Hasbro Unveils New Jurassic Park Toy Line
"Jurassic Park is one of the most successful film franchises of all time and has a passionate fan base," said Derryl DePriest, Vice President of Marketing at Hasbro. "Dinosaurs are also tremendously popular with kids, and Jurassic Park is the mark of authenticity when it comes to realistic and exciting dinosaur play."
"Since the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park first stomped onto movie screens more than 15 years ago, they've captured kids' imaginations," said Karen Dodge, Senior Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer, Toys"R"Us. "There is no better place to find toys based on kids' favorite characters than Toys"R"Us, and we're excited to be the only retailer to offer kids and collectors official Jurassic Park action figures."
"Jurassic Park remains the quintessential dinosaur brand," said Stephanie Sperber, Executive Vice President, Universal Partnerships & Licensing. "The movies still rank as one of the top five trilogies of all time, and with Hasbro and Toys"R"Us behind the line, we know there will be great demand for the product. We truly have a winning combination on our hands."
Hasbro's Jurassic Park product line will be available exclusively at Toys"R"Us stores beginning this fall, featuring authentic dinosaur action figures in various sizes, such as:
Jurassic Park Basic Dinosaur Two-Pack Assortment - Now, kids can assemble their own dino army with this collection of authentic Jurassic Park dinosaurs! With two dinosaurs in each pack, this assortment allows children to create amazing dinosaur adventures. Ages: 4 & up; No batteries required
Jurassic Park Deluxe Dinosaur and Figure Assortment - Each deluxe two-pack in this assortment comes with a dinosaur and a "Dino Tracker" action figure that is equipped with an accessory that lets them track their prey. Now, kids can determine who will win the hunt -dinosaurs or humans. Ages: 4 & up; No batteries required
Jurassic Park Electronic Dinosaur Assortment - The battle is coming! These fully articulated dinosaurs battle each other and have "dino-damage" to show for it. Each dinosaur lets out a fierce roar when kids activate its individual attack action. To create a more realistic battle, kids can also press the "dino-damage" to hear the dinosaur howl. Ages: 4 & up; 3 "A76" or "LR44" Alkaline batteries required (included)
Jurassic Park Deluxe Electronic T-Rex - The king of the dinosaurs has arrived! This massive T-Rex comes to life with multiple growls, roars and howls and even a "bone crunching" sound effect for when it eats its prey. Additionally, its motion activated stomping sounds are sure to strike fear into humans and other dinosaurs alike. This giant dinosaur comes with a "Dino Tracker" action and a weapon that really fires. As an added bonus, the back of the box has an illustration that can be cut out and assembled into an off-road vehicle. Ages: 4 & up; 3 "AAA" batteries required (included)
Since Universal Pictures and Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment first joined forces to unleash an adventure over 65 million years in the making, Jurassic Park has become the "premier" and "authentic" dinosaur brand the world over. When Jurassic Park was released in 1993, it became an instant phenomenon. In the years that followed, two additional films were released - The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III - bringing the trilogy's worldwide box office total to more than $2 billion. The franchise continues to resonate with consumers worldwide via consumer products, popular attractions at Universal Studios Theme Parks and annual airings of the three films on a multitude of television networks.
Jurassic Park was released June 11th, 1993 and stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Bob Peck, Martin Ferrero, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards. The film is directed by Steven Spielberg.

This is very old news. Jptoys.com has had these on display since about June. The toys look like complete crap. the worst is the t-rex. They have a pick of the traditional brown rex on the box, but the actual toy has a red stripe down his back, like he thinks he's a punk rocker. Not sure why this belongs on a movie news site, but there you have it. Sigh... anyone know a better movie site with more up to date and relevant info?

They look f*cking terrible. I mean if they redid the ones from the first movie I would be all over these, as I own all the originals still sealed. Here is the link to see them. Ugh. What trash.

Unless Michael Crichton had a secret manu for a 3rd novel I really don't want to see a 4th installment, cuz it was a bit disapointing. Although I did appreciate how the third one used some of the story from the first book.

Lol. I'm with kingbady. Make it a case of tequila it will be 3D. :)
And the idea of dinosaurs being military weapons like they had, is f*cking stupid. So don't go in that direction.

so much useless crap surrounding Jurassic Park, it was great at the time, now its just that classic (3rd one sucked), if they ever intend on a 4th they really gotta pull out the stops and make it really good but guess what everyone I bet $1000 it will be 3D lol

I AM FRATSON
There was a Jurassic Park 4 in the works, couldnt get the right, before Crichton passed away. Its been kicked around. Some feel once he died that was it. Its on the back burner indef. as of now. But with a new toy line and Speilbergs interest, it could still come about
