Jurassic Park: the roar that changed cinema… and our toy shelves

In 1993, Steven Spielberg adapted Michael Crichton’s novel into a groundbreaking spectacle: Jurassic Park — a perfect blend of adventure, sci-fi, and prehistoric thrills. Using a revolutionary mix of CGI and life-size animatronics, the dinosaurs looked breathtakingly real.

The story is iconic: eccentric billionaire John Hammond clones dinosaurs from fossilized DNA to populate his theme park. But when the security systems fail, T-Rex and raptors turn the tour into a deadly game of hide-and-seek.

The movie smashed box office records, revolutionized special effects, and gifted us John Williams’ unforgettable score. And of course… it unleashed a tidal wave of merchandise.

Kenner’s Jurassic Park toyline became legendary:

• Articulated dinosaurs with “Dino Damage” skin pieces.

• Action figures of key characters (Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm…).

• Iconic vehicles (Jeep, Ford Explorer, helicopter).

• Deluxe sets with traps, cages, and gear.

The toys perfectly balanced realism and playability, and certain pieces — like the electronic T-Rex or giant Triceratops — are now collector treasures.

More than just a movie, Jurassic Park launched a saga and gave 90s kids that magical moment when dinosaurs really did walk the Earth.
