Playmobil’s DINOS line will continue into next year with more spiffy repaints of moulds that date all the way back to 2007.
Velociraptor.
Triceratops.
Spinosaurus.
But wait, here are two brand new dinosaurs! There’s Pachycephalosaurus/Stygimoloch.
And a revamped Brachiosaurus that looks like a major improvement over the old one.
The final CollectA reveals for next year have dropped, and they do not disappoint! First up is the massive megaraptoran Maip.
This 1:40 scale Deluxe measures 26 cm long and features a wound on its right shoulder. These are becoming a CollectA trademark.
No confirmation yet as to whether it will have an articulated lower jaw, but that will probably be the case.
Finally! A new Gallimimus toy for next year!
This 1:40 scale Deluxe toy strongly resembles a rooster, which is appropriate given that its name means “chicken mimic.”
And yes, it’s mounted on a base just like CollectA’s previous ornithomimosaur toys, but I have no issue whatsoever with that.
Have I mentioned that Recur has really improved as of late? Here’s their new Spinosaurus.
And this is their new Therizinosaurus, although it looks like it’s got the head of Deinocheirus. Odd.
And here’s more images of their previously revealed Tyrannosaurus rex.
Here’s something that ought to make any dedicated dinosaur fan sit up and take notice: the very first toy of Ingentia prima, the “first huge one,” courtesy of CollectA!
Ingentia was a basal sauropodomorph that lived in South America during the Late Triassic period.
We’ve launched a new website, the Monster Toy Blog!
The Monster Toy Blog is dedicated to monster toy and model reviews, and completes a Holy Toy-rinity of figure review sites together with our existing Dinosaur Toy Blog and Animal Toy Blog sites.

Our team of eight reviewers – EmperorDinobot, Faelrin, Gwangi, Saarlooswolfhound, SBell, Suspsy, Torvosaurus, and myself – have been beavering away with plenty of new content to kick the site off with a monstrous bang.
Mojo Fun has revealed a new prehistoric toy for next year: the Middle Jurassic plesiosaur Cryptoclidus.
Despite having appeared in the BBC Walking With Dinosaurs series back in 1999, Cryptoclidus has never gotten a toy from any of the major companies until now.
