Fossils from the polar regions are a rarity, and it often boggles the mind to think of dinosaurs in the ice and snow of places like Antarctica. During the Late Jurassic, Antarctica was part of Gondwanaland, so was warmer and host to a large number of dinosaurs, such as the theropod Cryolophosaurus, nicknamed “Elvisaurus” for its phenomenal crest.

Right to begin with, yes, three figures by Linde are already thoroughly represented on this blog, the Tyrannosaurus, Sphenacodon and Dimetrodon. But for the sake of completeness I include those three in this review aswell.
Review: Dino Skulls (Toob by Safari Ltd.)
4.2 (29 votes)
From the savage teeth of tyrannosaurs to the intimidating horns of ceratopsians to the endearing crests of hadrosaurs and to the peculiar noggins of pachycephalosaurs, dinosaur skulls truly are stupendous. I previously reviewed Safari’s toob of prehistoric mammal skulls; now I’ll be looking at their Dino Skulls toob.

With only two weeks left for the Beasts of the Mesozoic ceratopsian series campaign (as of this writing), it’s about time I got to writing perhaps the last of my reviews of these figures. either until I acquire more of the raptors or until I can get my hands on the ceratopsians.

Back in May 2019, the Dual Attack Allosaurus and Nasutoceratops toys began showing up on shelves at Walmart, which caught people by surprise, as no images of these had been revealed online beforehand.

This review is of a toy I distinctly remember seeing in a store and asking my mom to buy some time in the early 1990s’; it looked like a big, bad killer dinosaur, much fiercer than the others on the shelf.

In addition to preserving their anatomy, fossils can also show us how organisms behaved. One example of this is the Chinese troodontid Mei long, the type fossil of which is a complete juvenile specimen preserved in a sleeping position.

Review and photos by Bokisaurus
Tyrannosaurus rex is without a doubt the most famous dinosaur of all time. He is also one of the biggest, and for a while the largest predatory theropod found to-date.He has held that distinction for decades and still do so to some extent today.

A humid spring morning finds A’tahsaia striding through the trees, following her nose toward the familiar and irresistible scent of rank meat. Arriving at the forest’s edge, she sights a small herd of torosaurs wading and drinking in the shallows of a river.

This is my first guest review here on the DinoToyBlog. Ever since my mom started throwing out stuff from her attic, I’ve been trying to save my old dinosaur toys, and as a long time DTB reader, I thought it would be a good opportunity to see if I had something that hasn’t been covered here before.
Review: Baryonyx (2019)(Deluxe by CollectA)

Review and photographs by Patrx
To me, Baryonyx is the quintessential British dinosaur. Perhaps a more classic taxon like Iguanodon or Megalosaurus really deserves the top spot, but there’s something about Baryonyx that stands out in my mind as inescapably British, and I think this is very likely to do with the fact that, for a long time, the best Baryonyx toy available was the classic monochrome rendition produced by Invicta Plastics for the British Museum.
Review: Therizinosaurus (2018 Repaint)(Conquering the Earth by Schleich)

Review and photos by ‘Resurrection of the dinosaurs,’ edited by Suspsy.As I wrote a review about a repainted figure in my last review for the DTB, I figured I would finish reviewing repainted figures instead of skipping to other ones. So here I am with the Schleich ‘Conquering the Earth’ 2018 repainted Therizinosaurus.
