Only two years after it showed up in Jurassic World Dominion, the fan favorite Therizinosaurus finally joined Mattel’s Hammond Collection line of highly articulated action figures last year. I’ll be straight to the point in saying that this is easily one of my top favorites in the line, and I think one of the best in terms of articulation, and screen likeness.

I initially wasn’t planning on acquiring either the Mattel Iguanodon or Skorpiovenator for my children’s dinosaur collection, but back in February 2024, Amazon Canada put the Roarin’ Battle Pack on sale for $26.94, which in this country is three dollars less than the retail price of a single toy in the Roarivores/Roar Strikers/Wild Roar size category.

“Hey there, folks. Hope you’re still holding up strong.”
“Today’s review is an exciting one, for it deals with an animal we have never tackled here before: the iconic Stegosaurus!

Well, with yet another Jurassic World movie coming out this summer, I figured I had better review this toy now rather than later. Yes, it’s another of the many Tyrannosaurus rex variants that Mattel has churned out since 2018.

Lots of neat stuff for the ANIA line this year. First here’s the non-Jurassic World items, each with information cards printed in Japanese and English:
Archaeopteryx. Always nice to see one.
Tyrannomimus, an ornithomimosaurian from Japan. I think this might be the very first toy of it.

And still the Jurassic World reveals keep coming. Here are four additions to the electronic Wild Roar series.
Abelisaurus. That’s quite the dewlap there.
Ankylosaurus. Early reports said this was Euoplocephalus, but perhaps that one will turn up next year?

Although a brand new version of Spinosaurus will be appearing in Jurassic World: Rebirth, the old one from JP3 will be getting a Super Colossal toy this year.
And like other Super Colossal theropods, this one will be able to swallow miniature toys.

Four new Jurassic World Wild Roar toys are presently showing up in Central America, so it shouldn’t be long before they appear elsewhere as well.
Baryonyx has been done many times now, but it’s clearly a popular predator.
Maiasaura, however, is a welcome first for Mattel.

Imagine yourself for a moment in a swamp. Not just any particular swamp. There’s mangrove trees with many vines hanging off their branches, tall reeds and cattails, and a strange assortment of prehistoric fauna. There’s a herd of ginormous Paraceratherium feeding on the trees, Phiomia fleeing from ravenous Titanoboa, Baryonyx fishing, and Beelzebufo hopping around.
