Thraex is becoming exasperated. How much longer can he endure this torment, this agony? With every step, with every second, it gets worse and worse. He was right here in this very forest only yesterday, but today he cannot seem to retrace his steps.
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.
Review: Yangchuanosaurus (Dayong)(PNSO)
5 (3 votes)
During the Middle and Late Jurassic, the largest predatory dinosaur in China was the fearsome metriacanthosaurid Yangchuanosaurus. Indeed, it is one of China’s most famous and popular dinosaurs, reflected by the fact that PNSO has made no less than four toys of it.
Review: Camarasaurus (Njor) (Prehistoric Animal Models by PNSO)

Most collectors set limitations on themselves. They only collect a certain scale, one of each species, certain animal groups, certain brands, etc. With how spoiled for choice we’ve become this makes sense, very few collectors have the luxury of buying and displaying everything, we need these self-imposed rules to assure we remain responsible collectors.
Review: Ankylosaurus (Eofauna)

The mating season has come around once again. The bees are buzzing, the birds are chirping, and Clock is positively champing at the bit. For days, he roamed the bluffs in a fruitless search for a female. He failed to mate at all last season and his increasing desperation has now driven him to descend deep into the forest.
Review: Spinosaurus (Mesozoic Life Project)

Dawn breaks across the Egyptian marsh. Rays of sunlight begin piercing the treeline, and Ramses stirs as the warmth of the rays tickle the arch of his sail, working their way down his flanks. His six-foot long, toothy jaws open wide in a yawn, and he begins stretching his muscles, readying his body for a new day of activity.
Review: Baryonyx (Maxim) (Prehistoric Animal Models by PNSO

My thanks goes to the good folks at Happy Hen Toys for providing a review sample for this review. Despite its history and the significance of its discovery, I never had much Baryonyx in my collection growing up. Although Baryonyx has had a presence in the toy market since the late 1980s, for a long time that presence seemed pretty sparse.
Review: Tyrannosaurus (Osborne) (Recur)

According to my DinoToyCollector profile I have 38 Tyrannosaurus rex figures in my collection, and I know that’s not all of them. Like many collectors, Tyrannosaurus is probably the last dinosaur I need more of on my shelves, and yet I keep getting more.
Review: Megalosaurus (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)
5 (6 votes)
I got into the dinosaur collecting hobby around 2010, and from then until 2023 the 1974 Invicta Megalosaurus stood as the sole representative of the first dinosaur described by science in my collection. For shame! But 2023 saw the release of the PNSO Megalosaurus and my thirst for a modern figure of this important animal was quenched.
Review: Carnotaurus (Haolonggood)
4.6 (5 votes)
I was fond of the South American abelisaur known as Carnotaurus from the moment I learned about it back in the late 1980s. And really, who wouldn’t be? With its short, boxy skull, prominent pointed horns, and almost preposterously puny arms, it is easily one of the weirdest-looking theropods, and thus one of the coolest.
Review: Columbian Mammoth (Eofauna)
5 (8 votes)
About 1.5 million years ago, a population of steppe mammoths (Mammuthus trogontherii) entered North America from Siberia via the Bering Strait. As they migrated south into the warmer regions of the United States and Mexico, they soon gave rise to a new mammoth species, M.

Furcatoceratops is a recently discovered centrosaurine ceratopsid from Montana’s Judith River Formation. The holotype specimen is an 80% complete subadult that includes much of the skull, both the left front and hind legs, parts of the pelvis, and a good many vertebrae and ribs.
