Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park's current retail presence is a reissue of the Jurassic Park III Spinosaurus 1/35 scale kit, which is taking preorders at Rakuten Books. The property also appears in Universal Studios Japan's 25th anniversary merchandise, paired with One Piece.

Synthesized from 4 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

Two of the four recent stories about Jurassic Park concern retail and theme-park merchandise rather than new film or series production. The most recent, from October, is a plastic model kit: the 1/35 scale Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park III is accepting preorders at Rakuten Books for 6,032 yen against a reference price of 6,600 yen. The kit builds a dinosaur about 41 cm long and 19 cm tall including its diorama base, posed on one leg with skin molded over an inner body, and it uses the same molds as the kit released in January 2024.

The earlier pair of stories, from late August, cover Universal Studios Japan's 25th anniversary merchandise line, announced on a Tuesday ahead of a September 9 on-sale date at the in-park Studio Style store. One collaboration pairs One Piece with Jurassic Park, showing Monkey D. Luffy at the Jurassic Park attraction interacting with a T-Rex. The One Piece side of the line includes T-shirts plus a bottle and tote bag. The Detective Conan items, paired with Back to the Future, include a mug and figure set. No prices had been announced at press time, and purchasers must show a valid admission ticket or annual pass on the day. One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda and Detective Conan creator Gosho Aoyama both released statements congratulating the park.

A separate October story covers the closure of Tippett Studio in August 2026 and the auction of its props and memorabilia. A set of 90 CD-ROMs from that auction has been digitized and posted to the Internet Archive, holding CG animation test clips, Tippett interviews, behind-the-scenes images from RoboCop and Starship Troopers, and work materials from The Empire Strikes Back. No Jurassic Park material is named among the contents.
