We haven’t talked about Chinese company Wenno (see their website) here before, so, let’s take a look. Wenno seem to sell their figures only in sets, not individually. They produce several modern animal sets representing different geographical regions (continents and oceans); a couple of endangered animal sets; and four prehistoric sets: Jurassic, Cretaceous, Herbivore and Carnivore.

Review: Parasaurolophus (Jasman)

Genus: Parasaurolophus Brand: Jasman Classification: Hadrosaur, Ornithopod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

I feel compelled to start this review with a bit of a disclaimer and a warning. First off, I want to point out that this is not the type of stuff I normally collect. My tastes are far more refined than that. However, like other intrepid collectors I always end up with a certain amount of bycatch, stuff that comes along with what I actually want but I’m not actually targeting.

When it comes to makers of model sets, the Japanese company Tamiya should be familiar to most. From planes to light infantry, they have created a wide range of products. One of those lines, however, consists of dinosaur models.

Review: Seven Little Dinosaurs (China Post by PNSO)

Genus: Gigantoraptor, Huayangosaurus, Mamenchisaurus, Microraptor, Sinosauropteryx, Tsintaosaurus, Yangchuanosaurus Brand: PNSO Classification: Allosaur, Compsognathid, Dromaeosaur, Hadrosaur, Ornithopod, Oviraptorosaur, Sauropod, Stegosaur, Theropod, Thyreophoran Age: Cretaceous, Jurassic Type: Figurine, Set

Within the unfortunately short time of its existence, Chinese company PNSO released two products in collaboration or commission for China Post. One is their glorious Mamenchisaurus, the other is a boxed set of “Seven Little Dinosaurs”. Unlike the “Six Little Dinosaurs” the seven do not depict juvenile dinosaurs but rather adult ones, though they are indeed not big figures.

Kids perspective by William, edited by Laticauda

First impressions can be entirely wrong .
When I first saw a picture of the 2017 Safari Ltd. Parasaurolophus, I didn’t think very highly of it. In the stock photo from Safari’s website, I thought it looked rather plain and uninteresting.

Review: Corythosaurus (CollectA)

Genus: Corythosaurus Brand: CollectA Classification: Hadrosaur, Ornithopod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

2.6 (16 votes)

Thanks to its distinctive rounded crest that resembles a helmet when viewed from the side, Corythosaurus is one of the most recognizable hadrosaurids. It’s also one of the best-known, with multiple complete skeletons, more than twenty fossil skulls, and mounted specimens in museums throughout North America.

Review and photos by Quentin Brendel, edited by Suspsy
With its long, tubular crest protruding from the back of its skull, Parasaurolophus is one of the most easily-recognized hadrosaurids. The model to be reviewed today does not have much of one, being a juvenile animal.

Review: Shantungosaurus (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)

Hello, all, this is Fembrogon with my first review for the DinoToyBlog. My featured creature for this review is a big hadrosaur from an equally big up-and-coming toy brand: the gargantuan hadrosaur Shantungosaurus from PNSO’s Age of Dinosaurs series. Shantungosaurus is a genus which I believe could achieve minor stardom in the mainstream with the right push.

Part 2 of the Nemegt Fauna Series. Review and photos by Bokisaurus, edited by Suspsy
Back in 2012, the Osaka Museum Of Natural History launched an impressive special exhibit highlighting the impressive diversity of dinosaur fossils found in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert. This special exhibit was aptly named “The Gobi: Cradle of the Most Enchanting Dinosaur Fossils” and consisted of beautiful specimens of some of the most famous Mongolian dinosaurs for the public to admire.

We’ve all seen them. The crude dinosaur toys that you get in small museum shops for extremely cheap prices, normally just bought by parents to keep their children quiet for a while. The last thing you’d expect is to put six of these together and sell them as a box set.

Beijing-based PNSO (Peking Natural Science and Art Organization) made a splash this year with the release of several large hollow vinyl figures. Besides being imposing due to their size, the new figures are notable for their high level of detail and the unconventional species choices.

Review: Parasaurolophus (Tsukuda Hobby Collection)

Review and photos by docronnie moraleta, edited by Suspsy
Parasaurolophus is known from only a handful of specimens, but somehow it has become one of the most popular dinosaurs around, maybe because of its very interesting cranial crest.

Like all Tsukuda figures from the standard 13 piece set in the 1980s’, this vintage Parasaurolophus is made of hollow vinyl plastic in a multi-piece construction and moulded into one piece; hence the evident appearance of seams along the neck, extremities, and tail.
