Jurassic World Jurassic Park Hammond Collection Dinosaur Figure Metriacanthosaurus, Medium Size Dino Detailed Design 17 Articulations, HLT26

Great for stop motion apparently. Son happy with it. Another one for the collection.

This is an affordable theropod dinosaur figure from Mattel’s Jurassic World Hammond Collection. Metriacanthosaurus appeared only as an embryo that Dennis Nedry steals in Jurassic Park. So she is both canon and optional for collectors. In my opinion, this figure is suitable for collectors and play because it’s joints are suitably stiff and there’s the right number of articulation points - jaws, neck, shoulders, elbows, hip-leg joint, knees, ankles, tail. Tail can be bend. I find that figures with more articulation don’t stand well.The coloration is shades of brown, which sounds boring but looks great. Think chocolate ice cream atop hazelnut ice cream. My only complaint is the shade of brown on the snout - Metriacanthosaurus look like it brown-nosed somebody in order to get made into a figure.Speaking of the snout, the head sculpt helps this dinosaur to stand apart from other theropods. She looks stout and sturdy, not particularly skin-wrapped. When playing or making diorama, this Metriacanthosaurus could be a mini boss who menaces our heroes only to be swatted by the T. rex.

The Hammond collection are the most detailed and articulated dinosaur figures that the Jurassic park/world franchise has released.

It is a Christmas gift for my grandson for his collection.

Really nice dino, as expected

Had to send back this item twice! First time the box was torn, second the jaw of the dinosaur wasn’t attached properlyVery disappointed with the quality of this dinosaur!
