Review: Protoceratops (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Attack Pack by Mattel)

3.1 (12 votes)

One of the best things about the Mattel Jurassic World line is its inclusion of many obscure and unpopular genera. This was something Kenner did with the original line too, producing such oddities as Esstemenosuchus and Scutosaurus. For the Mattel line a lot of unexpected surprises have already hit the shelves or are slated for release.

Review: Iguanodon (Jurassic Park Junior by Playskool / Hasbro)

Genus: Iguanodon Brand: Hasbro, Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park Junior, Playskool Classification: Iguanodont (basal), Ornithopod Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure, Baby Dino

2.6 (11 votes)

This so-called “Li’l Iguanodon” was part of a short-lived ‘Jurassic Park Junior’ toy line released in 2001, presumably prompted by the release of Jurassic Park 3 in cinemas that same year. The line was aimed at young audiences and is made up of cutesy renditions of several dinosaurs from the Jurassic Park film series.

This might seem like Déjà vu, but it isn’t. We recently reviewed a Disney’s Dinosaur Carnotaurus by Mattel here but savvy Disney didn’t put all their dinosaur eggs into one basket. They licensed ‘Disney’s Dinosaur’ to an array of different manufacturers, which means there are more versions of the Disney Carnotaurus than you can throw a family of lemurs at.

Review: Triceratops (Animal Adventure/ANIA by Takara Tomy)

Genus: Triceratops Brand: Takara Tomy Classification: Ceratopsian, Chasmosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure

3 (5 votes)

Triceratops is one of those dinosaurs too iconic for manufacturers to leave out of any toy line, yet it’s one of the genera that can easily fall victim to old stereotypes. This review covers Takara Tomy’s take on the classic three-horned face, which reflects some of these ups and downs of the dinosaur’s media depictions.

Review: Ceratosaurus (Roarivores)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)

Genus: Ceratosaurus Brand: Jurassic World, Mattel Classification: Ceratosaur, Theropod Age: Jurassic Type: Action Figure

Ceratosaurus was certainly not the biggest or the most dangerous theropod of Late Jurassic North America, but thanks to its prominent nasal horn, it was probably the most distinctive. As a result, it is rather popular among dinosaur fans; renowned paleontologist Robert Bakker has declared it to have been his favourite since 1958.

I first came across this odd T. rex toy early on in my collecting days, in a lot advertised on eBay. I didn’t get that lot but noticed that it kept popping up in lots over and over. It intrigued me but not enough to seek it out.

Surely enough as the seasons change, and time goes by, toys will be forgotten. Such is the case with this one, a 3 year old toy that I got second-hand in a lot of dinosaurs primarily purchased not as a collector, but as a father.

The Attack Pack Dimorphodon represents one of the smaller scale animals produced for the Jurassic World line, with a low price point of about $7.99. From foot to shoulder it only stands about 1 1/4 inches. The wingspan measures 8.5” and it’s about 5” long from nose to tail.

Review and photos by Faelrin, edited by Suspsy
While the award goes to the Carnotaurus for my favorite new theropod in the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom line (if not counting the new hybrid Indoraptor), the award for my new favorite herbivore has to go to the Stygimoloch.

The 2000 Disney film simply titled Dinosaur was a technological achievement but ultimately a mediocre movie. The history of the film itself is an interesting one and a prime example of how Hollywood meddling can take a great concept and run it to the ground.

Playmobil’s 1.2.3 line is the equivalent of Lego’s Duplo line: simpler, safer versions of their main products aimed at toddlers. When I saw that there was a dinosaur-themed set among the 2018 releases, I knew that I had to get it for my son.
