Very true.
There was a recent Deal between GI Joe and JP (Kenner) For the new movie, You see in the Allosaurus figure, That character, That is a GI Joe, Tooled for the JP Franchise. It was intended that all of these Higher end sets, (Some being a human and dino pairing, Others being just a human and vehicle or whatever, They jsut ahve to be paired) Were to be released with Jurassic GI Joes.
Now, Kenner was purchased by Hasbro (I believe, Correct me if i'm wrong) Thus they're allowed to pair the two together.
But, They will still release some of the older, less movable Action figures, (Repaints from Jurassic park 3) with JW Packaging.
Theres also more GI joe/Jurassic park (Presumably with Owen and Claire?) Sets to go along with the release.
With the authenticity of the baryonx, Sadly, It appears to be, Fake. *You're ruling is correct in everyway* It's identical to the Allosaurus in Build, Design, and Details. (The skin pebbling, and crests above the eyes).
It appears to just be a Modified version of Allosaurus with the head raised higher, and some photoshop changing of colours. It's VERY Poor-- A standard that is unacceptable by Hasbro. Hasbro wouldn't release a slightly edited version of the allosaurus, As it'd get a lot of judgement and lack of sales perhaps. (A lot of adults buy these Figurines, Which, Is the main base behind a lot of kids programs and toys.)
The logo on the right Theigh, Would be something that would make sense, As that appears to be the Park Crest... However, the Iconic Blended JP Could only ever be Replaced by a JW Logo, Of the similar Idea (With the left side of the W blending into the J).
The Rocket launcher is from one of the JP3 Repaints (Alan grant I believe), The action figure is a mash up of other toys, But does share a resembalance to Owen. However, It appears the the Feet or the Knees bend-- Something none of the Kenner toys could do (Except for the dinosaurs)
It's a tad, Just a tad, early to be seeing these aswell... Wouldn't you say? Their supposed to start the First wave in the spring of next year, Followed closley or accompanied by a Heavy marketting campaign.
