There aren’t a lot of dinosaur toys on the market that specialize in articulation (David Silva’s Beasts of the Mesozoic line being the main shining exception right now), so the announcement of Mattel’s Amber Collection for their ongoing Jurassic World line was reason for excitement.
Type: Action Figure
Review: Pentaceratops (Jurassic World Dino-Escape, Mega Destroyers by Mattel)
Review: Dr. Wu’s Lab: Baby Dinosaurs Breakout (Jurassic World by LEGO)
Review: Kentrosaurus (Jurassic World Dino-Escape, Roar Attack by Mattel)
Review: Allosaurus (Kid Galaxy/Lontic by Happy Kin)

Although this DK-inspired poseable figure is alright as a generic theropod toy, it’s a pretty weak depiction of the iconic genus it’s meant to represent.
Dinosaur toy history is a relatively new endeavor of study, be it researching the origins of the hobby in the famous Marx line, or trying to catalogue the onslaught of brand-new models from PNSO.
Review: Chialingosaurus (Jurassic World Dino-Escape, Fierce Force by Mattel)
Review: Apatosaurus (Jurassic World Legacy Collection, by Mattel)
Review: Ouranosaurus (Jurassic World Dino-Escape, Roar Attack by Mattel)

With its tall neural spines similar to those of Spinosaurus, Ouranosaurus is one of the most unique and visually distinct species of ornithopods, and yet has remained relatively obscure. Many figures of the genus do exist with notable ones by Recur, CollectA, Schleich, and Starlux but they aren’t of particularly high quality or accuracy.
Review: Carcharodontosaurus (Jurassic World Dino-Escape, Mega Destroyers by Mattel)

It has been a good year for Carchorodontosaurus, as I mentioned in my review of the figure by PNSO. The PNSO figure, along with the one by GR toys, gave sophisticated collectors a fantastic, updated pair of “shark toothed lizards” to display and admire whilst sipping brandy by the fireside.
Review: Ankylosaurus (Bumpy) (Jurassic World Dino-Escape, Roar Attack by Mattel)

They grow up so fast! It was just over 13 months ago when I reviewed the bouncing baby Bumpy for the DTB and now here I am again with another Bumpy review. Only this time, Bumpy isn’t a baby anymore. When I reviewed that baby Bumpy, the animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous hadn’t even premiered yet, but I knew I had to have Bumpy in my collection because she was just so stinkin’ adorable.
Review: Fukuisaurus (ANIA by Takara Tomy)
Review: Gallimimus (Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Attack Pack by Mattel)

I reviewed the original Attack Pack Gallimimus back in 2018, with its sandy brown color tones, it was the first of many Gallimimus toys from Mattel. Indeed, the Attack Pack Gallimimus has received so many re-paints over the last few years that I would be hard pressed to list them all.
