Hold on to Your Butts – Jurassic Park Dinosaur Funko Pops Are Here!

Jurassic Park Funko Pops are invading stores right now, and I could not be more excited. This line has been a long time coming, and I am actually surprised that it took this long for these to see the light of day.

While the human characters from the film are some of the best in film history, for me this is all about the dinos! Funko should have been making dinosaurs forever ago. I can’t be the only one who thinks this (I’m sure I’m not). I finally found all three in this first wave — still can’t find the chase Dilophosaurus anywhere though — and thought we would take a look.

I love the look of the boxes! They don’t do the on-the-side boxed Pops too often, but it looks really neat. Perfect color choices, giant Jurassic Park logo, and yes, you can see the humans on the back. But dinosaurs!

The Raptor Pop is my least favorite of the three. First of all: it cannot stand without the figure stand. I tried everything, but its feet are so uneven that it falls right over. While that is disappointing, it comes with a stand, so it’s not really an issue. The sculpt is excellent, and I think this one could have benefitted from a more running pose like we have seen in the films.

Probably the best sculpt of the three is the Dilophosaurus. The chase one does not have its cowl unfurled, which is a little boring. Good choice by Funko to make this one the regular release. The colors are amazing, and the cowl really adds a lot to the figure. This one also makes the best use of the standard Funko Pop eyes — they look the most natural on this one. By far my favorite.

Which brings us to the T-Rex. This one was the hardest to find, and it’s the dino most people are looking for, of course. While I love the box being on its side, I can’t help but wonder what could have been if this had been a 10-inch deluxe pop. It screams to be one. I’m not sure that they won’t do one down the line, but for now we only have this one. But don’t get me wrong — this is a great Pop. Right down to the little arms, they nailed the pose and everything. I just really wish he was huge.

All three of these are pretty great, and I love that they are now in my collection. Please make many more, Funko!

If you want some of these for your very own, they are in stores now or can be ordered here.

[#SXSW] Walking Through the Ready Player One Activation

This Ready Player One activation walkthrough is brought to us by Bleeding Cool correspondent Brandon Wainerdi from SXSW.

Capitalizing on the hype machine that surrounded Sunday’s premiere of Steven Spielberg’s latest film, Ready Player One also rented out an enormous building in the heart of South by Southwest (SXSW) to build even further excitement.

Fans were literally placed into the fabled OASIS, allowed to run around The Stacks (literally stacked trailer homes), a lifesize Iron Giant, and zero-gravity night clubs. There was a Hot Topic pop-up shop stocked to the brim with Funkos and pop-vinyl key sets, and exorbitant amount of patches made sure that fans could take some of the Ready Player One world home with them.

Various pieces of ’80s paraphernalia were scattered in corners of comfortable sofas and record players. And, then the highlight of the build-out for me especially, was a full replica of the hero DeLorean-  complete with a flux capacitor and a movie-appropriate “Parzival” license plate. I definitely did not hold up the line with photos in a variety of poses to satiate my inner 10-year-old.

As an added bonus — my time at the activation was highlighted by surprise appearance of the full cast of The High Five. Tye Sheridan (Parzival), Olivia Cooke (Art3mis), Lena Waithe (Helen/Aech), Win Morisaki (Daito), and Philip Zhao (Shoto) held court with host Aisha Tyler (Archer) who delved into a Q&A covering everything from their auditions to their prior experience with Ernest Cline’s book (spoiler: not much).

You can read more about the LIVE event hosted by Twitch and IMDB here, which also had an appearance by Ben Mendelsohn (Nolan Sorrento), screenwriter Zak Penn, and author Ernie Cline.

Upstairs, there was a real-life version of the Stacks, each mobile home housing impressive VR experiences (which, obviously, were very tough to accurately photograph). But it was a nice touch and an obvious addition to the already-impressive marketing push. The movie (spoiler free review from the world premiere during SXSW here) might not open to the general public until March 29th, but for some lucky fans in Austin this weekend, the world has already gotten its first real look at living in the OASIS.
