Jurassic Park 1/12 Scale Figures Kickstarter Coming From Chronicle Collectibles

That looks incredible.

I can’t fathom the price these will be.

I'm thinking probably close to $300 for Blue and What's His Name if they offer a discounted combo like they are dong for the 1/6 JP. Blue by herself probably close to $250.

The stretch goals will be interesting. The headgear for Blue would make a nice one. A non-articulated Baby Blue would also be a nice stretch goal.

Beasts of the Mesozoic is fine with me.

Little annoyed they're calling it the Jurassic World franchise lol, I'm only interested in Jurassic Park. Hopefully they lead with something I'm interested in. I'm not really a fan of kickstarter for this though.

$150 each for a 2-pack, or $250 by themselves... they'll price themselves right out of the market. These are only 1:12, 6 inch scale. Mattel is doing 7 inch for under $30. Yes, the Chronicle human characters will have cloth goods, but Mezcos are in the same league and they're only $80-100 typically.

Yeah the figure itself shouldn't be more than $100 tops, unless it's packed a lot of extras. As much as I love the movie, I'm not sure if Grant or Malcolm require second sculpts or anything but definitely not opposed.

On the other hand, Chronicle's 1/6 raptor is $450! There's almost nothing that'll make me buy a $150 raptor or whatever they wind up charging for it over Mattel's one.

My price estimates are based on Chronicle's 1/6 scale prices which I feel are higher than they should be compared to other companies. Their Grant figure just doesn't look worth $230 and $450 for the raptor is crazy. So, I expect that their 1:12 stuff to have a premium price as well. I suspect the prices will be too much of a premium for me. Especially given that the Mattel line doesn't look bad and for a fraction of the cost.

I disagree on Grant since I think he looks good and am picking that up as well. There's few 1/6 companies making licensed figures for less than $200 these days.

The problem with relying on the Mattel's 1/12 "line" is that there's a total of 3 humans shown so far and Nedry isn't even released Malcolm has been by himself for a long while.

True. Then again, any maker at any time can kill a line before it's "completed." I'm doubting QMX will release their Sam Winchester or Castiel, for example, even though they were shown at an expo at least once. Anyone with their Dean is probably out of luck by now.

My worry would be shelling out hundreds for Chronicle's initial offerings only to find out they'll never do a Hammond or a Sattler, or even Muldoon, and a "cast" will be incomplete.

I only expect to see Owen, Grant and Malcom along with raptor repaints. They may also do the spitter by reusing the raptor body. If so, seems like they'd need to do Nedry in order to get the dino to sell better. But that probably depends on how well the raptors sell.

I'd be very surprised to see any females since it would require a new body. Any secondary characters would probably be exclusives of some sort with an even more premium price tag to cover the lower production number.
