Review: Mamenchisaurus (Jurassic World, Legacy Collection by Mattel)

3.9 (23 votes)

Mattel’s previous large sauropods made sense. Brachiosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Dreadnoughtus all had significant screen time in the Jurassic franchise. And even though Mattel dutifully, and shockingly, made toys of them all, fans wanted more. Yes, among the Jurassic fanbase there was a subset of collectors yearning for the Mamenchisaurus, which featured briefly enough in The Lost World to allow a motorcyclist to drive between its legs.

Here we have three newly revealed Jurassic World: Wild Roar toys. The first one is a familiar face: Ceratosaurus. The colouration looks cool, but those pronated hands are a downgrade from previous versions.

Another familiar face is Parasaurolophus. This version appears to have an opening mouth, which is not something very many hadrosaur toys feature.

Review: Avaceratops (Jurassic World Epic Evolution Danger Pack

3.4 (24 votes)

The chaos continues! Dinosaurs have evolved, and more species are on the loose! This may sound scary, but it does not have to be. The usually docile, bighorn sheep-sized Avaceratops has been spotted at high altitudes, getting comfortable in their modern colder environments. Their sharp horns are a reminder that, while they generally have a gentle disposition, they should be approached with extreme caution.

In the Marvel universe, Zabu is a Smilodon with near-human intelligence who resides with his human companion Ka-Zar in the Savage Land. And this year, Hasbro’s popular Marvel Legends line will be releasing a poseable toy of him that looks pretty impressive indeed!

Acquiring him, however, requires acquiring six different Marvel characters, each of whom comes with a single piece of Zabu.

Review: Megalosaurus (painted version by Invicta)

4.4 (32 votes)

It is a gray winter day in Jurassic England as the great reptile patrols the forest’s edge. The hunter’s stride seems sluggish at a glance – indeed, the weather is unusually cold this year, and most normal reptiles would have succumbed to the dismal temperatures already. The great hunter is no normal reptile, however.

Review and photos by Torvosaurus, edited by Suspsy

Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! This will be my first review and warrants a Western welcome to introduce myself, as well as introducing the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company’s models. I’ve seen them mentioned on the forum, but these models lack reviews.

Review: Kentrosaurus (Jurassic World, Color Change Captivz by ToyMonster)

3.4 (25 votes)

With the new year comes a new set of Captivz Pop N Lock dinosaurs to collect. If you’re unfamiliar with what Captivz are, they’re blind bag figures hidden inside plastic eggs. Also included in the egg is a bag of slime (the figure is separate from the slime) and a token or trading card with the figure’s stats.

Review: Eotyrannus (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)

4.2 (39 votes)

As the Neovenator pair appears on the scene, the nesting Iguanodons begin rising to their feet and bellowing aggressively. The carnivores pace back and forth rapidly in front of them, jaws snapping and sharp eyes scanning for any discernible weaknesses as they attempt to panic the big herbivores into stampeding.

Two new dinosaurs in the Mattel Jurassic World: Gigantic Trackers series have been unveiled. First we have Bajadasaurus, a South American dicraeosaur famous for its impressive neck spines. Its action feature consists of a raising/lowering neck.

And here is the giant carnosaur Mapusaurus, also a resident of South America.

Dreadnoughtus schrani is a titanosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian to Maastrichtian) of present-day South America. Remains of only two individuals have been described to date, both from the Cerro Fortaleza Formation in Argentina. Dreadnoughtus was one of the largest dinosaurs; estimations put its total length at approximately 26 meters and its weight at 49,000 kilograms, although the holotype is believed to have not been fully grown at the time it died.

Review: Kosmoceratops (Haolonggood)

4.3 (35 votes)

Kosmoceratops is a genus of Chasmosaurine that lived about 75 million years ago in what is now the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Park in Utah. This is where the Kaiparowits formation is located, a rock formation that during the Cretaceous was a jungle bordering the Western Interior Seaway.

Review: Stegosaurus (Boley by Gosnell)

2.8 (28 votes)

Venturing the sea of unlicensed “3rd-party” dinosaur toys can bring interesting results. Sometimes one can find hidden gold; other times one finds something like this Stegosaurus figure, which is certainly among the more unusual takes I’ve seen of the famous roofed reptile (albeit probably not intentionally so).

Review: Ceratosuchops (CollectA)

4.3 (45 votes)

For many years, the only described spinosaur from the United Kingdom was the famous baryonychine Baryonyx. That finally changed in 2021 with the announcement of two additional species: Riparovenator milnerae and Ceratosuchops inferdios. Both were discovered in the Wessex Formation on the Isle of Wight, both are estimated to have been around 8.5 metres in length, and both have been determined to be more closely related to Suchomimus than Baryonyx.
