Matchbox has been having a lot of success with their Jurassic World tie-in. There was a stumbling block when they first got it, as Mattel only secured the license shortly before the first Jurassic World film was release, so had no time to develop properly some cool models. But, by the time of the second film in 2018, they had come up with some fantastic castings of vehicles that were actually in the film. Plus, they dove back into the history of the Jurassic Park/World films to add in many more iconic vehicles. With the latest Rebirth film arriving in 2025, again we have seen a number of Matchbox models. This time, they appear to simply be released in 2 batches, and I have taken some time to check out the first batch, which I will be posting on the Wheel Collectors website. Sadly, they never got the Jurassic models in themselves, so I hunted them down myself. It has been a lot of fun, and you may notice that I skipped a single in this batch. But, I also finished off by checking out the first batch of 5-packs as well. It will become obvious why I skipped a single by the end. As always, if you click here, it will take you to my Matchbox Monday section of their website. I hope you enjoy my review.
Love the throwback graphics on the Wrangler. Wish they’d re-release the crushed Explorer #4.
Yeah, it is a bit strange how they haven’t re-issued that one.
