In my last Takara Tomy review, I covered the ANIA Styracosaurus, the 17th figure in the AL line and a decent, but admittedly somewhat drab-looking rendition of the horned dinosaur. As if in full awareness of the latter fact, Takara Tomy’s 18th figurine of the AL line features a striking contrast in the elegant and brightly colored Parasaurolophus, the first ornithopod dinosaur featured in the series.

Review: Edmontonia (Jurassic World: Rebirth, Frenzy Pack by Mattel)

A new Jurassic World movie is on the horizon and regardless of how you feel about the Jurassic franchise it means we’ll be getting a new lineup of toys to accompany it. And what a lineup it is! The Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Mosasaurus have all been given a fresh makeover.
Review: Therizinosaurus (Jurassic World Hammond Collection, by Mattel)
4.7 (3 votes)
Only two years after it showed up in Jurassic World Dominion, the fan favorite Therizinosaurus finally joined Mattel’s Hammond Collection line of highly articulated action figures last year. I’ll be straight to the point in saying that this is easily one of my top favorites in the line, and I think one of the best in terms of articulation, and screen likeness.
Review: Iguanodon and Skorpiovenator (Jurassic World: Roarin’ Battle Pack by Mattel)

I initially wasn’t planning on acquiring either the Mattel Iguanodon or Skorpiovenator for my children’s dinosaur collection, but back in February 2024, Amazon Canada put the Roarin’ Battle Pack on sale for $26.94, which in this country is three dollars less than the retail price of a single toy in the Roarivores/Roar Strikers/Wild Roar size category.

It’s Jurassic June! And this year I’m only reviewing Jurassic Park (and World) merchandise during this holiest of months for Jurassic fans. Yes, I know we review Jurassic stuff all year long, but I haven’t reviewed anything Jurassic for two months so I’m excited to get back into it for this special occasion.
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.

“Hello, my fellow dinosaur lovers. Dr. Bella Bricking here once again, as well as the indispensable Beth Buildit. As always, we are happy and proud to be here. Happy National Dinosaur Day and Happy Pride Month!”

Review: Austroraptor (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)

While companies like PNSO and Haolonggood might be in vogue these days there are some niches that are still dominated by the old standbys. In the case of dromaeosaurs, Safari is the only company that’s consistently delivering accurate figures of our favorite maniraptoriformes.

Finally, to round up the 7 inch ‘Cartoon Series’ by Wing Crown, here is the Tyrannosaurus, without which no set of dinosaur toys would be complete. And also, to conclude my overview of the 7 inch series, at the end I will take a brief look at some of the many other sizes, variants, and styles of figures in the Wing Crown ‘family’.

My overview of Wing Crown’s 7 inch ‘Cartoon Series’ continues with their Triceratops. This is definitely my least favourite in the set and I think the ‘cartoonification’ went a little too far.

Well, with yet another Jurassic World movie coming out this summer, I figured I had better review this toy now rather than later. Yes, it’s another of the many Tyrannosaurus rex variants that Mattel has churned out since 2018.

With the influx of Spinosaurus toys from Mattel following the species’ reintroduction to the silver screen in Jurassic World: Rebirth it’s hard to keep track of all the bits and pieces produced of the T.
