We wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who watched Beyond The Gates and supported the show over these last three years. It has been such an honour to work on this program, and to work so closely with the talented people at Universal Pictures and Mattel.

We always intended the episodes to feature as much new behind the scenes material as we could, and getting to speak with the incredible talent who made our favourite movies has been nothing short of a dream. Learning the processes behind designing Mattel’s collectibles with the very designers themselves has been so exciting, and we hope we’ve managed to entertain along the way.

Beyond The Gates spanned three seasons, and spawned the spinoff show Jurassic World Revealed which we also produced and localized for 7 countries.

We also want to take a moment to thank the incredibly talented composer Caleb Burnett who has been with us from the very beginning. He composed our wonderful theme music and episodic music throughout and also worked with us on Revealed. Beyond The Gates wouldn’t be what it is without you!

While our work with the show is coming to an end, you can expect more great things in the near future! Thank you again to our wonderful partners and to all of you for watching along!

– Jack and Chris

Jurassic Park Gates, ‘Buck’ T. rex and MORE Available as Mattel Creations Crowdfund Set!

Hold on to your butts – the first ever Mattel Jurassic World Crowd Fund is here, and it’s a showstopper. Continuing the Jurassic Park 30th Celebrations, Mattel Creations have unveiled brand new and exclusive items from Jurassic Park… and a long-awaited item from The Lost World, incredible items that debut their first Jurassic crowdfund.

There is a lot to look at with this announcement, so let’s jump in!

Right out the gate (no pun intended) we’re gonna say we want the stretch goals to be hit, because they all deliver something special – so if you want this set to be made, and you want all the goals to be hit, help spread the word! 

So what is the core set? It’s a Hammond Collection version of the Jurassic Park gates that also comes with a premium Ford Explorer Vehicle – there’s a lot to dive in to with those, but before we get into the details we wanted to give a quick explanation on what a crowd fund is, and why they’re done:

Essentially, in this capacity, crowd funds exist to develop and sell items and sets that would be more difficult, if not impossible to have major retailers carry, usually due to their price, size, and maybe their demand. Items best suited to this crowdfund platform are items geared even more towards the fans and collectors than regular items that has to focus on the whole audience.

The crowdfund ensures a certain number of items are guaranteed – in this case at least 5000 – which covers the development costs. Ultimately, it means the designers at Mattel get to cater even closer to what the fans want to see in the Jurassic toy lines, and that fans more of a say 

As more people commit to the sets, as in, the more backers this gets, Mattel earn more wiggle room in costs and can add more value to the orders via stretch goals… and believe us these stretch goals are GREAT!

Let’s take a look at the set, and how this crowdfund works:

The centerpiece of the campaign is a fan-demanded motorized entry gate, accompanied by a first-ever replica of the Ford Explorer #5. Attention to detail has been a priority, ensuring an authentic recreation of the iconic movie scenes. The crowdfund also offers additional unlockable extra stretch goals at different tiers.

The Jurassic World Hammond Collection Gates measure 20.7 inches in height, 22.8 inches in width, and 12.1 inches in depth. They require four AA batteries (not included) to operate. These structures are accurately scaled to fit with the Hammond Collection figures, faithfully capturing every crack and crevice. 

The motorized door gates can be manually adjusted to any desired position, and flickering torch lights illuminate the entrance, providing a truly immersive experience. The gates also play the original movie theme music and ambient jungle sounds, adding to the atmosphere. The set includes the Ford Explorer #5, complete with rubber tires and enhanced design details, such as film-accurate hang tags, navigation screen, and antennas. This exclusive crowdfund offering is only available through the campaign.

To bring this extraordinary set to life, a minimum of 5,000 backers based in the United States is required. Once this threshold is reached, international backers will also be able to join the campaign. (As of Friday June 30th, the set is available to be ordered internationally!) As the number of backers increases, additional figures and accessories will be unlocked, enabling fans to recreate more thrilling Jurassic Park moments.

When the campaign reaches 6,000 backers, a post-electrocution Tim figure and enclosure fences will be added to everyone’s collection. Accompanying Tim are enclosure fences measuring 9.0 inches in height and 14.8 inches in width.  

At the 8,000 backer milestone, the Hammond Collection male “Buck” T. rex from The Lost World: Jurassic Park will be included bringing to life that T rex variant for the first time in collector level toy form from Mattel. This Rex is a MUST HAVE. 

Finally, with 10,000 backers, the set will be complete with the addition of a Lex Murphy figure, this time with some mud decals and her hat, plus a goat with a removable hind leg.

There’s an additional incentive for early backers. If the campaign achieves 5,000 U.S.-based backers within the first two weeks (by July 11), a set of six Jurassic Park Paddock Signs will be given to ALL participants, including international fans.

Interested supporters are encouraged to join the campaign promptly as it concludes on July 26, 2023, at 11:59 PM PT. Fans are urged to spread the word and invite other Jurassic Park enthusiasts to contribute, as their collective support will enable the creation of the ultimate Jurassic Park collection.

The cost to support and pre-order this set is $250, and that cost will include every stretch goal met! So what are you waiting for, help spread the word to ensure the entirety of the set can be created, and support this project now directly at Mattel Creations!

UPDATE: Mattel hosted a livestream to further unveil the set and featured special guests, and a much closer look at the items!

COMMON QUESTIONS

Does backing the set count as purchasing it?

Yes! Your backing of the set counts as a purchase if the set is funded; if it is not funded you will be refunded.

Will Mattel let fans outside of the US back the crowdfund?

Yes – as of Friday June 30th the set is available to be ordered internationally!

If funded, will the set be available at retailers or online?

No – the only way to purchase this set is via Mattel Creations through July 26th. It will not be available afterwards in any capacity.

If the stretch goals are met, does it cost extra?

No! The cost of the set does not change, so the more people that back the crowdfund the better value the set receives via more collector items.

Why is this set a crowdfund – shouldn’t they just release it in stores?

Were it so easy. While we would love for retailers to carry items and sets like these, they simply do not have any desire to carry them due to high prices and large box sizes cutting down on shelf space profitability.

Isn’t it unfair that they’re limiting the run of such desired items?

There is no limitation on this set besides time – if you want to join the crowdfund, you can (international backers just need to wait a bit longer). Every item even at mass retail has limited production numbers and limited time for distribution, this just cuts out the middleman of items trickling out of warehouses to store shelves. 

Why is the male “Buck” T. rex from The Lost World in a Jurassic Park set?

Fair question – it simply comes down to the fact that they already have the Hammond Collection Jurassic Park T. rex on store shelves now, and had offered an alternate exclusive version last year, so they wanted to add something to this set that hasn’t been done before.

Q: Does “Buck” have his facial scars?

Yes! Toy designer Greg Murphy made sure to highlight them on the live stream.

Is there anything else unique about the T. rex – and might it ever hit store shelves separately?

Yes, it has new sculpting for the head and neck, sharper teeth, plus all-new film accurate smaller feet. As for the store shelves question, it’s hard to say, but we would wager there is a chance over some years – however its painting would likely not be as detailed & premium.

Does this set count as ‘Hammond Collection’?

Yes, this set has been designed as a Hammond Collection collector level set making full use of premium stylings.
