The loudest noise coming out of San Diego Comic-Con is almost always about upcoming movie and TV adaptations, particularly in the superhero, sci-fi or fantasy genres, but within collectors circles, there’s always buzz around artwork, action figures, comics and Funko Pops too. A lot of franchises use the convention to announce or tease new offerings. Jurassic Park/ Jurassic WorldThe franchise was no different. Mattel gave fans a look at a ton of dino-themed action figures on the horizon, and there’s one that I cannot get enough of.
Remember that scene in Jurassic Park where Dr. Sattler digs through the dinosaur poop to try and figure out what’s going on with the triceratops? Well, that’s being rolled out as a toy. You can check it out in all its glory below…
As you can see, Dr. Sattler comes with interchangeable arms. So, if you’d her to be cleaner and more in line with how she starts the tour, you’re certainly free to keep her that way. If you’d like her to get a little grosser, then you can just swap out the hands and she’ll be quickly covered in filth. The equal parts disgusting and amazing figure is slated to hit the market later this year, along with a dilophosaurus, which looks like it’s ready to spray goop all over Dennis Nedry’s stupid thieving face. They are both part of The Hammond Collection. You can check that one out below too…
Jurassic ParkIt has been a popular figure since its original release. There has been a strong market for collectibles in the franchise’s history. But now is an especially good time to release this figure, given that Dr. Sattler (played by Laura Dern) just returned. Jurassic World 3Alongside her co-stars in the original movie, Sam Neill (and Jeff Goldblum) she plays the role of The movie is entitled Jurassic World DominionThe film, which was released in June in theaters, has earned almost a billion dollars at box office since its release.
Mattel, not surprisingly, also made a splash at San Diego Comic-Con with a number of other debuts for other franchises. Quite a few WWE figures debuted, including Some sweet retros. In addition, the popular manufacturer gave fans looks at some amazing Hot Wheels pop culture crossovers and a ton of toys around He-Man’s 40th anniversary.
In the past decade, action figures have seen a huge increase in demand. This is because both kids and collectors want to enjoy premium toys. Regardless of what you might do with this Dr. Sattler figure, it’s a must-own for any Jurassic Park fan, and it’ll also be a great conversation starter given how memorable that scene still is almost thirty years later.
