts they put into Theri, Giga and Carno to other figures in the future outside the Hammond Collection.

Something that I recently noticed while I was looking the JW Dino Style Guide and some Giga footage from Dominion, is that the feets are actually different compared to what we got in the figure. The feets on the Giga are more similar to the Indominus Rex feets while the figure feets are more kinda like the T-Rex one. So if anyone is picky about that detail, I guess a future HC replacement feets would be valid.

Congrats on getting the Hammond collection giga marko 🎉

The Seagulls saw a figure of their cousin 65 million years removed and got gassed

I’m not complaining about this Giganotosaurus figure at all, he’s looking great for me plus I love the tail articulations and small feet.

Waiting for the new quality control issue, two left legs and upside down jaw 😂

4:59 I completely agree with your words. I saw this many times. Since the days when Hasbro had the JW license And now this is happening with Lego. They mostly reused old parts from other dinosaurs and created just one or two new parts for one species of dinosaur. For example, Giga. They reused the head of Indominus Rex (I don't mind that too much, it looks fine and looks just like how the thing looks like in the movie but not exactly perfect, it was disappointing tho.) And reused t rex arms which has 2 finger. Baryonyx and Therizino reused indoraptor body with only a new head (new arms for the Theri tho) and the result of their reuse of the Indoraptor's body was that they has a sickle claws (so bruh) And Carno and Allo reused Indominus Rex Body which has the same size as t rex. Clearly, Lego cares more about money and profits than listening to fans or making products that consumers want. And luckily nowaday Mattel doesn't do that much. They may have some cost-saving strategies. But nowdays, we see that Mattel is trying to listen to fans and make their figures better and better. Although it is still not complete ly perfect. But at least they proved to us that they were trying to. And they can definitely keep doing better.

Hammond collection should start reworking some of the older figures sculpt and proportions like the Tyrannosaurus rex, triceratops, parasaurolophus, velociraptor and etc

This figure would make a great base for a custom carcharodontosaurus

Its so exciting to watch your videos and you did surprisingly better then my review

I don't like the JWD Giganotosaurus one bit, but, this figure gives it nicer teeth which makes me like it *slightly* more

This figure is so good in the beyond the gates episode i didnt think this was real i thought it was fake.

WHOOP WHOOP! The review we’ve all waited for 🙌

Mattel, please rerelease your previous Hammond Collection with the correct proportions this time.

I've been waiting for this!

Epic review will happen

This will be interesting

Did you order yours off mattel creations? I did, and it took longer than expected to arrive. Luckily, mine didn't have any defects. Hope yours will be ok.

THIS WILL BE INSANE REVIEW

I remember being so gutted when I realised your April Fool's pic was a joke. Glad we finally have one that isn't far off your prediction. 😁

Row, what is it gonna be now?

B B PM that’s gonna be 9 pm when the food is gonna stop your way you can’t start video had to go to sleep at 9 pm

I’m getting that gigantosaurus and therizinosaurus we need more like Spinosaurus and indominus Rex love it can’t wait for your Hammond collection blue review and you fixing the stripe on blue 😊

i wish target wasn't sold out when I got it :(

this is so cool

This is gonna be good

Hopefully when the spino relases it doesn t look derpy

Thank you so much for this review, I've been thinking of buying it but was hesitant and waiting for you to release a video for the Giga XD

Question is does it size up to the Rubbersaurs giga or is it just another rock in the road

I'm glad Mattel redeemed themselves since the Carno release

Such a pleasant review of the Giganotosaurus, Marco.

The seagull: alr alr let me get this straight you want me ME to shut up while you just talk about random dinos to a camera Marco: yea.. (no hate to Marco i just wanted to make a funny story)

Im just hoping a Hammond collection spinosaurus is on its way soon!

Is there a chance that old ones like Cerato, Parasaurolophus, Triceratops, among others will return with more correct points in the mold, like an updated or ultimate version?

No, when people say I’m the only one here they’re just kids I’ve got kids were saying

While the head might be inaccurate to the film from a forward facing angle, in real life the Giganotosaurus had laterally placed eyes and for a large theropod lacked a high degree of binocular vision so I don’t mind not being able to clearly see the Gigi’s eyes on the Hammond collection figure as it makes it more accurate to the real animal, granted the movie giga lacks any real resemblance to the real thing, like what’s going on with its back?

Congrats on getting the giga Marco! Haven't had much luck on my part, but the hunt continues! Also, side topic. Can you do a repaint tutorial on the hammond collection blue figure? The strip going across the thigh and not over it is the biggest flaw with the figure and I'd like to see you repaint it, if possible.

At least it's not whatever Tamashii Nations is doing with the monsterverse

You will customize and Paint the Giga ?

Besides the quality control issues, my biggest issue is the arms. He’s got spino sized arms. Though big arms are an issue that I noticed with these figures. I guess they can’t make them smaller? Otherwise a pretty good figure.

I got this Hammond collection and it looks like a indominus Rex due to the arms but it’s very good though the sculptors really did their jobs! (Little off but it’s alright)

When I first saw this thing, I was surprised it was a Mattel figure. They have improved SO much since I last bought a Hammond collection. My last one was the Tyrannosaurus, and I used to say that was the best one of the bunch, but since then, I've been noticing more and more flaws. First off, the proportions (of course), and second, I really don't like the eyes on the thing. It makes the figure look like a Transformer. And for me, it felt so out of place, that I've changed my opinion.

