In 2023, CollectA followed up on the success of their 2022 Deluxe Triceratops with a smaller version for their standard line of prehistoric toys. Triceratops, of course, is one of those “A-list” dinosaurs that pretty much everybody knows and has no shortage of toys to its name, so let’s see how this one measures up.

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. Happy Hen Toys is a U.S. distributor of animal figures and one of the only places in the country where you can get CollectA figures at a reasonable price.
Review: Ankylosaurus (Bumpy) (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, Captivz Build N’ Battle Dinos by ToyMonster)
4.3 (17 votes)
Before we begin the review I would first like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me a large selection of Captivz figures for me to share with the blog.
Altogether I have 6 Bumpy toys in my collection. Two Mattel action figures, 2 Captivz by ToyMonster, 1 plush by Mattel, and the Lego baby Bumpy.
Review: Diprotodon (Deluxe by CollectA)
4.3 (30 votes)
The very first Australian prehistoric mammal to be named and described (by Sir Richard Owen back in 1838), Diprotodon is by far the biggest marsupial that we know of. A mature male would have been over 4 metres long, 1.8 metres tall at the shoulders, and weighed at least 2800 kg, which is heavier than a male hippopotamus and rivalling a male white rhinoceros.

Greetings, dinosaur fans. I’m Paleo Flo. This is my first review of a dinosaur toy ever . . . and I will start BIG!
Before PNSO entered the competition, the companies Safari Ltd., CollectA, Papo, and Schleich (in a way I guess) had been the big players on the market.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Bendable by UKRD)

Review and photos by Funk, edited by Suspsy
Yet another Tyrannosaurus toy review you say? Well, this one is unlike most others, and is rather baffling in some of its design choices, so there should be enough novel things to say about it. It’s the UKRD bendable Tyrannosaurus, part of a 1992 line that seemed to be rubbery versions of the UKRD dinosaurs that existed in more standard versions of roughly the same size, but in rigid poses of harder plastic.
Review: Euoplocephalus (Haolonggood)
4.4 (35 votes)
In 1971, Water Coombs published a paper titled The Ankylosauridae. In it, he argued that there was only one species of ankylosaurid living during the Campanian age of Late Cretaceous North America and synonymized Anodontosaurus, Dyoplosaurus, and Scolosaurus with Euoplocephalus.
Review: Velociraptor (2024)(Deluxe by CollectA)
4.1 (38 votes)
Sniffing silently at the entrance of the small hole in the ground, Mammock decisively detects dinner. She raises her head and glances toward her mate, Mangle, who has located a second hole a dozen metres away. The two bob and jerk their heads in silent argument before Mammock finally snorts in irritation and begins clawing and scraping at the hole, sending dirt and pebbles flying in all directions.

Review and photographs by Funk, edited by Suspsy
This blog is increasingly focused on newer products, which makes sense since the pool of charming retro-dinosaurs to review can only decrease, but there are still notable omissions, so I’ve made it my mission to break the endless combo of Jurassic World toys and hyper realistic figures.

Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster for reaching out and sending me a large selection of Captivz figures. Your generosity is much appreciated!
