That damn red rex's box was too small. No matter what I did, i could never get its tail to straighten out

Such great memories, loved the video!

I wanted those battle damaged dino with its ribcage exposed so bad.

Back when toys were toys

look at the Alan grant series 1 card, it's concept art from the studio with Harrison Ford as Grant (he turned it down)

I recall my grandfather boiling the Red Rex’s tail to soften the material and he successfully removed the kink. My father got model paint and painted the “rims” of the Explorer to better match the film. This was a great video. Thank you for putting it together.

I god I had every single one of that series. Probably the most amazing toys ever made.

I’m remember the commercials for these with the tagline at the end if they don’t have the JP there extincti

nice vid

Well put together video, very informative and professional. Keep up the good work!

That talking computer never shut up.

The dino skin is what made the figures what they are today. It's so annoying to see the new ones filled with screw holes and three piece bodies.

Amazing video. Would love to see another video covering the other Jurassic park lines

Great video! I grew up with the Lost World and Chaos Effect toys, I really hope you plan to cover those as well just to see what ones I missed out on, I always wanted the "High Hide" but it never seemed to be in stores lol

I was 11 when the movie came out. It really was a fun time to be a kid.

Amazing work!! What spray brush do you use?

I remember the stan winston T-Rex at the back of the box, I was thinking OMG that is photo realistic, I really wish I get this toy. But when I finally saw the red Rex in toy shop, it wasn't the same. I was very disappointed and it was very expensive so I gave it up and never had it. But, almost 30 years later, I saw the Hammond Collection T-Rex, and that is so good looking, very comparable to the original stan winston Rex and highly articulated too. The HC Rex is now on my shelf and I'm so happy to look at it every day.

The OG cap from 1993 would be cool to own

One of my all time favorite toy lines. I never realized I owned almost all of it as a kid; besides the helicopter, the red jeep, the red raptor, and the Malcolm figure. The junior T-Rex remains one of my favorite toys I ever had and the best T-Rex toy ever made in my opinion. The bigger red rex was cool, I had both, but not nearly as cool to me. Also, the command center computer voice lines are burnt into my brain 😂

I remember having the velociraptor, electronic dilophosaurus, electronic t rex, grant with the net, ellie and the command center playset

The movie logo was made by concept artist Sandy Collora. Does that mean he worked for Kenner?

I had both those screamers loved them had a buddy with the big trex i was so jealous haha

The warm colors of the JP artwork will always be part of my core memories. They had a sense of mystery that really struck me.

Great video! First time hearing about the movie logo. Wow! If you are interested in the rare Japanese variants and special released that came out for Jurassic Park, I've collected many of them and made this video to showcase the differences: czcams.com/video/FNAdnNMx9xg/video.html Cheers!!

The JP toy packaging must have inspired the Genesis video games, because that "palm tree sunset" look is my ultimate, core memory from Jurassic Park. If they ever make a Jurassic movie with that fiery, ominous (yet beautiful) style, I will be a very happy camper.

I feel very lucky to have the large base and a bunch of the dinosaurs still with me and working from my childhood. My big red rex has the bend in the tail.

I still have the red Rex and it still stomps and makes noises when yelling. I also replaced the battery. It sits on top of my fridge with a sombrero these days and I wipe him down every time I clean the kitchen. He is in great shape and people love him.

One thing that absolutely caught me off guard was how much of these original Kenner designs were carried over into future iterations of the franchise, such as the Bush Devil Jeep's configuration with the extendable seat like one of the ones from The Lost World, or my favorite coloration of a Ceratosaurus in an ostensibly throw away die cast design. You can really tell the respect future artists and designers had for these original works. Would really love a follow up video about The Lost World line, those absolutely blew my mind and still hold up to this day. My mom just moved and I had to go through the slightly saddening moment of deciding which toys to hold onto from my past and which ones to donate, suffice it to say, many of them that I kept were those Kenner Jurassic Park and The Lost World figures.

When I was a kid, my grandma got me this small hand held jurassic park video game shaped like a t Rex head. The screen was in its open mouth.

Thank you for sharing this. Great and informative video! It certainly was a great time to be alive as a kid.

I had all of these including the park play set. Sadly I sold them all to a poor kid at my moms garage sale for $10. He’s probably grown now and they are in the landfill somewhere.

These toys were incredibly important to me. Almost every one of mine ended up with bits missing, or just becoming worn out, but I wouldn't change those hours playing with the plants of the garden acting as jungle for the world.

Blood sample missile will never not sound hilariously over the top.

Very fun watch, thx.

As you say it in the video: what an incredible time to be alive. I’ll never forget these toys, they were my favourite, so much so that i still dream with them sometimes. It makes me feel sad that kids today really don’t have a toy line (or a film for that matter) to be this passionate about. Thanks for the awesome video!

