Although never featured in any Jurassic Park or Jurassic World film, Utahraptor has had ties to the franchise since the beginning. Remains of Utahraptor were first discovered in 1975 but it wouldn’t generate much attention until the discovery of a claw and additional remains in 1991.
News: Upcoming releases from Haolonggood (New for 2025)(Pt.9)
5 (2 votes)
Haolonggood has revealed their pair of Brontosaurus. The thunder lizard is easily one of the most iconic of all dinosaurs and absolutely deserves greater toy representation.
However, both of these colour schemes have been seen on previous Haolonggood releases, particularly the grey one.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Convention Crasher Exclusive)(The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Hammond Collection by Mattel)

Review and photographs by Noideaforaname, edited by Suspsy
The Lost World: Jurassic Park is my favorite of the series thanks in no small part for its portrayal of Tyrannosaurus rex as both savage predators and caring parents, and I have been hoping for a Hammond Collection “Buck” ever since the release of “Rexy” and “Junior.” In 2023, Mattel offered the Buck as a stretch goal to their ill-fated Jurassic Park Gates crowdfund, and tried again in 2025 as a San Diego Comic Con/Mattel Creations exclusive–and succeeded.
Review: Majungasaurus (Haolonggood)
5 (3 votes)
At the same time that Tyrannosaurus rex ruled North America, Majungasaurus was the apex predator of Madagascar, basically filling the same niche as the tyrant lizard on the other side of the world. But Tyrannosaurus was a 40’ (12 meter) long predator that could swallow a human whole, while Majungasaurus maxed out at around 23’ (7 meters) and could have looked you in the eye.

Recur continues to demonstrate just how much they’re improved with two more popular names: Dilophosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus.
The sculpting and accuracy of these toys are truly impressive. Well done, Recur!
Review: Quetzalcoatlus (TNG)
4.7 (3 votes)
When news of the discovery of Quetzalcoatlus first began breaking back in the late 1970s, it inspired a wave of paleoart depicting a rather bizarre and somewhat unnerving creature that ended up bearing very little resemblance to the mighty azhdarchid. The very first rendition appears to have been by Giovanni Caselli in 1975.

It is with a heavy heart that I share my review of the Hammond Collection Dilophosaurus because I’m not the one that was supposed to review it. Fellow reviewer, EmperorDinobot (Luis Perez) was supposed to write about this one but on July 21st he passed away.

Review: Mosasaurus (Jurassic World: Rebirth, Bite ‘N Blast by Mattel)
4.3 (4 votes)
I generally don’t have favorable opinions about the Jurassic World trilogy, but I’ll give them credit for one thing: reinstating Mosasaurus as the A-List paleo-media star it deserves to be. Mosasaurus has been a staple of Mesozoic media since its discovery two centuries ago now; but thanks to its prominent appearances in the Jurassic World films, the mighty quasi-lizard of the ocean has been thrust front and center into widespread fame once again.

In the last several years, the toy dinosaur community has seen an exponential increase in figures of dinosaurs discovered in China, driven mainly by the prolific China-based companies PNSO and Haolonggood. Today we looking at the first dinosaur seriously scientifically investigated from China, the sauropod Euhelopus zdanski of the early Cretaceous.
