Announcing... Animal Toy Blog

[DinoToyForum]

It had to happen eventually, I suppose! Today we launched the Animal Toy Blog, which is being run by B @bmathison1972 and myself, with support from Authors @SBell @Ravonium (Badger) and Beetle guy.

http://www.animaltoyforum.com/blog/

It is a sister site to the Dinosaur Toy Blog, in the same way the Animal Toy Forum is a sister to this forum. The holy trinity of DTB, DTF, ATF, has become the holy quaternity!

It still needs to be fleshed out a little but the first reviews are already posted, and we're also accepting guest reviews and suggestions for regular reviewers. Discussion is here: http://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?topic=2494.0

I actually have a number of extant animal figures I bought for my son that I could review!

You'd be most welcome! It would be nice change for you to be on the contributing end of a guest geview, rather than the receiving end!

I don't really collect animal toys but I have enough of them that I could contribute a nice assortment of reviews.

It's especially nice in that, since I'm only posting reviews to the DTB once a month, I finally have more writing to do! I'm going to begin with three of the Southlands Replicas toys, but I won't be able to start writing until next week, as I'm currently on vacation in the Maritimes.

Enjoy the summer holidays suspsy.

This is good news! I think the ATB will fill a much needed gap. Good luck!

I've been expanding my extant animal collection a lot lately, it's actually quite a bit bigger than my dinosaur toy collection. Yet so far I have never used the animal toy forum. With the addition of a blog, maybe now it's the time to look into it! I don't know if I'm very good at writing reviews though, I've never written any before.

I hope this means you'll contribute :-D (assuming you have extant critters too!)

Yes, join us!

I have a couple Safari Ltd figures (turkey, bald eagle, elk, muskox, and the older bison), and one of the older Schleich wolf models. Assuming none of these have been claimed yet, I would like to contribute with reviewing some of them, if not at least one of them. I will certainly be following this blog, since I do enjoy extant animal figures as well.

yes, please contribute! We have just begun so no one has showed interest in any of the figures you've mentioned.

Indeed, it's a free for all!

The Animal Toy Blog is really taking shape quickly!



Thanks to all the authors and guests who have contributed so far!

I still have one more Southlands Replicas toy to contribute, and then a bunch of sea creatures from CollectA and Safari.

Over 40 animal  toy reviews already and the blog is barely a month old! http://animaltoyforum.com/blog/

Lots of sharks and hyenas on that first few pages.

You can blame Suspsy and I for the shark reviews, blame Sbell for the hyenas. Although let the record show, I wrote the FIRST hyena review on the ATB. 

EDIT: You should be happy there aren't any horse reviews yet.

I still have one more shark review that hasn't been posted yet!

I have several but I guess I should hold off on the shark reviews in the interest of blog diversity.
