Review: Dakotaraptor (Dinosaurs in the Wild by IVS Group Ltd.)

4.5 (4 votes)

Review and photos by Patrx

The publication of Dakotaraptor steini by DePalma et al. in 2015 was a pretty exciting thing. Dakotaraptor is a large (about five and one-half metres long) dromaeosaurine from the well-studied Hell Creek formation of North America.

Review: Allosaurus (2018 Version)(Nature World by Boley)

Wow. I saw this figure at Walmart the other day and after some of the comments I’ve received about Boley’s Nature World dinosaurs being “Chinasaurs,” I just had to review some of these new releases for 2018, which are MUCH more accurate.This is a marked improvement on the old Boley Allosaurus, which, although appealing, was riddled with inaccuracies.

As 2018 has ended now, I decided to review a figure from a prehistoric line that seems to have ended too: Bullyland. Let me know in the comments section if I am wrong.

Review: Compsognathus (Papo)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

4.1 (16 votes)

Review and photos by James Burnside, edited by Suspsy

Though the Procompsognathus had already made its mark on the original Jurassic Park novel, the unassuming ‘Compy’ only truly first scampered into the public conscious in a big way in 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park in which it is depicted as a deceptively cute, harmless, and even playful critter right up until it overwhelms its unsuspecting prey with sheer numbers.

Review: Ankylosaurus (Roarivores)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)

3.5 (12 votes)

Review and photographs by Loon, edited by Suspsy  

In 2001, “cinematic genius” Joe Johnston introduced Ankylosaurus to the Jurassic Park film franchise in one of the worst scene transitions in the series (remember, this is the same franchise that thought going from a screaming mother to a yawning Jeff Goldblum was a good idea).

Review: Carnotaurus (1/56 Scale Resin Figure by Prey Collection Studios)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

2.4 (5 votes)

Review and photos by Levi Rawl, edited by Suspsy

This is the first unpainted resin model kit that I have purchased since I started collecting prehistoric figures. I will start off by saying that Carnotaurus was never really one of my favorite theropods.

Edited by Dinotoyblog

Every now and again the Dinosaur Toy Blog receives independent reviews of the same toy within hours of each other. And so, in the generous spirit of the season, here is a rare special double-bill review by two guest reviewers, Loon and Carnosaur, who both have something to say about the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Dracorex by Mattel.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Unknown Company)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

4.9 (55 votes)

Review and photos by Philsauria, edited by Suspsy

Tyrannosaurus rex is without a doubt one iconic animal, one of the handful of dinosaurs that most of the general public can identify on sight, and as far as prehistoric animal toys are concerned, there wouldn’t be too many making dinosaurs that didn’t have this guy in their lineup.

Review: Spinosaurus (Animal Adventure/ANIA by Takara Tomy)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

3.2 (13 votes)

Review and photos by Charles Peckham, edited by Suspsy

Depictions of Spinosaurus have undergone massive changes since Nizar Ibrahim published his famous 2014 reconstruction. It’s a fairly popular dinosaur and it has many toys available, but almost all of them show a bipedal animal with a half circle-shaped sail on its back.

Review: Odontochelys (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)

Review and photographs by stemturtle, edited by Suspsy
Odontochelys semitestacea was a Triassic stem turtle whose fossils from 220 mya were found in Guizhou, China. It is the testudine equivalent of Archaeopteryx, transitional between Pappochelys and Proganochelys.

Review: Styracosaurus (2019)(Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)

Genus: Brand: , Classification: , Age: Type:

4.7 (31 votes)
Review and photographs by Jose Carlos Salas (Jose_S.M.), edited by Suspsy
Safari Ltd has a history of delivering great ceratopsid sculpts almost every year, so much so that it’s kind of an annual tradition and 2019 is no exception. This time, they’ve made one of the better known ones for the general public: Styracosaurus.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Aurora World)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

4.8 (12 votes)
Review and photos by Bryan Divers, edited by Suspsy
The Tyrannosaurus rex, which is easily recognizable with its large head, short neck, small arms, and bipedal stance, is my personal favourite dinosaur. This medium-sized plush toy made by Aurora World is a brightly coloured rendition, and very soft.
