Playmobil’s DINOS line will continue into next year with more spiffy repaints of moulds that date all the way back to 2007.
Velociraptor.
Triceratops.
Spinosaurus.
But wait, here are two brand new dinosaurs! There’s Pachycephalosaurus/Stygimoloch.
And a revamped Brachiosaurus that looks like a major improvement over the old one.
Here’s another of the more exciting additions to Yowie’s Ultimate Dinosaurs series, the Lambeosaurus. I say more exciting because Lambeosaurus is somewhat of a rarity on the toy market, especially in more kid oriented little sets like this. So, at the very least, the addition of this genus into the series helps bring awareness to Lambeosaurus.
The final CollectA reveals for next year have dropped, and they do not disappoint! First up is the massive megaraptoran Maip.
This 1:40 scale Deluxe measures 26 cm long and features a wound on its right shoulder. These are becoming a CollectA trademark.
No confirmation yet as to whether it will have an articulated lower jaw, but that will probably be the case.

Hello! Plenty of people who are passionate about dinosaurs today likely started being so early in their lives. The toy producers at Wing Crown are surely aware of that phenomenon. Their attempts to appeal to the young has resulted in the creation of dinosaur depictions so anthropomorphised, goofy and friendly looking, that a child who understands the concept of food chains might experience cognitive dissonance trying to play with these toys.

Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Well, summer is long over, my list of honey-do’s from the wife is finally just about complete, and today I’m back behind the computer.
Originally, my interest in dinosaur figures was in finding ones that scaled well with 28 mm gaming pieces, for roleplaying games and “war” games, such as Saurian Safari.
Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me this figure to share with the blog.
With the second season of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory having just dropped it seemed like a good time to share one of the show’s starring theropods, the Suchomimus.
Times have been very hard lately, and the smallest gestures are worth living for. I would like to thank Happy Hen Toys for providing me with this interesting specimen, so I could pass the time playing with it, photographing it, and helping me to focus on something less painful.
Here’s a figure I didn’t anticipate adding to the collection, the Entertainment Earth Exclusive, Limited Edition, Funko Pop! Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Brachiosaurus Vinyl Figure! Whew, that was a mouthful. My Jurassic franchise Pop! collection consists of a whopping two figures, the Stygimoloch and Dilophosaurus, which both have reviews here and are the only Funko Pop!
This small outdated ankylosaur model was sold by the Early Learning Centre in the UK in the 1990s. It doesn’t have any brand markings, but I’m reasonably confident it’s an AAA model based on the style and knowing the strong relationship the Early Learning Centre had with AAA.
Finally! A new Gallimimus toy for next year!
This 1:40 scale Deluxe toy strongly resembles a rooster, which is appropriate given that its name means “chicken mimic.”
And yes, it’s mounted on a base just like CollectA’s previous ornithomimosaur toys, but I have no issue whatsoever with that.
