Shoe Palace Presents A Jurassic Park Collection 65 Million Years In The Making
Isla Nublar – 2023 – Shoe Palace and Jurassic Park are both turning 30 this year, and to celebrate, Shoe Palace is creating a collection dedicated to the iconic adventure film. The assortment features exclusive styles that can only be found at Shoe Palace retail locations.
When Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment released Jurassic Park on June 11, 1993, it changed movies forever. The special effects used to bring the dinosaurs to life were mind blowing for audiences. Jurassic Park changed how films were made; and while the effects were awe inspiring, the film itself, with its characters, story, and adventure is what has made it an enduring classic for three decades.
Shoe Palace opened its doors for the first time in 1993. From the start, Shoe Palace put value on customer service and carrying top products from some of the biggest names in the industry. What started as a single location in the Bay Area, has grown into over 200 locations nationwide, including a successful website, shoepalace.com.
The collaboration between Shoe Palace and Jurassic Park includes exclusive apparel pieces that can only be found at Shoe Palace. The collection features Tees, a camo shirt, camo shorts, Jurassic-inspired vest, and cargo shorts.
Celebrate the film that changed popular culture this August 10th exclusively at Shoe Palace stores and at shoepalace.com.

About Shoe Palace
In 2023 Shoe Palace will be celebrating 30 years of business. The footwear company currently has close to 200 locations across the country and a successful e-commerce website. The retailer is one of the most trusted names in the industry with a list of partners that includes Nike, Jordan Brand, adidas, New Balance and many, many more. Shoe Palace is the realization of a dream its founder, Agob Mersho, believed could only be accomplished in America. His goal from the start was simple, he wanted to provide a better life for his wife and five kids. In 1978, Agob made the bold choice to move his family from their home country of Syria to the United States. It took 15 years of trial and error, but eventually the first Shoe Palace location opened its doors in the Bay Area of California in 1993.
Yesterday, news broke that the popular deck-building card game Magic: The Gathering will be adding Jurassic Park/Jurassic World themed cards to its roster.
They will be a part of the new Lost Caverns of Ixalan line, the ninety-eighth expansion for Magic which is currently set to be released in November of 2023, and will most likely be found in special expansion bundles and booster packs. Typical Magic booster packs start at around $7.99, and expansions usually are $35+, depending on the size.
While there are no real specifics yet as to what we can expect the line to entail, it’s reported that the Jurassic cards will be themed around all six of the films, spanning thirty years.
There is a history of Magic the Gathering having beautifully illustrated dinosaur and prehistoric-themed cards, and the inclusion of Jurassic dinosaurs, events, and powers in this game will certainly make for interesting gameplay in the near future!
With San Diego Comic Con well underway, the Jurassic reveals are heating up! Corey in the house is on the ground at the con and you can follow the coverage and updates on Twitter and Instagram.
But let’s get real for a moment.
Last week I whined about the lack of accurate diecast vehicles for the legendary Jurassic vehicles… and Jada heard me. I mean, obviously they didn’t, but they did just unveil one sexy (and highly accurate) diecast of the 1992/1993 Ford Explorer! Check it out below:
Isn’t she lovely, isn’t she glorious?
The sudden unveiling comes after their not-so-accurate Hollywood Rides version dropped a few months back. We thought this might be it for Jada but they just screamed their way into my heart, and hopefully yours too.
The John Bell designed tour vehicle is in the 1:18 scale which aligns with the Matchbox 1:18 Jeep Wrangler that came out during Fallen Kingdom’s reign of terror, and means it’ll be roughly the same scale as Mattel’s Jurassic action figures.
It will retail at $120 USD and the estimated release date is Spring 2024. Never have I wished for time to move faster than right now.
We’re unsure if there will be light-up headlights and taillights on this vehicle, but it does look like there could be an LED housed within those front lights. See for yourself in the gallery below.

TOMY have launched a Kickstarter crowdfund for a 1:10 scale accurate DeLorean from the original Back to the Future movie, and it’s bloody gorgeous.
The authentic Time Machine vehicle is 17 inches long and made with diecast metal parts, with working interior and exterior lights, and real smoke that emits from the rear fins.
The project was “3x funded in 1 day”, but you can still put your hard earned cash behind it and secure yourself an iconic movie vehicle that will display perfectly at home on the shelf, on your bedside table, in your bathroom, or mounted on the front of your crappy ’98 Toyota Corolla.
Why are we posting about this? Well, have the Jurassic Park vehicles ever had an accurate diecast? I mean, truly accurate? You could argue the (awesome) Iron Studios Ford Explorer achieved this, but unfortunately the final product forgot the front suspension, thus rendering the $600+ diecast vehicle as not quite perfect. The Matchbox 1:18 Jeep Wrangler also got it right – but it never reached the global market and is now quite difficult and expensive to obtain.
It’s time to bring Jurassic Park’s vehicles to the diecast market, at the same level of detail and love as seen in this DeLorean. The Ford Explorer and Jeep Wrangler featured in the 1993 movie deserve their spot on your shelf (or your Corolla) and perhaps a crowdfund is the way to go.
You can learn more about TOMY’s DeLorean by checking out the detailed Kickstarter. What are your thoughts?
Don’t forget: Mattel Creations launched their first Jurassic Park crowdfund which features some highly-detailed Jurassic items, and it ends in just 9 days! Get backin’!
Two brand new figure sets have been announced as part of Mattel’s 2023 San Diego Comic-Con lineup! Let’s dive into these two figures and get you up to speed on the best way to get your hands on one.
First up is the new The Hammond Collection “Man Creates Dinosaurs” Steven Spielberg Figure. Take a step behind the magic and into production with this vintage recreation of the famous director hard at work. You can recreate the making of the film with this set which includes a figure of Spielberg and various accessories including a director’s chair and camera, and a companion Dilophosaurus, and even a life-size cardboard replica of the Jurassic Park clapperboard as the packaging.
This figure will cost $30 and will be available one of two ways. First up, if you were one of the lucky ones to get tickets to San Diego Comic-Con this year, it will be available on site through the exclusives lottery. Be sure to sign up for a Mattel Creations time slot through the Exclusives Portal. The second way to score one of these figures is online here. Online purchases begin on July 21, 2023 at 9:00am PDT.
Next up is the Hot Wheels Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler & Dr. Ian Malcolm set. This miniature set features a diecast Jeep Wrangler and Ian Malcolm figure incased in packaging resembling the outside the Tyrannosaurus Rex paddock. If you have a spare T. Rex laying around, you can recreate the iconic chase scene!
Like the Spielberg set above, this one will be available onsite at San Diego Comic-Con, or online here on July 21, 2023 at 9:00am PDT. Best of luck getting your hands on these two amazing collectibles!

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.
