Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Bendable by UKRD)
Review and photos by Funk, edited by Suspsy
Yet another Tyrannosaurus toy review you say? Well, this one is unlike most others, and is rather baffling in some of its design choices, so there should be enough novel things to say about it. It’s the UKRD bendable Tyrannosaurus, part of a 1992 line that seemed to be rubbery versions of the UKRD dinosaurs that existed in more standard versions of roughly the same size, but in rigid poses of harder plastic.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Blue Ocean Entertainment Exclusive by Schleich)

Gimmick toys have long been a go-to strategy for publishers of children’s magazines to get their readers to buy their issues. The concept has also been introduced to Germany in 1975 by the magazine Yps. Ever since gimmicks became a staple of magazines aimed at children, in many cases a toy draws more attention to a magazine issue than the actual content may on its own.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Boston Museum of Science Collection by Battat)
T. rex is without a doubt the most popular dinosaur ever. Therefore to make a replica that really stands out turns out to be quite a challenge. Battat achieved that and more. The Battat Rex is yellow and green, the mouth is purple, just like that of the Acrocanthosaurus.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Breakout Rex by Chronicle Collectibles)
Continuing on with Chronicle Collectibles’ offering of high-end JP items, today I have the highly anticipated Breakout Rex, which obviously is a reenactment of Rexy breaking out of her paddock in the first Jurassic Park.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (CamoXtreme series, Arctic version, Jurassic Park 3, by Hasbro)
All this buzz over the next instalment of the Jurassic Park franchise, officially now in production under the title of ‘Jurassic World’ and set for a 2015 summer release, has spurred me to take a look back at some of the toys from previous films. And, why not, speculate a little about what the future may hold for Jurassic Park action figures.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Carnage Dinosaurs by ReSaurus)
Welcome to another review by Emperor Dinobot! Today we’ll take a closer look at the Carnage ReSaurus Tyrannosaurus rex! This legendary figure is the easiest ReSaurus figure to find, and it fully delivers!
Those who know me know that I appreciate a fully articulated dinosaur figure.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Corpse by CollectA)
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Deluxe version, Procon/CollectA)
What a great improvement! So far, we’ve seen countless common and unheard of dinosaur names released by Procon (Now called CollectA), but due to the large amount of toys sold each year from this company, some will claim this affected the sculpt quality.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (DINO by Lego)
“I asked you not to call me that, Doc.”
“I cheerfully apologize, dear Beth. Now, can you guess what dinosaur we’ll be reviewing today?”
“Well gee, let me think.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Dino Kingdom 2012 by Kinto/Favorite Co. Ltd.)
Ah, Japan. A culture that seems to be equal parts tradition and progress. Fortuitously, when it comes to dinosaurs, progress seems to be their strong suit. If you’re looking for accurate, up-to-date dinosaur figures, Japanese companies like Kaiyodo, Kabaya, TakaraTomy, and Kinto/Favorite are often your best bet; and this Tyrannosaurus maquette from the 2012 Tokyo Dinosaur Kingdom Expo is no exception.
