If you think that Jamie Oliver makes the kitchen exciting, you’ve never seen Velociraptors at work! When that pair of hunters decided they’d quite like John Hammond’s grandkids for dinner, they gave us one of the most nail-biting scenes in cinema history. That makes them well-deserving of their place in Funko’s line of Jurassic Park Pop! Vinyl figures.
This Velociraptor Pop! Vinyl gives us more meticulous detail than a well-researched Michael Crichton novel. Like a vintage lounge-suite, its skin explores the entire spectrum of browns, and is full of all manner of lumps and bumps. In this case, those bumps range from knobbly scales to softly-creased skin. Its signature yellow eyes burn with menace and are about as piercing is its prominent claws.
This raptor figure stands about 9.5 cm tall. But, as we know about velociraptors, size doesn’t matter. Though smaller than a lot of other dinosaurs, Velociraptors are still scarier than a strange-smelling lamb sandwich bought from a street vendor with a rattly cough. So, expect this figure to impress, wherever you display it.
Jurassic Park’s velociraptors made us all avoid the kitchen harder than a 1950s dad. So, to properly honour the baddies responsible for this level of terror, add this Velociraptor Pop! to your collection before it goes extinct again!
