If there’s one thing I loved about Jurassic World, it was watching all of the extras lackadaisically flee when the dimorphodons attacked the shopping/dining area of the park. One of those extras put in a little extra work to save his drinks from the prehistoric terrors, and that was the legendary singer Jimmy Buffet!
That moment in cinema history is now captured forever, thanks to Mattel and Universal Studios!
Thanks to Preternia, we learned about an upcoming SDCC exclusive future that, in all honestly, is the best thing to come out of the Jurassic World franchise. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the 3.75″ Jimmy Buffet action figure, complete with a Margaritaville display stand!
SDCC 2024 Exclusive: Mattel Jurassic World 3.75" Jimmy Buffett.

According to Toy News International, the Hammond Collection Jimmy Buffet figure will be available via Mattel Creations on July 25 at 9 AM PT. The SDCC exclusive figure will be priced at a reasonable $30.
You can now relive Buffet’s brief margarita-saving moment from Jurassic World. Sadly, the base does not have a sound chip to play one of the legend’s many hits, such as Cheeseburger in Paradise or (my personal favorite) Pencil Thin Mustache. However, you can get all of the Jimmy Buffet tunes you want by visiting any of the numerous Margaritaville locations, including one at the Universal Orlando Resort!
If you’re a more serious collector or if you prefer classic Jurassic Park instead, we have you covered. Click here to check out our JP Buyer’s Guide! We covered some of the best high-end collectibles, including the infamous Barbasol Cryogenics Canister.
Other replicas in the list include Hammond’s cane, maps of the original film’s park, and even the night vision goggles! These items may be high-priced, but you’re paying for officially licensed prop replicas, not something from Wish.
