This Jurassic Park mini standee uses my favorite Jurassic Park promotional image. I remember seeing the same visual on a much larger standee back in 1993. It’s not very tall, about 40 cm or 15 inches. I acquired it about 16 years ago online, one of my first eBay purchases ever!
You know those limited edition Blu-Ray box sets like they did for Jurassic Park and Jurassic World and many other movies? That idea isn’t quite that new actually. Back in 1994 Universal Pictures released a special edition Jurassic Park VHS set. It was packed in a special DNA carry case and featured besides the Jurassic Park VHS, a booklet about dinosaurs and their DNA, a security pass, a 3D hologram watch and a Jurassic Park map. The map is quite interesting because the visuals seem like nothing that have been used before. It’s likely they were created just for this deluxe…
Today is the official release date of Jurassic World on Blu-Ray here in Belgium, and many countries around the world. I rushed to my local Carrefour supermarket (it’s our Walmart or Target) right after work to get my copy. Right at the entrance there was a big stand for the Blu-Ray release with a huge Indominus Rex cut-out. At the toy department I was very surprised to find the Jurassic World Matchbox sets… I hadn’t seen these before here in Belgium. And even a bigger surprise were the Delta, Charlie and Echo Growlers! I had no idea these were going to be released…
