As far as human releases go, regular or Hammond Collection, we definitely need Franklin, but we also need characters who haven't gotten the action figure treatment: Hoskins, Nash, Cooper, Udesky, Mills, Ludlow, etc.
I do believe one of the factors over them not doing her 2015 look has to do with the limitations with articulations, given how she wears a skirt in that movie, a plastic skirt would hinder leg articulation and poseabillities for the figure, unless they went with a cloth skirt. i mean i have a Marvel Legends Gwen Stacy figure and since its based on her look when she died, she wears a skirt, but since its a plastic skirt the movement on the legs are limited. But since her FK/Dominion looks has no skirt that means articulation won't be affected. I do hope they do her JW look down the line, but i can totally see why they skipped that when you consider those factors, i think there would be an easier time doing an JW Claire figure it something like Hot Toys (which of course would be more expensive) did that given how they do use cloth for the characters figures allowing for the characters to move.
Totally a fair observation, but I don't think limited articulation is necessarily a reason to not release the figure. Look at the new version of Princess Leia from A New Hope in the Star Wars Vintage Collection line. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made. I don't think the length of the skirt would be hugely restrictive if I am honest.
Mattel just does not take collectors seriously, the JW/JP brand is so spread out with them having nostalgia focused Legacy stuff alongside the Hammond collection is so weird. I know kids love dinosaurs, but is the Legacy stuff really for kids?
I think it's a very valid point. Some of the LC and HC product we get is clearly with collectors in mind, but other sets, like the recent reveal, feel like they miss the mark somewhat.

I'd love all of these!
Would love a Roland Tembo Hammond collection, Dieter Stark too as he could come with a compy accessory.
It good to see the articulation and sculpts are getting better with the Hammond Collection.
Absolutely - the articulation is solid, and I love the sculpt for the jacket.
This second release of Claire looks indeed better.

@@JurassicCollectables I 100% agree with you there

Cool
I would strongly prefer the characters from The Lost World I’m not interested in anything beyond JPIII
Completely fair - there is definitely some room for more TLW in my book!

I think they do take us seriously, they are improving, they read criticisms.

I forgot about that helicopter set.
I don't see the difference.
