CollectA has emerged as one of the most prolific producers of dinosaur figures, with a few other Mesozoic reptiles and some mammals here and there for variety. They’ve developed a reputation for giving some obscure species the plastic treatment, but in general those species have been fairly close relatives of the old standards.
Age: Jurassic
Review: Prehistoric Plants (Safari Ltd)
Plants and trees may not be a collector’s first choice of models to collect, and not only because there’s so few around. In general, humans feel more attracted to animals than towards plants despite the fact that we could still live well without keeping or even breeding (and feeding on) animals, but not without plants.

Review: Prehistoric Tube A (CollectA)
Review: Prehistoric Tube B (CollectA)
Review: Prehistoric Tube C (CollectA)
Since they first started producing tube sets back in 2015, CollectA has covered a pretty decent variety of prehistoric life, wild animals, sea creatures, and farm stock. In 2021, they went back to the beginning with a third dinosaur (mostly) set consisting of ten figures, all based on previously released toys.
Review: Proceratosaurus (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)
Proceratosaurus was a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Middle Jurassic in England. It is one of the earliest known members of the Tyrannosauroidea clade, which contains Tyrannosaurus rex and its ancestors.
Review: Proceratosaurus (Beasts of the Mesozoic Tyrannosaur series by Creative Beast Studios)
Proceratosaurus. “Before Ceratosaurus“. I remember when I first laid eyes on the exquisitely preserved jaws of this animal, found in England from the rocks of the mid Jurassic. The picture was in most dinosaur books throughout the 80’s and 90’s, accompanied by a somewhat vague description usually saying that it looked like Ceratosaurus and Ornitholestes due to the nasal horns (in the case of Ornitholestes, the nasal horn never existed, as the fossil skull was somewhat warped).
Review: Proceratosaurus (CollectA)
CollectA, the master of obscure dinosaur toys, reached in to their menagerie of extinct animals and choose to produce a truly interesting Proceratosaurus. The identity shifting Proceratosaurus received its name due to it originally being thought as an ancestor of Ceratosaurus due to its nasal crest.
Review: Proceratosaurus (Jurassic World Attack Pack, by Mattel)
Edited by Dinotoyblog.
With an awful lot of Jurassic World toys being released from Mattel for 2019, I thought it would be wise to cover one of the 2018 toys that have been neglected from review so far. The subject of today’s review is this cartoonish little theropod that Mattel has dubbed a Proceratosaurus.
