Review and photographs by ‘Resurrection of the dinosaurs’, edited by Suspsy
Stegosaurus has always remained one of my favorite dinosaurs and an old time favorite after the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Velociraptor among others.

Kids perspective by William, edited by Laticauda
First impressions can be entirely wrong .
When I first saw a picture of the 2017 Safari Ltd. Parasaurolophus, I didn’t think very highly of it.   In the stock photo from Safari’s website, I thought it looked rather plain and uninteresting.Â
Review: Iguanodon (Deluxe by CollectA)
4.8 (39 votes)
As CollectA enters their twelfth year of operation, their products continue to improve by leaps and bounds. Last year, they released a sterling Styracosaurus that utterly eclipsed the original one. Now it’s time to see what their new 2018 Deluxe Iguanodon is all about.

Review and photos by Patrx
With something like twenty genera of ceratopsids known from Canada, it’s almost expected that a new one will be described every year or so. In recent years, it’s become nearly as reliably that we can expect a new toy ceratopsid from Safari Ltd.

Review: Carnotaurus (2018)(Conquering the Earth by Schleich)

Over the last few decades or so, Carnotaurus has become a very popular choice for dinosaur toy lines. This is likely due in part to its unique characteristics that make it stand out from a shelf full of plastic theropods.

Review: Wuerhosaurus (CollectA)
2.4 (11 votes)
When I place the 2009 CollectA Wuerhosaurus on the table in front of me, it is easy to see that the look of it is on the rather plain side.   It is neither edgy or over stylized which is typical of CollectA prehistoric line up at that time.Â

What is the creature flying in the sky? Is it some sort of bird? No, it is the prehistoric flying reptile Pteranodon, soaring the Late Cretaceous skies of what are now the American states of Kansas, Alabama, Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota.

Review: Paleozoic Creatures (Colorata)
5 (13 votes)
Colorata has been making boxed sets of dinosaurs for several years now, which occasionally include dinosaur contemporaries like pterosaurs or mosasaurs, but in December of 2017 they released their first boxed set of prehistoric figures featuring exclusively non-dinosaur taxa. Say hello to the Extinct Animals: Paleozoic Creatures set.
Review: Carnotaurus (Mini)(Papo)
1.4 (16 votes)
Carnotaurus is hardly one of the largest theropods, or even the largest member of its family, the abelisaurs. But with its short snout, large brow horns, and teeny weeny arms, it has become one of the most instantly recognizable dinosaurs. It featured as a villain in the 2000 Disney film Dinosaur and in the animatronic adventure ride of the same name at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park in Orlando, Florida.
Review: Dimetrodon (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)
4.9 (22 votes)
Among the 2018 lineup for Safari Ltd. is everyone’s favorite sphenacodontid, Dimetrodon. This famous not-a-dinosaur was the T. rex of the Permian period and has been a pop-culture darling since its discovery. Even now it seems we’re treated to one of these flamboyant synapsids every couple years or so with Papo, Schleich, Favorite, and Recur all producing one within the last five years.
Review: Oviraptor (Conquering the Earth by Schleich)
4.5 (23 votes)
Normally I prefer to write about noble fishes, but occasionally I must sully myself with filthy theropods. Today is such an occasion. Join me for a look at Schleich’s Oviraptor. Schleich has earned a lot of derision for their sometimes hilarious depictions of dinosaurs.
Review: Pituriaspis (Mega Squali by Diramix)
3.8 (4 votes)
We met the Italian company Diramix last year when we reviewed their Livyatan. Their rubbery, stretchy toys aren’t much to look at, but sometimes they take on some interesting species. I’m a sucker for those, so late last year when their “Mega Squali” line came out, I had to have the random prehistoric fish that they included.
