Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Owen & Blue 1/4 Scale Statue
Owen & Blue

• Throughout the Jurassic World series, Owen and Blue's relationship plays a crucial role. As the human protagonist in Jurassic World, Owen's role needs little to be said. Blue is Owen's female velociraptor pal who he trained since she was young. She is the leader of the raptor pack, as well as a smart and loyal companion to Owen.
• This is Infinity Studio's first hyper-realistic 1/4 scale statue under the Jurassic World IP and it is also the first statue to feature both Owen and baby Blue. Now, we can feel their fascinating companionship in real life! 

Owen's head sculpture

• The product took shape after repeated supervision and the heavy involvement of the actor himself  Chris Pratt. 
• A Chinese modeler who worked at Naughty Dog was invited to model the head sculpture. The high quality of his work comes from his experience and involvement in many AAA games. 
• To achieve the highest level of realism and accuracy, the sample painting of the head sculpture is done by the master painter from South Korea, Yelim Choi (at @shumi arts).
• The completed sculpture won the high praise of actor ????? ????? himself. "Wow, this is the most realistic sculpture I've ever seen!" 

Outfit design

• Many of you may be aware that the implementation of real fabric will make it difficult to control the posture and movement of a static design. After 17 different samples, we achieved a result that we are satisfied with. This is so that the finish of the jeans, the texture of the vest, and the style can be fully expressed in 1/4 scale. 

Baby Blue

• Blue's body is painted with attention to detail and delicacy. The Velociraptor has distinctive wrinkles and rough skin lines. There are especially vivid folds on the neck and two claws hanging from the wall. 
• Blue's blue stripes and the large yellow eyes are also her highlights, which make her stand out from other Velociraptors. 
• Gloss and transparency effects are applied to the teeth, which give them a more realistic appearance.
• Iron buckets and footballs are all props that Owen used to train his young raptors. This base recreates the earthy texture of the training grounds in the film. 
• This officially licensed piece also features the iconic logo from Jurassic World. 
• In general, the 1/4 scale statue takes up relatively little space so collectors can easily make room for it!
