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.

Having grown up in the 80s and the 90s, I can vividly recall Lambeosaurus sometimes being described as one of the very biggest ornithopods, rivalling Shantungosaurus itself. That notion was based on a specimen known as LACM 17715, discovered in Baja California, Mexico, and named L.

Shantungosaurus giganteus, as its name suggests, was a monster of a hadrosaurid from the Late Cretaceous of China. It is known from a handful of incomplete skeletons. Shantungosaurus may be the sister genus to the American Edmontosaurus.

Today we’re looking at Mattel’s latest fragmentary dinosaur that you’ve never heard of, Minqaria, a late Cretaceous lambeosaur. Until the announcement of this toy I had never heard of this dinosaur. Mattel’s odd assortment of obscure animals has introduced me to a lot of things I’ve never heard of, and I’m thankful for it!

Review: Maiasaura (Jurassic World: Rebirth, Wild Roar by Mattel)

Described in 1979 by Jack Horner (and Robert Makela), the “good mother lizard” and its communal nesting sites in Montana were discovered just in time to corroborate the notion that dinosaurs were active, warm blooded, bird-like animals, that invested time in rearing their offspring.
Review: Parasaurolophus (ANIA by Takara Tomy)

In my last Takara Tomy review, I covered the ANIA Styracosaurus, the 17th figure in the AL line and a decent, but admittedly somewhat drab-looking rendition of the horned dinosaur. As if in full awareness of the latter fact, Takara Tomy’s 18th figurine of the AL line features a striking contrast in the elegant and brightly colored Parasaurolophus, the first ornithopod dinosaur featured in the series.

The North American hadrosaurid Maiasaura is famous for being the “good mother lizard,” the first dinosaur for which there is fossil evidence of parental behaviour in the form of nests containing babies that were clearly being fed and cared for by adults.

Having recently set the scene for Wing Crown’s Cartoon Series in our introductory review, let’s now take a brief look at another of the figures in the 7 inch dinosaurs set. Parasaurolophus is next on the list, now in some nice warm colors, reminiscent of a sunset sky.
Review: Lambeosaurus (Ultimate Dinosaurs by Yowie Group)

Here’s another of the more exciting additions to Yowie’s Ultimate Dinosaurs series, the Lambeosaurus. I say more exciting because Lambeosaurus is somewhat of a rarity on the toy market, especially in more kid oriented little sets like this.
