Gastonia was discovered in the Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah, USA. It lived during the Early Cretaceous period from 139 to 134.6 million years ago and is one of the very best known nodosaurids. Its name honours Robert Gaston, an American paleontologist and the CEO of Gaston Design, Inc., which makes and sells skeletal replicas of various dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.

Review: Lambeosaurus (Ultimate Dinosaurs by Yowie Group)
Here’s another of the more exciting additions to Yowie’s Ultimate Dinosaurs series, the Lambeosaurus. I say more exciting because Lambeosaurus is somewhat of a rarity on the toy market, especially in more kid oriented little sets like this. So, at the very least, the addition of this genus into the series helps bring awareness to Lambeosaurus.
Review: Brachiosaurus (‘Cartoon Series’ by Wing Crown / Gosnell)
Review and photos by Hubert, edited by DinoToyBlog
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.
Review: Alamosaurus (Haolonggood)
Review and photos by Torvosaurus, edited by Suspsy
Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Well, summer is long over, my list of honey-do’s from the wife is finally just about complete, and today I’m back behind the computer.
Originally, my interest in dinosaur figures was in finding ones that scaled well with 28 mm gaming pieces, for roleplaying games and “war” games, such as Saurian Safari.
Review: Suchomimus (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, Captivz Build N’ Battle Dinos by ToyMonster)
Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me this figure to share with the blog.

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!

Before we begin the review, I would like to extend my gratitude towards Happy Hen Toys for sending this figure along as a review sample. Check out their large selection of animal and dinosaur figures by clicking the banner below.
When Haolonggood announced their Diabloceratops it was one of the few ceratopsians by the company that I didn’t intend to purchase.
Review: Therizinosaurus (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)
Review: Lufengosaurus (2024) (PNSO)
Many of us will recall the old days when the term “prosauropods” was used to describe the likes of Plateosaurus, Massospondylus, Melanorosaurus, and other early long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs thought to be the ancestors of the great sauropods like Brachiosaurus, Brontosaurus, and Diplodocus.
