By now, I think it truly is safe and reasonable to say that Mattel has done better with the Jurassic Park license than any other company. Granted, outshining Hasbro was hardly difficult given what a substandard job they did, but what about Kenner? They may no longer around, but back in the glory days of the 1990s, they bestowed on us collectors a slew of awesome dinosaur toys, plus humans and vehicles if you were into that sort of thing (I never was).

Tyrannosaurus (Jurassic Park, Hammond Collection by Mattel)
4.7 (76 votes)
Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the release of Jurassic Park and in those past 30 years we’ve seen a plethora of movies, books, video games, toys, and other merchandise come along to capitalize on a film that has now become a timeless classic and a part of the pop culture zeitgeist.

Since obtaining the Jurassic World license, Mattel has been pumping out a lot of figures in their toyline for the series, bringing a fresh wind into the dinosaur toy market especially over here in Germany where shelves usually are dominated by Schleich models.
Rajasaurus (Jurassic World: Roar Strikers by Mattel)
3.5 (18 votes)
Rajasaurus, whose name means “princely lizard,” belonged to Majungasaurinae, a subgroup of abelisaurs that ranged from Europe to South Asia during the Late Cretaceous period. Its remains were discovered in the Lameta Formation of Western India, which has been dated to the Maastrichian age (72.1 to 66 million years ago).

Hello everybody! We all know and love the myth, the dinosaur, the legendary Troodon, and I, Emperor Dinobot will now proceed to give some thoughts to the Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous Attack Pack toy by Mattel!
I may be a Jurassic fan, but I have to admit that I have never played Telltale’s Jurassic Park: The Game.
Mononykus (Jurassic World Dino-Escape, Wild Pack by Mattel)
2.8 (13 votes)
[In a rare twist of fate, the toy I wrote about for this review was simultaneously being reviewed by someone else. Since I had already finished writing this review and taking its pictures, and because I worked hard on it, I’m posting it anyway. I think it’s an enjoyable read, and I think you’ll like it, but I apologize that the same toy has now been reviewed twice.]
This past spring dinosaur fans rejoiced with the premier of Prehistoric Planet, the 5-part Planet Earth styled documentary about life during the late Cretaceous that gave us the best looking and most accurate dinosaurs ever put to screen.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to yet another quirky review by me, Emperor Dinobot! We shall delve once again into the world made by InGen and discuss one of its more visually striking theme park monsters, the indomitable Siats meekerorum!
Dimetrodon (Jurassic World: Dominion, Extreme Damage by Mattel)
3.5 (16 votes)
With the release of Jurassic World: Dominion, Dimetrodon has finally made its long-awaited film debut. But despite only just now being featured on-screen, Dimetrodon has been long associated with the Jurassic franchise. A toy of the Permian synapsid was released all the way back in 1993 as part of Kenner’s first wave of Jurassic Park toys.
Moros (Jurassic World: Ferocious Pack by Mattel)

Hello, and welcome to another EmperorDinobot review! Today we shall be looking at one of Jurassic Park: Dominion‘s new dinosaur figures from Mattel, Moros intrepidus!
I must admit, I knew almost nothing about Moros going into this review, and I do wish to thank Mattel for producing figures of animals I had rarely heard of.
Einiosaurus (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)

Hello, dinosaur toy lovers! Today we shall continue making merry as we delve deeper into the godsend that are the Beasts of the Mesozoic ceratopsians line! Allow me, EmperorDinobot, to be your host as we look at the bison lizard, Einiosaurus, and what makes it more special than the others, not that the others are not special, of course.
Dsungaripterus (Jurassic World: Dominion, Ferocious Pack by Mattel)
3.6 (14 votes)
Dsungaripterus is a genus of pterosaur that lived during the early Cretaceous in China. With its upturned beak and crest it has a distinctive appearance. The body was robustly built, and it is thought that this pterosaur spent most of its time on the ground, using its uniquely adapted beak to pry prey from rocky crevasses or sandy mudflats.
Kosmoceratops (Jurassic World: Legacy by Mattel)

Review and photos by EmperorDinobot, edited by Suspsy
A great change is upon us. It appears that an endless stream of prehistoric creature toys and figures is everywhere now. Every Target store I visit during these horrible times are just full of dinosaur toys, and that is, at least for me, a reason to get up in the morning, put on my mask, and hunt like when I was a kid.
Velociraptor (Jurassic Park, Hammond Collection by Mattel)
3.2 (14 votes)
I must confess. Although I credit Jurassic Park with introducing me to the magnificent group known as dromaeosaurs, and the very concept that birds evolved from dinosaurs, I have grown mighty weary of scaly raptors. Jurassic Park is almost 30 years old now and although the scientific image of Velociraptor and its kin has changed dramatically in that time, the pop culture image of it has remained frustratingly unchanged.

Hello once again! I am so excited to share this dinosaur figure with you! I have been waiting for well-articulated Jurassic Park series figures for a long time and we finally have them! We did get some with the Amber collection, but they had some issues that really turned me off.
