Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While this specific variant is less common than the original 2015 Owen Grady, it appeared in three different sets, making it widely accessible to collectors during its production run.
Head
Missing in image. The official figure features a dual-sided Light Nougat head with a smirk on one side and an angry/shouting expression on the other, featuring a medium-length brown beard and hairpiece.
Torso
Dark Blueish Gray with brown leather vest printing. Features utility pockets, a silver zipper, and back printing showing the vest straps and seams. Dark Blueish Gray arms with Light Nougat hands.
Legs
Dark Blueish Gray, unprinted. The hip piece color matches the legs.
Accessories
Missing in image. Usually paired with a tranquilizer gun, a dark gray motorcycle, or a baby raptor component in various sets.
Color Scheme
Muted earth tones: Dark Blueish Gray base with Brown accents. Designed to reflect the rugged, survivalist nature of the character in the second film.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back. The detail on the vest pockets includes shading to simulate depth. No leg or arm printing is present on this specific version.
Variants
Several variants exist: jw001 (Bright Blue vest, 2015), jw024 (olive green shirt), and jw050 (yellowish-brown jacket). This variant (jw011) is distinguished by the Dark Blueish Gray torso base.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include torso cracks under the arms and neck-wear. The Light Nougat hands are susceptible to bite marks or loose grip. The gray plastic is generally resistant to yellowing.

Character Background
Owen Grady, portrayed by Chris Pratt, is a Navy veteran and ethologist responsible for training Velociraptors at Jurassic World. He is the primary protagonist of the Jurassic World trilogy.
Design Notes
The 2018 redesign moved away from the more vibrant blue of the first film's sets to a grittier, darker palette to match the tone of 'Fallen Kingdom'. The vest print is highly accurate to his screen costume.
Similar Minifigures
jw001 Owen Grady, jw036 Owen Grady (Dino Trackers), and generic Jurassic World ACU troopers which share the same color palette.
Collectibility
Moderate. Owen is the central character of the theme, making him essential for Jurassic World fans, but his high frequency in sets limits his long-term investment appreciation.
History
First introduced in 2015 with the launch of the Jurassic World theme. This 2018 version marked the first significant costume update for the character in LEGO form.
Interesting Facts
The torso mold for this figure has been frequently used by 'purist' MOC builders to create custom Star Wars Rebels characters or generic post-apocalyptic survivors.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside 'Blue' the Velociraptor. Neutral lighting is best to highlight the subtle gray and brown printing without washing out the details.
Modification Potential
High. The neutral gray legs and detailed vest make this torso excellent for custom Star Wars Rebels, Indiana Jones, or City-themed survivalist figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate representation of a major franchise character. While common, its high-quality torso printing makes it a staple for any modern LEGO film character collection.
