Finally, to round up the 7 inch ‘Cartoon Series’ by Wing Crown, here is the Tyrannosaurus, without which no set of dinosaur toys would be complete. And also, to conclude my overview of the 7 inch series, at the end I will take a brief look at some of the many other sizes, variants, and styles of figures in the Wing Crown ‘family’.

My overview of Wing Crown’s 7 inch ‘Cartoon Series’ continues with their Triceratops. This is definitely my least favourite in the set and I think the ‘cartoonification’ went a little too far.

The next critter in our overview of Wing Crown’s 7 inch ‘Cartoon Series’ is, as I’m sure you can tell from the photos, Spinosaurus. Not Dimetrodon, or Arizonasaurus – Spinosaurus.

Continuing with our overview of the 7 inch Cartoon Series by Wing Crown, Stegosaurus is next in line. Like the others in the series, this is simplified in its ‘early tetrapod’, just-walked-out-from-the-water form, with no anatomical intricacies to be found beyond the obligatory plates and tail spikes.

Having recently set the scene for Wing Crown’s Cartoon Series in our introductory review, let’s now take a brief look at another of the figures in the 7 inch dinosaurs set. Parasaurolophus is next on the list, now in some nice warm colors, reminiscent of a sunset sky.

Hello! Plenty of people who are passionate about dinosaurs today likely started being so early in their lives. The toy producers at Wing Crown are surely aware of that phenomenon. Their attempts to appeal to the young has resulted in the creation of dinosaur depictions so anthropomorphised, goofy and friendly looking, that a child who understands the concept of food chains might experience cognitive dissonance trying to play with these toys.
Here’s a figure I didn’t anticipate adding to the collection, the Entertainment Earth Exclusive, Limited Edition, Funko Pop! Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Brachiosaurus Vinyl Figure! Whew, that was a mouthful. My Jurassic franchise Pop! collection consists of a whopping two figures, the Stygimoloch and Dilophosaurus, which both have reviews here and are the only Funko Pop!
I have a doozy for you today, a remarkable figure of C. corallestris, a semi-aquatic species of Compsognathus with fin-like hands. At least, that’s what palaeontologists thought when they described the type specimen in 1972. The interpretation didn’t last long though.
The DinoToyBlog has evolved over the years, much like the prehistoric creatures we review. Articles here are more substantial now than ever before. The average word count has increased, the number of photographs has gone up, and the scientific rigour has shot through the roof.
Despite being the most popular of all dinosaurs, with multiple figures to its name released per year, everyone is still on the hunt for what they consider the “definitive” T. rex. Companies have tried to deliver it with mixed success.
It’s Blue the Velociraptor, as you’ve never seen her before! Mattel has taken the sleek, aerodynamic, and menacing Jurassic World Velociraptor design and flipped it on its head. What we have here is a version of Blue that has embraced domestication and spends her days lounging around Owen’s cabin, chowing down on dino-kibble.
Without much fanfare, late 2023 saw the release of a whole new line of Jurassic World products from Mattel. Dubbed Bite Club (Get it? Like Fight Club?), these figures are sculpted in the chibi style that is common in anime and manga.
