Theme
Jurassic World
Year Released
2019. This figure debuted during a peak era for LEGO dinosaur molds, coinciding with the animated 'Legend of Isla Nublar' LEGO series.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not polybag-exclusive, it was only included in a few specific sets toward the middle of the Jurassic World theme's initial run.
Head
Articulated jaw with white teeth printing; yellow eyes with black pupils; sand green base with dark green 'tiger' stripes across the snout and brow.
Torso
The main body is a specialized dinosaur mold (not a standard minifigure torso) featuring a single stud on the back for mounting a rider or gear; arms are articulated ball-joints with fixed claws.
Legs
Single-mold leg design with articulated hip joints; sand green color with dark green striped patterns on the haunches and upper thighs; no foot printing.
Accessories
None included by default, though it features a 1x1 stud landing on the back compatible with standard LEGO plates and clips.
Color Scheme
Sand Green primary body with Dark Green tiger-style camouflage stripes and yellow eye accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the back, tail, and head; alignment of stripes from back to tail is generally precise; dual-tone eye printing for detail.
Variants
Standard Velociraptor mold varies primarily by color; this specific variant is identified by the high density of dark green stripes on a sand green base.
Condition Notes
Watch for loose jaw tension; common wear includes scuffing on the tail tip and 'bite' marks on the soft plastic head; ball joints in arms may loosen over time.
Estimated Value
Used: $7.00 - $12.00 USD; New: $15.00+ USD. Value depends heavily on the tightness of the limb joints and absence of paint scuffs on the stripes.
Price (New)
Retail sets ranged from $30.00 to $60.00; as a specialized mold, it accounts for a significant portion of a set's 'price-per-piece' value.
Compatible Sets
75938 T. rex vs Dino-Mech Battle; 75935 Baryonyx Face-Off: The Treasure Hunt (variation included).
Character Background
Represents the generic Velociraptors seen in 'Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar,' known for their pack-hunting intelligence and distinct camouflage.
Design Notes
Uses the 2012-revised Velociraptor mold which improved the 'clutch' of the feet and introduced more organic curves in the tail and neck compared to the 2000-era Studios line.
Similar Minifigures
Blue (the raptor), Delta, Echo, and Charlie from the Jurassic World 'Squad' sets; earlier 2012 Dino theme raptors.
Collectibility
High. Dinosaur collectors often aim to build 'packs,' maintaining steady demand for diverse raptor color variants.
History
Follows the evolution of LEGO dinosaur figures from the brick-built beasts of the 90s to the highly detailed, articulated molded figures of the 2010s.
Interesting Facts
The 'Sand Green' color used here is a favorite among LEGO fan builders (MOCers) for foliage, making the parts of this figure aesthetically pleasing for landscape integration.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a jungle or laboratory vignette; use a transparent bar to pose it in a 'pouncing' position to showcase the articulation.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' dinosaur customs; the body part is frequently swapped with other raptor heads to create unique mutations.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 for any Jurassic Park/World fan. It features iconic printing and a mold that is both play-functional and display-worthy.
