Only two more to go

First comes the I.Rex and then the Fakosaurus Stegoceratops

[CityRaptor]

To be fair, the Stegoceratops was planned to be in the movie at some point:

4. Trevorrow's Son Nixed The Stegoceratops

One dino-hybrid that didn't make it past the InGen drawing board was the stegoceratops: half stegosaurus, half triceratops, all get-the-heck-out-the-way. Trevorrow culled it from his script but not before Hasbro had enshrined it in toy form.

"In an earlier draft there was a scene where Chris [Pratt] and Bryce [Dallas Howard] come across another hybrid in the jungle. It informed them that Dr. Wu has been making other hybrids under her nose. Then my six-year-old son watched Return Of The Jedi, and said to me, 'Dad, if Leia is also a Jedi that means that Luke isn't unique.' It was like, 'Ha! Okay.' And for some reason I applied that to this other thing and felt like there could be only one [hybrid dinosaur]. The idea that there was more than one made it feel less like the one synthetic among all the other organics, and suddenly it seemed entirely wrong to have it in the movie. I suddenly hated the idea but the toy still exists as a kind of remnant because Hasbro toys are locked a year out."

Kinda funny  that two of the better Bashers ( Pachy & Anky ) are unpopular with the kids. Of course it is because they want monstrous carnivores...

The Ankylosaurus is hard for me to find around here for some reason.   I snatched mine up as soo as it came in stock.   But Every store i been too had at least two or more Pachys

My review of the Wild Safari Plesiosuchus:
http://dinotoyblog.com/2016/01/29/plesiosuchus-wild-safari-by-safari-ltd/

Friends, I'm happy to announce that this month has seen the posting of no less than 28 reviews, a new record for the Dinosaur Toy Blog! Congratulations to all my fellow reviewers, regular and guest!

Tomorrow, the wife and I are off to St. Lucia for our honeymoon! I won't be writing or posting any reviews during that time, as I am not insane and I value my marriage. See you all in about a week!

Congratulations. But are you sure you're not going to try to sneak a few reviews in while your wife is asleep? Maybe lock yourself in the bathroom with a laptop? Turn the shower on so she can't hear your fingers hitting the keys?

A wife knows. A wife always knows.

Unfortunately, a review for something a bit more recently extinct.

Thanks for adding the link.  I totally forgot it.  I must have been more tired than I thought last night.

Hey friends! The wife and I are back from our wonderful honeymoon in St. Lucia! It's nice to be back home again, although I reckon one or two more days of sitting in the sun by the swimming pool, facing the beach, would have suited us well.

Anyhoo, there's a lot of new toy reviews to be posted this week, starting with my 80th!

Welcome back!  I hope you and your wife had a great trip.

Well, ehm, nice to see you´re reviewing again!
