Originally, it was intended that our highly esteemed author and forum member EmperorDinobot would review the Papo Ampelosaurus. But in July 2025, we had to learn of his tragic death at only 36 years old. I hope the following lines will do justice to his legacy. Here the complete package is right. First of all, I would like to make...
Written by Primeval12 and crazy8wizard. Photos by Primeval12. Edited by Suspsy Hey, welcome everyone to our review here on the Dinosaur Toy Blog. And I’m just gonna be honest: this is a doozy. Today, crazy8wizard and I will be reviewing Papo’s infamous Protoceratops from their 2022 wave. Wizard helped me review the animal from a scientific perspective and I reviewed...
Times have been very hard lately, and the smallest gestures are worth living for. I would like to thank Happy Hen Toys for providing me with this interesting specimen, so I could pass the time playing with it, photographing it, and helping me to focus on something less painful. You’d be doing a disservice to yourself not checking their store...
My great thanks to Happy Hen Toys for their generosity in providing this figure for review, which is now available for sale at their website happyhentoys.com. Two whole years after rumors of its existence first began circulating among dino collectors, Papo’s figurine of the Australian apex predator, Kronosaurus queenslandicus, has finally emerged from the realm of myth and begun landing...
My sincere thanks to Happy Hen Toys for furnishing this review sample. More Mosasaurus toys have been produced in the 8 years since Jurassic World than in the entire previous history of the toy industry. The majority of those toys have been influenced by the JW design, with spikes all over the back, cavities all over the head, and an...
Review by GiganotosaurusFan, photos by Dino Scream3232, edited by Suspsy A long time ago, Edward Drinker Cope found the largest carnivore that ever existed, Tyrannosaurus rex, although he thought it was a ceratopsid, so he named it Manospondylus gigas. Eventually, however, Henry Fairfield Osborn gave it the iconic name that we know today. Certain theropods were once thought to be even...
2020 has been a bumper year for the Palaeozoic, Therapsids and minor creatures of the Mesozoic, but this has come at the expense of Cenozoic species, at least among the major toy lines, and the mammals only made half of this list. CollectA produced Megalodon, and Papo brought out the only mammal of 2020 from the major toy producers. Fortunately,...
Review and photos by Bokisaurus In what will one day be known as the Southern United States, vast herds of dinosaurs once roamed this desolate and hauntingly beautiful landscape.Large and small dinosaurs dotted the landscape, some moving in large herd while others like the huge sauropod Alamosaurus tower over them as they slowly make their way across the plains. Predators...
Review and photographs by Loon, edited by Suspsy It’s no secret that Papo has always been “inspired” by pop culture depictions of dinosaurs. This isn’t unique, even companies like Safari and CollectA occasionally copy designs and color schemes from time to time. Still, no one does it as frequently and blatantly as Papo. With their 2019 Gorgosaurus, they’ve continued that trend,...
Review and photos by H. Sanchez, edited by Suspsy Pentaceratops is a fairly well-known dinosaur, although not very represented in toy form. The most prominent one up until now is the one by Schleich. Today we will be reviewing this 2019 model by Papo. While it is true that it was not liked by many people at first due to...
Review and photos by Bokisaurus Well, after the long wait, and after all of the hype that surrounded it since its announcement, the new Papo Spinosaurus based on the latest reconstruction is finally available to the masses.Surely this figures ranks as one of the most anticipated figure of all time and would probably go down in history as one of...
Review and images by ‘Resurrection of the dinosaurs,’ edited by Suspsy. I usually do not like reviewing a repaint of an original sculpt that has already been reviewed here on the blog, simply due to the fact that I am left with not much to talk about except for the new paint job. As you may all know, Papo has repainted...
