We have a special place in our heart for design here at Collect Jurassic, so Jurassic_Julian’s custom Legacy Alan Grant cardback was love at first sight. Channeling the classic Jurassic Park artwork by Kenner (Series 2, in particular), he painstakingly recreated every tiny detail for this vintage reimagining of a modern release. The back of the card even showcases the rest of Mattel’s Legacy toyline, just like the good old days.
If you’re thinking this is an excellent idea that should be applied to more modern figures—Jurassic_Julian is way ahead of you. More Mattel Legacy toys will be getting this treatment soon enough, and we can’t wait to see more.

I’ve been saying this since the beginning – the Legacy figures need their own look. The packaging should be retro, just like what Hasbro does for the The Vintage Collection in Star Wars. This looks SO much better, the normal is so bleh an offers nothing whatsoever. The cardback itself is amazing too, love that you can actually see the other figures you can get. This INCREASES the sales of your other figure, Mattel! Free advertising, it’s insane that they don’t do this really.
So simple and great!!! Loved it, congrats to Jurassic Julian!!!
