February 2015 was a truly bumper month for reviews! Thanks to all the authors, it is great too see the blog so active!

Its not a competition, but I have to admit, every time Tallin and Suspsy put up another review this past month, I thought to myself,  I better get moving on the reviews that I was thinking about doing.  I wasn't even planning or thinking about the Woolly Mammoth!  February was a fun month, with great reviews (minus the 4 that were done by me, that would be incredibly self-serving ), pictures and comments.  As the temperatures warm in the north and the ground begins to thaw, I wonder what reviews March will bring.....

Great review to kick the month off!

[Dinomike]

Thank you Suspy! A great review again! I bought a lot of JP toys and got the Pteranodon along with bunch. First I was a bit meh about it but it has won me and my kids over. It its this creature that flies over and rescues Alan Grant (my son), Ian Malcolm (daddy) and the CollectA scale figure (my daughter) from the jaws of a T.rex or Triceratops gone berserk. So he's more or less the good guy! A great and fun toy - and extremely durable too.

Great review Suspsy to start of the month of March.  I'll be honest, I am one of the few people who found the JP line, too childish, when I was a kid.  I wanted the line to be a little better.  Outside of a couple that I thought were realistic looking ish, and the small die-cast one's, I just didn't bother with most of the toys.  What can I say, I was young, idealistic, and foolish!

And now for an actual dinosaur from Jurassic Park:

Naturally we would both post a review on the same day. I apologize for pushing yours down a notch already but I'm sure it will still get the attention it deserves. Great review BTW, I always enjoy your reviews even if they are few and far between these days.

The Safari Nasutoceratops is up, FINALLY, as promised. Sauropelta will arrive shortly.

Please I'd like a review of the new Safari Archaeopteryx.

Please I'd like a review of the new Safari Archaeopteryx.

I would like one too! And maybe someday I'll write one myself, but I don't have it. I'm sure it will be covered by someone eventually.

The blog is doing really well.

Just something I've been thinking about- I hope one day we can see more reviews of kits and high-end statues. Has anyone thought of reviewing the SS Mosasaur? I enjoyed Dan's older reviews of the Foulkes kits. I wouldn't mind seeing those make a comeback.

[DinoLord]

I would review the SS Mosasaur if I owned it. I agree reviews of higher end pieces like the SS line are nice, though with kits things get a bit tricky because a lot of how they look (posing, color, etc.) comes down to the specific buildup.

My first truly negative review.

I can't believe that this is rated worse (3 Stars), than the terrible Schleich Version (3.5. Stars) !

All that says to me is basically,either someone is rigging the ratings on these reviews,or more people are wrong in their opinions than not.
That's why you shouldn't pay attention to the ratings.

That's too bad about your raptor, I've never had stability issues with either of mine. It must be a quality control issue.
