Sixty-five million years in the making. And they still couldn't keep them in the enclosures.
Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park arrived as a novel in 1990 and as a Spielberg film in 1993, and both did the same thing: made dinosaurs feel real in a way that nothing had managed before. Not as fossils, not as illustrations in a children's encyclopaedia, but as living, breathing, terrifyingly intelligent animals — and then asked what would happen if someone was arrogant enough to bring them back. The answer, it turned out, was exactly what Dr Malcolm predicted. Life found a way. It usually does. And the T-Rex roar that shook cinema audiences in 1993 has never entirely stopped echoing.
Decades on, the franchise has expanded into Jurassic World and beyond, but the original remains untouchable: the amber, the DNA, the glass of water with the ripple, the moment the long neck emerges above the trees and the John Williams score swells and everyone in the cinema quietly forgets to breathe.
Our Jurassic Park collection brings together officially licensed figures, apparel, accessories and gifts for fans of the park, the science, and the spectacularly bad idea that started it all.
