While the blog is currently full of Jurassic World toys, the pool of unreviewed, original Jurassic Park toys is far from exhausted yet! In another entry in the series of figures-I’m-surprised-haven’t-been-reviewed, we’ve reached the dinosaur hatchlings that came with the human action figures released by Kenner in tandem with Jurassic Park in 1993.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park is my favorite of the series thanks in no small part for its portrayal of Tyrannosaurus rex as both savage predators and caring parents, and I have been hoping for a Hammond Collection “Buck” ever since the release of “Rexy” and “Junior.” In 2023, Mattel offered the Buck as a stretch goal to their ill-fated Jurassic Park Gates crowdfund, and tried again in 2025 as a San Diego Comic Con/Mattel Creations exclusive–and succeeded.

It is with a heavy heart that I share my review of the Hammond Collection Dilophosaurus because I’m not the one that was supposed to review it. Fellow reviewer, EmperorDinobot (Luis Perez) was supposed to write about this one but on July 21st he passed away.

For this year’s San Diego Comic Con, Mattel is releasing the Tyrannosaurus rex Convention Crasher set. The outer box is styled to look like an old television set, broadcasting a familiar breaking story.
The inner box is styled to look like a convention centre, with frightened attendees streaming out the exit.

Although I no longer hold The Lost World: Jurassic Park in high regard, I do have nostalgia for it. I was 13 when the movie was released and I don’t think I was ever more hyped for a film, aside from the first Jurassic Park, perhaps.

With the influx of Spinosaurus toys from Mattel following the species’ reintroduction to the silver screen in Jurassic World: Rebirth it’s hard to keep track of all the bits and pieces produced of the T.

Although a brand new version of Spinosaurus will be appearing in Jurassic World: Rebirth, the old one from JP3 will be getting a Super Colossal toy this year.
And like other Super Colossal theropods, this one will be able to swallow miniature toys.

Two new Hammond Collections toys have been revealed. There’s the JP3 Spinosaurus (or does the totally new design in Rebirth now officially mean it’s a mutant?).
And here’s the Stegosaurus from The Lost World.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex Off-road Tracker Pack (Jurassic Park, 93’ Classic by Mattel)
3.5 (6 votes)
The Tyrannosaurus Off-road Tracker Pack represents the last set released in the short-lived Jurassic Park 93’ Classic line, which was replaced last year by the (so far) inferior Jurassic World Reimagined line. I suppose it makes sense that the line wouldn’t last too far past the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park but I think the entire range of toys released under it are some of Mattel’s best and most fun.
Review: Velociraptor (The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Site B Erasers by Impact Inc)

While the merchandise accompanying the release of the various Jurassic Park films ranged between everything from watches to bed-sheets, the most exciting items for me were of course the dinosaur figures. So I was happy to find this cool little Velociraptor figure with a big The Lost World logo on the packaging at a Copenhagen dinosaur exhibition back in 1998, only to find when I opened it that it was… A rubber pencil eraser?!

Check out this whopper of a set!
With 3145 pieces, it edges out T. rex Rampage as the biggest Jurassic-themed LEGO set. Like previous brick-built skeletons, it is poseable, although it looks like you may have to be careful to avoid pieces coming off.
Review: Dilophosaurus and Stegosaurus (die-cast metal dinosaurs)(Jurassic Park by Kenner)
4.6 (5 votes)
To my surprise, there are still figures that were released as tie-ins with the original Jurassic Park film in 1993 that lack reviews here, including the die-cast metal dinosaurs line by Kenner, who of course made the main action-figure line for the film as well.
