I, Emperor Dinobot, am also fond of plush prehistoric fauna. When I read that Little Softs were offering a quirky, newly described Scottish rhamphorhynchid, I had to jump into it. It is very bittersweet for me to be writing this review, though, and I will explain so later.

Deinonychus was perhaps the most noticeable omission from the Beasts of the Mesozoic Raptor Series, but it will soon be available in all its feathery glory! Check out these images of the 1/18 scale painted prototype.
The terrible claw never looked better.

July 1 is Canada Day, so today we shall be taking a gander at one of the most famous Canadian dinosaurs, Gorgosaurus. I do believe that Gorgosaurus was the second tyrannosaur I ever learned about after Tyrannosaurus rex, courtesy of an illustration in a Dover colouring book that I had when I was but a wee lad.

Creative Beast has released the catalog shots of the Cyberzoic Achillobator. Decked out in Fire Clan armour and ridden by a Fire Guard, it looks like one scary customer!
And don’t forget that the armour can be reconfigured into a relentless Razorhead robot!
Review: Giganotosaurus (Jurassic World: Dominion, Hammond Collection by Mattel)

Opinions about Jurassic World: Dominion and its Giganotosaurus design aside, if you wanted a decent action figure of this animal upon the film’s release, you were SOL. Mattel only released one Giganotosaurus in the mainline and although it had some cool action features it resembled the animal in the movie about as much as the movie animal resembled the real Giganotosaurus.

Here’s a pretty nifty new addition to the Jurassic Park ’93 Classic series: the Tyrannosaurus rex Off-Road Tracker Pack.
As you can plainly see, this latest tyrant lizard has a noticeably unique head sculpt. Between that and the colour scheme, it’s clearly a homage to the Jurassic Park Series 2 Young T.

Hello, DinoToyBlog readers! Back in 2018, I took a look at the then brand-new Extreme Chompin’ Tyrannosaurus rex from Mattel. Now, six years later, I return with a look at one of its now numerous variants.

For this year’s San Diego Comic Con, Mattel is offering up an exclusive set featuring the late music legend and philanthropist Jimmy Buffett, who had a very brief cameo in Jurassic World.
As you can see, the set consists of Buffett’s character, two margaritas, three miniature Dimorphodons with display rods, and a glass-shaped stand.

Most ankylosaurs are classified as either Ankylosauridae or Nodosauridae. Ankylosaurids are easily distinguishable by their wide, blocky heads and tails terminating in solid bone clubs, and include the likes of Ankylosaurus itself, Euoplocephalus, Jinyunpelta, Pinacosaurus, and Zuul.

And here they are, Haolonggood’s Stegosaurus trio! And lest anyone point out that Stegosaurus toys are already aplenty, note that these are S. ungulatus, not the usual S. stenops. S. ungulatus was the larger of the two and had taller and narrower plates.

Stegouros (roofed tail) is a genus of late Cretaceous ankylosaur from Chile’s Dorotea Formation. It was described in 2021and has already proven to be a fairly popular dinosaur with three mass produced toys to its name. One from CollectA, another from Mattel, and this one from Safari Ltd.
