Alas, poor Troodon. Beginning in the late 1980s and continuing all the way into the 2010s, it was widely hailed as the smartest dinosaur of them all. It became a fixture of books, documentaries, and films in which it was frequently depicted as a swift, graceful, big-eyed predator that hunted down small mammals in the night. And who can...
Review and photos by EmperorDinobot, edited by Suspsy Hello everybody! We all know and love the myth, the dinosaur, the legendary Troodon, and I, Emperor Dinobot will now proceed to give some thoughts to the Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous Attack Pack toy by Mattel! I may be a Jurassic fan, but I have to admit that I have never played...
Review and photographs by Loon, edited by Suspsy. Given their inability to articulate, most dinosaur figures are often posed neutrally. After all, there are only so many adventures a kid can take a sleeping dinosaur on. Luckily, the Paleo-Creatures line isn’t aimed at kids, so just like PNSO, they have released a resting Mei long. The Jeff from The Wiggles of...
Review and photos by Ravonium, edited by Suspsy 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. While this position has some significant implications (more on that later), only Paleo-Creatures (2017)...
Anchiornis huxleyi was only described a decade ago and yet has gone on to become one of the most well understood dinosaur species in recent memory. Hundreds of exceptionally well preserved fossils of this late Jurassic paravian have been found in the bone beds of Liaoning, China. These fossils are so well preserved that they give us one of the...
Review and photos by Faelrin, edited by Dinotoyblog It has been a long wait, but a worthwhile one. The Mountains Environment Accessory Pack is just one of many from the 1/6th scale Beasts of the Mesozoic: Raptor Series line, created by David Silva. It offers the first of its kind: scientifically accurate, highly articulated, and highly detailed dinosaur action figures....
Troodon is an animal that everyone with more than a passing interest in dinosaurs knows about but few people count among their favorites. It’s featured prominently in books and documentaries due mostly for its large brain to body ratio but is otherwise typically regarded as a small, underwhelming dinosaur; similar to dromaeosaurs but not quite as cool and too small...
Review and photos by Stargatedalek (unless otherwise stated), edited by Plesiosauria. First off I’d like to start off my first review with a brief apology. I promised this review months ago, but between initial delays and my repeatedly putting it off [plus some tardiness on our part too – Ed] I’m only just now getting around to it. I like...
Time to look at another one of the Walking with Dinosaurs the Movie 3D action figures, this time, Troodon. Previously we have reviewed the standard sized Gorgon and standard sized Patchi. Some of these standard-sized action figures are available in multi packs, but the Troodon figure is only available separately. According to the blurb on the box, “Troodon is a...
Review by Stefan Schröder (alias Libraraptor) This Invicta Stenonychosaurus/ Troodon is already 21 years old and still one of the best coelurosaur reconstructions that have ever been made. I really like this very credible sculpture for it has many details which are not obvious at first sight. Since the scale is larger than the typical Invicta scale they could afford...
