I've also finally gotten around to updating my review of the 2017 Wild Safari T. rex to reflect the recent Bell/Persons paper:

If something has been reviewed can it ever be re-reviewed? Specifically I'm talking about the Play Visions amphibians set - it was reviewed a few years ago as a set, with only one photo and a short paragraph devoted to each. I'd like to do a full review of the Gerrothorax. Its paragraph in the original describes it as "a mixture between a blue-raspberry gumball and an axolotyl [sic]", says there's nothing wrong with the anatomy (far from true, but not obvious until you see the underside), and denigrates the color scheme, concluding with, "Oh well. Next!" I'd have a little bit more to say, and include numerous pictures. Is this ever done, or is it rather discouraged? It seems to me in general there are a lot of figures in sets that are reviewed that could stand for their own individual review.

Good job! I for one would like to see more child-oriented dinosaur toys on the blog. It adds variety and potentially expands the audience.

I think it is an adorable critter. The color scheme kind of reminds me of a koopa from the Mario games. Looks like it would fit along fine alongside the JP Junior toys.

Good news, I have another kid friendly one coming up.  Bad news its from Jurassic World.

Your right, it sort of does have a koopa look.

Nice to see you back.

That Gigantspinosaurus is very well sculpted and detailed, I hope Collecta will make a deluxe Stegosaurus in the near future.

CollectA already has a Deluxe Stegosaurus. It's a bit outdated now, but not bad.

Yes I know, I meant I hope they make a new one, on par with the quality of their latest releases.

I agree a new one would be great as I am not a fan of the old one.  Looks ok in a picture but up close, not so much.  Just my opinion.