Mine arrived at the same day of the video premiere, and luckily it didn't have quality control issue. I'm very happy to add this new apex predator to my collection.

Honestly, j don't think the feet and arms with the sculptors issue. My theory has been that the proportions were actually modified by the factories floor managers, they often do last minute hcange sfor issues with balancing and such.

This is a great video! I love it! And please make the camp Cretaceous and chaos theory style guide

Great video! A great improvement from Mattel with this new figures. Hope to have a upgraded re-release for previous figures and I can´t wait for a male t-rex, spinosaurus and indominus!

I've never been one to get hung up on screen accuracy to an unhealthy degree. It gets more right than wrong. I'm cool with it being slightly different from the movies. Anyone who looks at the toy will know exactly where it is from and that's all it has to do. Keen to pick it up but it has been a real thorn in the side to find in Australia.

I love the Terizinasaurus I just bough today, and look forward to this Giga! The joint strength has improved imo compared to the looseness of the HC t rex, so if this giga is similar to the strength of my Theri, I am looking forward to this. This should be the mainline, the only line, the quality Mattel's toys should be. HC at its best should be the standard imo. Are they more expensive? yes. However, I think fi they focused and produced more of these guys as their mainline instead of a collector offshoot, that could help with prices.

honestly criminal that they made the giga before the Spinosaurus!

the triceratops is my all time favorite dino. i was really disappointed with the hammond triceratops. the size and the beak doesnt even open. a release of the triceratops is needed

But over the next 20 years, we always feared the Harvesters would return to invade the Earth once again and this time, successfully extract the Earth's core and ultimately destroy the entire planet.

I feel like the arms are creative liberty more than anything, at least for the case of the Giga. I wouldnt be surprised

Great review, Marco! This Giga is a beaut and is a major improvement over the mainline version. Man, the more that these new figures improve, the worse that the awful HC Rex looks. I really hope she gets a reworked figure because if anyone deserves it, it's the Rex.

Amazing review, am definitely trying to get this figure before summer ends down here

Me: Okay where's the size comparison Marco: Nah I don't feel like it

8:16 "nice Niche one small issue im inside your ecosystem" t rex

Your criticism just comes down to you just being whiny and nitpicky, and your whole comparison of restaurant food doesn't make sense whatsoever :/ Like the arms are perfectly fine and and the head "criticism" just comes off as you being way to nitpicky, it is still great and accurate enough. It doesn't have to be 100% spot on :/

If only they applied the methodology Mattel’s using here for Thomas as what they did to him is unexpected I thought the miller era and bwba was bad but the new series they made called all engines go is just paw patrol masked as Thomas

You know, in the movie Independence Day, the Harvester aliens had their 1st invasion all planned out when they invaded Earth in 1996. Like, On July 2nd, the Harvesters arrive. July 3rd, they lay waste to Washington, DC, New York, Las Vegas, and London. The on July 4th, we fight back and celebrate OUR INDEPENDENCE Day!

I know the 4th of July tomorrow is an American holiday, but I just want to show you some holiday spirit. Okay?

Marco~! Are you also going to make a custom head for giganotosaurus?

When are you going to do a custom paint on this

Can you do an in-depth review of the Therizinosaurus next?

At least the Giga front view is better than the other giga

How do I get one in the uk?

I really want this figure the Jwd giga is one of the best genetically modified dinosaurs of the franchise and one of my personal favourite Jp/w dinos

I still haven’t seen a single Giga figure at any targets.

It's a hard 1 because I'm not sure I wanna buy the figure now, the hands and face sculpt I'm not a fan of especially the front of the face, it's so frustrating that HC had all the model files from the movie and didn't use them and turned them into action figures, they have all the gadgets and stuff then us 😂

The Giga at minuto 10:37 lol hehe the giga: seriously this is me?

for the algorithm, to my new fav in the HC line!

Mattel should be taking notes from Marco

Let's at least be really great full that we at least got the figure. Not saying that all the criticisms aren't valid, I'm just sayin'.

Pls review the Hammond Collection Therizinosaurus is really good I still love Gigantosaurus it's my favorite dinosaur I know a lot of people ain't a fan an don't like the Gigantosaurus from dominion I really like it and interesting design and cool sounds it's better than the main line one sure it's ok for the figure I get the torso alot of people hate how the torso is side ways and not posed normally it has cool sounds let's be honest this Hammond collection Gigantosaurus is better and love I love it so much

Teacher Marco and i hope you need this giganotosaurus can be rework

👍

The giga didn't have the vision that the rex had. Its eyes were on the side of its head. edit: It did have steroscopic vision, to some extent

9:49 That's a disturbing image lol

I might customize the giga into the Blox fruits trex fruit transformation

Marco makes where did u saw the cgi the name

They need to reissue the hc trike it’s too small

Im the only one here?

Tbh I like the bigger arms better on the giga

You need to come out with some replacement tongues

The Hammond Carnotaurus has the worst articulation out of the 3 Hammond figures you mentioned and the neck doesn't even rotate. The Carnie also has a weird cheap plastic-y look to it. Both the Giga and Theri are much better than the Carnie.

At least its better than thehasbro indom

I don’t mean to be a try hard I really don’t like the design of the giga its waaay too ridged

Maybe you can try your best to improve this figure.

Don't trust this guy. Everything he said is wrong

I’m getting that gigantosaurus and therizinosaurus we need more like Spinosaurus and indominus Rex love it can’t wait for your Hammond collection blue review and you fixing the stripe on blue 😊
