No childhood collection of dinosaurs is complete without a large sauropod, and Tyco’s Diplodocus certainly fit the bill during the late 80’s. Originally sold among the Dino-Riders toy line as Diplodocus, it would later be remarketed under the Smithsonian line as Apatosaurus.

Pictures and review by apatosaurus3232, edited by Suspsy
Hello, everyone. This is my first review on the Dinosaur Toy Blog. Today I’ll be discussing something that has been quite the talk on the forum. The Vitae Giganotosaurus carolinii standard edition. Vitae is a new Chinese company with lots of models in the works.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Extreme Chompin’)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)

Review and Photographs by Dilopho, edited by Suspsy
The Tyrannosaurus rex is the undisputed face of the Jurassic Park franchise. As such, almost every JP toyline has had one to offer, and Mattel’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is no exception, with three main T.
Review: Mosasaurus (Real-Feel)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)

Review and Photographs by Cretaceous Crab, edited by Suspsy
To paraphrase the character Gray’s signature catchphrase, “We need more teeth!” Following Hasbro’s lackluster attempt with Jurassic World‘s prehistoric marine monster, dinosaur toy collectors of all ages agreed that, “We need a better Mosasaurus toy!”

As we have already seen in previous reviews, Mattel has vastly succeeded where Hasbro failed.

This isn’t your normal Tyrannosaurus rex. This isn’t a huge T. rex, a giant T. rex or a extra-large T. rex. This is the Super COLOSSAL Tyrannosaurus rex!

Review: Velociraptor “Snapjaw” (Electronic Version)(The Lost World: Jurassic Park by Kenner)

Review and photographs by Paleona, edited by Suspsy
With Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom just around the corner, I’m sure a lot of us are feeling the JP hype and nostalgia again pretty strongly. Today I’d like to take a look back at one of the finest toys from the Lost World line of toys: the electronic Velociraptor!

Review: Indoraptor (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
3.6 (19 votes)
Review and Photographs by Cretaceous Crab, edited by Suspsy
For those living under a rock, the “Indoraptor” is the primary antagonist creature in the upcoming film Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Like its predecessor, the Indominus rex from the previous film, this creature is a genetically-engineered hybrid, and while the base genome is (presumably) a dromeaosaur, it is not a representation of any known dinosaur species.

Review: Woolly Mammoth (Mojö Fun)

Review and photos by PhilSauria, edited by Suspsy
Should you not mind having the odd mammal or two in your dinosaur collection, you’d probably go for a woolly mammoth and maybe a sabertooth for starters. This toy here is not an essential mammoth in that case; if you rated prehistoric figures in a celebrity style scale we are not talking A-lister here.

Review: Ouranosaurus (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)

Review and photographs by Rajvinder “IrritatorRaji” Phull, edited by Suspsy
I, like many others, can thank Jurassic Park for fuelling my love of dinosaurs. However, I feel very few people can thank the video game Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for kick-starting an adoration for Ouranosaurus.

Review: Smilodon (Mojö Fun)

Review and photos by PhilSauria, edited by Suspsy
Smilodon is another one of those extinct animals that you’d call a staple, appearing in most prehistoric toylines that go beyond dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles to include mammals. This guy and the woolly mammoth are generally the usual suspects when companies producing such a range want to tick the prehistoric mammal box.

Before I begin this review, I’ll just say that I’m relatively new to the dinosaur model scene, so there may be things I am not looking for or may have missed. That said, this is an initial review of the product I received.
