Title: Does anybody collect Jurassic Park toys??
Post by: Wind_Whistler on December 03, 2014, 02:20:21 AM
Sold mine years ago and deeply regret it :( Building up a new collection now.  Just wondered if anybody else was into dinosaurs as well as ponies ;p

I was super into them growing up.  Thankfully there all set aside in the basment.

When I was a kid I had quite a few as well as Godzilla toys!! I wish I still had them, especially my Spinosaurus toy from JP3 as spinosaurids are my favorite!! I really reallywish i still had them. I miss my baby Gozillas that came out of those eggs too! xD

I had a few dinosaurs but unfortunately not any more  :(
If I were to come across any JP figures I would snap them up as I absolutely love the film's and franchise.

I used to have a few JP toys when I was younger. Most of them are in storage now though.

I do still pick them up at car boots/thrift stores, but most of the time I collect Raptors/anything from the Dromaeosauridae family (from any toy line).

I do! Still have all my teenage JP toys and merchandise, and I would love to buy some more in the future. I especially adore the velociraptors.

I might have a JP dinosaur or two. I loved dinosaurs when I was a kid and still have mine. Mostly generic ones though.

I had a few when the movie came out.  I was in high school at the time, so most of what I got was opened but not damaged.  I still have all the toys in my parent's basement. 

I had:

The big t-rex that roared when you squeezed his sides.
An electronic raptor that would make a noise and move its head to strike when you did something with its legs
A regular raptor that did the same thing, just without the noise
The baby t-rex with the broken leg from the second movie

I also had a lot of little bits 'n pieces of little figurines and whatnot.  They sold these eggs that came with some candy and a little plastic dinosaur, and I had A LOT of those.  I still have one of each dinosaur figure, and an egg.  No candy:p

I still love dinosaurs!  I just collect other dinosaur stuff like glass miniatures and other little figures.  I also started to branch out into real fossils, and have a pretty nice collection of stuff.  It's mostly trilobites right now, but just this summer I got a real megalodon tooth at a fossil show!  It's a pretty nice one too.

I was SUPER into dinosaurs as a kid. I wish I had all my dinosaur stuff still. I had a huge collection as a kid. I had lots of Land Before Time stuff too.

I used to collect them, I still have mine all tucked away in storage somewhere. I know I have two of the Stegosaurs with the removable flesh chunk, the striking raptor, a Parasaurolophus that also moves/makes noise, and a Pteranodon. Then I had a handful of the budget line guys too. Aww, now I want to go and dig them out of my attic.

Currently I'm collecting Schleich dinos in place of the JP ones.

I had nearly the entire set (the compound, Explorer, Jeep, and pretty much every single dinosaur)... unfortunately they were stored in my basement which flooded a few years back.  I'm not sure how much has survived, though I still have some Definitely Dinosaurs hiding down there.

Tyrannosaurus attacking Explorer.  Send help.  Whoop!  Whoop!  Whoop!

I have the "roaring" T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, a Velociraptor that "strikes" when you squeeze its legs together, a Dilophosaur that made sounds..I have two of those really small dinosaurs with sharp teeth that I forget the name of.

I also have those dinosaurs that were repackaged and sold in the Dino Riders line? I think they were marked for the Smithsonian. I have Kentrosaurus, Deinonychus, Dimetrodon, Monoclonius, Protoceratops, Pteronodon, Gallimimus, and I might be forgetting a few.

I collect Papo's line now, the molds are excellent.

I was slightly too old (Jurassic park was my first date lol) but I saw the t-shirts in Primark yesterday and was mighty tempted

I had all the toys when I was growing up but have since condensed into just the Rex's.  I'll have my bf take pics when he gets home (they're at his house five states over>_<)

Also, Dino Damage was the best. My batman toys used to eat the "steaks" for dinner when I played cavemen.

Aw, no pics yet?  Ok, I'll 'bite'...

Here's Dilly... my childhood Dilophosaurus (sp?). I lost his frill some time ago though. My brother had the Velociraptor (again, spelling? lol!). I think he still has him, too.

Always loved dinosaurs as a kid, though I don't collect them. My girls love dinosaurs, too :)
