I didn’t expect to see this on a recent visit to Target:
Yet another Jurassic World 5-pack from Matchbox, and two new castings. There is a motorcycle I am not familiar with, but I am more focused on the top model, which looked to be another Mercedes-Benz Unimog.
So of course I bought the pack, and took it home. Sure enough:
So another new Unimog. That makes two new Unimogs from Matchbox to join the casting they already had, and if you want to expand even more they join the two recently released from Hot Wheels. It’s a Unimog party at Mattel!
What is the point of this casting? They should have rather made a X-class or a GLS63 AMG instead of this.
Except neither of those vehicles were in the Jurassic Park movies. The Unimog U1300 was, though.
Is that the same Mercedes 6×6 and Kawasaki Brute force already released last year as singles? Cheap.
All the five-packs have included previously-released vehicles and one exclusive coloring.
Missed opportunity, the tires are comically oversized
I think the proportions are accurate to the Unimog U406 rather than the U1300.
I’m glad they’ve finally done an open-topped cage, because the other cage trucks they’ve made so far [Mauler Hauler and the Armored Action Hauler…I’m not sure if the Off-Road Rescue Rig counts] have had roofs that were too low to put much of anything inside. Granted, this one looks too short (lengthwise) for anything to fit, so we may not be improving there.
Still, though, I think this looks like a fun one and I will definitely be looking for it.
The thing is, it isn’t a cage, it’s an observation platform.
C O O L !
Far Out ! There’s nothing more to say, peace !
Anybody know what the bike is? I looked it up on wiki, couldn’t find anything. (No, it’s not the Triumph from last year)
that’s 1 huge DINO bike in that 5 pack
The motorcycle is a Cagiva Canyon 500 from The Lost World.
It even says “Caviga” on it.
Looks a bit comical, almost like the stubby Mini 4WD Unimog Tamiya used to make. While sure, it looks like a hybrid between a Choro Q and a toddler toy, I’ll likely still pick one up.
I hate to admit it, but HW put out the better Unimog this year, between the combat ambulance version and the rally versions. Regret putting back the combat ambulance version the other day at Walmart. I think with the work I had planned (remove all the Mortal Kombat tampos, decal it with proper combat ambulance markings) it would have looked great.
Well, the wheel size aside, the proportions are pretty accurate.
A six pack… never seen one of these.
