In spite of the discoveries since Starlux closed down, I feel that the old line could be fantastically varied in comparison to some modern line, producing vast numbers of species, not just familiar dinosaurs, but those that existed alongside them. Here, for example, the giant amphibian Mastodonsaurus from the late Triassic, which reached lengths of 13-20 feet long.

Review: Plateosaurus (DinoWaurs Survival)

Greetings DinoWaurriors! I imagine it’s very easy for creators of toy lines to stick to the Jurassic and Cretaceous period dinosaurs for their line, as this is where many were at their biggest and strangest. Let’s not forget, however, that the Triassic saw the rise of these animals, and have interesting species that began this dynasty.
Review: Redondasaurus vs. Coelophysis (Favorite Co. Ltd.)

Morning sun rises over the Pangean plains of the Late Triassic. The wet season has just ended, and it is a time of plenty for herbivores across the scrub land. This means the predators do well too. A lone Coelophysis wonders the land, searching for water to wash down a recent meal.

Traditional pose
Postosuchus, meaning “Crocodile from Post“, is an extinct genus of rauisuchid reptiles comprising two species, P. kirkpatricki and P. alisonae, that lived in what is
now North America during the Late Triassic. Its name refers to Post Quarry, a place
in Texas where many fossils of the type species, P.

EU government could still not agree on aborting the change to summer time, so this very day is an hour longer and so gives me some time to wirte another review after quite a long break…..
Today we gonna take a look on a probably not very popular figure, though the species is known by anyone who ever had a look into a dinosaur book.

In 2014, a group of Chinese paleontologists working in Yunnan Province discovered a near complete skeleton of Atopodentatus, a new genus (and likely, lineage) of Sauropterygia (the main group of Mesozoic marine reptiles) with an odd and somewhat creepy skull unlike that of any other known vertebrate.
Review: Lufengosaurus (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)

Review and images by PhilSauria, edited by Suspsy
Lufengosaurus, at least as realised by the sculptors and designers at PNSO, does not embody the typical image of a sauropod. It is no towering beast with head held aloft at the end of a long neck, standing or striding along on four long pillar-like legs, though its stablemate, the massive Huanghetitan does fit that description admirably!
Review: Herrerasaurus (Attack Pack)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
3.1 (15 votes)
One of the earliest known dinosaurs is Herrerasaurus, a denizen of Triassic South America more than 230 million years ago. Although it was clearly a carnivore, there has been much debate over which family of archosaurs it should be placed in.

Odontochelys semitestacea was a Triassic stem turtle whose fossils from 220 mya were found in Guizhou, China. It is the testudine equivalent of Archaeopteryx, transitional between Pappochelys and Proganochelys.

Apart from the ever-famous Plesiosauria, the superorder Sauropterygia also contains a significant number of lesser-known taxa. Despite the diverse morphology of these reptiles, they are pretty rarely represented as toy figures. Thankfully, PNSO has made a (relatively speaking) sizeable number of these oddballs for their line of minis, including a Glyphoderma in 2016, and this year, an Atopodentatus and the subject of this review: a Keichousaurus.

Summer melts us here since weeks, so time for another wet review….
Today I want you to introduce you to one of those creatures everybody knows, but knows almost nothing about, a jellyfish. Jellyfish are a very very old group of animals, they date back to the famous Ediacarian, more than 600 mya.
Review: Coelophysis (MIXVS MINIMAX)

Time has come to introduce you to another gorgeous (and gory) model by our forum member MIXVS MINIMAX, the all time favorite Triassic theropod Coelophysis. As with all of the models in this line, the figures are scaled to 1:72, rendering this comparably small dinosaur a tiny gem that could fit onto a stamp.
