🌟 Our Top Picks at a Glance
Short on time? These four are the ones we would buy first.
🎅 Big Gifts for Under the Tree
The showstoppers. These are large figures with action features that make a real impression when the wrapping paper comes off. Pick one of these as the main present.
✨ Lights and Roars
Mid-size figures with electronic features. They glow, they roar, and they look brilliant next to the fairy lights. Check the box for the battery type before the big day.
🧦 Stocking Fillers
Small figures at friendlier prices. Perfect for stockings, Advent surprises or a little extra next to the main gift. Several of these are dinosaurs Mattel has never made before.
🧔 Gifts for Grown-ups
Jurassic fans do not stop at action figures. These gifts are for the adults on your list, from tree ornaments and mugs to display pieces for the shelf. The first eight are official Jurassic Park and Jurassic World products, and the last two are general dinosaur decor.

🎄 Christmas Morning Checklist
Figures with lights and sounds usually need batteries. Check the box and buy them now, not on Christmas Eve.
Every figure has a DNA scan code for the Jurassic World Play app. Update the app the night before so scanning works first time.
Boxes and tags get thrown away in the excitement. If a code goes missing, you will find it on our site, including codes for figures no longer in shops.
Popular figures can sell out in December. If one is on the wish list, it pays to order well before the holidays.
❓ Christmas Gift FAQ
What is the best Jurassic World toy for Christmas 2026?
Our top pick is the Sinraptor Wild Roar from Primal Ambush, which scored a perfect 5 out of 5 in our review. For a bigger main present, the Tylosaurus Ultimate Damage (4.6) is the standout.
Which Jurassic World figure is good for a younger child?
The Purussaurus Gigantic Thrashers is a great choice. Its attacks are driven by the tail, so it needs no batteries, and it is simple to play with. Always check the age rating on the box.
Do Jurassic World toys come with DNA scan codes?
Yes. Mattel Jurassic World figures include a DNA scan code that unlocks the dinosaur in the Jurassic World Play app. If the code is lost, you can find it on JurassicDNA.com.
Do Wild Roar figures need batteries?
Figures with lights and sounds usually do. Check the box for the battery type and whether batteries are included, and keep a spare set ready for Christmas morning.
What are good Jurassic World stocking fillers?
Frenzy Packs and Strike Attack figures are small and affordable. The Bagaceratops Frenzy Pack (4.0) is our favourite, and the Magnosaurus and Thescelosaurus are both first time releases from Mattel.
