The fact that I am reviewing a 2025 Jurassic World: Rebirth toy nearly halfway through 2026 is a troubling sign. Indeed, it means that I’m a struggling to find any new releases in my local retail stores, where a meager selection of last year’s toys are gathering dust on the shelves. After months of frustrated searching for early 2026 releases...
If my research is correct, it has been 13 years since Safari Ltd. released a prehistoric animal TOOB. Their last was the Cambrian Life TOOB, released in 2013 and retired from production 4 short years later. And in fact, all of the best Safari prehistoric animal TOOBs were retired in 2017, including the Prehistoric Sharks, Crocodiles, and Sea Life TOOBs....
With the Duel Attack, Hammond Collection, and Habitat Defender Triceratops toys all in my collection I didn’t think I would ever add another Mattel Trike to my shelves, but then Mattel went and made one with rubber skin! I resisted it for as long as I could, but when it inevitably went on sale, I caved, so here I am...
Right off the bat I want to give my sincerest thanks (again) to David James Armsby, who sent me this figure and for free, after a lovely conversation on the forum here. Not only that but with a wonderful little sketch as well. I cannot stress my extreme gratitude for his generosity enough. And yes that is Dead Sound himself,...
Rounding out my reviews of Mattel’s ’93 Classic Collection we’re looking at what might be the most absurd assortment of figures in any of these sets; the one that includes an airborne mathematician carting around a baby Triceratops as if it were a briefcase. This is the Dr. Ian Malcolm Glider Escape Pack, and it’s the last ’93 Classic set...
Before we begin the review, I would like to extend my gratitude towards Happy Hen Toys for sending this figure along as a review sample. Check out their large selection of animal and dinosaur figures by clicking the banner below. With 121 reviews, Triceratops is the second most reviewed genus on the Dinosaur Toy Blog. Much like the dinosaur that...
Lokiceratops is a recently discovered centrosaurine ceratopsid from the famous Judith River Formation of Montana, United States. Its name honours the Norse god Loki, who is frequently depicted wearing a helmet with curved, blade-like horns (especially so in the Marvel comics and movies) that are somewhat reminiscent of the ones found on its frill. And at 6.7 metres long and 5...
Using the holidays as an excuse to take things easy I decided to take a quick and easy look at another Captivz dinosaur. This time we’re looking at the only Captivz ceratopsian left to review, the Sinoceratops. Sinoceratops needs no introduction these days. Described in 2010, its popularity has skyrocketed in recent years. Maybe that’s because it’s the first ceratopsid...
Because of the recent holiday happenings around the house I decided I wanted to keep my workload light this week and review something quick and easy, so I turned to my unreviewed assortment of Captivz figures. My pair of Captivz Triceratops quickly caught my eye. The Captivz Triceratops was one of the first Captivz figures I acquired, and it was...
Move over Bumpy, there’s a new cutie in the Jurassic World franchise. Introduced in Jurassic World: Rebirth, Dolores the Aquilops stole the hearts of children and adults alike and has now been merchandised to death! What was previously a mostly unheard of genus of early Cretaceous ceratopsian is now a household name with several toys to her likeness, ranging from...
That dratted Dakotaraptor pack must have been either desperate with hunger or straight up galoots to try to take on Scutum. To their credit, they attacked him with all their ferocity and might, surrounding him on all sides, distracting him with loud cries and violent wing flapping, and leaping onto his back to dig in with their hooked...
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. Since Centrosaurus is one of my favorite ceratopsians I was...
