If you’ve been enjoying Beasts of the Mesozoic and are looking forward to Cyberzoic, then why not help make Prehistoric Elephants a reality as well? The Backerkit campaign has officially commenced and will terminate at the end of the month. You’ve already seen the woolly mammoth adult and calf, the Gomphotherium, and the Platybelodon; now check out the concept art and prototype of the Moeritherium!

News: Upcoming release from Mattel (New for 2024)(Pt.28)
Yet another Jurassic World Legacy Reimagined set has shown up on Target’s website: Chopper Chase Pack.
It consists of a red and black Atrociraptor, an Asset Containment Unit pilot with helmet and weapon, and a projectile-firing helicopter of highly dubious flight capability.
The shark mouth motif on the chopper may be a homage to the Capture Copter from Kenner’s original Jurassic Park toy line.
News: Upcoming releases from Recur (New for 2024)(Pt.2)
In addition to their usual durable vinyl toys, Recur is finally breaking into the world of 1:35 scale PVC toys!
Elmer the Brachiosaurus.
Hoffmann the Mosasaurus.
Marsh the Triceratops.
These all look pretty nice. They are already available on AliExpress, and will hopefully be stocked by other online stores eventually.

The fourth figure for the Creative Beast/Eons Prehistoric Elephants line is none other than the famous “shovel tusker” Platybelodon! Here’s the concept art by Ross Persichetti.
And here’s the unpainted prototype for the actual figure. Looks fantastic!
And check out the 1/12 melanistic Smilodon for the Beasts of the Cenozoic series.

Well, that was quick. Here’s the painted prototype of the Creative Beast/Eons Prehistoric Elephants Gomphotherium!
Back when I was a child, prehistory books depicted Gomphotherium with brown fur all over. It seems a little less unusual now.
And check out these instructions for the Cyberzoic Razorhound armour that goes with the Achillobator.

Feast your eyes on the third proboscidean figure for the upcoming Prehistoric Elephants series by Creative Beast Studio and Eons!
Design drawing by Ross Persichetti.
Like the woolly mammoth we saw in our last entry, this figure will boast a heap of articulation. Can’t wait to see how it looks painted.

News: Upcoming release from Mattel (New for 2024)(Pt.26)
Now here’s some really cool news: Mattel has made the first ever toy of the North American elasmosaur Styxosaurus!
Apparently this will be in the same Gigantic Trackers wave as the Suchomimus. It is the first Jurassic World plesiosaur to have flippers that move as part of the action feature.
News: Upcoming release from Creative Beast Studio (New for 2024)(Pt.5)
Calling this a 2024 release is admittedly iffy, as 2025 is probably more likely, but anyway, here’s the painted prototype of the Creative Beast/Eons 1/18 scale woolly mammoth calf!
I really like how many different colours have gone into this furry little pachyderm, as woolly mammoth figures have historically been pretty bland in terms of colouration.
