“They remember.”
Robert Muldoon, as portrayed by Bob Peck in 1993’s Jurassic Park, is one of my favorite characters from both the films and the books. If you read the book, you know that Muldoon survived the events of Jurassic Park. Sadly, he was chosen to die in place of John Hammond in the film, as Hammond became a sympathetic character during the film’s production. While I hated to see him perish, I was happy to see him on the big screen.
Muldoon joined Mattel’s since-discontinued Amber Collection in 2021. I only recently picked up a figure for myself and I’m very glad that I did. Muldoon comes with an additional head and an additional pair of hands. He also comes with his token hat and a dino-prod. Sadly, the figure doesn’t come with Muldoon’s signature Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun, which he totes around throughout most of the film.
The figure features an excellent resemblance to Bob Peck. One of the heads has sweat droplets on it that adds to its realism. His clothing and accessories are also highly detailed. Most notably, his employee badge looks great! I also love the added details of his watch and bracelets. His vest can be removed by popping off his arms, but I don’t recommend it.
The figure features at least twenty-three points of articulation. That’s what I counted. None of his POA are hindered by his clothes, hair, etc. He’s also slightly taller than Dr. Sattler in this collection. If my memory serves me correctly, he was taller than her in the film as well.
If you’re a fan of Muldoon like I am, I highly recommend getting your hands on this figure before the ebay vultures realize what a gem this figure is in the Amber Collection. It’s available from a number of online retailers and as of this writing, it was selling for between fifteen and twenty bucks.
Thanks for checking out my post. See you again soon!
