McFarlane Toys‘ Movie Maniacs was one of the first toy lines dedicated to horror back in the late ’90s. Its recent revival has focused more on non-horror properties, but every once in a while it evokes its classic roots.
Jaws is joining the Movie Maniacs line with a 6.25″ posed figure of the poster boy for its 50th anniversary.
Limited to 8,100, the shark comes includes an environmental base, printed backdrop, collectible art card, individually numbered certificate of authenticity, and a secret bonus item.
Due out in August, it’s available to pre-order for $34.99.
In Jaws, when the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town’s chief of police, a young marine biologist, and a grizzled shark hunter embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again.
Directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Peter Benchley and Carl Gottlieb, the 1975 classic stars Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary, and Murray Hamilton.
A 50th anniversary edition of Jaws hit home video earlier this week, and the film airs on NBC with a new introduction by Spielberg tonight. It also returns to theaters nationwide from August 29 to September 4.
