Creative Beast Studio has shared a number of exciting sneak peeks this month. Here is the paint sample for the Beasts of the Mesozoic Cryolophosaurus. Pink is definitely its colour! And here’s the paint sample for Pachycephalosaurus. The detailing on the head is particularly impressive! Moeritherium didn’t make the cut for the Prehistoric Elephants series, but it will be showing...
Papo has announced that they will be retiring six of their prehistoric products this year: Giganotosaurus. Carnotaurus. Blue Oviraptor. Plesiosaurus. Brown running Tyrannosaurus rex. Therizinosaurus. So if you’re hoping to add any of those to your collection, better act while you still can!...
The first Haolonggood releases for the year are these two Acrocanthosaurus! As is often the case, it is difficult to determine which version is the more attractive. But both go well with the Sauroposeidon....
Lanqi the PNSO Lanzhousaurus looks like she’s very pleased and proud to be here. Lanzhousaurus is an Early Cretaceous styracosternan iguanodont from China. As far as I am aware, this is the very first toy of one....
TNG has officially revealed three new items for next year. The sauropodomorph Lufengosaurus looms tall and proud. The huge and horned mammal Arsinoitherium is also looking fine. And here is something we have not seen in a very long time: a plant! This is Alsophila spinulosa, the flying spider-monkey tree fern. It is an extant Asian plant that dates back...
Lots of new and interesting toys in this one. First we have the Muscle Madness Tyrannosaurus rex from the Jurassic World Survival line. Sounds like a pro-wrestler’s moniker. As you can see, it is quite different from any previous T. rex. Those electric blue stripes and pop-out tail spines are something. Quite the gape too! Next we have the Feel...
It’s been quite a time for reveals, hasn’t it? Here is the 2026 Papo Dunkleosteus, their first stab at the savage sea stabber. Naturally, it features an articulated jaw. And at some point next year, we should also be getting the Anhanguera, Yangchuanosaurus, and feathered Tyrannosaurus rex that were originally slated for this year....
Also joining the Mojo Fun ranks in 2026 is a new Spinosaurus with an articulated jaw. It’s a definite improvement over their previous one. But hopefully they will have something totally new and original in store for 2027 as opposed to improved versions of familiar faces. We shall just have to wait and see....
I’d say this still counts as a 2025 release: Schleich’s holiday collaboration with FAO Schwarz. Previously, they did a Tyrannosaurus rex and now they’ve done an even more elaborate Brachiosaurus. Very distinguished, especially with that headgear! Just imagine an entire regiment of them lined up on your shelf. But given that it’s an FAO Schwarz exclusive, don’t count on it...
Hugo wants to come home for the holidays! This is the first toy of the terrifying Taurovenator. I like how Hugo is posed in a crouching position, that’s a nice change. And of course, I like that he has lips!...
Fierce Dinosaur 31379 is LEGO Creator’s newest prehistoric-themed set. The main build is a rather retro Velociraptor with a boxy head and no feathers to speak of. And some Triceratops remains. One of the alternate builds is yet another Pteranodon, with matching remains. And the other alternate build is a Stegosaurus with what appears to be some Dimetrodon remains. I...
Mojo Fun’s prehistoric products have been slowly but steadily improving in recent years and here’s the latest proof: their 2026 Velociraptor. Good colour scheme? Check. Fine sculpting? Check. Scientifically accurate within reason? Check. Good work, Mojo Fun!...
