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.

Heil, Frederik the Lokiceratops! This is the very first toy of the species, which was only announced to the world back in the summer of this year. The Norse god of mischief would be amused by that fantastic frill!

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!

For the first time in their history, Eofauna will be releasing a grand total of three toys next year. Check out this Columbian mammoth!
Very nice. The distinct lack of fur (save for perhaps a little on the cranium, it’s hard to tell) makes it stand out from Eofauna’s first proboscidean, the steppe mammoth.

Ye gods, can it really be?
Yes, it can.
Haolonggood is seriously releasing the biggest behemoth of them all (that we know of).
Argentinosaurus, people! When was the last time we got a toy of this one anyway?
This 1:35 scale mould measures a whopping 85 cm long and 50 cm tall, and weighs a staggering 8 kg.

Good news for those hoping to own an articulated 1/18 scale woolly mammoth figure: the campaign is presently at $176,643 USD, meaning just $8,357 is required for it to succeed!
The bad news is that the extended deadline is fast approaching. Collectors only have until October 10 to help make these magnificent mammoths a reality!

Yes indeed, the campaign has been extended to October 10, and as of this post, it is at $159,474 USD, meaning it just needs another $25,526 to achieve its goal!
Here are the add-ons and reward tiers. Those fossil magnets are pretty cool.

Many readers will be familiar with the Fauna Figures site set up by our very own Sean Bell in 2019. The blog was a follow up to his online store of the same name, and explores his extensive toy collection, which ranges broadly across time and taxa.

What’s this then? Haolongood has revealed images of a species that wasn’t shown on their big teaser poster earlier this year: Triceratops!
It appears that these two are based on “Yoshi’s Trike,” MOR 3027, which has the longest horns of any Triceratops specimen in proportion to its size (although it wasn’t fully mature when it died, so it may have grown into them more had it lived).

Eofauna’s second prehistoric toy for next year is yet another famous face: Ankylosaurus!
Granted, Ankylosaurus has had plenty of toys over the decades, but very few truly good ones. This definitely looks like a good one.
