Panini’s Prehistoric Animals sticker album has been published in several editions over the decades going back to the 1970s.
Classification: Pterosaur
Review: Prehistoric Diorama (Usborne)
Paper is usually not the material of choice for collectors of any sort. I anyway want to introduce you to something that may be of interest for a dinosaur collector, though it are probably not the figures….
The introduced cut out model was first released in 1993 under the title “Make these Dinosaurs” and the art of it, especially the dinosaur desgin, certainly represents this time.
Review: Prehistoric Hunters (Creator by Lego)
“Hey, folks. Hope none of you are getting coal in your stockings this year.”
“Indeed, because we have a marvellous present for everyone: a review of the 2012 Lego Creator set 6914: Prehistoric Hunters!
Review: Prehistoric Tube A (CollectA)
Review: Prehistoric Tube B (CollectA)
First up is a bantam Amargasaurus, based on the Deluxe version.
Review: Prehistoric Tube C (CollectA)
Since they first started producing tube sets back in 2015, CollectA has covered a pretty decent variety of prehistoric life, wild animals, sea creatures, and farm stock. In 2021, they went back to the beginning with a third dinosaur (mostly) set consisting of ten figures, all based on previously released toys.
Review: Pteranodon (2019)(Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)
Despite surprising levels of controversy surrounding it upon release, this is an excellent model that reflects scientific understanding to the best detail currently possible.
Pteranodon is the default popular image of the pterosaurs (often misidentified broadly as “pterodactyls” – although Pteranodon IS nestled deep in suborder Pterodactyloidea).
Review: Pteranodon (2021)(Deluxe by CollectA)
The fish is small, but still big enough to be worth the effort for Camber, who begins swooping down toward the ocean surface. As he nears his target, his bill opens ever so slightly, ready for a precision strike. But then he is abruptly thrown off course by a larger male streaking past him.

Review: Pteranodon (Battle Damage)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
Review: Pteranodon (Carnegie Collection by Safari Ltd)
I think the Carnegie Pteranodon is supposed to be in a flying pose, either that or sprawled out on its tummy in the most ungainly manner.

Review: Pteranodon (Conquering the Earth by Schleich)
Review and photographs by Stolpergeist, edited by Suspsy
Long time collectors may remember Schleich’s first Pteranodon, part of the Replica Saurus line back in 2001. It was an elegant creature, beautifully sculpted, and still pleasing to the modern collector’s eye. In 2018, almost two decades later, Schleich released a new version as part of the Conquering the Earth line.
Review: Pteranodon (Deluxe by CollectA)
For my first review on the Dinosaur Toy Blog, I will be covering a somewhat underrated figure: the CollectA Deluxe Pteranodon.
Facts about this creature: Pteranodon, which means “toothless wing” is a genus of pteradactyloid pterosaur that lived in what is now the central United States during the Late Cretaceous period about 86 to 84.5 million years ago.
Review: Pteranodon (DINO by Lego)
“What’s up with that flight cap and goggles, Doc?
“Well, Beth, today we’re going to be reviewing that iconic denizen of the Cretaceous skies, the Lego Pteranodon! So I figured I’d dress the part, you know!”
“Ah, gotcha.
