The show Jurassic World live Tour
was quite a lot of fun.
I took my seat and looked at the brochure,
and read about each animal one by one.
The Tyrannosaur was massive and not demure.

My name is Rob but I go by Laticauda (which is a genus of Elapid “Sea” snakes) on both the Dinosaur Toy Blog and Forum. My dinosaur collecting journey began when I discovered the Carnegie line as a kid. They amazed me and I didn’t look at them as toys but as art. By the time I headed off to college I no longer collected prehistoric toys as I had moved on to new collecting pursuits. This all changed the day when my first child was born as it rekindled my passion for the prehistoric world. Now I have two kids and I enjoy sharing the hobby with them.All reviews by this author

Review: Ichthyosaurus (Wild Safari Prehistoric World, by Safari Ltd)

It was a hot July day. To beat the heat and to stay cool I headed off to a nearby creek to sit by the water. I found a tall tree by the water and walked into the shade. I slumped back onto the trunk, closed my eyes, and let my bare feet extend past the bank and dangle over the water.
Review: Brachiosaurus (Jurassic Park III Re-Ak A-Tak wave 2, by Hasbro)
2.2 (15 votes)
This was the first full sized Brachiosaurus in the Jurassic Park line and was released for the Jurassic Park III movie. This marks the begging of Hasbro’s full control of the Jurassic Park toy line after closing Kenner in 2000. It strays away from the playful but not always successful Kenner style and into a less interesting, boring, mass produced, and shall I say lower quality toys.
Review: Borealopelta (CollectA)

Before we sink our teeth into a toy that is based upon one of the most exciting fossil discoveries ever made, I have a few thanks to give out. First I would like to thank CollectA for supplying this sample and its continuing support to the writers at the Dinosaur Toy Blog. I also would like to thank Suspsy, who has made this review possible.
Review: Mosasaurus and Diver Imaginext (Jurassic World by, Fisher-Price)
3.2 (6 votes)
With Mattel taking over the Jurassic World franchise from Hasbro, it has produced better toys when you compare the two lines. As for the Imaginext vs the Playschool Heroes Jurassic World lines they come across much closer in quality and style. With their ridiculous big feet to aid in stability, and the simple, yet overdone accessories the Imaginext series is intended for preschoolers.
Review: Euoplocephalus (Starlux)
2.9 (12 votes)
The air was hot and humid as the midday sun radiated down from a clear blue sky. An old Euoplocephalus was feeling the heat on her back from the glaring sun. While she was drinking at the edge of a small, shallow creek, she was surrounded by a group Edmontosaurus.
Review: Glyptodon (Starlux)
3.8 (9 votes)
The 70’s Glyptodon by Starlux is an interesting reproduction of an animal that had a curved and armored carapace which would have made nodosaurids and ankylosaurids proud. It is a strange toy. It has no articulation but it is able to be played with. It has some nice details but lacks finish.

Review: Minmi (Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Attack Pack wave 3 by Mattel)
3.1 (9 votes)
It’s fantastic to see Mattel make so many different species of dinosaurs for the Jurassic World FK line. Minmi is another one of those wonderful rarely seen dinosaurs that is gracing us in plastic form. This animal is not just a mini me version of an ankylosaur.
Review: Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Kinder Joy Eggs (by Ferrero)
4 (7 votes)
Here is an interesting fact. In the United States of America, the release of the limited edition Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Kinder Joy Eggs would have been illegal if it had been released in previous years. The reason for this is that any candy with a toy or “non-nutritive object embedded” inside it has been illegal since 1938, when the U.S.
