The Mutadon was a controversial addition to Jurassic World Rebirth, but its recent appearance in Jurassic World Evolution 3 has helped many appreciate the mutant more. The Hammond Collection version is a fun figure with a solid sculpt, featuring excellent scale detail, and leathery textures, though some unfortunate inaccuracies do hold it back. The paint is a mixed bag, with some great striping and countershading, but missing details on the wings, legs, and tail are disappointing. Thankfully, the articulation is fantastic, and the extra wings are the best use of the new swappable part system so far! While it has notable flaws, this is still a figure I really enjoy, though the “True FX” branding continues to set expectations higher than the figure can deliver.

The Jurassic World Survival Scelidosaurus is an excellent new release! I’m always happy to see Mattel tackle a more obscure herbivore. The figure leans into an older, and more stylized interpretation of the creature, but the sculpted detail is excellent throughout. The armor, spikes, and varied scalation are all crisp. Articulation is very limited, which is disappointing given how easily it could have been improved. The color scheme is eye-catching, with strong contrast and a nice mottled pattern. However, Mattel’s familiar shortcuts still hold it back. Overall, it’s a fun but flawed release with great detail and style.
