Mattel Creations - Jurassic World the Gates Crowdfund
Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2023 12:20 pm
Hey JurassicFam, We need some support. While $250 USD is a lot, if we can get a lot of backers (all 5.000) before July 11th, we will get an additional bonus (paddock signs!). What's more, here is that in order to make the set worth that price tag, we need 10,000 people to back this puppy. Yeah, it's a high-reach goal, but there's a lot that the gate does that makes it worthy of being awesome.
At the basics, this thing is tall and amazing and has a lot to offer. First, it is motorized and has the ability for a manual override to pose the doors. Second, there are a couple of different modes where it plays the main theme along with jungle ambient noises from day, night, and hurricane. Third, it has various flashing lights (torches, mini-spotlights, and fence lights). The gate itself takes 4 AA batteries to power it, but it has the option to plug in an AC adapter so it doesn't drain batteries. The explorer offers a bunch of detailing absent from the initial release and has RUBBER TIRES.
When we reach 6,000, we unlock the fence attachments and a more detailed Tim figure. The fences are elastic, and you can actually attach Tim to the fence. Also, they have lights on them that work when you plug them into the gate.
At 8,000, we get a piece I personally feel sells this set for me completely, and that is the Buck. It is the male T. rex from the second film. He has his scars, resculpted head, neck, and feet to be more accurate to the animatronic plus high-quality paint apps. Why the Buck? It's been a highly requested figure by Mattel, and we are getting it now. Rexy has had multiple figures over the last couple of years, so it is nice for one of the other Rexes to get some love.
10,000 gets us, Lex, with a hat - so a new head sculpt like Tim, and more detailed paint apps like the detailing on her shirt from the standard Legacy collection release. Plus, a GOAT with a detachable leg. Some might argue this is the true star of this set!
So if we don't get this, we won't ever get another chance at something like this because like all crowd-funders if it doesn't reach the goal it means it won't be produced. So, If we can prove and show the power of fandom for a project like this, it is likely that there will be a bigger investment put towards the line for many years to come to keep us active and engaged. If you have the coin and a willingness to see these made, go ahead and support it here! We need to spare no expense!
