Mattel Announces Jurassic Park The Gates Crowdfunding Campaign 

Mattel is welcoming collectors to Jurassic Park with their first ever Hammond Collection crowdfunding campaign featuring The Gates

Mattel has revealed a brand new crowdfunding campaign for the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park. Mattel is welcoming collectors back to Jurassic Park with their new The Gates crowdfunding campaign that is loaded with surprises. The campaign itself is priced at $250 with a 5,000 backing goal with three goals after unlock. The main item for the crowdfund is the iconic Jurassic Park gates that are motorized with lights and sound. Opening the gate will play the recognizable theme song from John Williams. The Ford Explorer #5 is also included and will hold some of Mattel's Hammond Collection figures. The Gates stand 20" tall and are fully detailed, and the Ford Explorer is backed with interior details, and rubber tires.

While the Jurassic Park Gates are nice, it is the three extra unlocks that really bring this crowdfund home. After 5,000 backers are reached, the next goal is at 6,000 which will give fans Time and some additional enclosure fences. It is at 8,000 backers, where the real fun begins as a fan-demanded Hammond Collection dinosaur is unlocked with the "Buck" T-Rex from The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Lastly, Lex unlocks at 10,000 backers and she will also come with a goat with removable leg. The Gates are nice, but it is the whole package that is a real treat and with that $250 price stage it could be pushing it. Jurassic Park fans can find the campaign here and it is set to end July 27, 2023.
