Thanks, man. I got one printed in gray now that is just waiting for me to figure out some decals for it. I might see if Bad Mother is still taking custom decal requests just to make life easier.

Wow, that's kinda neat.
Don't think I've ever actually succeeded in getting one of these SDCC exclusives though.

Might try since it's Spielberg.

I ordered two of these Spielberg sets. The fake animatronic platform is a nice touch. Too bad the ladder and other movie set background pieces aren't included, but it's still a pretty fun set from the look of it.

I found the Mattel raptor crate set in the wild last week so if anyone is looking for just the crate, raptor, and Muldoon let me know. $20 plus actual postage and you get everything in the set except for the hardhat guys and their accessories.

It's a hella fun set.

The Box display is pretty nice as a
display too.

I have one too and the left arm of one of the hard hat guys comes off and I cannot tell if it's defective or an intentional design. Does one of the hard hat guys in your set have a removable arm?

To the interested party who messaged me through eBay: I can't respond there for an outside sale without risking consequences from eBay. Find my contact info on zapstoys.com and get in touch that way if you like. You would get Muldoon, his shotgun, the raptor, and the raptor crate. I am keeping the rest (the two workers and their associated gear).

I haven't opened the set yet but I will look into it when I do.

Ok, I have opened the set now and none of the arms on the workers appear to be intended for removal. I didn't go to town on them but a firm tug had no effect at the shoulders or the elbows on either figure. There are some potential steps you could take to firm yours up, depending on the root cause. Post a photo of the arm peg that is coming out if you want any advice on possible solutions.


On another note, the product images show two sets of knee pads in the set, but only one set actually comes in the box. If you pay attention to the back of the box it only ever shows one set in use so the packaging itself never lies. It's just an inaccurate product photo gallery.

There is no way to fix it. It has a ring that goes into the bottom part of the arm that is not closed all the way and the area where it goes is filled in to where it cannot swivel all the way. It stays on positioned along the body though. If this was any other line of figures I would not have ever considered that it may have been intentional but then I remembered the figure for the 6" Samuel L. Jackson character has a severed arm accessory. Something like that would definitely make sense with this set although nobody specifically loses an arm in the scene it comes from.

Ok, gotcha. I thought the elbow peg was coming out of the bicep but it sounds like it's the lower arm falling off of the elbow peg instead. If that's the case, then you're right that there is no good fix for that.
