If you are looking for a Dilophosaurus for your collection, the Jurassic World Amber Collection Dilophosaurus by Mattel is hard to beat. Because it belongs to the 6-inch scale line, it’s significantly larger than your average dinosaur toy, allowing for a level of detail that is truly screen-accurate.
Movie Magic and Customization
The most impressive feature of this figure is its versatility. You can actually pop the head off to remove the frills, allowing you to display the Dilophosaurus in its “pre-attack” look before it corners Dennis Nedry. Speaking of Nedry, if you can track down his matching Amber Collection figure, they could look incredible posed side-by-side.
Accessories and Articulation
Mattel didn’t skip on the extras. This set includes:
- The East Dock Sign: A perfect nod to the famous scene where Nedry loses his way.
- Display Stands: It comes with both a base and a kickstand for stable posing.
- Realistic Texture: The figure uses rubber components that provide a tactile, high-quality feel reminiscent of the classic Kenner models from the 90s.
High-End Detail
From the scaling on the hands and feet to the articulated jaw, the craftsmanship is top-tier. The paint application is precise, following the natural outlines of the sculpt to bring the creature to life.
These were released in limited numbers, so if you spot one for a decent price, don’t hesitate to add it to your shelf. It’s a nostalgic, highly detailed piece that captures the mystery and terror of the original 1993 film perfectly!
