Jurassic Park The Lost World Dino Damage Medical Center

The Medical Center itself is basically a rather oddly shaped white platform, with a large white bench or table on it sporting some grey covering and silver highlights. On the front it’s marked with a small TLW movie logo sticker. On the right side of the middle of the bench there’s a white plate sticking out, which is a resting support for any dinosaurs lying on it (it was designed with the Allosaurus in mind, which of course is most compatible with the Medical Center, but most smaller and medium sized dinosaurs fit on this table). There are four small protrusions sticking out of either side of the table: the set comes with a white strip with rows of holes in it so it can be clamped around the table, restraining any dinosaur lying on it. In front of the bench there’s more silver details, technical equipment of sorts with yellow cables sticking out. It’s there for show only and doesn’t do anything but give the set a more complicated and detailed appearance. In the right corner of t he platform next to the table, there’s a grey device with a white arm ending in a large round hole so it can hold the rejuvenation lab. This is basically a vat holding a red liquid: my guess would be it’s supposed to be blood. It can be placed above the right end of the table, so it can administer a blood transfusion or perform some similar procedure on the poor prehistoric beastie lying on the operating bench. The vat itself is cylindrical and transparent for the most part, save the underside which consists of silver detailing. On the left side of the platform, there’s a white table adorned with computer instruments (unfortunately not painted in a different colour, so they’re not very noticeable). This table has three holes in it, to store the medical instruments (a syringe, a scalpel and a pair of scissors, all painted grey). On top of this table there’s a grey computer console adorned with four stickers showing the skeleton of the Allosaurus and a DNA string among things, to give the table some more de tail. Lastly, in front of the table, on the left front corner of the platform, there’s a small white column, designed to restrain the tail of the Allosaurus when it’s lying on the table. It can be removed easily when it’s not needed, like when there’s a different dinosaur placed on the operating bench.

The Allosaurus stands in a completely neutral position and has both poseable arms and legs, as well as a lower jaw which is moveable to a small degree. It sports a predominantly light brown paint job: its back, flanks, neck, upper part of the tail, arms, most of the head and legs (including most of the dino damage pieces) are painted in this colour. Its underside (belly, lower part of the tail, throat, most of the lower jaw, and inner parts of its limbs are coloured white. It has about 25 dark brown stripes running from its snout to the end of the tail, as well as spots of the same colour on its flanks and upper legs. On its left upper leg there’s a black JP: Site B logo, along with the number .47. Unfortunately, none of the animal’s claws are painted. It has green eyes, located in the middle of a dark brown spot. Noteworthy: as was the case with real Allosaurs, this creature has two bony ridges on either side of the upper part of the skull, including “horns” above the eyes. This dinosaur comes with no less than five points of dino damage:

-left upper tail section: on the left side of the upper tail, a large portion of skin can be removed, revealing vertebrae and red muscle tissue. This particular piece is somewhat harder to remove.

-upper left leg: the part of the leg sporting the JP: Site B logo can be removed, showing leg bones and muscle tissue.

-entire left leg: this leg sure has a hard time, since it can be torn off entirely. It looks a bit fake when this leg is removed, but at least the designers adorned the part under the leg with a small imprint of intestines (not painted sadly).

-left flank: a large portion of the left flank is capable of being pulled off, revealing a white ribcage.

-ribcage: removing this ribcage reveals even more fascinating inner anatomy, mostly muscle tissue, but also several internal organs coloured red, pink and purple.

Note that all dino damage is located on the left side of the sculpt, while there’s none on the right side.
