Last summer PNSO released a wave of Triassic, Chinese marine reptiles that included the already reviewed Guanlingsaurus and Guizhouichthyosaurus. Now it’s finally time to look at the last one, the Dinocephalosaurus. Dinocephalosaurus was described in 2003, but it generated significant buzz when a new specimen was announced in 2024 that basically doubled the known size of the thing.

It’s yet another hot summer day and the last thing that Cameron would care to do is move a single muscle of his ten ton body. That’s because he’s been beating the heat by lounging comfortably in a shallow pool, with his huge head resting on the muddy bank, his titanic trunk half submerged in the cool brown water, and his tremendous tail splayed out on the opposite bank.

My absolute gratitude to Happy Hen Toys for generously sending this little figure of a cute fish for me to review here. You can pick up this figure, and many others like it from there as well.
While I adore a number of prehistoric fish (like that silly Sacabambaspis that became a meme a few years ago), there is but one that has captivated me more then any other since my childhood.

Introduction
A large, bipedal theropod with short arms, two‑fingered hands, a deep skull lined with dozens of sharp teeth, and highly developed sensory capabilities—if you guessed a tyrannosaurid, you would be correct. But not a tyrannosaurine.

Guanlingsaurus is a genus of late Triassic ichthyosaur from China. It is a member of the Shastasauridae family and for a time it was assigned to the Shastasaurus genus. It is known from the Xiaowa Formation and lived alongside Guizhouichthyosaurus, which was also once assigned to Shastasaurus.

The China-Canada Dinosaur Project was a series of paleontological expeditions carried out by Chinese and Canadian scientists between 1986 and 1991. In 1993, a travelling exhibition called the Dinosaur Project World Tour was launched to promote all of their findings. I went to see it in Toronto that year, and it was a truly fantastic experience for a young dinosaur enthusiast.

He’s back! He’s brown! And he’s definitely better! Once again, Cameron the Tyrannosaurus rex strides onto the PNSO stage!
He’s got lips! Moreover, he’s got articulation, articulation beyond a hinged lower jaw!
What an exciting release! Imagine what future PNSO theropods, and other dinosaurs, are going to be like!

In the birdwatching hobby there exists something known as a “spark bird”, the species that sparked your interest in birds and got you into bird watching. Although I am a birder, I do not have a spark bird, but when it comes to the dinosaur toy hobby, I do have spark dinosaur figures: the feathered Carnegie Collection toys released in 2006.

Lanqi the PNSO Lanzhousaurus looks like she’s very pleased and proud to be here.
Lanzhousaurus is an Early Cretaceous styracosternan iguanodont from China. As far as I am aware, this is the very first toy of one.

Hugo wants to come home for the holidays! This is the first toy of the terrifying Taurovenator.
I like how Hugo is posed in a crouching position, that’s a nice change.
And of course, I like that he has lips!

Coronosaurus brinkmani is a species of late Cretaceous centrosaurine that was described in 2005 as a species of Centrosaurus and later reclassified as its own genus in 2012. Not everyone agrees with the reclassification however, and there are those that still consider Coronosaurus to actually be a species of Centrosaurus.
