Mattel Reveals Jurassic Park John Hammond Toy Exclusive to San Diego Comic Con 2019!

Posted on by Chris Pugh

At long last, John Hammond can welcome you to Jurassic Park in toy form. Just announced, Mattel has revealed their Jurassic World Legacy Collection John Hammond pack. Sporting incredible Jurassic Park art in the form of the iconic gates as a sleeve, the packaging then opens up to reveal Hammond sealed inside a Legacy Collection box, packed alongside an egg incubator with the hatching baby Velociraptor.

Check it out below, and read on for how to pre-order yours!

Relive nostalgic, iconic film moments from Jurassic Park with the Jurassic World Legacy Collection John Hammond action figure! This exclusive character captures the franchise legacy with movie-authentic decoration and deluxe detail. The John Hammond action figure is inspired by the original Jurassic Park film and captures his innovative spirit, his caring role as a grandfather and his high expectations for his theme park on Isla Nublar. Action figure is approximately 3.190 inches tall and includes a cane and a stand with dinosaur eggs. Take home the excitement of Jurassic Park with this exciting John Hammond action figure!

This is the first time ever John Hammond has been given a toy, as not even the classic Jurassic Park Kenner line released the iconic founder of the park which started it all. Now, 26 years later, life has found a way! However, this toy will not be easy to come by – while you can pre-order it now, you must attend San Diego Comic Con 2019 to verify your purchase. There is a limit of 5 per attendee, and the attendee must show their 2019 San Diego Comic-Con badge, their ID, and order confirmation at Mattel booth #2945 on July 17th-21st. The name on the SDCC attendee badge and ID must match the name on the order. Order will be shipped after the event ends.

I know the limited availability is a bittersweet happenstance, as this toy has been long anticipated and requested, and will surely be incredibly difficult to track-down at affordable prices for non-attendees. However, I’m absolutely thrilled that this item exists – the classic Jurassic Park packaging is gorgeous, and the best I’ve ever seen for Jurassic, and the John Hammond figures likeness to the late Richard Attenborough is incredible. It’s worth noting that what stops this set from being perfect is the baby Velociraptor – for some reason Mattel thinks the classic Jurassic Park raptors were green — they were not. But even with that coloring snafu, this set is incredibly exciting, and sure to be an iconic centerpiece to many collections.

Are you attending SDCC 2019, and if so, will you be pre-ordering the exclusive John Hammond toy? Further, with this toy now a reality, what other exclusive and longtime requested characters would you like to see brought back to life?

Official Images of the Mattel Jurassic World Legacy Collection Brachiosaurus Have Stomped Online!

Posted on by Chris Pugh

This has been an exciting week to be a Jurassic Park fan, with news roaring online in abundance, Camp Cretaceous (an upcoming Jurassic World animated series) as the star attraction. While the week is coming to an end, that doesn’t mean the fun is quite over – at least not for fans of the Mattel toy line!

Straight from the official Mattel website, we have our first real look at the Legacy Collection Brachiosaurus!

Measuring upwards of 36 inches tall, and roughly 28 – 42+ inches long, this toy is a behemoth! With articulation on each leg, tail, and neck, it has a wide range of motion allowing for lots of fun play opportunities. In the US it is releasing under the Jurassic World Legacy Collection label later this Fall for $49.99, exclusively at Target. International market availability will vary, but mainline releases in some markets will exist to help get this item to as many fans as possible!

At this time, its exact release date is unknown, as is its release pattern. With any luck, it will not follow the lead of Targets bizarre strategy for the Legacy Collection Spinosaurus (releasing the bulk at around 3am EST without warning, and selling out by morning). While the Spinosaurus was an online exclusive in the US, we’re hoping the Legacy Collection Brachiosaurus will be carried in stores for better availability options.

For those who want all the information possible, the Mattel item number for the Brachiosaurus is GFH12.

Will you be picking up the Legacy Collection Brachiosaurus, and do you think Target will do a better job with distribution this time around? Sound off in the comments below, and as always, stay tuned to Jurassic Outpost!

Chronicle Collectibles Unveil Limited Run Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus 1/4th Scale Statue

Posted on by Chris Pugh

Freshly hatched out of the labs of Chronicle Collectibles is a all new statue of an all time favorite Jurassic Park dinosaur: the Dilophosaurus! This dinosaur has not been seen outside of the original Jurassic film (with two Easter Egg cameos in the Jurassic World films), but is as popular today as it was in 1993. This new 1/4th scale statue is the closest you can come to officially owning the iconic carnivorous creature – check it out below!

The Dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park is a four-feet-tall product of creative license that has the
honor of being one of the few dinosaurs in the franchise to be rendered entirely with practical effects.
The renowned wizards at Stan Winston Studios embraced the task presented to them, and
delivered to the screen a creature capable of going from oddly cute to flat-out horrifying in an
instant. Even before its neck expanded and that toxic venom flew through the air, audiences
knew that Nedry’s day was done.

The artisans at Chronicle Collectibles pay homage to the work of those effects masters with
their Jurassic Park 1/4-scale Dilophosaurus Statue. The creature’s curious expression is fully
realized in one of the two heads included with the piece, which can be readily switched to the
other to capture that signature look with the extended frills and screaming mouth. The
Dilophosaurus Statue is limited to 300 pieces, with the first 100 sold including a Chronicle
Collectibles exclusive — a Barbasol cryo-can in 1/4 scale.

• The Dilophosaurus Statue is crafted in hand painted poly-resin.
• 14″ tall x 21″ long x 12″ deep.
• Switch out head for extended frill, open mouth display option. An additional small base
styled like the paddock markers serves as a stand for either head when not displayed
with the statue.
• Limited edition of 300 pcs
• Chronicle Collectibles Exclusive: 1/4 scale Barbasol cryo can- limited to the first 100
orders.
• Estimated to ship Q2 2020
• Priced at $899 (and eligible for no-interest payment plans)

Available for pre-order now! If you’re a collector of high end statues, this one is not to be missed – the inclusion of two different heads really hammers home the versatility of this dinosaurs design variations, and is great for multiple display opportunities.

Will you be picking up this statue? Sound off in the comments below, and as always, stay tuned for the latest news!
