Review: Xtractaurs (Mattel)
Review and photos by Charles Peckham, edited by Suspsy
I don’t own all the Xtractaurs, and I’m not sure if anyone does, but I feel I’ve been able to amass enough to give a decent overview of the series. Anyone who wants to review an individual Xtractaur for the Dinosaur Toy Blog, included in this review or otherwise, has my blessing.
Review: Yangchuanosaurus (Dapeng) (Prehistoric Animal Models by PNSO)
Review: Yangchuanosaurus (Dinosaur King by Sega)
When companies add dinosaurs to a franchise, be it a game, show or book, they often want to make them as bright and eye catching as possible so that people will buy the merchandise. This often ignores any colouring that may be what they actually looked like, as it would be too subdued.
Review: Yangchuanosaurus (Dinosaurs of China by Safari Ltd)
Review: Yangchuanosaurus (Jurassic World: Dominion, Massive Action by Mattel)
Yangchuanosaurus is a genus of metriacanthosaurid that lived during the middle and late Jurassic in China. In appearance it would have looked very much like Allosaurus. Yangchaunosaurus shows up in the collectable market periodically and several figures represent the species, including the Safari Dinosaurs of China figure and a recent model by PNSO.
Review: Yangchuanosaurus and Chungkingosaurus Diorama (PNSO Scientific Art Models)
Review and photos by Bokisaurus
An air of nervousness engulfs the once serine scene at the forest edge. Herds of herbivores that just minutes ago were busy playing, eating, and calling to each other now stood silently still, on high alert. Their sudden change in behavior is warranted.
Review: Yi qi (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)
Review: Young Tyrannosaurus Aaron (PNSO)
When it comes to Tyrannosaurus rex, the first image that comes to mind is that of a snarling, blood-thirsty animal. As famous as it is, unfortunately in pop culture films and images, it is often depicted as a villain, a killer that is always on a rampage killing any helpless animal on its way.
So, the description of being cute is not often associated with it.

Review: Yutyrannus (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
Review and photos by Faelrin, edited by Suspsy
Yutyrannus is both one of my favorite theropods and favorite dinosaurs in general these days. I still remember coming across an online news article about it back in early 2012 and being excited to see that they finally found a large feathered dinosaur.
