Review: Dinosaur Excavation no. 7 (Capsule MiniQ Museum by Kaiyodo)

4.7 (20 votes)

This set of reissued figurines offers an updated, good-quality variety of animals for collectors who might have missed earlier releases.

Kaiyodo’s miniature dinosaur lines might be among the very best in the market, even with more and more high-end companies entering the scene in recent years. It’s a shame that acquiring Kaiyodo’s figurines hasn’t gotten any easier for collectors outside of Japan – especially in the wake of the 2020 pandemic, and the ensuing shipping bottlenecks which have only made imported goods all the more expensive.

For those of you not into LEGO, LEGO Ideas is a website where users share their builds and, provided the goal of 10,000 supporters is achieved within a time frame, the build has a chance of getting put into production.

Review: Dinosaur Habitats with Dimetrodon, Elasmosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus (Playland Books)

Review and photos by Charles Peckham, edited by Suspsy

Dinosaur Habitats is described as a book, but it’s not bound with pages in the traditional sense. Rather, it stretches out like an accordion to reveal three pop-up displays that each include a paragraph talking about the geological period and area they represent.

Review and photos by Rebecca O’Neill, edited by Dinotoyblog.

This group of ten novelty, cartoonish dinosaurs were purchased on Ebay in 2018, and don’t seem to be available anymore. Very much in the style of The Land Before Time or Dinosaurs the television show from the 1990s, they are a variety of well known dinosaurs rendered in a caricature form.

Review: Dinosaur Set with Cave (Schleich)

Genus: Archaeopteryx, Carnotaurus, Microraptor, Quetzalcoatlus, Tyrannosaurus Brand: Schleich Classification: Ceratosaur, Dromaeosaur, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous, Jurassic Type: Figurine, Playset

Hidden by vines streaming down the rock face, there can be found multiple fractures in the otherwise solid rock face. One opening was wide, big, and served as entrance to the cave. There was also a small hole further up on the wall that could let in a dim beam of light during the mid afternoon sun.

Thanks to the incredible team of Dr Bella Bricking and Beth Buildit most readers will be familiar with the certain incarnations of dinosaurs in the world of LEGO. Especially the figures released in the Jurassic World Franchise can achieve a serious price amongst collectors but there’s way more dinosaur figures in the LEGO universe than those.

Back in 2012 a representative from the toy vendor VictoryBuy joined the Dinosaur Toy forum looking for member feedback with regards to reissuing the Tim Mee set of toy dinosaurs, originally produced in the 1970’s. Flashforward to 2014 and VictoryBuy once again stopped by the forum, this time to announce the actual release of the set.

Review: Dinosaurs: Prehistoric Museum Collection, Series 2 (Larami Corp)

Genus: Apatosaurus, Plesiosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Brand: Larami, playset Classification: Ceratopsian, Chasmosaur, Diplodocoid, Plesiosaur, Sauropod, Theropod, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous, Jurassic Type: Figurine, Knock-off, Set

2.5 (15 votes)

Larami’s Museum set is looking pretty dated now, but it’s a charming playset all the same and one of the more memorable imitators out there.

It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; by that metric the dinosaur toy industry has been incredibly generous towards the leading toy brands.

Review: Discover Dinosaurs: Dino Cretaceous Vol. 1 by Colorata

Genus: Dsungaripterus, Gallimimus, Protoceratops, Pteranodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor Brand: Colorata, playset Classification: Ceratopsian, Chasmosaur, Ornithomimosaur, Pterosaur, Theropod, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine, Set

3.4 (13 votes)

Colorata’s first dinosaur set doesn’t hold up perfectly to modern science, but overall these are nicely made figures good for both play and display.
There seem to be regrettably few quality dinosaur playsets on the market these days, be it for adult collectors or kids. However, the number is not zero.

Photographs and review by Indohyus, edited by Suspsy
Nearly two years ago (tempus fugit!), I posted a review on the Discovery Kids smart animal four set and mentioned there were other sets released along with the four pack. Today, we look at the Cretaceous two pack, containing two species from the Late Cretaceous, the famed Tyrannosaurus rex and the ceratopsian Protoceratops.

Leapin’ lizards – that ain’t no ordinary lizard!!

If you had to choose just one of Charles R. Knight’s influential and iconic paleoart pieces as his very greatest work, which one would you pick? Out of all Knight’s incredible paintings, the one I personally find most captivating is the 1897 “Leaping Laelaps“, a vivid illustration of two large theropods pouncing upon each other in what could be either play-fighting or serious combat.

Review: Dryptosaurus (Jurassic World Dino Trackers, Wild Roar by Mattel)

Genus: Dryptosaurus Brand: Jurassic World, Mattel Classification: Theropod, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure Scale: 1:23

The late Cretaceous tyrannosauroid, Dryptosaurus, is a historically significant genus that due to the fragmentary nature of its preserved material has been largely forgotten and ignored. Dryptosaurus aquilunguis was one of the first theropods ever discovered and the first theropod discovered in the Americas.

Review: Eotyrannus (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)

As the Neovenator pair appears on the scene, the nesting Iguanodons begin rising to their feet and bellowing aggressively. The carnivores pace back and forth rapidly in front of them, jaws snapping and sharp eyes scanning for any discernible weaknesses as they attempt to panic the big herbivores into stampeding.

Review: Eotyrannus (CollectA)

Genus: Eotyrannus Brand: CollectA Classification: Theropod, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

1.5 (16 votes)

Eotyrannus, the “dawn tyrant,” was discovered in the fossil-rich Wessex Formation on the Isle of Wight, UK. It is one of the earliest known tyrannosaurs, and while it was a far cry from the likes of Tyrannosaurus rex, Tarbosaurus, and Zhuchengtyrannus, it must have been a formidable predator in its own right.
