If you’re a fan of Jurassic Park, you know that no dinosaur collection is complete without Dr. Alan Grant. Today, we’re looking at the Hammond Collection Dr. Alan Grant by Mattel. This 3.75 inch figure is a must-have for collectors who want high detail and movie-accurate poses without taking up an entire bookshelf.
Small Scale, Big Detail
The first thing you’ll notice about this figure is the incredible articulation. For a figure of this size, Mattel didn’t skip a beat. With points of movement at the wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, knees, and even the feet, you can recreate almost any iconic pose from the film. Whether he’s running for his life or standing in awe of a Brachiosaurus, he looks natural and dynamic.
Iconic Accessories
What really sets this version of Dr. Grant apart is the accessory pack. It comes loaded with nods to the 1993 classic, including:
- The Flare: Perfect for recreating the heart-pounding scene where he distracts the T-Rex.
- Swapable Hands: Including a gloved hand and a hand holding the famous Velociraptor claw.
- The Baby Raptor: A cool addition to the set.
- Removable Gear: The figure comes with his signature sunglasses (which actually plug into tiny holes on his head) and an alternate head without his iconic hat (though, let’s be honest, Dr. Grant just isn’t the same without the fedora!).
The Verdict
The Hammond Collection is designed to look great next to Mattel’s line of dinosaurs. When you place Dr. Grant next to a Hammond Collection Velociraptor, the scale is spot on.
Whether you need someone for your T-Rex to “munch on” or a hero to lead your display, this Dr. Alan Grant figure is a fantastic addition. It captures the spirit of the character perfectly in a small, hyper-detailed package.
