When NECA originally announced that they had acquired the Jaws license, they had been teasing figures of Quint and Brody, but unfortunately, the Brody figure was canceled due to a licensing conflict. As for the Quint figure, those are currently available as of this year. But what about Matt Hooper, played by Richard Dreyfuss in Steven Spielberg’s horror masterpiece?
NECA initially took to social media to give us our first tease of what appeared to be a Hooper figure, as we see accessories including a blue hat that look to belong to the character.
As part of their San Diego Comic-Con reveals, the toy company confirmed the Matt Hooper figure with our first look at head sculpts, including the accessory of multiple hats. The sculpt itself looks incredible, albeit we need an alternate version of Hooper making funny faces in frustration.
Last we heard, a massive figure of the killer shark is also on the way.
