[Toy Fair] Official ‘Jaws’ Board Game Takes a Unique Two Act Approach to Recreate the Film
All these years later, Jaws still endures as one of the all-time great horror movies, and Toy Fair (which doesn’t even actually kick off until tomorrow) has been pretty Jaws-heavy this year with Funko’s reveal of an entire upcoming wave of vinyl toys based on the 1975 classic. Announced by Gizmodo tonight, an official Jaws board game is also swimming our way!
As the site explains, the game is split up into two acts; when the shark has been located, Act 1 is complete, and you then flip over the game board to begin the hunt in Act 2.
And yes, one player controls the shark!
In Act 1: Amity Island, the shark prowls secretly through the waters around the island attacking swimmers and avoiding capture. Meanwhile the other players try to pinpoint the shark’s location while also saving the tourists.
Then in Act 2: The Orca, experience the climactic battle aboard the slowly sinking Orca. Brody, Hooper and Quint are well-armed… but they don’t know where the great white will strike next!
The 2-4 player game will be released by Ravensburger in June 2019, selling for $30.
For the first time since it sold out back in 2021, Spirit Halloween has brought their life-size replica of the Terror Dog from the original Ghostbusters back to life this week!
The incredible prop was originally put up for grabs in 2019, and it measures a massive 30″ tall and 59″ long. Made of latex and foam, the Terror Dog weighs a whopping 48 pounds.
The demonic dog’s eyes even light up a glowing, terrifying red!
Spirit Halloween details, “Your favorite Ghostbusters character is alive! This life-size Terror Dog replica will make all of your guests stare in fear and give them a thrill as its eyes light up a glowing red. Once the beast is unleashed, we suggest you run while you can! It could be too late once this demonic dog has you in its grip!”
The cost? $599. You can grab yours from Spirit Halloween now.
The product reviews on Spirit Halloween’s website rave, “Looks awesome, realistic, not cheaply made, easily put together, and comes apart to store.” Another customer writes, “Overall this is truly the most epic decoration we have purchased.”
