These figures are expected to release in early 2020.

A ‘Valiant’ Effort From McFarlane

Well, we’ve officially done it. We have reached the point where we have made so many comic book adaptations, that we are starting to see live action takes on characters that most people thought would never see the light of day again now that the 90s were over. but here we are, and we’re about to talk about an action figure based on the upcoming live-action adaptation of ‘Bloodshot’ starring Vin Diesel. Somehow, this Valiant Comics icon has made it to the big screen and has a live-action film releasing globally in February 2020. As with most comic book adaptations, collectors can look forward to an accompanying toy line and it looks like our friends at McFarlane Toys are bringing this film to your collection!

This week McFarlane Toys released official images of their new 7″ scale Bloodshot figure, based on the character’s appearance in the upcoming film starring Vin Diesel. It looks like this figure is following in the footsteps of McFarlane’s recent ‘Fort Nite’ toy line and will sport plenty of articulation as well as a great sculpt. MacFarlane has seriously stepped up their game in the last two years and it’s really exciting to see them releasing such a wide array of new collectibles. Check out our first look at Bloodshot below!

Chronicle Has Bred Raptors

Just when you think we’ve got all of the coolest ‘Jurassic Park’ collectibles you would ever need, the team from Chronicle Collectibles rolls up and demands your wallet from you by announcing something that you didn’t realize you needed until they showed it to you, and now you can’t live without it! Anyway, what we’re trying to get to is, Chronicle Collectibles has announced an all new 1:6th scale ‘Jurassic Park’ line! The first two figures announced are Alan Grant and an INSANE 1:6th scale Velociraptor, which are available both individually or as a multi-pack. So what are you waiting for? Check out the full release info from Chronicle Collectibles below!

Jurassic Park – Dr. Alan Grant 1/6 Scale Figure (MSRP $229.99)

“Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?”

Noted scientist Dr. Alan Grant stands at the pinnacle of the paleontological world. He’s a dying breed, his love of the hunt defined by the trowel at his belt and his ever-present six-inch Velociraptor claw. For Grant, the journey is as fundamental as the destination, and knowledge gained without getting your hands dirty is missing one crucial element: Fun. He has a craving for wonder, and little patience for technology.

Grant also lacks patience for fundraising. He’s a digger. Time spent groveling for money is time better spent in the field. So when noted theme park mogul John Hammond offers to fully fund Grant’s project for three years in exchange for a few days of Grant’s time, it’s hard to say no.

Thus, Grant’s adventure begins, and the wonder induced by Hammond’s actual, live dinosaurs leads to speculation of the dangers inherent in rushing madly into such an endeavor. Which, in turn, descends into horror, as speculation becomes grim, deadly reality. And Grant soon learns that a lifetime studying the lives of dinosaurs is not the same as learning to survive them.

Chronicle Collectibles is thrilled to bring to Jurassic Park fans worldwide our OneSixth posable figure of Dr. Alan Grant. Featuring a fully-articulated body, the figure includes a fine assortment of accessories, including a pair of gloved hands holding a baby raptor, a hand holding a flare, and two swappable portraits in the likeness of actor Sam Neill.  Adorned with a custom-tailored reconstruction of Grant’s costume from the original film, this figure will allow Jurassic Park fans the freedom to recreate their own vision of Dr. Grant to idealize the figure’s presence on desk or shelf. For fans who choose to order direct from Chronic Collectibles, they will receive a Chronicle Exclusive swap-out hand holding a raptor claw. Quantities are limited, so reserve yours today!

Jurassic Park – Velociraptor 1/6 Scale Figure (MSRP $449.99)

“You stare at him, and he just stares right back.  And that’s when the attack comes.  Not from the front, but from the side…from the other two raptors you didn’t even know were there.”

With that bone-chilling description of a long-extinct reptilian terror, Dr. Alan Grant foreshadowed the horror that would all-too-soon dominate his life.  That tale presaged a cascading sequence of sounds and revelations, each in turn dialing up the level of dread until, at last, that lightning-fast alpha predator is revealed:  The Velociraptor, the supreme pack hunter of Jurassic Park.

While the T. rex was the superficial king of Jurassic Park, the Velociraptors arguably stole the show, especially in terms of skin-crawling fear.  Their calculating eyes, coupled with their speed and ability to make astonishing leaps, made for a far deadlier encounter for young Lex and Tim as the raptors stalked the two children through the compound’s kitchen.

Chronicle Collectibles is thrilled to present to collectors the OneSixth Velociraptor Articulated Figure.  Standing at 25 inches in overall length and 12” in height, our raptor features 12 points of articulation and comes complete with three sets of hands – one with relaxed hands, one neutral position and the others outstretched for an attack.

Discerning collectors who purchase directly from Chronicle Collectibles will enjoy a bonus accessory: the Raptor handler’s stun baton and hard hat. Quantities are limited, so reserve yours today.

Jurassic Park – Dr. Alan Grant and Velociraptor 1/6 Scale 2-Pack (MSRP $624.99)

We have paired our OneSixth Dr. Alan Grant and OneSixth Velociraptor into a Chronicle Exclusive bundle that includes Grant’s Raptor Claw hand and the Velociraptor’s stun baton and hard hat.
