The Cyberzoic Kickstarter is officially over. 1,637 backers contributed an impressive combined total of $608,230 US to bring David Silva’s long dream closer to fruition. Naturally, it will be at least a year before the figures ship, but judging from the images, the wait will be worth it.

News: Upcoming releases from LEGO (New for 2024)
3.8 (13 votes)
Today marks the start of Dinovember and two 2024 sets from LEGO have been revealed!
Baby Dinosaur Rescue Centre. None of these are new moulds, but it’s neat to get this many in one set.
Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull. Now this is a pretty impressive bit of architecture.
News: Upcoming release from REBOR (New for 2023)(Pt. 2)
2.7 (39 votes)
It being Halloween, REBOR has revealed their “Cannibal Corpse” Plain Version Deluxe Pack, a gruesomely zombified version of the Jurassic Park Tyrannosaurus rex, complete with a severed Indominus arm for it to munch on.
Personally, I moved on from the whole zombie craze some years ago, but I’m sure this item will be well-received by many folk.
News: Upcoming releases from Haolonggood (New for 2023)(Pt. 10)
4.4 (26 votes)
Haolonggood’s latest reveal is a double dose of Dilophosaurus! Collectors can choose between a standing or a sitting version, or both.
And naturally, each figure comes in two distinct colour schemes. The brighter coloration of the sitting individual in the first pair could mean that it is a male, similar to how many male birds are more brightly coloured than females.

Two exciting new dinosaurs from PNSO have been announced today! First up is Dapeng the Yangchuanosaurus magnus. This is the fourth figure of the genus to be released by PNSO (the previous one being Dayong the Y. shangyouensis), and their third theropod to feature covered teeth when its mouth is shut!

Well, well, well. This right here could well be the weirdest and funniest prehistoric toy that’s ever been made. Coming to you from Bandai, it’s the Unitrobo Anomalocaris Hot Dog!
This set consists of two components, the first one being a pretty nice-looking Anomalocaris.

Two rather chunky Allosaurus fearlessly take down a helpless Diplodocus! This used to be on display at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
If you’re a big fan of prehistoric dioramas like the vintage one shown above, then how about voting in the DTF Diorama 2023 Contest?

The Kickstarter officially launched as of today and you can find all the relevant information on the website.

Meet Donald. Not only is he PNSO’s second theropod to feature lips, he’s also only the third Saurophaganax toy ever made (CollectA’s was first and REBOR’s was second). Double dandy!

Here are a couple of 2024 Hammond Collection toys that are rather unsurprising, but undoubtedly most welcome to Jurassic World fans of all ages. First up is Owen Grady.
And second is Blue herself. Target has both toys listed for release in April 2024.
News: Upcoming releases from REBOR (New for 2023)

The dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus) is one of the most famous prehistoric mammals, yet unlike the woolly mammoth or the Smilodon, it most certainly doesn’t boast a great many action toys or figurines or statues to its name. REBOR is going to improve that status somewhat with the release of two 1:11 scale versions of the cutthroat canine.
