Despite being the type genus of Dromaeosauridae, Dromaeosaurus has still not yet been made into a toy by CollectA, Haolonggood, Mojo Fun, Papo, PNSO, Safari Ltd., or Schleich. I really don’t get why. Creative Beast Studio, however, has rightly showered it with plenty of love, in the form of their 1:6 and 1:18 scale toys for Beasts of the Mesozoic....
The current Jurassic World Survival line from Mattel has proven somewhat lackluster so far and put a pause on my Jurassic World toy collecting. As a result, my list of Mattel toys to review has been whittled down to only a few figures, including the remaining ’93 Classic Collection toys. So, the silver lining in this year’s lull is that...
Achillobator is a genus of dromaeosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous is what is now Mongolia. It is known from the Bayanshiree formation, which is known for its diverse assortment of therizinosaurs, including the recently described Duonychus. It is the first dromaeosaur known from this formation and was discovered in 1989, although it wouldn’t be described until 1999. Achillobator ...
Today we’re looking at the Dennis Nedry Track & Chase Pack, part of the now defunct ’93 Classic line that was released in celebration of Jurassic Park’s 30th anniversary. The set was the second to last one to be released before the line was rebranded as the Jurassic World: Reimagined line, which so far has still proved inferior to its...
There are still odd tie-in lines released with the original Jurassic Park trilogy that are left unexplored on the blog, so here is our first look at the figures that came with the Topps Candy Container eggs alongside Jurassic Park III back in 2001. By this time I had stopped buying toys myself, so this is actually my younger brother’s,...
For my money’s worth, one genuinely good thing Jurassic Park III gave us was a terrific array of new dinosaur designs, some of which are among the best-looking dinos in the whole franchise. It also brought back Sam Neil as the beloved paleontologist Alan Grant from the first film, which was a nice treat for longtime fans even if the...
Although never featured in any Jurassic Park or Jurassic World film, Utahraptor has had ties to the franchise since the beginning. Remains of Utahraptor were first discovered in 1975 but it wouldn’t generate much attention until the discovery of a claw and additional remains in 1991. It was described in 1993, the same year that Jurassic Park was released. According...
Review and photos by PrehistoryResurrection, edited by Suspsy Today we will be taking a look at a new Jurassic World line which I believe has not yet been covered on the blog, as well as a new type of figure, which is an articulated stop motion type. The line is called “WOW! STUFF,” which I did not know about...
Although I no longer hold The Lost World: Jurassic Park in high regard, I do have nostalgia for it. I was 13 when the movie was released and I don’t think I was ever more hyped for a film, aside from the first Jurassic Park, perhaps. The marketing campaign for it was intense and with the movie being announced two...
It’s Jurassic June! And this year I’m only reviewing Jurassic Park (and World) merchandise during this holiest of months for Jurassic fans. Yes, I know we review Jurassic stuff all year long, but I haven’t reviewed anything Jurassic for two months so I’m excited to get back into it for this special occasion. Today we’re looking at perhaps my favorite...
“Hello, my fellow dinosaur lovers. Dr. Bella Bricking here once again, as well as the indispensable Beth Buildit. As always, we are happy and proud to be here. Happy National Dinosaur Day and Happy Pride Month!” “Hey there, folks. Hope you’re still holding up strong.” “Today’s review is an exciting one, for it deals with an animal we have never...
While companies like PNSO and Haolonggood might be in vogue these days there are some niches that are still dominated by the old standbys. In the case of dromaeosaurs, Safari is the only company that’s consistently delivering accurate figures of our favorite maniraptoriformes. Any year that sees the announcement of a new Doug Watson sculpted dromaeosaur is one to be...
