Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster for sending me this figure to share with the blog. Today we’re looking at the second to last figure from a batch of toys that ToyMonster sent me all the way back in June 2024.

My name is Arthur but I go by Gwangi on the blogs and forums, as homage to the old dinosaur and monster movies I love so much. In addition to writing about and collecting toy animals (extinct and extant) I also share my home with a variety of living animals, mostly reptiles but a little bit of everything. I have a lifelong interest in all things nature and natural history and most of my hobbies can be linked to those things in some way. I currently live in Maryland with my wife and daughters. In addition to writing on here I also write magazine articles, typically about local wildlife and aquarium fishes.All reviews by this author

Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me a large selection of Captivz figures to share with the blog.
When Jurassic World: Dominion came out there was a lot of talk about the inaccuracies of its dinosaurs.
Review: Jakapil (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, Danger Pack by Mattel)
Review: Lophostropheus (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, Danger Pack by Mattel)
3.6 (5 votes)
Lophostropheus is a coelophysoid theropod known from the boundary between the late Triassic and early Jurassic. It is known from a single tooth, a handful of vertebrae from the neck, back, and tail, some pelvic material, and an unidentified fragment. Such scant remains practically guaranteed a toy of Lophostropheus from Mattel, and here we are.
Review: Atopodentatus (Ultimate Dinosaurs by Yowie Group)
4.2 (5 votes)
Although I’ve reviewed a number of these Yowie figures there’s one above all others that I’ve been wanting to obtain, the Atopodentatus, and I guess the 12th times the charm! Although listed as “common” on the Yowie rarity chart it had frustratingly eluded me for two months.
Review: Iguanodon (Ultimate Dinosaurs by Yowie Group)
3.3 (3 votes)
What set of “ultimate dinosaurs” wouldn’t include the second dinosaur described by science? Although hardly obscure I wouldn’t exactly call Iguanodon popular either so any new figures of it should warrant some attention and a time to shine on the Dinosaur Toy Blog.
Review: Parasaurolophus (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, Captivz Build N’ Battle Dinos by ToyMonster)
Review: Triceratops (Small World Importing)
4.2 (6 votes)
I cannot believe it, my 300th review! How can it be that a single person has written 300 toy dinosaur reviews in 13 years? Well, aside from just enjoying it I also write reviews as a distraction from the trials of life, and anyone that has been paying attention to current events over the last several years will understand why my output has been so large lately!
Review: Liopleurodon (Painted) (British Museum of Natural History by Invicta)
Review: Triceratops (Ultimate Dinosaurs by Yowie Group)
3 (5 votes)
Although another Triceratops is probably the last thing any of us need in our collections (certainly mine) this one from Yowie Group is decent enough to deserve some time in the spotlight on the Dinosaur Toy Blog. It comes from Yowie Groups Ultimate Dinosaur series which is currently available in various shop across the United States.

Since I just wrote reviews for a Mapusaurus and Tyrannotitan I thought it would be fitting to review another carcharodontosaurid and look at the Captivz Giganotosaurus by ToyMonster.
