The mating season has come around once again. The bees are buzzing, the birds are chirping, and Clock is positively champing at the bit. For days, he roamed the bluffs in a fruitless search for a female. He failed to mate at all last season and his increasing desperation has now driven him to descend deep into the forest.

Review: Huayangosaurus (Haolonggood)

The Haolonggood Huayangosaurus was a figure originally teased on the 2024 Haolonggood announcement poster and since it’s a genus for which figures are few and far between a lot of collectors were eager to acquire one, me included. But then came the bad news, the Huayangosaurus was a bonus figure included with the Argentinosaurus pre-order.
Review: Edmontonia (Haolonggood)

Out of all the exciting releases unveiled by Haolonggood in 2023, there were few I anticipated more than the nodosaur Edmontonia, which began arriving to vendors in June. Named after the Edmonton (Horseshoe Canyon) Formation in Canada where the type species was discovered, Edmontonia isn’t one of the most famous dinosaurs, nor even necessarily one of my own favorites; yet it’s known from enough substantial fossil remains to make common appearances in dinosaur literature growing up (especially in Dorling Kindersley publications, featuring the Royal Tyrrell Museum’s life model).

Review: Stegosaurus (‘Cartoon Series’ by Wing Crown / Gosnell)

Review and photos by Hubert, edited by DinoToyBlog
Continuing with our overview of the 7 inch Cartoon Series by Wing Crown, Stegosaurus is next in line. Like the others in the series, this is simplified in its ‘early tetrapod’, just-walked-out-from-the-water form, with no anatomical intricacies to be found beyond the obligatory plates and tail spikes.
Review: Gastonia (Haolonggood)

Gastonia was discovered in the Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah, USA. It lived during the Early Cretaceous period from 139 to 134.6 million years ago and is one of the very best known nodosaurids. Its name honours Robert Gaston, an American paleontologist and the CEO of Gaston Design, Inc., which makes and sells skeletal replicas of various dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.

Review: Stegosaurus (Haolonggood)

I’ve been in the dinosaur collecting hobby for about 14 years now and this hobby has evolved rapidly within that time. In 2010 most collectors were content to just get good models of their favorite genera. Nowadays, a figure of a genus isn’t enough, collectors want dinosaurs identifiable at the species level.
