The Matchbox Jurassic World series continues to surprise collectors with its diverse vehicle selection, and one standout model is the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6. While perhaps not the most iconic Jurassic Park vehicle, this formidable six-wheeled truck made appearances in both Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom, adding a touch of real-world military-grade toughness to the dinosaur adventures. Let’s delve into what makes this Matchbox rendition a worthy addition to any collection.
This Matchbox model, designated FMX22, captures the essence of the real Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 in a compact 2 7/8 inches. For a non-premium price point of around $1.25, it offers surprising detail and captures the aggressive stance of the full-size truck.
The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 is known for its imposing size, featuring a crew cab and a spacious pickup bed, and Matchbox has effectively translated this into the miniature scale. Notably, the front license plate replicates the “G-012” plate seen in Jurassic World, confirming this is indeed the Asset Containment Unit vehicle deployed against the Indominus Rex in the movie. This attention to detail enhances its appeal for fans of the franchise.
Turning to the rear of the model, the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 badging, along with “G63,” “AMG,” and “6×6” logos, are sharply printed. The inclusion of a spare tire mounted in the truck bed is another accurate detail that adds to the realism of this Matchbox rendition.
While perhaps not as immediately recognizable as the Jeep Wrangler or Ford Explorer from the original Jurassic Park, the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 offers a unique and cool addition to the Jurassic World Matchbox lineup. The size, sculpting, paint application, and detailed logos all contribute to a high-quality feel, especially considering it is primarily constructed from plastic, a signature of the Matchbox series, contrasting with the diecast metal often found in Hot Wheels cars.
Overall, the Matchbox Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 is a surprisingly appealing model. Its robust design and movie-accurate details make it a standout piece, even among other Jurassic World vehicles. For collectors and fans alike, this miniature beast is definitely worth adding to the garage. For those seeking more Matchbox Jurassic World vehicle reviews, explore these related articles:
