Description

I've been getting back into Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, and an offhand comment on a YouTube video about a toy of the Gallimimus has led to a momentary interest in Jurassic Park toys.

A toyline of note is Chaos Effect ([link]). The premise of it was that InGen scientists decided, for no adequate reason, to mix the DNA of various dinosaurs and other animals together and see what freaks of nature resulted. Judging by what came out, I think someone at Hasbro was smoking weed while watching a montage of raptor clips from the films, since everything is freaking weird, and half of the creatures are raptors crossed with something else.

Of special notice is the absurdly bright colours that were used. Since everything here was fictional and the result of a bunch of scientists idly wondering what a cross between a Pteranodon and an Ankylosaurus would look like, they went overboard with giving everything strange, psychedelic colours and skin patterns . The strange thing is, I kind of like them. This mini-series is, therefore, my tribute to this bizarre toyline.

Since Tapejara is such a weird pterosaur (and was done once in the Jurassic Park III toyline), it deserved a place here. I used the JPIII toy ([link]) for the design here, which makes it Tapejara wellnoferi, even though the toy itself was simply the Pteranodon from the same line with a remolded crest.

Also, I totally want the Tapejara toy. Now I know what one of the first things I'll do with a credit card of my own is: off to eBay!
