Yahoo Autos Hot Wheels Drops Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler With a Little Jeff Goldblum in the Back
The Jurassic Park Jeep is a classic of American culture. It often feels like any older Wrangler has some sort of Jurassic Park sticker hidden on it, if not the full red livery of the YJ Wranglers from the movie. There have been tons of iterations on it, from folks making the livery out of JK and JL Wranglers to countless toys and artifacts that commemorate the dinosaur movie. Now Mattel has thrown its hat in with a limited-run Jurassic Park Jeep Hot Wheels with a miniature Jeff Goldblum in the back.
Now, I’ll be real with you–it’s been a while since I’ve personally watched Jurassic Park. I’m more of a Jurassic World-era of person, and even then I am not a Jurassic Enthusiast. But the scene that Hot Wheels is commemorating with the model is one of the most iconic in the movie. It’s a Fast and Furious-esque bit of drama, with Jeff Goldblum playing Dr. Ian Malcolm waking up from a nap in the back of a TJ Wrangler. He senses something while waking up, and looks over to a dinosaur track and sees small waves forming as a T-Rex takes colossal steps toward thei makeshift campsite.
