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.

Across the various online Jurassic World collector communities I’ve seen increased talk about a new sort of collectable that appears to have slipped in under the radar, Blokees. A Chinese toy company, Blokees produces buildable action figures under various licensed properties.

Originally, it was intended that our highly esteemed author and forum member EmperorDinobot would review the Papo Ampelosaurus. But in July 2025, we had to learn of his tragic death at only 36 years old. I hope the following lines will do justice to his legacy.
Review: Mussaurus (Hammond Collection by Mattel)

Mussaurus is a genus of early Jurassic sauropodomorph that in the old days would have been known as a “prosauropod”. Mussaurus means “mouse lizard” because the first discovered specimens of it were all hatchlings and juveniles. We now have adult specimens as well, indicating that Mussaurus reached a length of 20-26’ (5-8 meters), making its name misleading.

Review by Paleo Flo, edited by DinoToyBlog.
When it comes to dinosaur figures and models we are actually living in some kind of wonderland. There are so many companies which all produce wonderful offerings of the animals from deep time. As a dinosaur enthusiast you have the trouble of choosing.
Review: Titanosaurus (Jurassic World: Rebirth, Pillow Buddy by Franco Manufacturing Co.)

I wasn’t originally planning to review back-to-back Titanosaurus toys but then late last week I caught wind of this large plush “pillow buddy” and knew I had to track it down for my youngest as a Christmas present. This also gave me the fun opportunity to review another Titanosaurus immediately following my last one.

Review: Brontosaurus (Haolonggood)

Aside from Tyrannosaurus rex, not very many prehistoric animals can rightly lay claim to the status of pop culture icon, but Brontosaurus is most definitely one of them. It is by no means the biggest sauropod, nor is it the most unusual, but it is blessed with a name that always rolls off one’s tongue in a most satisfyingly smooth way.

Ingentia is an early sauropodiform that lived during the late Triassic in what is now Argentina. Described in 2018, the name Ingentia prima means “first huge one” and Ingentia was among the first large sauropodomorphs to appear.
Review: Dreadnoughtus (Jurassic World Minis by Mattel)

I’m not normally interested in the Mattel Jurassic World mini figures, preferring instead to focus on the Captivz line, but every once in a while, they release something that grabs my attention. Such was the case here with the “mini” Dreadnoughtus, by far the largest figure in the minis line.

Review and photographs by Henry, age 12, edited by Suspsy
Camarasaurus was a basal macronarian that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic. Although there have been quite a few figures of it over the years (and most have been incredible), there are few that are as impressive as Haolonggood’s 2024 take.

In the last several years, the toy dinosaur community has seen an exponential increase in figures of dinosaurs discovered in China, driven mainly by the prolific China-based companies PNSO and Haolonggood. Today we looking at the first dinosaur seriously scientifically investigated from China, the sauropod Euhelopus zdanski of the early Cretaceous.
