San Diego Comic-Con exclusive toy releases are beginning to roll out and Mattel’s Jurassic World Hammond Collection has a winner right out of the (Jurassic) gate.
Now you can get your hands on a margarita-gripping Jimmy Buffett in a recreation of the late vacation vibe-setting musician, hotelier, and restauranteur’s cameo in Amblin and Universal Pictures’ Jurassic franchise. Mattel will release the Jurassic World Hammond Collection “Bubbles Up Jimmy Buffett” action figure which depicts his epic escape from dinosaurs but not without both his margaritas for the road.
The figure will be available at Mattel’s booth during this summer’s biggest comic convention in San Diego, taking place July 25-28. The figure is set to run for $30, available at the convention or online via MattelCreations.com. Check out the gallery for all the fun details included for Jurassic and Parrothead collectors, including two cocktails (plus that third giant marg) and of course the fabled Margaritaville lost shaker of salt among the dino chaos.

In an iconic blender-inspired box—a nod to the giant blender in every Margaritaville location—you can feast your eyes on Buffett atop a margarita-style throne platform, surrounded by the “flying” Dimorphodon attack as seen in the movie (that he escapes double-fisting margaritas like the absolute legend he is).