Nice video. We had the entire set of the original toys. Hunted them down in blockbuster stores of all places

I miss the 90s I had the gray jeep

I got the electronic red rex for Christmas one year it still stands out as one of my all time favorite gifts.

You made me remember Ii got a ton of these in the 90s growing up. Still got a Big deluxe Electronic raptor.

I need a retrospective of everything after this up until Jurassic World

the style of the figures were more inspired by the book then the movie... in development they had more book infos then few pictures of the movies.... thats why theere is also the young T Rex and celophysis like in the book (they were not sure if it appaers) or dennis Nedry. also the whole style was a mix of book and movie ... they corrected the likeness in Serie 2 like u mensioned

6:40 Ah! I remember that toy. It brings back memory.

Excellent vudeo

Christmas ‘93 always has a special place in my heart. My dad was in the Air Force and at the time we lived in Germany. He got orders to Luke in Arizona and so we had to move during the holidays. We didn’t have a place yet so we spent Christmas at Luke AFB in biliting, kind of like a suite hotel. All our stuff plus the Christmas tree decorations etc were being shipped. My parents managed to make it work with a tree from wal mart and some decorations that we put up, including a big red ribbon on the door. That Christmas season was also the first time I actually went up to see Santa at the Metro Center mall (where they filmed Bill&Ted) I asked him for Jurassic Park toys especially the compound. My mom was kind of against it due to the PG-13 rating and me only being 6 (she didn’t like the Dino damage gore). Unbeknownst to me my Sister and Dad had convinced my mom Jurassic Park was a ok and that I’d seen worse in the Indiana Jones movies (Kali Ma!). On Christmas Eve I went to sleep with my stuffed Montgomery Ward Rudolph. Morning came and I was uncertain anything Jurassic Park would be there. As I opened the presents the first one was Alan Grant then Tim then the electronic Dilophosaurus. Then a big box was there. I opened it and there he was (or she) the Electronic T-Rex (red Rex). I also got other Dinosaur merch as Dinosaurs were in. I looked around and realized that was it, unfortunately there was no compound. I said “I guess that’s it” even without the compound it was a great impressive haul. My dad who later told me he couldn’t wait any more as he saw a hint of disappointment on my face jumped up and said “wait a minute what’s this back here?” Then he pulled out a big box that was hidden behind the end table. I knew instantly what it was, I don’t think I’ve ripped wrapping paper off something faster than in that moment. In almost disbelief I starred at it for a minute looking at the Jurassic Park compound. All day I was making the T. rex tear down fences, flip the jeep and of course eating figures. Thanks to my parents Christmas’93 even though we had to move, change schools and didn’t have our usual Christmas they still managed to not only make it work but I think of it as one of the best.Even today I still have all of them compound and all. As I write this I’m looking at them on the shelves plus a ton of other Jurassic Park/World toys I’ve collected over the years. Thank you for the great video highlighting these awesome toys.

Nothing says '90s toys branding more than using the word "Deluxe". Haha. Only JP merch I ever had was a watch from MacDonalds during Lost World's debut. Good times. Also what's with Dennis losing 200 pounds in the figures? Haha.

I loved this retrospective, but in regard to the Jurassic Park logo, I feel like I've got to mention, graphic designer Chip Kidd, who's work on the novel's original jacket cover, was the inspiration for Tim Effler's iconic logo. He performed one of my favorite Ted Talks, where he went into great detail, on how he came up with that jacket and how that design still continues to be used and recognized. Thank you, Trevor, and especially thank you Mr. Effler. Your contributions to pop culture, will continue to burn a hole in my pocket, till the day I die!

The coelophysis 2 pack was my first JP toy. Picked it up at Kmart before I had seen the film. I was so impressed with the realistic skin, my imagination ran wild as to what dinos we'd see in the movie. The toys really added to the hype. The dino card that had the biggest impression on me was the one with the Stegosaurus being wrangled in the field. There was just such a realism about it. It's really cool how the toy department came up with the official logo. Most iconic film logo in history next to Batman.

I had a bunch of JP toys as a kid. I even had some of the other JP merchandise like a few of those books with the dinosaurs on the front. I had a whole binder full of JP cards which I now wish I had kept. I had the compound, and the box was full of JP toys. The big red Rex the juvenile tan Rex. The tour vehicle. All the human figures. I was 8 years old when I saw JP in June 1993. I even read the novel shortly after seeing the movie. The JP toys were great. I even bought a few of the JPTLW toys though I mostly just collected them. I think all the toys released for the later movies just weren't as great. I remember seeing the JP3 toys in stores and thinking they were kind of lame.

I absolutely Loveeee the JP Legacy Ford Explorer! I bought a few just out of pure movie nostalgia!
