Key Features and Design
The 77984 Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler is built to a large scale, similar to previous LEGO Icons vehicles. The model includes intricate details such as a working steering mechanism, an interior with seats and a dashboard, and a beige soft top made from a specific LEGO fabric. The Jeep is adorned with the designation JP12, referencing the vehicle used by Dennis Nedry in the film. Additionally, the set includes a side build of an Isla Nublar road sign and a minifigure of Dennis Nedry.
Teasers and Future Releases
The announcement was accompanied by a teaser video on LEGO's official Instagram page, which not only showcased the Jeep but also hinted at a potential new set featuring a Triceratops skeleton.
