Psittacosaurus (Beasts of the Mesozoic 1:18 by Creative Beast Studio)
…of my new favorites in the Beasts of the Mesozoic line. While fans of the “Beasts of the Mesozoic” articulated action figure line eagerly await the release of the formidable Tyrannosaur series, Creative Beast Studios founder David Silva has provided another treat for collectors in the form of six re-scaled genera from the prior two “Beasts” series. Originally released in 1:6 scale, these new 1:18 versions allow for collectors to display their coll…
Zuniceratops (Beasts of the Mesozoic: Ceratopsian Series by Creative Beast Studio)
…t in late 2020, courtesy of David Silva’s Beasts of the Mesozoic line. The Beasts of the Mesozoic action figure series has been something of a dream come true for collectors, as well as for David Silva himself. Silva is an experienced toy designer who has produced figures for the likes of Hasbro and NECA in the past; he also runs his own company at Creative Beast Studios. Scientifically-accurate, highly-articulated dinosaur figures are niche in th…
Medusaceratops (‘Fan’s Choice’ version, Beasts of the Mesozoic Ceratopsian Series by Creative Beast Studio)
…Creative Beast Studio website), and like most of the other figures in the Beasts of the Mesozoic Ceratopsian Series, is intended to be 1/18 in scale. The brow horns, and nasal boss seem similar to the reconstruction in the original 2010 paper by Donna Sloan, in which the paper mentions was based on holotype specimen WDC-DJR-001, and other “chasmosaurine” material from the bonebed, now considered to belong to Medusaceratops per the 2017 paper. The…
Triceratops (Subadult) (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…Sub-Adult Triceratops was released as figurine no. 03 of wave 1, from the Beasts of the Mesozoic Ceratopsian Series. The package is the standard, fairly high-quality design seen for the line, constructed of sturdy cardboard with a large product window. The window may be prone to warping. An extra card sleeve is taped over one end of the box, featuring the series name, genus, and fact files, decorated by splendid artwork by collaborator Paul Ramos…
Protoceratops andrewsi (Beasts of the Mesozoic 1:18 by Creative Beast Studio)
…. For the past several years, Silva has been keeping himself busy with the Beasts of the Mesozoic series, which is an action figure line dedicated to scientifically accurate dinosaurs (and other extinct life). While the line has featured a variety of scales for its dinosaurs so far, the 1:18 range is becoming the predominant scale for the larger genera in the line. The new 2022 miniatures – including Protoceratops alongside a handful of other resi…
Pentaceratops Beasts of the Mesozoic
…ve, the biggest in comparison to its body size of all of the Beasts of the Mesozoic ceratopsians figures, mirroring the real life animal, which, along with the similar but more derived Titanoceratops, has the biggest head relative to the body of any land animal thanks to its elongated face, and long frill. Only Torosaurus beats it, and that is because Torosaurus was a bigger animal. Well, fine, there is a debate of which animal had the bigged head…
Spiclypeus (Beasts of the Mesozoic: Ceratopsian Series by Creative Beast Studio)
…ware that these BotM figures are anything but cheap. The Spiclypeus retails for $49.99 US on Creative Beast’s website as well as Dan’s Dinosaurs, and again, it’s one of the smaller ceratopsians in the series. But as long as you’re fine with all that, then I highly recommend this fantastic beast of the Mesozoic era!…
Styracosaurus (Beasts of the Mesozoic: Ceratopsian Series by Creative Beast Studio)
…ctors, the future is now. The long-awaited first wave of ceratopsians from Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studios has arrived. There were some delays due to the unfortunate event that is the current pandemic, but our wait was worth it. These ceratopsians are absolutely glorious. Today I shall be telling you of the beauty that is Styracosaurus. Glorious. Simply glorious. I was unprepared at how huge this figure is! I could calculate it by…
Pachyrhinosaurus (Beasts of the Mesozoic)
…s) Spring 2021 saw the arrival of the second wave of ceratopsians from the Beasts of the Mesozoic series. Fans of Dave Silva’s crowdfunded line of articulated figures will already be familiar with the basic elements that define this series. These strikingly colorful figures have a tremendous range of poseability thanks to their intricately engineered design (which may have the added benefit of making them more difficult for bootleggers to imitate)…
Utahceratops (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…ontemporaries Kosmoceratops and Nasutoceratops, and many of the other BotM ceratopsians. The only ones with a body mould bigger than this one are the Torosaurus and the adult Triceratops. It only just manages to squeeze into the area dedicated to ceratopsians in my display case, and is now the biggest of all denizens dwelling behind those glass doors (although bigger ones reside on top of the cabinet). Also quite hefty to boot. You know, I serious…
Triceratops (1:18 Scale)(Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…Welcome to my first DTB review in which I’ll be covering the Beasts of the Mesozoic adult Triceratops horridus by Creative Beast Studio! Triceratops is one of the most iconic and recognizable dinosaurs of all time, and also one of a small number of dinosaurs that the general public can name off the top of their heads. It has been featured in numerous media, including films like One Million Years B.C, the Jurassic Park franchise, and the Land Befor…
Tyrannosaurus rex (1/18 Scale Kickstarter Exclusive)(Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…all, and 9 cm wide at his rib cage. He is the biggest beast out of all the Beasts of the Mesozoic to date. As you’ll see a bit further down, he easily dwarfs most of the other T. rex figures in my collection. And he’s definitely the heaviest out of all of them, weighing in at a massive 3.83 lbs/1736 g. Have to say, when I began to seriously collect dinosaur figures almost 20 years ago, I never would have imagined then that I’d someday end up with…
Psittacosaurus (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…mperorDinobot, edited by Suspsy Hello and welcome to another Beasts of the Mesozoic review by me, Emperor Dinobot! Today we shall be looking at the long awaited and exquisite 1/6 scale Psittacosaurus mongoliensis! The truth is, I have been meaning to do this review since 2020, but better late than ever, especially for a worthwhile dinosaur figure such as this one! So now let us look at the most species rich genus of dinosaur, and one of the most w…

