Most wanted reviews?

Funk · January 30, 2025, 12:45:00 PM

When scrolling through the pages and categories of the blog, there are some figures I don't have, but long wanted to read about here, so I thought it could be cool if we could list requests along those lines, in case some reviewers are sitting on them.

As for my most wanted review requests, they would be:

Tyco Smilodon - I had a friend who owned this, and I was very in awe!

Tyco Pachyrhinosaurus - such a bizarre toy, I never saw it in real life, but would love to read about it.

Jurassic Park Quetzalcoatlus - I had the Pteranodon that was based on this, but I would really like to read about the original.

And less specific, I'd really like to see more reviews about the pre-Mattel Jurassic Park figures.

We absolutely need reviews of the remaining Tyco toys: the Chasmosaurus and the woolly mammoth as well as the two listed above.

Great idea for a topic! Sometimes it's difficult to know what to review next so if there's a demand for a specific figure it can help us to decide. In my case, if anyone wishes to request a review of a specific plesiosaur figure, I have most of them at hand.

I would love to see the pages filled for any company that has stopped producing figures so that we can have access to their entire range. We already do for some companies, like Battat, but I would honestly like to see variants on there too, which are important to a lot of collectors. Sure, the Battat Dilophosaurus is on there, but the original version with the base isn't. I think only variant 3 of the T. rex is on there too.

Among more recent figures I wish there were more reviewers keen to write about the large sauropods by Haolonggood. Us regular reviewers don't appear to collect them, someone that does needs to step up.

I agree about including variants. We've even started to feature colour variants in certain cases where it feels justified.

It's ironic, I must admit: I've been one of the people delighted to see more, giant toys of sauropods getting made, but now I lack the money and space to collect most of them (if I ever had those at all).

I like this thread idea, too. You never know what hidden gems people might be waiting for to get featured here.

Oh I actually have some of those. I need to get through the reviews I have already signed up for, but if those haven't been claimed by then I might be able to help out.

Oh, I know you do! And you have a collection of curiosities unlike that of anyone else on the forum. It would be most gracious of you to share them on the blog and help bulk it up, especially some of the fishes that you say need more representation.

Actually, I do have the Tyco Chasmosaurus. Alas, without armour and figure. Would it still be okay to review it without all that?

Absolutely it is okay!

I'm not sure that any of the Tyco reviews have the armor and figure. None of the ones I reviewed did.
