Jurassic Park series 1 Robert Muldoon
The Jurassic Park series 1 Robert Muldoon toy was released in 1993. It was designed based on early sketches for the character, long before the Bob Peck casting was done. This explains why the face and body sculpt is way off compared to the movie…
Jurassic World T-Rex Lockdown
T-Rex Lockdown is a playset featuring the Jurassic World gate and a Tyrannosaurus Rex figure. The set is clearly inspired by the Jurassic Park III Raptor Attack set, which in return re-used the accessoires of the Jurassic Park Command Compound from 1993. Although the Jurassic World…
Jurassic World Ceratosaurus
Ceratosaurus is part of the Jurassic World wave 2 line. Although this dinosaur didn’t appear in Jurassic World, it had a small cameo in Jurassic Park III. There are some design elements and colours that are very similar to the Jurassic Park III version of…
Jurassic World Dilophosaurus
Dilophosaurus is one of my favorite Jurassic Park characters. I see her as the Boba Fett of the Jurassic Park Cinematic Universe. Unfortunately she only appeared in the first movie and had a small cameo in Jurassic World. But that didn’t stop Hasbro from producing…

Quite a few years back in 2008 I visited the Universal Studios park in Hollywood. I had been to the Orlando resort before and quite a few times after (last time was last year). But there’s something special about the Hollywood park: first it’s an…
The Lost World: Jurassic Park – Parasaurolophus
The Parasaurolophus is an electronic dinosaur from the The Lost World: Jurassic Park toy line. Sadly, in my opinion, the dinosaur has just one flaw. One of its legs sticks weirdly out to the back (not shown on the pictures) to make it look like…
Box artwork: Bush Devil Tracker
If there was something that Kenner REALLY owned back in the 80’s and early 90’s, it must have been their amazing box artwork. I vividly remember staring at these boxes in the toy store and see those scenes come to live in my mind. Copyright Kenner / Hasbro…
Chaos Effect: Compstegnathus
Compstegnathus is part of the Chaos Effect line which was released in 1998 after the succes of The Lost World: Jurassic Park. It featured hybrid dinosaurs that were created by mixing the DNA of different species (Jurassic World anyone?). The design of most new sculpts look…
