Oh no, my last review was already over a year ago! Never mind, because here I come with a real surprise! As you certainly know, I have a fondness for museum-exclusive figures. Bullyland Procynosuchus from Korbach, Bullyland Protochirotherium from Wolfhagen or the Tsintaosaurus from Basel (Switzerland) are highlights of my collecting history.

Review: Anomalocaris Carri (by From the Shale Plushies)

The Canadian Burgess Shale is one of the most important fossil deposits in the world due to the exceptional preservation of its fossils. Located within the Stephen Formation in British Columbia, it was deposited during the middle of the Cambrian period (or the Miaolingian, about 508 Ma).

Older collectors no doubt remember the Land of the Lost TV series that ran from 1974-76 and younger collectors are probably aware of the 2009 film adaptation of the show, starring Will Ferrell, but in-between the two there was a reboot of the show that only 90’s kids probably remember.
Review: Spinosaurus (Mesozoic Life Project)

Dawn breaks across the Egyptian marsh. Rays of sunlight begin piercing the treeline, and Ramses stirs as the warmth of the rays tickle the arch of his sail, working their way down his flanks. His six-foot long, toothy jaws open wide in a yawn, and he begins stretching his muscles, readying his body for a new day of activity.

I cannot believe it, my 300th review! How can it be that a single person has written 300 toy dinosaur reviews in 13 years? Well, aside from just enjoying it I also write reviews as a distraction from the trials of life, and anyone that has been paying attention to current events over the last several years will understand why my output has been so large lately!

At this point in my life, my reviews are all going to be somewhat personal. As collectors, we tend to form serious attachments to our toys or figures, as they often serve as memory capsules. They remind us of things such as a fun event that led to their discovery, a trip where a collector bought a figure at a gift shop, a gift given to a collector for their birthday, or by a special someone that may or may not be with them anymore, etc.

Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Today we’ll take a (satirical) look at Bicaputosaurus ivani, sculpted by an unknown artist.
For the first time, a national big box department store steps to the front, ahead of offerings by typical dinosaur manufacturers, offering this rare dinosaur to any discriminating collector.

Two rather chunky Allosaurus fearlessly take down a helpless Diplodocus! This used to be on display at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
If you’re a big fan of prehistoric dioramas like the vintage one shown above, then how about voting in the DTF Diorama 2023 Contest?

Review: Red Gazelle (Forgotten Friends Series A by Yowie)

Africa is an amazing continent, full of incredible species throughout the history of the world. Many are sadly no longer extant, lost to time, often as the result of human expansion. Such is the case with the Red Gazelle, found in Algeria, all that is now left of this species are a few specimens…..
