In case you missed it: Stolpergeist's review of the Schleich magazine exclusive Velociraptor: http://dinotoyblog.com/2020/11/29/velociraptor-blue-ocean-entertainment-exclusive-by-schleich/
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Great review of a not so great figure.  My favourite shot is the one with the Tarbosaurus. Essentially the scientifically more accurate version of the Jurassic Park ending.
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

Great review of a figure I don't like that much.

Again a great review of an average figure.

Takama

I agree its average, Even for Modern Schleich Standards, (and thats Comeing from someone who bothers to collect them each year). Its one of those figures that i just forget Schleich even made. Its not a Gem, like there Kentrosaurus Figures, nor is outrageously bad like there Therizinosaurus. Its just somthing they made that i keep forgetting about until i look at my collection and see it.

By my count, CollectA has made half (3 of 6) of all Mapusaurus toys in existence. Really trying to corner the market!

Yeah, well it will help put them on the...Map

B @bmathison1972 Nice. Be glad to see that set finally get reviewed soon. Honestly if it weren't for my backlog of reviews to do, and the fact it could be quite some time before it is in my hands (I had it shipped to my friend in Germany as it would be cheaper and quicker to send to him, and he is holding a bunch of Mattel stuff for me currently), I would have gotten to it possibly. It is long overdo for being reviewed.

On a similar note has the Kaiyodo Diplocaulus gotten a review yet? Cause that's another that could use one.

The Beasts of the Mesozoic rise, with the Kickstarter exclusive Monoclonius

I am holding out for the Pentaceratops and the Torosaurus myself, but it's great to see the first BotM ceratopsian review on the DTB! Now we need more reviews so that the poor Monoclonius isn't lonely among all the raptors!

I would love to see the Torosaurus in person. Affording it is the question. Yeah, hopefully more of the herd comes to fend off the ravenous raptors.

Based on the Dad-level of this joke, you must have many children.

Yeah, I hadn't realized that when I expressed interest in it earlier, I had 'claimed' it LOL, and that you guys were waiting for me.  8)

Anyway I am chugging along. Four species down, four to go!

All my children are made of PVC and sitting on shelves :). I never understood where the term 'dad joke' came from, must be some social media-derived term. I have been a horrible punster my whole life hahahahaha
