Mine was double boxed as well, which really surprised me from all the horror stories I heard about Target's packaging. I was expecting the worst...

Just got mine in today! Came bubble wrapped but the box is in decent shape.

Got mine Tuesday. Nicely bubble wrapped and double boxed. It was in great shape. For sure my favorite pop of the year so far.

mine came double boxed as well. extremely happy by it.

My box was a little squished but not crushed so I am overall happy with it. I am not a box crazy person.

I'm glad Target's doing better with their shipping by bubble wrapping and placing them in bags but they do it ohh so tightly Dr. Ian Malcolm almost suffocated.

Postby **Mystlurker** » Thu Mar 22, 2018 3:56 pm

Can anyone explain the obsession with this pop everyone seems to have? I just don't get it.

Also: the target double boxing sucks compared to hot topic. They put far to much bubble wrap inside the inner box which squishes the box

Better protection than most private sellers LOL...

Sometimes them packaging it this way damages the box. This is why the box looks caved in occasionally.

Postby **Kiners_funatic** » Thu Mar 22, 2018 11:20 pm

Got 2 in case either one comes in damage, but I didn't have to do that!!!!! because they improved the packaging!xD Thank you target!

Postby **nerdy_jesus13** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 12:00 am

Got both of mine today. One was pretty much perfect but the other pop was a little squished. Overall I’m happy with them and hope target continues to improve on their shipping.

Yeah, sometimes it can happen but luckily nothing happened

The same can be said about using packing peanuts. If the box gets pressed in, the peanuts will push in the box. That's why i choose to use stuffing paper, giving the pop ample room even if that box gets squeezed

Postby **emcee** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 3:01 am

Mine was bubble wrapped the same, but the back of the box is still caved in but not creased. It's like perfectly round indented to eat a bowl of cereal out of.

So sad the packaging jobs on these were bad.... Target def needs to stick to double boxing!

Postby **Ap4ulcalypse** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 4:17 am

mine came in wrapped tight and with the back of the box all caved in

I think everyone loves it because of the "sexy" pose and amusing bare chest. It's a fun rendition of a classic scene from the original movie. Personally I love JP and have to have every single JP Pop they make now or in the future, so it was a no-brainer purchase.

What I really want to do is make a diorama with Ian in the back of the Jeep and the T-Rex chasing, unfortunately Funko hosed that idea by making the T-Rex WAY too small for the scene. And technically Muldoon should be driving the Jeep instead of Ellie, but she was in it so that part isn't too much of a stretch. I still plan on doing it, I'm hoping I can figure out how to kitbash a T-Rex for it.

It's not all bad, it's hit or miss. I ordered two and they arrived individually wrapped in bubble wrap and bagged in plastic bags. Both are mint condition.

I contacted Target and they said that the delivery guy couldn't find my address, even though it was the right one, and my package was returned to Target. Because the delivery guy said he couldn't find it, Target is refusing to send the order back out, and says placing a new order is my only option. I tried explaining that it's sold out and won't be back for months, but they didn't seem to understand that. I'm beyond bummed; this was a Pop I'd been looking forward to for ages, and I'd lucked out and managed to grab one, only to have it sent back and cancelled because of a lazy delivery guy.

Against all odds, I came home today to a package from Target sitting on my doorstep, with none other than the sweaty pinup model himself. Not sure what ended up happening on Target or FedEx's part, but I'm just glad to have gotten my order. It was nicely wrapped in double bubble wrap, no dents on the box. Just goes to prove his theory that "Life, uh.....finds a way....."

What are the odds this will be show up back online for order? Or just bite the bullet and head over to fleabay...

Funko already replied on Twitter that this Pop will be available again sometime before the movie comes out. So there will definitely be a restock.

Funko Retweeted Kevin Brackett
The @target exclusive Dr Ian Malcolm WILL be re-stocked. Target will have more available closer to the release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. More are on the way!
Here is a link to the tweet as proof.

Just a heads up if you're waiting to buy this Pop! at a convention: it was no where to be found at WonderCon. I searched high and low and couldn't find it anywhere. Also, the T-Rex sold out at every booth I saw it at.

I would definitely wait to get one of these. It seems like they will be released again. I wouldn't get one from the secondary market just yet.

Don't give up on your scene yet. I heard there may be a 10in T-Rex coming.

My Malcolm also came very nicely packaged.

Glad some people got theirs well packaged. Guess I was unlucky

Sometimes they wrap it too tight. Most of my target orders have come crushed in because of they way they bubble wrap it

Sad that my order came in crushed! Why Target shipping department cannot be consistent in packing Pop!!!!

I saw the rumor of a 10" JP Pop although it did not specify which Pop it might be. Here's hoping it's a T-Rex, although if it is then that might actually be too big. 6" would be just the right size and scale.

Postby **treswright** » Wed Mar 28, 2018 8:53 am

Finally got my last JP preorder in yesterday, so here's a family portrait of the entire set with chase and exclusives! These things look really, really great in person. Excellent detail. I love all of them. My one complaint is that itty bitty T-Rex, why u so small bro? Can't wait for Ellie and her Jeep to add to the set.

Postby **Lonikins** » Wed Mar 28, 2018 8:55 am

I've been playing the Lego Jurassic Park video game and all I could think of with the scene of injured Ian was this Pop. I should have grabbed a photo of the Pop and the Lego version posing together, oops!

On another note, debating if this is one I want to take to work and display lol

They threw scale out the window with the 10" porg.
