For this year’s San Diego Comic Con, Mattel is releasing the Tyrannosaurus rex Convention Crasher set. The outer box is styled to look like an old television set, broadcasting a familiar breaking story.
The inner box is styled to look like a convention centre, with frightened attendees streaming out the exit.
Torosaurus is a huge and awesome ceratopsid and this pair from Haolonggood do a great job reflecting that.
I reckon I’m going with the red version myself.
Well, that sure was quick! Here’s the next PNSO reveal, Huigi the “Hongkongosaurus.” It’s PNSO’s unofficial name for a fragmentary sauropod discovered in Hong Kong. This toy’s launch is being promoted through crowdfunding with an estimated release date of August.
I wonder what its official genus name will end up being.
Youran the Guizhouichthyosaurus is the first marine reptile from PNSO in quite a long time!
The colours are attractive, especially that yellow stripe. Very reminiscent of a common dolphin.
The fine folks at Everything Dinosaur have officially revealed a brand spanking new range of prehistoric figures!
Done in collaboration with paleontologist Dean Lomax, paleoartist Bob Nicholls, and digital designer Glen Southern, Evolution will offer 1:33 scale animals that strive to be as scientifically accurate as possible.

Finally, to round up the 7 inch ‘Cartoon Series’ by Wing Crown, here is the Tyrannosaurus, without which no set of dinosaur toys would be complete. And also, to conclude my overview of the 7 inch series, at the end I will take a brief look at some of the many other sizes, variants, and styles of figures in the Wing Crown ‘family’.
Everything Dinosaur, one of the very best websites for prehistoric toys, has teased something very special for next week!
What could it be? Tune in next week at 3pm BST, 4pm CET, and 10am EST to find out!
These two representations of the Asian sauropod Euhelopus ought to make collectors sit up and take notice.
Their relatively small size means they’ll cost much less and take up less display space than Haolonggood’s previous sauropods.

My overview of Wing Crown’s 7 inch ‘Cartoon Series’ continues with their Triceratops. This is definitely my least favourite in the set and I think the ‘cartoonification’ went a little too far.
Lots of neat stuff for the ANIA line this year. First here’s the non-Jurassic World items, each with information cards printed in Japanese and English:
Archaeopteryx. Always nice to see one.
Tyrannomimus, an ornithomimosaurian from Japan. I think this might be the very first toy of it.

With the influx of Spinosaurus toys from Mattel following the species’ reintroduction to the silver screen in Jurassic World: Rebirth it’s hard to keep track of all the bits and pieces produced of the T.
And still the Jurassic World reveals keep coming. Here are four additions to the electronic Wild Roar series.
Abelisaurus. That’s quite the dewlap there.
Ankylosaurus. Early reports said this was Euoplocephalus, but perhaps that one will turn up next year?
