Matt Hooper, played by Richard Dreyfuss, was a marine biologist who helped the sheriff in the 1975 film Jaws. Hooper helped give our heroes scientific insight into the deadly great white shark that has been terrorizing Amity Island. Unlike the rough and obsessive Sam Quint, Hooper is highly educated and more analytical when it comes to tracking down this creature. He relies more on his knowledge of sharks rather than the brute force tactics of the Captain of the Orca. His near-death experience in the shark cage is one of the film's most suspenseful moments, making him an iconic character from the film. NECA is now celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws by creating some new action figures of these heroes.

Matt Hooper has made the cut, and he will come in at 7" tall, features a nice likeness to the actor, and comes with a nice set of accessories. This marine biologist will come with four swappable head sculpts, a pair of alternate arms, and four pairs of hands. That is not all, though, as NECA has also included plenty of gear to track down Bruce with a duffle bag, harpoon, spear, tuba tank, and some crushed cups. The Jaws 50th Anniversary Ultimate Matt Hooper (Amity Arrival) is already up for pre-order at $36.99 with a May 2025 release date.
