Mattel confirmed today that the Buck T-Rex figure will proceed to global retail distribution despite the initial crowdfund result. We have reached the agreed objective and will monitor the product launch to ensure the manufacturing quality meets our standards. This outcome confirms the feasibility of regional expansion for collector releases.

This petition is sponsored by Jurassic-Pedia, the unofficial Jurassic Park/Jurassic World encyclopedia. Jurassic-Pedia has always strived to be the most trusted authority of all things Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. We archive the canon of the series in order for the fandom to understand and enjoy it. We want Mattel Creations to release one of the most beloved "dinosaur characters" of the franchise in an action figure form with collector-quality detail and immeasurable accuracy in comparison to the original animatronic produced for The Lost World: Jurassic Park film, as offered by the recent, crowdfund.
Mattel Creations recently held a crowdfund for the Jurassic Park series that was unsuccessfully funded. One of the many things offered on the crowdfund, and at a specific backer level, was the Buck T-Rex from the second movie in this collector-level detail and quality. While our goal is to meet the 5,000 signature level - which is what the original Gates project required to meet to consider it funded, we urge as many people to add their signatures as possible to exceed that specific goal to prove the animal's popularity. We believe this is possible to meet given the animal's popularity and beloved status in the fandom!
Rumor has it the reason for its inclusion in the crowdfund for the Jurassic Park Gates was that it was believed by Mattel that the Buck would not sell if it reached store shelves - we want to prove Mattel wrong in this thought! The dinosaur is a popular and well-loved icon by the fandom due to it being featured heavily in the second movie's climax and ending and we believe it would sell. There are alternatives to brick-and-mortar retailers where it could be offered as an exclusive (Worldwide availability), on Mattel Creations website ideally, another outlet like BigBadToyStore, EntertainmentEarth, or even Amazon.
This petition is to show Mattel there is massive support for making this figure and to help show that there is still a collector market for the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World toylines. Share on social media with these hashtags: #ReleaseTheBuck #NoBuckNoBucks #WeWantTheBuck and let us make it Jurassic!

I have finalized the formal letter addressed to the Mattel Creations design team regarding the missed production opportunity for this figure. This document outlines the market demand for a standalone release and will be sent to the department heads later today.

The current trajectory of this petition establishes a clear demand for the Buck T-Rex figure. I am now preparing a formal summary of these support metrics to present directly to the Mattel Creations product development team.

I adore the buck and doe Tyrranosaurs from The Lost World: Jurassic Park over any other dino from the franchise. If this figure gets us one step closer to that perfectly realized dino pair in toy form, sign me up
Please, mattel releases the Buck Hammond Collection for sale since the Legacy Collection version of 2019 has already become difficult to obtain and this year's version that comes with the Mercedes and Ian Malcom is horrible, its remodeling and with a poor paint application and it is very small and expensive instead if they put it up for sale it would be a guaranteed success
Espero se logre esta petición y distribuyan y vendan en todo el mundo(incluyendo Latino América) el Tyrannosaurus rex Buck en la línea regular de Hammond Collection
The “Buck” was and still is my favorite dinosaur from the franchise. I backed the gates just for the Buck. If it were released, I’d happily purchase 4+ for my collection.
We would love to see this figure released and I'm sure many more would too. We've all been waiting for a detailed buck rex for years
Says the manbaby who felt the need to personally attack the guy on a simple petition.....
This petition is sponsored by Jurassic Pedia, an off brand version of Jurassic Wikia, whos owner (Terry) throws tantrums when he doesn’t get his own way, and a social media guy who uses their profiles as his own personal page; to push his own personal opinions (terrible idea from the owner, but it’s his sinking ship!). In all honesty, anyone reading this page - be it a possible signatory or a member of the Mattel team - don’t take it seriously. Jurassic Pedia is a pointless website, and their representatives are (believe it or not) adults who act like spoilt toddlers. Just look at his X page - @Tyrannosaurtj - total manchild! Buck ‘em! With an F.

This is a character that is essential in collections across the world, especially after releasing the baby T-Rex, to which this is a much needed addition. The Buck T-Rex had no place in the poorly handled crowdfund as it's a character from a different instalment of the franchise and thus deserves it's own release.
