The summer season is staggering onward and the toy news has shown no signs of slowing down! San Diego Comic Con 2019 has come and gone, and in its wake there has been a massive influx of news for some of our favorite lines and companies. There’s no time like the present to play catch up, so why waste time? Scroll onward to check out the Toy News for the week of July 30th, 2019!
Welcome To 6″ Jurassic Park
Ever since taking over the ‘Jurassic Park/World’ license from Hasbro in 2017, the team at Mattel has absolutely been crushing it by delivering the toys that collecors and fans of the brand want to see! They released a massive line for last year’s ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’, as well as a 3.75″ scale ‘Jurassic Park: Legacy’ line that calls back to some earlier films in the franchise and gave fans figures that many didn’t think we would ever see produced. But now that the dust has settled a little and we are in the quiet gap between films in the series (with ‘Jurassic World 3’ still a year or two away), Mattel asks, what else could fans possibly want? Then they answered their own question with the announcement of the ‘Jurassic Park: Amber Collection’.
First teased at SDCC last year, the ‘Jurassic Park: Amber Collection’ is an all new line of ‘Jurassic’ figures that bring us fan favorite characters and even dinosaurs in fully articulated 6″ scale! The first few releases have been confirmed recently at San Diego Comic Con 2019, with Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm and a classic brown Velociraptor making up the first wave, and Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady and Blue The Velociraptor making up the second wave.
Based on the early images we’ve seen so far, these look like they may very well be some of the best ‘Jurassic’ figures that have ever hit the market! The actor likenesses are solid, and the articulation is absolutely a strong selling point considering that it took a quarter of a century to see these coming to market.
The ‘Jurassic Park: Amber Collection’ is set to be available exclusively at Gamestop stores and online this fall, with preorders currently open on the first wave of figures. If you want a fully articulated 6″ Jeff Goldblum figure, he will set you back a cool $24.99, while the massive Velociraptor will be priced at $29.99. No word yet on who else we may see joining this line, but I know we are most certainly hoping to see a scaled T-Rex in the not too distant future!

Ready to celebrate Marvel’s 80th anniversary, Funko has a few more POP! Vinyls heading our way of Marvel’s most iconic characters in their first appearances like Wolverine, Deadpool, and Iceman! They’ve also announced that they’re adding Electro to their Specialty Series line later this year.
Last but not least, Funko has announced a whole line of new products based on Netflix’s upcoming sequel series to ‘The Dark Crystal’, ‘The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance’. New POP! Vinyls heading our way include Rian, Deet, Hup, the Hunter Skeksis, Aughra, and The Chamberlain Skeksis!
If POP! Vinyls weren’t enough for you, they’re also releasing new figures in their Dark Crystal retro figure line based on the new show. Figures planned for the line include Rian, Deet, Hunter Seksis, Hup, Aughra the Oracle, and a Silk Spitter.
