Pez to bring the Jurassic World goods alongside Fallen Kingdom in 2018!
When it comes to merchandise tie-ins, Universal Pictures has spared no expense with Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. Not only will Mattel and Lego bring the goods, not only will there be a videogame, and not only will there be chicken nuggets… there will also be Jurassic World Pez!
First shown off at the Sweets and Snacks Expo this year, PezCollectors shared the first images and details from the lineup:
“The Jurassic World assortment will be released April [2018] with T-Rex, Dilophosaurus and Blue the Raptor. The dispensers feature just the head of the dinosaur on pez stems and they look pretty awesome!
This is in addition to the Jurassic World Gift tin which will be coming out June [2018] with full body T-Rex, Blue the Velociraptor, Triceratops and Mosasaurus on click and play stems. This tin will feature Jurassic World Click and Play Pez and a Jurassic World board game in which the tops of the pez can be used as playing pieces.”
The Tyrannosaurus Rex, Blue, and Triceratops also appeared on the recently unveiled Fallen Kingdom promo merch (in fact, the Triceratops sports a similar pose), and now the Mosasaurus and Dilophosaurus join them. While the first three are certainly part of the new film, as they have film renders and art, the Mosasaurus and Dilophosaurus remain unconfirmed. It’s very possible that they were simply included in the lineup due to their popularity with kids and fans alike (much like with many Jurassic World 2015 toys).
Further, the packaging art is not sporting Fallen Kingdom assets, but rather the keyart seen on the product range from 2015. However, it is stressed that the assets are placeholder and it is very likely to change come 2018 when the items release.
