Review no. 95, this time another model of Dimetrodn, the Revell re-release of the Aurora Sail Back.

Nice! Got any more of those kits?

This is the only one I currently own

Too bad! I don't own any more kits either and there's quite a few nifty ones out there.

I'd love for someone to review the Ankylosaurus, because it's the best physical rendition of the classic spiky version I've ever seen. Looks like it stepped straight off the pages of a dinosaur book full of Burian artwork.

The Dimetrodon meanwhile is pretty much based on Charles Knight's work:

And the Triceratops resembles the one from "One Million Years BC", with the Allosaurus also taking some cues from Harryhausen's work. Of course neither of those two are perfect matches.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Wow, some of those are really cool. The Carboniferous forest kit is killer.

Out of curiosity the carboniferous forest kit, what material is it made of? I am interested in that piece.

It's made from resin and it comes unassembled and unpainted. Probably not quite to your taste.

Thanks for the clarification, I was surprised that this wonderful set was made of PVC, some of that figured it out for me.

My compliments to avatar_Loon @Loon for his constructive criticism of the Safari qianzhousaurus. Great review and article. Photo credit is realistic and unforgiving.

By the way, Suspy was kind enough to add some extra images for my review on the Mojo Giganotosaurus
here http://dinotoyblog.com/2020/03/22/giganotosaurus-mojo-fun/#more-25320
these pictures are of better quality.
Thanks, Suspy
