Review: Tasmaniosaurus (Lost Kingdoms Series A by Yowie)
When most will think of extinct animals on the islands of Tasmania, they will think of the Thylacine.

Review: Tawa (Conquering the Earth by Schleich)
The kinds of dinosaur toy fans who care about accuracy and realism tend to find Schleich frustrating, perhaps because Schleich has, at the very least, the technical capacity to make outstanding figures. For example, their recent Kentrosaurus was a solid effort, but in the same year as a good figure like that they’ll release arrestingly ugly toys.

Review: Z-Cardz Dinosaurs Series 1 (California Creations)
A relic of toy trends from the 2000s, these cheap assembled models make for a decent little novelty item, as long as you’re delicate with them.
I’ve never been much of a “card” collector, so I’ve never followed the hobby closely, but I do recall a time in the early 2000s when 3D card models like Z-Cardz and Star Wars Pocketmodels became all the rage, at least within my own friend circles.
