Careful! If the Cenozoic has taught us anything, it's that once you let a rodent in, they completely take over.

My first review of 2023, the new CollectA Ruyangosaurus!

[Paleo Flo]

Awesome model indeed! It dwarfs the Mamenchisaurus easily! Wow!

[SidB]

And that's at 1/60 to 1/70 ish, give or take, I'm guesstimating, depending on which specimen you take. A 1/35 to 1/40 would have been unmanageable, likely. I'll use it as a subadult, like the Papo Apatosaurus.

My first review of 2023, the new CollectA Ruyangosaurus!

https://dinotoyblog.com/2023/01/15/ruyangosaurus-deluxe-by-collecta/

Thanks for the review! Any comparison pics with Safari's Patagotitan by any chance?

[suspsy]

Afraid I don't own the Patagotitan. Or any of the 2022 Safari toys yet.

But based on the images I've seen, the Ruyangosaurus totally dwarfs it.

Not that we need another T.rex review, but here's a curious one anyway:

@Fembrogon , I appreciated your exploration of the none too distinct boundary between 'inspired' figures and outright rip- offs. Agreed, the border is often far from clear. It's quite easy to ascend a high horse and pontificate, but clearly there are gray areas.

Technically this isn't a new post on the Dinosaur Toy Blog, but it is a new review, as you'll see, so I think I'm justified sharing it here: https://dinotoyblog.com/plesiosaur-dinocrats/

Hey, close enough! Thanks for sharing, that was an enjoyable read.

In the photo with the two other metal rexes, what is the one on the right? I know the left one is the Ral Partha from the 90s.

Just a quick note to say I added a couple more pictures to the review to show the stamps variants and expanded the text slightly. I also noticed that while the 'Dinocrats' version is stamped "plesiosaur", the 'Toyway' version is stamped "Plesiosaurus", so I updated the title accordingly.
