You already met Xana a few years ago; now meet Xilin, PNSO’s new and improved take on Wuerhosaurus!
Really liking those bold blue streaks on Xilin’s plates, an excellent touch! PNSO really does excel at stegosaurs in particular.

As you can see, this toy features some heavy articulation, including a jointed tongue and a flexible tail.
And the second new addition is the Therizinosaurus.

Showanna has revealed their upcoming 1:35 scale PVC model of RSM P2523.8, better known as “Scotty,” presently the biggest Tyrannosaurus rex specimen to have been formally described (there are other fragmentary specimens which could be even larger).
Beautifully sculpted, big and beefy-looking, dotted with battle scars, and boasting an articulated lower jaw, Scotty looks every part the undisputed sovereign of their world.

Creative Beast Studio has recently released a number of tantilizing images for Beasts of the Mesozoic and Cyberzoic. First up are in-package shots of the Achillobator and Utahraptor.
The packaging artwork is nothing short of superb as always.
And here are catalog shots for the Allosaurus jimmadseni, with and without its Tech Clan armour and pilot.

Make way for the monumental Mamenchisaurus, all three of them! Yes, as with their Alamosaurus, Haolonggood is offering another trio of titans.
I definitely like the blue version best myself.
But be warned, just one of these behemoths will set you back a bundle of money and a heap of display space!

We now have our first officially revealed figure from that wonderful teaser poster that Haolonggood dropped earlier this month and it’s none other than the formidable ankylosaurid Euoplocephalus!
Old timers will recall that Euoplocephalus had a fairly decent number of toys back during the 80s and 90s, but then that well dried up—until now.

Mattel’s latest take on Tyrannosaurus rex is the “All Out Attack” toy. The colour scheme is sadly nothing to wrote home about, however . . .
. . . this tyrant boasts a brand new ability: extending teeth. Yup, you read that right. The teeth in the upper jaw can extend to nearly twice their length.

Well, we now have confirmation on all the genera in that teaser image that Haolonggood released last month, and it turns out that the only error I made was identifying Saichania as Tarchia (kind of an easy one to make). This is indeed going to be a fun (and costly) year!

Mattel has revealed a fifth titan (sixth if you count the regular and Hammond Collection Brachiosaurus toys separately) for their Jurassic World Legacy Collection and it’s one that has never featured in any of the movies before: Diplodocus!
The slated release date is September.

4.3 (45 votes)
Eofauna announced earlier today that production of their Tyrannosaurus SUE figure is at last complete and that it is en route to their warehouse with a projected arrival date of May. Check out the detail in that huge and lethal mouth. Better than the usual straight pink that we’re accustomed to seeing in theropod mouths.

Over the last four years, we’ve gotten toys of Edmontosaurus from Safari, CollectA, Schleich, and PNSO. Now Haolonggood is throwing its hat into the ring with these two beauties.
Like those other toys, these ones feature combs atop their craniums, thereby implying that they represent E.

It’s been awhile since the last PNSO reveal, but now check out Yiran the Lufengosaurus.
The light green coloration looks very sharp. And it’s always great to see a new basal sauropodomorph figure.

Middle row, left to right: Gastonia, Euoplocephalus, Maiasaura, Stegosaurus, Edmontosaurus.

With only 1,631 backers in the end (5,000 were required just to unlock the gates and the vehicle), there’s no two ways about it: Mattel’s crowdfund for Jurassic Park: The Gates has been a decisive and disappointing failure. Many collectors are dearly hoping that the Bull T.

There are currently six regular reviewers headed by bmathison1972, and the site already has a dozen reviews published, plus many more in the pipeline.
