If the live-action He-Man looks familiar...

... It's because He-Man/Adam Glenn is played by Nicholas Galitzine, who played Johnnie Blackwell aka Sacrilegious Boy in High Strung 10 years ago! So he's gone from duelling with violin bows to wielding the Sword of Power.

(I wrote the film review shown in the TwoSet video about the film)

Spinosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus Air Mission (87384)

Short review:

I was curious about this set because I hadn't seen any reviews. I got this from Taobao for about the equivalent of USD31.

The main things that make the price of the original so high are the moulded Spinosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus, and I think those look good here. The sail of the Spinosaurus came as a separate piece. Colours and other details look close.

As with other knockoff Jurassic sets, the stickers are different: the numbers on the helicopter and truck are different and it says "isr" instead of "inGen". The logo on printed piece on the hood of the truck is different from the official Jurassic Park logo too.

Build went quite well, some pieces are loose but there are no missing pieces. The biggest problem was one of the two rusted orange chain pieces broke. I was able to glue it back, but it means I can't activate the mechanism by pulling on the chain.

Minifigures are about standard for a knockoff set: some clothing details are different and the face prints are slightly off in positioning and size. Dr Henry Loomis has a much fuller beard and a different shirt pattern, for example. Martin Krebs' flesh tone on his chest doesn't match his head/hands. The hat for Duncan Kincaid is also a different piece (flat cap instead of a beret). The hair piece on Zora Bennett was loose.

Overall a solid set that I had fun building. The differences with the original set are about what I expected based on the other knockoff Jurassic sets that I have (based on the 2023 anniversary wave), that are presumably from the same manufacturer.
