Kenner Jurrasic Park 1 1993

The first series of action figures was launched at the same time as the movie and , like the movie , also became an instant hit .
The human figures in the first series bore little resemblance to their movie counterparts as the sculpts were based on artists renditions , each also came with an elaborate snare weapons designed to trap the dinosaurs and a movie trading card .
There are also two different backing cards for theses figures . The first card featured a black background behind the bubble , but later the more popular and recognizable sunset /
jungle background was used . However it seems that no one of these is rarer than the other .
The first series feature five human figures and eight dinosaurs , some of which weren ' t even featured in the movie . There were also three playsets , including the famous Command Compound .
Jurassic Park was released in the summer of 1993 and was an instant hit . At about this time Kenner were at their peak and they were awarded the lisence to produce Jurassic Park action figures by Amblin Entertainment .
