Hasbro, Inc. has announced plans to unleash the legendary dinosaurs from Universal Pictures' "Jurassic Park." This fall, under a licensing agreement with Universal Partnerships & Licensing, Hasbro plans to launch a new action figure line based on the film's prehistoric predators exclusively at Toys"R"Us stores across the country.
"'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.
