June 12, 2015 was the day the Jurassic Park series was revived with a new film called Jurassic World. It features a revamped park along with many new species, including Dimorphodon, Mosasaurus, and a new hybrid, along with old favourites like Tyrannosaurus.
Monsters in My Pocket was a toy franchise that started in the 80s that consisted of a series of small, rubber figures. These figures were each only a few inches tall and could each come in a variety of solid colors. What makes this toy line special is that each figure is modeled after a certain creature that exists in some sort of real culture.
The ending of Jurassic World opened a can of worms to a world of possibilities as to where our favorite sci-fi dinosaur franchise was going. Luckily there was a ton of lore to draw from, whether it was from the books, game or other media, though maybe not as deep as Star Wars, but just like the Star Wars sequel trilogy, there was not much of a plan going forward in terms of movie-making.

Hello Dinofans! This review marks my 40th review for the blog! It took years to get to this number. So I wanted to celebrate the occasion by doing something different, fun and really silly, but also relevant to the blog.Choosing a subject for the occasion was hard, but I ultimately decided to highlight our little furry friend.

After reviewing the blog’s first hybrid dinosaur that has nothing to do with Jurassic Park, I decided to review the rest of the figures I own in this series. Picking the next one to review was something I did at random, and here is the winner.

Over the course of Kenner’s Jurassic Park line, three figures used the same Lycaenops sculpt. The first one was made for Series 2 in 1994. The second one was for the 2000 Jurassic Park: Dinosaurs line under the bizarre name of “Lynx.” And finally, Kenner made the third one for their Chaos Effect line, but called it the “Tyrannops.” Crazy.

Today I have a figure that probably should not be here given that I openly said that I did not think the Indominus Rex was worthy of a review on the blog. But since the subject is part of a series that consists of nothing but monstrous hybrid dinosaurs that I feared would appear in Jurassic World in some way or another, I decided to give it a go.
