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.

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.
CollectA’s first two reveals for next year are most exciting indeed! Feast your eyes on the very first toy of Furcatoceratops!
And look, no more filaments on the hindquarters! This ceratopsian will be part of the Popular series.
And here’s the Deluxe 1:20 scale Jaekelopterus, biggest of all known arthropods!
First off, sorry for the image quality, I’ll replace them as soon as better ones become available, but wowsa! Mattel sure has some rare and unusual genera in store for us next year!
Hypsilophodon. Been a very long time since this little herbivore got a toy.
Here’s yet another addition to the popular Hammond Collection: the “Ghost” Atrociraptor.
And here’s the Roar Command Tyrannosaurus rex. According to the packaging, you’ll be able to record your own roaring sounds and then have the toy play it back. Sounds like it could be fun!
Among the Jurassic World toys for next year are these four from the Danger Pack series. First up is a repack of the 2022 Ferocious Pack Dimetrodon.
Next up, a repaint of the 2022 Dsungaripterus.
Here’s where it gets really interesting: Lophostropheus, a French coelophysoid that lived during the boundary between the Late Triassic and the Early Jurassic.
Extending the deadline to October 10 proved to be a smart move, as the campaign has now surpassed its $185,000 USD minimum goal. The 1/18 scale woolly mammoth adult and calf and the 1/35 scale adult toys will become reality. This is excellent news indeed!
However, with less than 48 hours to go, it is practically a given that none of the stretch goals will be met.