…estlings as well. The newer version of this figure is now in stock in the shop on the Creative Beast Studio website, if not other retailers such as Big Bad Toy Store, Everything Dinosaur, and MiniZoo. Readers of this review might also want to take note that the next Beasts of the Mesozoic Kickstarter campaign will feature ceratopsians in 1/18th scale (such as Styracosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Xenoceratops, etc), and is expected to start September 1…
Yutyrannus (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…entioning that Dilong, Psittacosaurus, and Zhenyuanlong have also received Beasts of the Mesozoic figures in 1/6 scale, and in the case of Psittacosaurus, also in 1/18 scale. I hope the Dilong and Zhenyuanlong can receive the 1/18 scale treatment some day, as they would display nicely alongside this Yutyrannus, since again there is a possibility they might have coexisted with it. The PNSO Little Dinosaurs Sinosauropteryx might also be of interest,…
Einiosaurus (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…aking merry as we delve deeper into the godsend that are the Beasts of the Mesozoic ceratopsians line! Allow me, EmperorDinobot, to be your host as we look at the bison lizard, Einiosaurus, and what makes it more special than the others, not that the others are not special, of course. Let us have a look! I did not feel like taking a picture of the figure in the package; I was in too much of a rush to bring it out into the world! The packaging is a…
Tyrannosaurus rex (1/35 Scale Kickstarter Exclusive)(Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…movement of the head and neck goes, especially when compared to the prior ceratopsians and raptors (or the Guanlong). Another issue is that I seem to be having some trouble getting the steel rods on the base to go in all the way on the feet. I’m not sure if that’s intended, or if it is a minor design flaw, but worth mentioning in any case. As a result, the figure’s feet might hover slightly above the base. A further minor drawback is that due to…

…tor. But at least I got the credits, which are almost always the same. All ceratopsians come with a card though, and I apologize for the bad picture you are about to see. Note to self: Scan these. I have one of those “magical scanner wands” so there is no excuse. The beautiful art for this figure was made by Master Raul Ramos.

Centrosaurus apertus (Beasts of the Mesozoic)
…s have brought this near forgotten species to the forefront. Beasts of the Mesozoic leads this by creating three, two juveniles and an adult. I have done the youngsters, now for the adult. First thing to say is this is a big bestie! As a 1:18 scale model, it us understandably big. The real animal was 18 ft long, so a figure measuring 16.4″ long and 7.4″ high. Next to other models, such as Vic, who is 4″ high, it does dwarf them, though not as much…
