Review and images by Frey, edited by Suspsy Introduction Despite launching in early 2026 (with preorders available in late 2025), Nanmu Studio may have already released the most popular Tyrannosaurus rex figure of the year. Creative Beast Studio plans to release their updated T. rex in both 1/18 and 1/35 scales later this year, so that title may change, but for now...
Review and photos by Frey, edited by Suspsy Introduction A large, bipedal theropod with short arms, two‑fingered hands, a deep skull lined with dozens of sharp teeth, and highly developed sensory capabilities—if you guessed a tyrannosaurid, you would be correct. But not a tyrannosaurine. This review focuses on Albertosaurus sarcophagus, the larger of the two recognized albertosaurines. Its species name,...
Review and photographs by Frey, edited by Suspsy Haolonggood’s 2025 Tyrannosaurus rex comes in two variants: model #HLG‑159‑T (note that they also use #HLG‑159 for their Limited Edition Blue Brachiosaurus, differentiated as #HLG‑159‑B, although the boxes in my experience do not show the “B” or “T,” so I wanted to clarify this for fellow collectors who notice such things)...
Review and photographs by Frey, edited by Suspsy. Released in 2023 as part of the now‑concluded Tyrannosaur Series, the Creative Beast Studio Dilong paradoxus stands out as the only 1/6‑scale figure in the entire line. Known from Early Cretaceous deposits in eastern China, Dilong represents the earliest definitive evidence of feathers in tyrannosaurs, making its inclusion in the series both...
Review by Paleo Flo, edited by DinoToyBlog. When it comes to dinosaur figures and models we are actually living in some kind of wonderland. There are so many companies which all produce wonderful offerings of the animals from deep time. As a dinosaur enthusiast you have the trouble of choosing. In recent years two companies became the greatest players in...
Review and photographs by Noideaforaname, edited by Suspsy The Transformers brand is no stranger to dinosaurs, much less Tyrannosaurus rex, but while Cybertronian saurians have traditionally been mechanical and occasionally organic, the Kingdom toyline introduced something new: fossils! The aptly-named Fossilizers are modular in nature and need to be taken apart and rebuilt to change forms. Ostensibly, this is to...
Review and images by Henry, age 12, edited by Suspsy Gallimimus was a large ornithomimid from the Campanian and Maastrichtian of the Nemegt Formation in Mongolia and coexisted with a large array of popular fauna such as Tarbosaurus, Therizinosaurus, and Deinocheirus, as well as lesser known ones like Barsboldia, Tarchia, and Adasaurus. It was described in 1972 and remained in...
Review and photographs by Henry, age 12, edited by Suspsy Camarasaurus was a basal macronarian that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic. Although there have been quite a few figures of it over the years (and most have been incredible), there are few that are as impressive as Haolonggood’s 2024 take. I was originally planning to get PNSO’s...
Written by Primeval12 and crazy8wizard. Photos by Primeval12. Edited by Suspsy Hey, welcome everyone to our review here on the Dinosaur Toy Blog. And I’m just gonna be honest: this is a doozy. Today, crazy8wizard and I will be reviewing Papo’s infamous Protoceratops from their 2022 wave. Wizard helped me review the animal from a scientific perspective and I reviewed...
Review and Photographs by MonkeyRascal, edited by Suspsy For a very long time, LEGO dinosaur collectors have lemented the lack of a Spinosaurus. That is, before the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth. However, many of them are not aware, (or rather, choose to forget) that LEGO has actually produced not one, but three Spinosaurus, and the first two were both...
Review and photographs by Noideaforaname, edited by Suspsy The Lost World: Jurassic Park is my favorite of the series thanks in no small part for its portrayal of Tyrannosaurus rex as both savage predators and caring parents, and I have been hoping for a Hammond Collection “Buck” ever since the release of “Rexy” and “Junior.” In 2023, Mattel offered the...
Review and photos by PrehistoryResurrection, edited by Suspsy Today we will be taking a look at a new Jurassic World line which I believe has not yet been covered on the blog, as well as a new type of figure, which is an articulated stop motion type. The line is called “WOW! STUFF,” which I did not know about...
