The 2000 Disney film simply titled Dinosaur was a technological achievement but ultimately a mediocre movie. The history of the film itself is an interesting one and a prime example of how Hollywood meddling can take a great concept and run it to the ground. Originally, the film was to be darker, without any talking animals. The Land before Time...
Flocking this way and back into our hearts, here comes the Gallimimus, not only is it featured again in the Jurassic Park franchise’s 5th installment but it’s back on the toy shelves as well. Gallimimus has featured in all but one Jurassic Park movies to date. That’s quite an accomplishment for a genus that belongs to one of...
Review and photos by Takama, edited by Suspsy Another day, another Jurassic World review. This time it’s the Walmart exclusive Battle Damage Monolophosaurus that comes with the T. rex I reviewed not too long ago. For those who are new to the community and not up to speed on your dinosaurs, Monolophosaurus was a species of theropod dinosaur that is...
Despite its many inaccuracies the Dilophosaurus in the original Jurassic Park was one of my favorite dinosaurs in the entire franchise. Fanciful yes, Spielberg deliberately altered the Dilophosaurus for his film for an added punch, and being the master movie director that he is, it worked. The Dilophosaurus scene in Jurassic Park was the scariest moment of the film...
Pictures and co authored by William It is a warm sunny day and you are walking across your backyard enjoying the comfort of the warming rays upon your skin. You suddenly feel a chill run up your spine, as you have a sudden sensation of being watched. Unknown to you, a plastic creature is staring at you from...
When ever I hear the theme from Jurassic Park it send chills down my spine and puts a smile on my face. That is the power of music combined with the nostalgic feelings that I have for the original Jurassic Park movie. Ever since the original movie release, the franchises movies, music, and toys have had there...
Review and photos by Takama, edited by Suspsy With the Jurassic World license now in the hands of people who actually care about the toys they make, we now have a large selection of toys that (so far) have proven to be a massive improvement over the poorly designed dreck that Hasbro has created for the last film in the...
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. rex figures as part of their line. The focus of this review is the smallest of...
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. The...
Review and Photographs by Cretaceous Crab, edited by Suspsy 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! The name says it all. This is pretty much the largest T. rex action figure ever, at least to my knowledge. Mattel advertises...
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...
Review and photos by Takama, edited by Suspsy So, the time has come to review my first Jurassic World toy from Mattel. I have chosen the Battle Damage Tyrannosaurus rex that comes with a Monolophosaurus, which is exclusive to Walmart in North America. The main reason I chose to buy this toy as opposed to the Thrash ‘N Throw version...
