Pre-order now: Official limited Jurassic Park Tyrannosaurus Breakout statue!

Posted on by Chris Pugh

Brand new from Chronicle Collectables, the Tyrannosaurus Breakout statue is now available for pre-order! This high-end officially licensed Jurassic Park statue will have a very limited run, so make sure you secure your purchase before it goes extinct! Based upon the iconic scene and measuring 24″ long, 16″ tall and 12″ wide this diorama statue is a must have for any Jurassic fan. This is a hand-numbered, limited edition piece. (The edition size will be set in 30 days). Priced at $499.99 for the first 30 days, before raising to the normal price of $549.99. There is a 10 month payment play available, so you can pre-order with as little as  $49.90 down!

Chronicle truly spared no expense to get this statue right. Working from an ILM model, Chronicle refined the digital sculpt to be as accurate as possible to the scene. From there they posed the Rex in her well known pose, and crafted the destroyed electrical fence around it. The Tyrannosaurus herself is painted with incredibly accuracy, and Chronicle went to extreme painstaking lengths to match the original. The base is inspired by the shape of the T-Rex Paddock on the Jurassic Park Map, and is engraved with a bronze Jurassic Park logo.

So what are you waiting for? Pre-order now! And while you’re at it, be sure to listen to our interview with Paul Francis of Chronicle Collectibles where he details some of their other planned upcoming Jurassic products – including 12″ articulated Alan Grant and Owen Grady, a Mosasaurus diorama, and a few products involving Velociraptors!

Escape from Jurassic Park – 1993 animated series detailed

Posted on by Chris Pugh

It’s no secret that Jurassic Park nearly had a cartoon –  over the summer William Stout revealed many pieces of concept art, which unsurprisingly went viral. Despite the great artwork, and the franchise lending itself to the concept perfectly, the cartoon was sadly canceled in the early stages of production. Other than these glimpses of concept art, little was known about the mysterious series. Until now.

1993: Hot off the heels of Jurassic Parks success, the now defunct Universal Cartoon Studios began to explore a continuation of the story via an animated series. The series was meant to be tonally similiar to the film, utilizing an art style that appropriately matched. The story revolved around the essential characters and dinosaurs of Jurassic Park, alongside many fun new additions – drawing further story inspiration not only from the film, but from the book.
