LEGO Officially Teases 77985 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops For June 2026

Another day and another piece of LEGO Jurassic World news, as the LEGO Group has once again officially teased/unofficially revealed another model for the licensed LEGO theme. In particular, this is 77985 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops, which, after being teased in a teaser of 77984 Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler, has been further revealed along with the first images of the 18+ models' box art.

The tease itself has appeared on LEGO's official Instagram page and is somewhat more of an actual reveal, even though we're still awaiting official images of the 2026 model. The video recreates some archaeologists carefully brushing 1x1 LEGO studs representing dirt off of some brick-built bone structure. As more brown dirt is removed, we start to see a structure form, which becomes instantly reminiscent of the legendary Triceratops dinosaur.

Releasing on the 1st of June 2026, 77985 is a follow-up to last year's extremely popular 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex, but obviously focusing on the literal, anatomical representation of a Triceratops skeleton seen in the cleverly designed social media clip.

2025's T. rex was constructed in an impressive 1:12 scale, and 77985 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops continues that scale, but is naturally smaller as a brick-built LEGO set, just like the real prehistoric creature was. This is reflected in a much smaller piece count and a lower price of 1,154 pieces retailing for $99.99 / €99.99 / £89.99 but with still just as much accuracy and detail.

The adult-focused museum-style display piece is built primarily from tan elements to represent aged bone. The structure is anchored by a sturdy, internal spine connected to a ribcage utilising multiple curved slopes. The sturdy internal frame, similar in complexity to that of the T. rex, also includes the dinosaur's ribcage and vertebrae. The four legs of the creature are slightly thicker than those of 2025's Tyrannosaurus rex, while the tail tapers off with smaller, articulated segments.

But the most prominent and detailed part of the build is the massive skull of the Triceratops, which features a large, fan-like bony frill. This is somewhat similar to the currently available 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull, but with more of a heavy focus on the dinosaur's three distinct horns: two long ones above the eye sockets and a shorter one on the snout. Additionally, there is plenty of movement and posability here as builders can adjust the position of the head and open and close the mouth.

The $100 model is then complete with an 18+ museum-like black display stand and a printed information plaque. The display stand is more unique than the classic black ones we see in the LEGO Icons theme, for example, as it includes a small environment section similar to what the actual Triceratops used to live in many, many years ago. A single LEGO Minifigure can also be found displayed here of the Chief Veterinarian of Jurassic Park, Gerry Harding, with exclusive face printing and a printed Jurassic Park cap.
