Article Summary
- Mattel debuts a Jurassic World Hammond Collection Ornitholestes dinosaur figure for collectors and fans.
- This agile Late Jurassic predator features 18 points of articulation and swappable hunting claws for display.

The Ornitholestes is a lesser-known but intriguing dinosaur that was featured in the extended universe of Jurassic World. This dino was particularly seen in merchandise, reference materials, and the mobile game Jurassic World Alive. Though it has yet to make a major appearance in the films, this small theropod has easily captured fan interest due to its raptor-like qualities, agile build, and predatory nature. Ornitholestes lived during the Late Jurassic period and was a lightweight carnivore, roughly 6–7 feet long, likely preying on small reptiles and early mammals. Its hunt now continues as Mattel is adding the Ornitholestes to their Jurassic World Hammond Collection.
In the Jurassic World franchise, this dinosaur is often depicted with a sleek body, sharp claws, and a narrow snout. While not as famous as Velociraptor or T. rex, Ornitholestes adds more teeth to the Jurassic World Hammond Collection lineup with 18 points of articulation. Measuring 9.2" long, this meat-eater will also feature, for the first time ever, swappable claws for hunting. The Hammon Collection hits Target Stores first, followed by a later online retailer release, and this dinosaur is priced at $14.99 with a December 2025 release date.
