Although another Triceratops is probably the last thing any of us need in our collections (certainly mine) this one from Yowie Group is decent enough to deserve some time in the spotlight on the Dinosaur Toy Blog. It comes from Yowie Groups Ultimate Dinosaur series which is currently available in various shop across the United States.

We’re coming even closer to the end, but Haolonggood still has something to squeeze out! Meet the Styracosaurus pair of Chen Da and Hou Jian!
Compared to previously released ceratopsians, the colours on these two are much more muted. I’m not yet sure which one I’ll go with.

Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me a large selection of Captivz figures to share with the blog.
Since I just wrote reviews for a Mapusaurus and Tyrannotitan I thought it would be fitting to review another carcharodontosaurid and look at the Captivz Giganotosaurus by ToyMonster.

Papo’s had their ups and downs in recent years, with some toys still being pretty darned good and others being pretty darned bad, if we’re being brutally honest. But it looks like we’re in luck for next year!
Anhanguera. This appears to be a digital model as opposed to a physical toy, but it looks very promising.

Review: Tyrannotitan (Mateo) (Prehistoric Animal Models by PNSO)
4.6 (30 votes)
Carcharodontosaurid-heads have had a lot to celebrate since PNSO hit the scene. The company has produced 6 members of the clade and most of them within the last couple of years. This has allowed fans of these mega theropods to amass a high-end collection of all the clade’s major players, and unlike other dinosaur groups, PNSO has given each an attractive and visually distinct paintjob.

Continuing with our overview of the 7 inch Cartoon Series by Wing Crown, Stegosaurus is next in line. Like the others in the series, this is simplified in its ‘early tetrapod’, just-walked-out-from-the-water form, with no anatomical intricacies to be found beyond the obligatory plates and tail spikes.

Having recently set the scene for Wing Crown’s Cartoon Series in our introductory review, let’s now take a brief look at another of the figures in the 7 inch dinosaurs set. Parasaurolophus is next on the list, now in some nice warm colors, reminiscent of a sunset sky.
Review: Mapusaurus (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, Epic Evolution Gigantic Trackers by Mattel)
3.2 (19 votes)
Mapusaurus is a carcharodontosaurid that lived in Argentina during the late Cretaceous and is also one of the largest theropods known. It was only slightly smaller than its close relative, Giganotosaurus, and the skeletal differences between them are minimal.

Here is the painted prototype of the 1/18 scale Smilodon for Creative Beast Studio’s Beasts of the Cenozoic line.
The colour scheme is clearly inspired by the African lion.
While considerably smaller than the 1/12 scale version intended for the Cyberzoic line, it is just as detailed and still comes with an alternative head.
