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.
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.
Haolonggood has released a most exciting teaser image of upcoming products. Check it out!
They have not officially released any names, but the genera appear to be:
Top row, left to right: Mamenchisaurus, Huayangosaurus, Amargasaurus, Camarasaurus, Tarchia.
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.
It has taken more than a decade but last week we launched the Animal Toy Blog, a sister site to the Dinosaur Toy Blog. The focus there, of course, is on extant creatures: those living today.
There are currently six regular reviewers headed by bmathison1972, and the site already has a dozen reviews published, plus many more in the pipeline.
Did you know that the Dinosaur Toy Blog has a channel on Youtube? Well, it does. I originally launched it two years ago to experiment with video reviews of dinosaur toys, but it has evolved into something slightly more variable. The channel features several types of videos arranged in playlists.

The Dinosaur Toy Forum – the official forum of The Dinosaur Toy Blog – was launched this month as a place for dinosaur toy collectors and enthusiasts to share and discuss their collections and to talk about dinosaur toys in general. Please feel free to browse the posts and we look forward to you joining in the discussions!
