Review: Einiosaurus (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)

Genus: Einiosaurus Brand: Safari Ltd., Wild Safari Classification: Centrosaur, Ceratopsian Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

5 (26 votes)

Described in 1995 by Scott Sampson the Einiosaurus has been known to science for over 20 years but has never really caught on in popularity. Although not as iconic as Triceratops, or as flashy as Styracosaurus, the Einiosaurus has to be among the most bizarre looking ceratopsians.

Review: Triceratops (Baby by CollectA)

Review and Photographs by Triceratops83, edited by Suspsy
CollectA has grown over the years from a curiosity producing mediocre figures at best to a leading brand rivaling Safari as the favourite makers of toy dinosaurs. One of their earlier, and admittedly better efforts was the Triceratops baby, released in 2007.

Hello! This is your friendly neighborhood EmperorDinobot with another review! As you saw from my previous review, I absolutely love ReSaurus’ Carnage dinosaurs. It took me ten years to find most of them, but I finally succeeded!

Months ago, there was a call for completing the Tyco page of the DTB and I replied that I’d add a review. I intended to have a look for the Pteranodon, a figure I just then had acquired, but couldn’t manage to write down a review in time and eventually this was done by Gwangi.

Review: Zhuchengtyrannus vs Sinoceratops (Favorite Co. Ltd)

Genus: Sinoceratops, Zhuchengtyrannus Brand: Favorite Co. Ltd. Classification: Centrosaur, Ceratopsian, Theropod, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

4.8 (6 votes)

Review and photos by Triceratops83, edited by Suspsy
The Favorite Zhuchengtyrannus and Sinoceratops come packaged in a boxed set for the Fukui Dinosaur Museum in Japan. They are sculpted by Favorite’s premiere artist, Kazunari Araki. Both of these dinosaurs are only known from fragmentary remains, so the scale is a bit iffy, but they fit in well enough with other 1:40 figures (or possibly slightly smaller).

The PNSO brand has taken the dinosaur collecting world by storm, releasing within a year a respectable range of impressive figures and high end models. PNSO dinosaurs have become known for their realistic sculpts and the recently released Triceratops is no exception.

Review and photos by Bokisaurus, edited by Suspsy
These days, the race to produce the latest, most scientifically accurate dinosaur figures is all the rage. Each year, toy manufacturing companies and the collector communities are so focused on which of these new models will be the most accurate, those figures that are deemed not accurate are quickly tossed to the side or worse, bombarded with enough criticism to fill an entire encyclopedia!

Review: Triceratops (Field Museum Mold-A-Rama)

We’re about to step back in time again kids, and no, not to the Mesozoic but to the 1964 World’s Fair. Although this figure was “made” quite recently it has its roots as a souvenir produced by the once popular Mold-A-Rama machines that used to be present at various tourist destinations and at least in this case are still available at Chicago’s Field Museum.

Review and Photographs by Triceratops83, edited by Suspsy
Triceratops is one dinosaur that needs no introduction, as it has been represented in toy and model form literally hundreds of times. Also needless of an introduction is the Japanese brand Kaiyodo, responsible for some of the very best plastic and vinyl dinosaur interpretations.

Time again to downsize with CollectA’s second tube collection. Like the previous set I reviewed, this one came out in late 2015 and contains no fewer than ten teeny toy dinosaurs and other prehistoric monsters, a couple of them making their debut with CollectA.

Review: Triceratops (Jurassic Park 2009 by Hasbro)

Genus: Triceratops Brand: Hasbro, Jurassic Park Classification: Ceratopsian, Chasmosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure

The dinosaur toy community received a big surprise in the summer of 2016 with the news that Universal had taken away the Jurassic Park license from Hasbro and given it to Mattel. Whether or not this is a boon or a bust remains to be seen, although I have difficulty envisioning anything worse than the embarrassing Jurassic World line.
