There are moments in cinematic history that will live on as long as movies are watched, enjoyed and debated. The masterpiece that is the first Jurassic Park film
will be popular for generations to come, such was its quality and the impact that it had on modern film culture. Sideshow Collectibles have taken it upon themselves to create something that does that seminal moment in film justice, and here it is- the Jurassic Park T-Rex Vs Velociraptors diorama.
This monstrous piece of licensed memorabilia is due to arrive in the 3rd quarter of 2008, and is to be limited to just 750 pieces, so make sure you get yours! Entitled the ‘When Dinosaurs Ruled The earth’ diorama, it captures the magnificent T-rex in the midst of battling off the Velociraptors, from the thrilling final moments of the movie. Due to stand approximately 12 inches in height, and clocking in at 4 kilos, the diorama is cast in high quality polystone and hand painted. The level of detail in both the sculpt and the paint-job is wonderful, and I hope that each piece is as good as the one in the promo pictures. The only thing I’m not too sure of here is the base- the Jurassic Park movie logo seems like a bit of an afterthought. Other than that the piece looks simply amazing. Each has been numbered by hand, and finishes off Sideshow Collectibles’ flagship piece of Jurassic Park merchandise
perfectly.
This is one of those pieces that really does justify the phrase ‘Collector’s item’, and aside from the base, is one of the finest large scale pieces I’ve seen Sideshow Collectibles offer in a while.
