Editorial Review

Just looking at this well-detailed attack scene from the original Jaws movie calls up that awful theme music. Todd McFarlane's artistry was a bit too expert: one side effect of looking at this figure set too long is a slight, unconscious twisting of the lip. In every other way, it's a collector's dream. The shark, working its way onto the destroyed dinghy, features a famously blood-stained maw crowded with sharp teeth. Dark waves break over the sinking boat and its crushed mast, and one of its barrel buoys floats alongside. The doomed captain also comes with the set: in two gory, torn pieces! You can place half of him in the shark's mouth, or snap him back together and pretend he was never chum in the movie. --Diane Beall

If you're a horror or just plain film fan you have to own this awesome piece of memorabilia. Not so much a "toy" as a model it captures the thrilling ending of the classic, JAWS perfectly even coming with a little "Quint" that you can fit into JAW's gaping maw. (How cute, he even comes apart at the waist revealing bloody innards, awwww!) The only gripe I have (call me crusty like good 'ol Quint I suppose) is that this is so much a sculpture and not a toy. I would've liked to be able to close JAW's mouth or be able to remove him from the playset like their King Kong is able to. These are minor gripes though it is still cool as all hell. Suggestion: Make a JAWS 2 figure with a removeable JAWS shark or better yet make an 18" JAWS with a mini-Roy Schieder! Bottom line: Own this great Mcfarlane, you movie maniacs!!

Fans looking to get a small slice of their favorite movie will be in heaven with the Jaws Box Set. McFarlane Toys does their usual top-notch job on the sculpting and detailing, and the value-for-money is great. The set includes the doomed ship Orca, complete with Jaws himself (itself?), rising up onto the deck to consume the Skipper, Quint. Quint is the capper to a great toy: he is able to split into two pieces, and fits perfectly into Bruce's mouth.......
The details on this toy are PHENOMENAL!! From the perfectly sculpted waves to the look on Quint's face, McFarlane Toys really pulled out all the stops. They even perfectly re-created the interior of the Orca, which most people would probably never even notice.

I brought this set to work with me, to show a friend, and everyone that passed my desk had to stop and play with it. Everybody wanted to have one of their own......

Note to McFarlane toys: MORE!!!!!

I'm not a collector of McFarlane movie models, but since JAWS is one of my favorite films I couldn't resist this beautifully crafted set piece. If you're a McFarlane fan or a JAWS fan or know someone who is, do not pass this item up. I just wish that it had not taken a quarter of century for a decent Jaws "toy" to come along. Although this is more of a static model than a toy, the fact that the figure of Quint can be inserted in the shark's mouth, stood on deck, or even "bitten" in half, gives this model some minor degree of playability. I still, however, would like to see someone come out with a fully playable action figure line for Jaws... perhaps for the 30th Anniversary of the film? (Hint, hint!)

Now the negatives for this item, which are very minor. The figure of Quint is great, but where's Chief Martin Brody? While Quint was being eaten in this scene, Brody had a front row seat and the model seems incomplete without him. But I won't remove a star in my overall rating... Read more
