They include a few Cenozoic mammals and the model we’re looking at today, a Sarcosuchus. Sarcosuchus is an early Cretaceous crocodyliform that superficially…
If there’s one thing that young prehistory fans enjoy, it’s randomly pitting their toys against one another in savage battles, geography and time be blowed.

Mattel has released many colossal sauropods by now, but the most common one is, of course, Brachiosaurus. Their latest one is for the Jurassic World Reimagined series. This one is based on the version from Jurassic Park 3, and is easily the most colourful yet. And just as massive as…
