Safari’s latest reveal is a repaint of their Kentrosaurus figure. Looks rather snazzy in orange and blue.

Ever since I, Emperor Dinobot, managed to get most of my Jurassic pterosaurs on the ceiling, I made the reealization that doing so would make it impossible for me to review certain individuals, especially many of the repaints and retools Mattel has released in the last few years.

Now here’s something rather exciting from Bandai: the Plannasaurus Spinosaurus. First you assemble the plastic skeleton, then you attach the skin and flesh pieces to create the most up-to-date restoration of the world’s most famous finned fish eater. I believe this is the very first “new” Spinosaurus figure that isn’t posed in a swimming or quadrupedal stnace.

Nothosaurus is a genus of Triassic marine reptile that belongs to the Sauropterygia clade, along with other weirdos like placodonts and plesiosaurs. Aside from the plesiosaurs all members of the clade would go extinct by the end of the Triassic.

It all began with a friendship, an illness, and the return to my favorite franchise. It is actually a sad story, but I feel like I must tell it because today is the 22nd anniversary of Jurassic Park III’s release in the United States, which is where I am writing this review from.

Mattel’s upcoming Target exclusive Legacy Collection Mamenchisaurus is now listed on the Target website. Looks more like Diplodocus to be honest, but it’ll probably be a popular seller regardless. Who’d have believed five years ago that we’d have so many giant sauropod toys?
Review: Mosasaurus (Papo)

My sincere thanks to Happy Hen Toys for furnishing this review sample.
More Mosasaurus toys have been produced in the 8 years since Jurassic World than in the entire previous history of the toy industry. The majority of those toys have been influenced by the JW design, with spikes all over the back, cavities all over the head, and an old-fashioned tail.
