Dilophosaurus on the Loose

"A recommended small-scale set that earns its 74.6 BrickScore through the most film-accurate Dilophosaurus mold LEGO had produced, a great three-minifigure lineup headlined by Hudson Harper, and a charming gift shop kiosk, all at a very fair price. The loss of Dilo articulation is a genuine criticism, but 4.70 out of 5 across nearly 2,400 owner ratings confirms the set delivers well beyond that single drawback."

Reviewers across three sources found the Dilophosaurus on the Loose a solid, well-priced small set whose star is an updated Dilophosaurus mold that finally nails movie-accurate scale alongside minifigures, paired with a charming gift shop kiosk built as dinosaur jaws. Owner ratings reflect strong satisfaction at 4.70 out of 5 across 2,386 ratings (dominated by Amazon), with 89% recommending on LEGO.com. The set's principal limitation is that the new smaller Dilo sacrifices nearly all articulation in favor of scale fidelity, a trade-off that divided some buyers.

Where they split: Most reviewers and owners were enthusiastic, but the Dilophosaurus articulation regression generated a clear split: several buyers felt the loss of poseable limbs and head rotation was an unacceptable trade-off for scale accuracy, with one LEGO.com reviewer saying the figure 'felt like a Duplo figure' and another stating they wished 'this dilophosaur figure didn't even exist.' Expert reviewers, by contrast, largely framed the scale improvement as the right engineering decision.
