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...
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...
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...
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...
Standing tall atop the sloping ridge that overlooks the north side of the lake, with the sun beaming down generously on her, Judith surveys the activity going on below. At the bottom of the ridge, next to the water and directly before her, a huge crocodilian is dozing peacefully. Further down the shore, a family group of fellow ceratopsians (but...
After our dear fellow reviewer EmperorDinobot’s (Luis Perez) untimely passing back in late July, there’s been a gap left behind with reviews he planned to do when he was still with us, but unfortunately never got to finish, and now sadly he never will. Some of the regular reviewers here have already graciously stepped up and finished some of these...
Over the many years since Mattel has had the Jurassic World license, the toy line has seen its fair share of ceratopsians (with a total of 18 genera at the moment), despite a handful featuring in the films (including the new Aquilops). Last year finally introduced one of my favorites, the Chasmosaurus. It’s not the first time Chamosaurus has popped...
Review and Photos by Hubert, edited by DinoToyBlog. My overview of Wing Crown’s 7 inch ‘Cartoon Series’ continues with their Triceratops. This is definitely my least favourite in the set and I think the ‘cartoonification’ went a little too far. The body shape is fairly accurate for the genus, maybe a bit too low above the shoulders, but it’s fine...
Before I start this review, I would like to thank our generous friends at Happy Hen Toys for providing this review sample. Of all of Haolonggood’s 2024 releases, this is the one I was most excited for, so I am honored to have been able to receive it as a gift. Since moving to Utah in 2016 and collecting dinosaurs...
So, friends, here I am again. It took a little longer, that’s for sure. I was busy writing and marketing my first book about my own and other people´s fascination for prehistory (The Dinosaur Toy Blog and Forum play a big role in it!) and had the usual private and professional struggles. But from now on I would like to...
