DIMOO Jurassic World: A Collector's Deep Dive (And Honest Opinion)

*

I remember exactly where I was when the first images of the DIMOO Jurassic World** series leaked. I was scrolling through a collector forum, and someone posted a blurry photo. My first thought? "No way."

DIMOO, for me, has always been about Ayan's dreamy, ethereal world. He's a cloud boy, lost in his own imagination. So the idea of pairing him with the raw, visceral world of Jurassic Park, or, more accurately, Jurassic World (a distinction many people miss), felt like a weird fit. Like putting marshmallows on a T-Rex steak.

But then the official Jurassic World Pop Mart promo shots dropped, and I had to eat my words. They didn't just stick a DIMOO head on a dinosaur body. They integrated him into the very concept of the park. He's a park ranger, a geneticist, a tourist running for his life. It was clever. And as a seller, I knew instantly: this was going to be huge.

We ordered cases for PopNya, and they were gone before I could even finish cataloging them on the website. The hype was real. But after opening dozens of these boxes, both for myself and for customers, I've got a much clearer picture of this series, beyond the initial hype.

The Unboxing: More Than Just a Box of Dinos

Pop Mart has gotten really good at their packaging game, and this series is a prime example. The box art is fantastic, with a big, bold Jurassic World logo and DIMOO peeking out. But let's be real, you're here for what's inside.

One of the first questions I always get is about the "box weight trick." Can you weigh the boxes to find a specific figure? For the DIMOO Jurassic World series, the answer is a hard no. Pop Mart standardized their internal packaging years ago to prevent this. The weight differences are so minimal that you're more likely to be measuring humidity fluctuations than finding a T-Rex. Don't waste your time or look weird at the store with a pocket scale. The only way is the blind box thrill.

Opening a full case of 12 gives you a shot at the full set of regular figures. Each one comes with a collector card that's almost as cool as the figure itself, featuring a little bio and stats. It's a small touch, but it adds to the world-building.

A Walk Through the Park: The Regulars That Steal the Show

There are 12 regular figures, and honestly, the quality across the board is fantastic. But a few of them are true standouts that deserve a special mention.

The T-Rex is obviously the headliner. It's a chunky, satisfying figure. DIMOO is riding on its back, looking a little terrified, which is a perfect mood. The texturing on the T-Rex's skin is surprisingly detailed for a figure this size. It doesn't feel like a cheap piece of plastic; it has heft.

But my personal favorite of the regulars? It's a tie between the Mosasaurus and the Velociraptor Trainer.

The Mosasaurus is just a brilliant piece of design. It captures the iconic scene from the movie, with the massive sea reptile leaping out of the water. They used a translucent blue resin for the "water" part, and DIMOO is inside a tiny gyrosphere, looking up in awe. When the light hits it just right, it's gorgeous. This is the kind of artistry that separates a good series from a great one.

Then you have the Velociraptor Trainer, which is a clear nod to Chris Pratt's character, Owen Grady. DIMOO is there with three tiny baby raptors, each with a distinct pose. It tells a story. It's not just a DIMOO dinosaur figure; it's a whole scene in a 3-inch package.

The other figures are great too, the Triceratops is adorable, the Pteranodon has a great sense of motion, and the Ankylosaurus (the one with the club tail) has this grumpy little expression that I love. But if you only get a few, the Mosasaurus and the Trainer are the ones that, in my opinion, truly capture the magic of this crossover.

Okay, let's talk about the chase figures. Every blind box series has them, and they are the source of so much joy and pain for collectors. For a lot of people just getting into the hobby, understanding how secrets work can be a little confusing. If you're new to this world, our guide on how to start collecting DIMOO is a great place to start.

The official DIMOO Jurassic World secret** figure is named "Ow Ow!". It's an adorable sculpt of DIMOO wearing a cracked eggshell, with a newly hatched baby raptor peeking out. It's a 1/144 chance, meaning on average, you'll find one in every 12 cases. It's cute, it's rare, and it commands a decent price on the secondary market, I've seen it sell for anywhere between $80 and $150, depending on the day.

But "Ow Ow!" is not the real prize of this series.

The real prize, the one that makes hardcore collectors lose their minds, is the 150% T-Rex. This isn't listed on the box. It's not advertised in the main promotional materials. It's a "super secret" that's inserted into cases at an even rarer ratio. It's essentially a scaled-up version of the regular T-Rex figure, standing about 50% taller.

I've handled thousands of Pop Mart figures in my store. I've seen a lot of rare pieces. But I've only ever seen one of these 150% T-Rex figures in person. The sheer rarity and the "wow" factor of its size have driven its aftermarket price into the stratosphere. At its peak, I saw this single figure selling for over $500. That's more than the cost of four full cases of the regular figures. It's a perfect example of how the aftermarket for a specific figure can skyrocket, similar to what we've seen with some figures in the DIMOO Story in a Cup series.

So if you ever pull a T-Rex that seems... Unusually large... Congratulations. You've just hit the Popmart dinosaur lottery.

Vinyl vs. Velvet: The DIMOO Jurassic World Plush

Just to make things more complicated (and more fun for us collectors), Pop Mart also released a DIMOO Jurassic World plush blind box series. These are smaller, keychain-sized plushies that mirror the designs of the vinyl figures.

I was curious to see how they'd translate, so I got a set to compare. And honestly? They're a mixed bag.

The quality is decent. The fabrics are soft, and the embroidery is clean. The T-Rex and Triceratops plushies are particularly cute and work well in the soft format. They make great bag charms or desk buddies.

But some of the more complex designs, like the Mosasaurus, lose their magic in the translation to plush. You just can't capture the beauty of that translucent resin and the tiny gyrosphere in fabric. It ends up looking a bit... Blobby. This is a common challenge I talked about in my breakdown of the DIMOO Disney vinyls vs. Plushies; some designs are just meant for vinyl.

My verdict? If you're a die-hard Dimoo Jurassic fan, the plushies are a fun, cute addition. But if you have to choose one, the vinyl figures are, without a doubt, the superior collectibles. They have more detail, better display presence, and hold their value much better.

Real Talk: My Honest Verdict

So, after all is said and done, is the DIMOO Jurassic World series worth the hype?

Yes. Absolutely.

As a seller, it was a home run. It brought in a ton of new customers who were fans of Jurassic World but had never heard of Pop Mart or DIMOO. It was a gateway drug, and a powerful one at that. As a collector, it's one of the strongest collaboration series Pop Mart has ever produced. The quality is consistent, the designs are inspired, and the chase figures are genuinely exciting to hunt for.

It's not perfect. I do think the Indominus Rex figure is a little plain compared to the others. And the constant confusion with people calling it the "DIMOO Jurassic Park" series is a minor pet peeve of mine (it's a different movie trilogy, people!).

But the highs are so high. The Mosasaurus, the Raptor Trainer, and the sheer thrill of the T-Rex hunt make this a top-tier series. It proved that DIMOO is more versatile than I ever gave him credit for. He can be a dreamy cloud boy one day and a terrified dinosaur researcher the next, and it all somehow works.

This series remains one of the most requested sets in our shop, even long after its initial release. If you've been on the fence, I can't recommend it enough. It's a perfect blend of cute and cool, and a must-have for any serious fan. Just dive in and see what you get, you might just find something amazing. And if you're looking to start or expand your collection, you can always browse our current DIMOO figures to see what adventures he's on now.
