That was the last figure I bought as well. I got it at my Gamestop's going out of business sale for 40% off before the shutdown |

Not just Mattel Hasbro likes to cast in the clothes color and paint flesh tones on the torsos as well.  |

My Jurassic Park Owen Grady arrived from Amazon last night.  |

I just wish they would make figures from The Lost World Jurassic Park |

I've managed to restrain myself from collecting this line, but that is seriously cool.

...guilty.
I don't talk much about this but I started with the SDCC Rex last year and have been gradually picking up all sorts of JP stuff (tons of dinosaurs and people) and beyond like bushes, trees, modeling goo, etc. My goal is to build a massive setup similar to a model train but just for these figures and the park. I'm not shooting for accuracy, mostly just a general sense of 'Jurassic Park' with some of my favorite elements included (I'm a huge fan of aquatic dinosaurs so I'm trying to work that into a water table and a river). I think they really hit the sweet spot scaling these at 3.75 as it allows for maximum playability and still some collector considerations for higher end pieces (Hammond Collection).
It's pretty ambitious but I have amassed so much stuff I can't back out now haha.
With that, these gates are amazing and if they don't get funded I am going to cry. The custom printed ones on Etsy aren't nearly as good and it's not something I'd look at making myself so this is a key part of my ambitious 'model park' that I don't want to have to make. I'd love fence pieces, etc but those look much easier to build.
Also if anyone wants a thread about this line in general I'd contribute.

This is a line I wouldn’t mind jumping in to if I didn’t have so much other crap. I’m completely overwhelmed with the lines I currently collect so I definitely don’t need to be adding anything else. But if I had unlimited space, I’d be all over this.

But if I had unlimited space, I’d be all over this. I hear you on that...I like this line because it's a little more...neutral, if that makes sense. With wrestling, comic books, even some stuff like TMNT, the personalities and infighting overwhelm me a lot of times. No one can really fight much about dinosaurs (although I've come to find that people who prefer paleo accurate things and of course film specific details can be just as cranky as detail oriented folks anywhere else). |

I've bought everything from this line for my son and I've doubled up on all of the human characters I wanted for myself. Everything except the SDCC lawyer/Rex set. I just outright gave that to him because I thought it was hilarious but wasn't willing to buy two at the price. He loves that scene. I think it's going to struggle to get backed. We've gotten all of this stuff before other than the gate and the goat. They didn't even commit to the fencing around it other than the one shock piece. It just feels like there is not enough to it for the price. I have T-Rex fatigue from this line. They've released so many. I know the Hammond Collection stuff is technically different but it's not different enough for me, or really what my son is doing with it, to have all these different paint variations. Raptors and the T-Rex feel done to death from Mattel. Also, I got the Outpost playset already for my son. Which has play features. This seems more like a backdrop for play with some sounds. Would have been nice to see them go a little more down that road with this imo. More like the Kenner Command Compound, I suppose. Anyway, I'll get him one, but my expectations aren't very high that people are going to hit the goals. It feels pretty under cooked beyond the doors.  |

I resisted this line until I saw, and bought, the Hammond Collection Tyrannosaurs Rex. Then I bought the Ford Explorer set, the Hammond Triceratops, Raptor and a few humans. I talked myself into not getting anything more unless it's a Hammond Indoraptor or Spinosaurus. However, this crowdfund is very tempting. Everything looks great and $250 is very reasonable.

Wasn’t Doctorwhofan a fan of this line? The only figures I bought from the JP line were the 3.73” Sam Neal and both the 3.75” and 6” Chris Pratt figures.

Hoping to do some type of video of the development for fun. Might take a while but I don't want it to be something I just do forever that never ends...so you for sure will! |

Yeh I just saw this, it's a nice piece for JP fans.
Jurassic Park as a franchise isn't something I'm that into personally, but I actually do collect the Hammond Collection just because they're nice dinosaur figures. I have no interest in the humans, accessories or fictional dinosaurs, but I'll buy all the real dinosaurs they make and I hope they make lots more, including all the real dinosaurs featured in the film, a bigger Triceratops hopefully (since the previous one was way too small), and also (real) dinosaurs not featured in the films if possible, like a Plesiosaurus. Licensors should allow toy companies some freedom to expand the franchises IMO.
