“We’re living through the golden age of dinosaur discoveries.”
That was the first sentence spoken by the late and great John Hurt in the well-known 2011 BBC series Planet Dinosaur.

Review: Ceratosaurus (Scientific Art Sculpture by PNSO)
4 (33 votes)
Review and photos by Dino Scream3232, edited by Suspsy
Well, here we are in mid-February 2019 and we have much to be grateful for (dinosaur model-wise). PNSO is back in a big way and I do mean big. After almost a year of no communication and the feeling of dread among the community that PNSO was truly done, they finally got the company back on track.
Review: Mr. Dinosaur (Promotional Partners Worldwide or PPW)

Review and photos by Charles Peckham, edited by Suspsy
If you are unfamiliar with the world of Peppa Pig, I can only assume you don’t know a child who is ten or younger. It is a cartoon television program that focuses on the eponymous anthropomorphic pig and her family.
Review: Deinonychus (Carnage Dinosaurs by ReSaurus/Toysmith)

Review and photos by Dino Scream3232 (formerly Apatosaurus3232), edited by Suspsy
Well, this review is long overdue. Suspsy asked me awhile back to do one for the Carnage Collection Deinonychus after I shared some pics of it on my collection page.
Review: Velociraptor (Adventure Force)

Review and photos by Skinny Davenport, edited by Suspsy
Anyone who has heard of Jurassic Park knows what a Velociraptor is. Next to Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops, it is probably one of the most popular dinosaurs out there.
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)
2.1 (15 votes)
Review and photos by Skinny Davenport, edited by Suspsy
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.
Review: Woolly Mammoth (Museum Line by Bullyland)
3.8 (8 votes)
Review and photos by Resurrection of the dinosaurs, edited by Suspsy
As 2018 has ended now, I decided to review a figure from a prehistoric line that seems to have ended too:Â Bullyland. Let me know in the comments section if I am wrong.
Review: Compsognathus (Papo)
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)
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.
Review: Dracorex (Dino Rivals, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)

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.
