Review: Cryolophosaurus (Terra Series by Battat)

Well we’re three-fourths of the way through the new Terra series by Battat. At least, with the models released so far. No need to introduce the company to our readers at this point or discuss the fan fair generated by these new models. No real need to introduce the species we’re reviewing either.

Review: Ceratosaurus (Battat)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

4.2 (17 votes)
With its distinctive nasal horn and osteoderms, Ceratosaurus is certainly one of the more well-known theropods, making appearances in such films and documentaries as Fantasia, Jurassic Park III, and Jurassic Fight Club. Yet for a dinosaur with such great media exposure, this species does not appear very much in toy form, with figures from Kaiyodo and Safari being the only other plastic versions.

Review: Stegosaurus (CollectA)

Genus: Brand: Classification: , Age: Type:

My previous review for the dinosaur toy blog was a Therizinosaur, so I spilled the obligatory ink in describing how these were among the strangest-looking dinosaurs known. Today I am reviewing the CollectA model of Stegosaurus, a dinosaur so famous that it is safe to say that any child who could describe what a dinosaur is would also be able to instantly recognise and name Stegosaurus.

Review: Suchomimus 2014 (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)

Genus: Brand: , Classification: , Age: Type:

4.1 (16 votes)

The first time I ever heard of Suchomimus was when I saw Jurassic Park 3 and the character Billy said, “It’s a super-predator: Suchomimus, “then Billy uses his hand and mimics the length of the snout and finishes by saying, “the snout.”  The Suchomimus, which means “crocodile mimic” definitely had a pronounced and interesting snout that in a quick glance resembles today crocodiles and alligators, though in reality there are many structural differences.

By now most of us who concern ourselves with such matters are aware that the Battat Company has launched a new line of dinosaur figures and naturally we’re all very excited about it. Forum member Takama has already reviewed their stellar take on the Pachyrhinosaurus but there are still three other new models that require our scrutiny.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (2014 resculpt version) (World of History by Schleich)

Review and photos by Raptoress, edited by Plesiosauria. Versions of this figure available on Amazon.com here.
2014 has brought us many interesting and downright awesome models, including CollectA’s beautiful Carcharodontosaurus and Papo’s somewhat inaccurate, but stunning and incredibly detailed Dilophosaurus. Every company has their new dinosaur models each year, so of course that means Schleich follows suit.

Well, nobody was expecting this wonderful surprise! After about 20 years of retirement, Battat has decided to re-release their popular collection of dinosaur models, including a lineup of brand new species.  This revelation came almost out of the blue, when I happened upon some of these early new releases at a Target store earlier this week.

Review: Lexovisaurus (CollectA)

I feel bad for the great stegosaur of the British Isles.  Since it was discovered in the 1880’s it has gone through routine name changes and identities.  Lexovisaurus is a stegosaur with few known fossils, basically some pieces of plates, hips, limbs, and vertebra are known.

Review: Plesiosaurus (version 2) (Soft Model by Favorite Co. Ltd)

Genus: Brand: Classification: Age: Type:

3.8 (6 votes)
Nope, you’re not seeing double. Ever since Favorite released their second wave of ‘Soft Models’, their line is starting to resemble an alternative retelling of the Noah’s Ark fable, in which the dinosaurs march along two by two. That’s because they decided, instead of creating new species, to redo and update their existing species list.

If you didn’t know; in the late 60’s a dinosaur renaissance took place, which sparked new ideas and discoveries in paleontology.  Of course, through the 70’s and 80’s, change was slow, most of the public was still being taught that dinosaurs were cold blooded and sluggish.

Review and photos by Tyrantqueen, edited by Plesiosauria.
Up for review today is the ‘new for 2014’  Dilophosaurus by Papo, available from Amazon.com . Dilophosaurus was a medium-sized carnivore from the early Jurassic. It was memorably depicted in the Spielberg film “Jurassic Park” as undersized, with a frill and venom spitting like a cobra.
