[REVIEW] 5005255 - Jurassic World Minifigures (Bricktober 2018)

Third one, folks. This set is quite easy to get as the hype is not as much as the last 2018 bricktober. However, the minifigures are quite lovely.

Pieces: 18 pcs

Introduction

The minifigures here are considered exclusive as Dr. Ian Malcolm did not appear in any other sets. Claire and Owen did come out in other sets but the designs of their outfit here is totally new prints and check out the whistling expression for Owen! Let's go into them.

Box

The mould of the plastic that hold them in place is quite different at the raptor compartment. They even put a round indentation there to make them easy to retrieve. The orange coloured box makes it feels like lava is flowing around them like in the movie. 

Standard back of the box with words..

I love this grey stoney part of the box here. It resembles the metal cage they used in the movie to keep those dinosaurs captive. 

Come out, stretch a bit!

Minifigures

Dr. Ian Malcolm is a mathematician who is one of the main characters of the Jurassic Park franchise since the beginning of the movie long ago. He is portrayed by Jeff Goldblum in the movie and appeared in the movie as a commentator only. Here we see he is wearing a black outfit showing some of his chest hair. Unlike other bricktober minifigures, he lacks leg prints and side arm prints. He is holding a torch and the hair is the same as Bruce Banner.

Jeff Goldblum.

Claire Dearing was the park operations manager of Jurassic World, prior to the abandonment of the park in 2015 upon the escape of the Indominus rex. She looks pretty here with a great smile and eyelashes. The light grey outfit is also very nice on her where the printings are extended to the legs. She came with a sad facial expression maybe after looking at the beloved dinosaurs died at the volcano site. Overall this is a nice minifigure with a smartphone.

Phewwwiiittt...

 Owen Grady was a dinosaur researcher employed by Jurassic World, who conducted a behavioral research on Velociraptors. Here he looks messy in his brown vest and a weird smile. The special thing about this minifigure is the whistling facial expression he used on Gamora/dinosaurs. LOL. The expression is quite cool and brings life to this minifigure. He comes with a back pack and a belt printing along with arm detailing at his left arm. 

Will you marry me?

Baby raptor. This is not exclusive to this set as it appeared in 3 other sets. It is a one studed baby dinosaur which is smaller than a minifigure. The blue stripe prints are very nice and the mould is amazing for such a small creature! It looks very much alive instead of a dead piece of plastic. 

Blue: Can I eat that?

Trust me, not as a human, but as your father.

Conclusion

Despite the lack of hype, I feel that this set is quite adorable after I had my hands on them. Claire is lovely and Owen is cute with his whistling face. It will be worth to have as the price won't be as high in the secondary market. A very good collection of minifigure set!

Review summary

Playability: N/A - I've decided to skip this part. 
Design: 8/10 - Not bad as the torso and face prints are not ordinary prints.
Minifigures:  8/10 - Not sure about the selection but having the main characters in this set is quite subtle as others are not as popular. 
Price / Value for money: 8/10 - You can get it at lower price than other bricktobers I think.
Overall: 8/10 - Overall I would say I'm not disappointed. What say you?

I hope you enjoy reading my simple review and do express your comments below.
