Mattel has announced the launch of a new Jurassic World action figure based on singer Jimmy Buffett's cameo in the movie. Remember when he saves two margaritas during a dimorphodon attack? Soon, you can relive that moment with your own Jimmy Buffett figure!
Mattel's Unique Tribute to Jimmy Buffett
The Mattel “Jurassic World Hammond Collection Bubbles Up Jimmy Buffett Figure” is an interesting addition to the franchise's merchandise. The action figure pays homage to Buffett's cameo by donning his island-themed outfit complete with sunglasses and flip-flops. But that's not all.
Our miniature Jimmy Buffett gets to stand on a margarita concoction platform, much reminiscent of his love for the beverage. He is surrounded by tiny ‘flying' dimorphodons—a nod to the memorable scene from the movie.
Fun Features of the Action Figure
The attention to detail on this action figure is downright amazing. The 3.75 inches tall figure even comes with lights and authentic sounds. When you turn the base, the margarita glass lights up and plays music, mimicking the lively atmosphere. You'll also hear a whirring sound like a blender and the noise of swarming dimorphodons. Jimmy Buffett holds two drink glasses, and Mattel has thoughtfully included a “lost shaker of salt” accessory to complete the vibe.
Giving Back with Each Purchase
In a move that benefits music lovers and children alike, Mattel will donate $5,000 and 5,000 toys to Singing for Change. This charity, established by Buffett in 1995, provides funding for projects that promote positive change in people's lives and in our communities.
The Upcoming Jurassic World Installment
With the next installment of Jurassic World currently filming, fans can look forward to keeping their excitement alive with this unique action figure. This sequel promises to launch a new era of Jurassic films, featuring a fresh cast including Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and newcomer Audrina Miranda.
The Jurassic World franchise has surely found its footing despite mixed reviews of the previous films, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World: Dominion. Proving their power at the box office, these films garnered earnings of $1.3 billion and $1 billion, respectively.
In conclusion, whether you're a fan of Jurassic World, Jimmy Buffett, or both, Mattel's new action figure is a fun and unique addition to your collection. Plus, each purchase helps out a great cause. So keep your eyes peeled for the release on July 25th at 9 am PT. If past success is any indication, these might fly off the shelves as quickly as those ‘roaring' dimorphodons!
