Playmobil’s DINOS line will continue into next year with more spiffy repaints of moulds that date all the way back to 2007.
Velociraptor.
Triceratops.
Spinosaurus.
But wait, here are two brand new dinosaurs! There’s Pachycephalosaurus/Stygimoloch.
And a revamped Brachiosaurus that looks like a major improvement over the old one.
The final CollectA reveals for next year have dropped, and they do not disappoint! First up is the massive megaraptoran Maip.
This 1:40 scale Deluxe measures 26 cm long and features a wound on its right shoulder. These are becoming a CollectA trademark.
No confirmation yet as to whether it will have an articulated lower jaw, but that will probably be the case.

Hello! Plenty of people who are passionate about dinosaurs today likely started being so early in their lives. The toy producers at Wing Crown are surely aware of that phenomenon. Their attempts to appeal to the young has resulted in the creation of dinosaur depictions so anthropomorphised, goofy and friendly looking, that a child who understands the concept of food chains might experience cognitive dissonance trying to play with these toys.

Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Well, summer is long over, my list of honey-do’s from the wife is finally just about complete, and today I’m back behind the computer.
Originally, my interest in dinosaur figures was in finding ones that scaled well with 28 mm gaming pieces, for roleplaying games and “war” games, such as Saurian Safari.
Mojo Fun has revealed a new prehistoric toy for next year: the Middle Jurassic plesiosaur Cryptoclidus.
Despite having appeared in the BBC Walking With Dinosaurs series back in 1999, Cryptoclidus has never gotten a toy from any of the major companies until now.
CollectA’s first two reveals for next year are most exciting indeed! Feast your eyes on the very first toy of Furcatoceratops!
And look, no more filaments on the hindquarters! This ceratopsian will be part of the Popular series.
And here’s the Deluxe 1:20 scale Jaekelopterus, biggest of all known arthropods!
First off, sorry for the image quality, I’ll replace them as soon as better ones become available, but wowsa! Mattel sure has some rare and unusual genera in store for us next year!
Hypsilophodon. Been a very long time since this little herbivore got a toy.
Here’s yet another addition to the popular Hammond Collection: the “Ghost” Atrociraptor.
And here’s the Roar Command Tyrannosaurus rex. According to the packaging, you’ll be able to record your own roaring sounds and then have the toy play it back. Sounds like it could be fun!
