Jurassic Park star Sam Neill has shared his take on the new Alan Grant figure from Mattel. Writing on Twitter, he said the figure looks “alarming” due to its removable head and hands. He also asked Mattel if they can send him some of them.
“Is this for would-be young murderers to play with?” he said (via The Hollywood Reporter). “Regardless, could the manufacturer send some, my kids want them?! Only slightly worried.”
Jurassic Park’s production company, Amblin Entertainment, responded to Neill’s tweet. “Mattel, could you possibly send Sam some Alan Grant figures with removable noggin and hands for his kids to enjoy? ;)” it said. We’ll report back when Neill has another update on this situation.
The figure is part of a new Jurassic Park collection that debuted in 2019; the Grant figure is slated to launch in October.
Neill is coming back to play Grant again in Jurassic World: Dominion. Other stars of the original movies like Laura Dern (Dr. Ellie Sattler) and Jeff Goldblum (Dr. Ian Malcom) are returning as well.
