Thanks! I'll look into that

As for the figure, there's a few I've considered but one of the first is probably the Sonokong Ophthalmosaurus or the Galoob Micro Machines fossils mini set.

The one with the trike skull? I'd be so happy to see this and any related  nat geo toys get reviewed.


Speaking of odd toys, I...have a surprise, But I need to know if there is anything planned for the next 2 days, I don't wanna mess up.

Not the Trike skull, but the Protoceratops, Ceratosaurus, and Eudimorphodon skeletons. The latter of which is exciting because it's one of the very few Eudimorphodon figures I know of and the only one I actually own.

avatar_crazy8wizard @crazy8wizard I am seriously looking forward to this review.

Well, it looks like this one has a brief, but very much published review on the blog. Might have to do that Ophthalmosaurus then.

And by pure coincidence, the two sets I own are the two featured in this review lol. Oh well

Better luck next time. I'm working on a few reviews myself to distract myself.
Keep lookin'. You never know what's missing from the dino-dex.


Brontozaurus



I was thinking about reviewing some of the figures I bought over in Japan (see above image). Specifically I was thinking of the Yamasan Fukuivenator & Kamuysaurus, the Qualia 'Spinosauridae' and TakaraTomy's ANIA Fukuivenator and Fukuiraptor. I actually have a review of the Fukuiraptor ready to go, if it's up for grabs.

I also got the Fukui museum exclusive versions of Fukuisaurus and T. rex, but both of those have already been reviewed in their standard colours so I don't know if my opinion would add much.

Definitely submit the Fukuiraptor.

Quote from: Primeval12 on April 22, 2024, 01:43:58 AMHas anybody reviewed this guy yet? I have the figure and am willing to review it (though it might take time with my schedule)


That's the Sinopliosaurus, right? avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres is supposed to be tackling that one. But if you want to do Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Lythronax, Sinraptor, or King Cameron himself, please do!

I have a pretty large backlog, so if avatar_Primeval12 @Primeval12 wants to take this one off my plate I don't have any objection.

I can try! Mine decided to go base jumping off my shelf so it's scuffed but I can still review it :)

Funk

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I just got the Primal Rage Diablo figure and was thinking of reviewing it. But it turns out it's the exact same sculpt as the Sauron figure from the game, just red instead of yellow, and with slightly different stripes (granted, that's their only difference in the game too). Sauron has already been reviewed herew: https://dinotoyblog.com/sauron-primal-rage-by-playmates/

So I was wondering whether people think Diablo warrants a review too?

BlueKrono

avatar_Funk @Funk Sure, people review repaints as they're released by companies. It might not have to be as in depth (you could link to the other review), but these are two different characters. And perhaps you have a few insights the other review doesn't have. Go for it!

avatar_Funk @Funk I'd appreciate it. Diablo was my favorite next to Talon growing up, and is one I'm still behind on picking up again (my original childhood toys were in my parents storage unit and got auctioned off decades ago. I picked up most of the figures a few years back).

I'd be interested to see what you have to say about that figure, repaint or not.

Can I review the BOtM Qianzhousaurus? I just got it and am quite impressed!  :)

As far as I can tell, no one has reserved it yet. You should be good to go.

Primeval12

Cool, gimme a few weeks and I can scrap something together. :)
