Author: Suspsy

Suspsy has lived in Canada all his life. One day when he was in kindergarten, his teacher did a lesson on dinosaurs and put up some giant cutouts on the wall. Suspsy immediately began pretending to be a Tyrannosaurus rex at playtime, and continued to do so for many subsequent playtimes. Since then, he has acquired two degrees, worked many different jobs, travelled to many fantastic locations, fallen in love, gotten married, and settled down to raise a family, but his passion for dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals has never waned.

Review: Tyrant Twosome (Brown Running T. rex and Rainbow T. rex by Papo)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

4.1 (17 votes)
Depending on how you look at it, repaints are either a blessing or a curse. On the one hand, it can be annoying to plunk down hard-earned money on a sculpt you already own. On the other hand, there’s a lot to be said for a radical new colour scheme that spruces up a familiar toy.

Review: Arsinoitherium (CollectA)

Genus: Brand: Classification: Age: , Type:

4.3 (20 votes)
Arsinoitherium was a large herbivorous denizen of swamps and rainforests during the late Eocene and early Oligocene eras. Despite its resemblance to a rhinoceros, it was more closely related to elephants, hyraxes, and sirenians.

Released by CollectA in 2014, this Arsinoitherium toy measures just about 18.5 cm long from the tips of its horns to the end of its tail.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Junior from The Lost World: Jurassic Park by Kenner)

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

4.9 (70 votes)
The breakout star of The Lost World: Jurassic Park was “Junior,” the unlucky baby Tyrannosaurus rex who suffered a broken leg and was kidnapped twice by unfeeling humans. Happily, his injury was fixed by Sarah Harding and he got to exact his revenge on that rotten Ludlow.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Version 2)(Carnegie Collection by Safari Ltd.)

There was once a time when no proper museum gift shop didn’t feature the legendary and now-defunct Carnegie Collection. Let us take a closer look at one of its biggest stars.

Here we have the second version of the Carnegie Tyrannosaurus rex, released in 1996.

Review: Plesiosaur (Larami)

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

1.9 (9 votes)
Often times it’s easier and cheaper to copy another toy company’s fine work and that’s precisely what we have here. Behold the Larami Plesiosaur, a cheap imitation of Invicta’s classic sculpt. This toy actually came as part of a wedding package from a dear old friend of mine.

Review: Pachycephalosaurus (Tsukuda Hobby Collection)

Genus: Brand: Classification: Age: Type:

3.6 (8 votes)
Among the many prehistoric toys of the 1980s’ were the distinctive dinosaurs of the Tsukuda Hobby Collection. I vividly recall coming across them at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto back in 1989 (I think) when it was showcasing the then-spectacular animatronics of Dinamation. My dear mother was kind enough to buy me a couple of the toys that day.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (DINO by Lego)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

4.8 (24 votes)
“Hear ye, hear ye, fellow dinosaur lovers! Queen Dr. Bella Bricking is here, and at my side stands my loyal and brave companion, Lady Beth Buildit.”
“I asked you not to call me that, Doc.”
“I cheerfully apologize, dear Beth. Now, can you guess what dinosaur we’ll be reviewing today?”
“Well gee, let me think.

Review: Amargasaurus (Terra Series by Battat)

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

4.4 (16 votes)
If one were to compile a top ten list of unusual sauropods, Amargasaurus would have to be on it. At only 9 or 10 metres in length, it was a far cry from colossal relatives like Argentinosaurus and Dreadnoughtus. Moreover, it had two parallel rows of spines running down the length of its neck and back.

Review: Gigantoraptor (CollectA)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

3 (15 votes)
At four metres tall, eight metres long, and more than two tons in weight, Gigantoraptor is by far the biggest known oviraptorosaurid. Its toothless lower jaw suggests a herbivorous diet (the rest of the skull is unknown), but its powerful limbs and sharp claws meant that it was not an animal to be trifled with.

Review: Triceratops (DINO by Lego)

“Salutations, fellow dinosaur lovers! I am Dr. Bella Bricking and here with me is Beth Buildit. Time to review another Lego dinosaur!”
“And I’m guessing that opera helmet has something to do with it, Doc?”
“That’s correct, Beth! Today we’ll be looking at the huge and horned Triceratops!”
“Right, horns, I get it.

Review: Velociraptor (DINO by Lego)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

“Heads up, fellow dinosaur lovers! Dr. Bella Bricking and Beth Buildit here! Be brave and be alert! Today we’re going to examine a very dangerous Lego dinosaur: Velociraptor! That’s why I’m wearing this protective gear!”
“Doc, that’s a fencing mask.”
“Yes, I know that, Beth.
