Well, the new Hammond Collection Allosaurus ought to make many a Jurassic World fan happy.
As you can see, this toy’s got plenty of articulation, good sculpting, and a distinctly scary appearance. Hopefully those leg joints will be nice and stiff.

Give some space, Haolonggood, because PNSO has unveiled their own version of Camarasaurus, Njor.
I like how Njor’s mouth is open and the teeth are visible. Seems fitting given that Camarasaurus had the strongest bite of any known sauropod, comparable to a lion’s.

Well, that was quick. Here’s the painted prototype of the Creative Beast/Eons Prehistoric Elephants Gomphotherium!
Back when I was a child, prehistory books depicted Gomphotherium with brown fur all over. It seems a little less unusual now.
And check out these instructions for the Cyberzoic Razorhound armour that goes with the Achillobator.

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.

Feast your eyes on the third proboscidean figure for the upcoming Prehistoric Elephants series by Creative Beast Studio and Eons!
Design drawing by Ross Persichetti.
Like the woolly mammoth we saw in our last entry, this figure will boast a heap of articulation.

Lots of exciting new images from Creative Beast were released last week. First up are these ones of the final sample for the 1/18 scale Beasts of the Mesozoic Allosaurus fragilis.
This figure will come with the new display stand, which has optional foam padding on the bottom.

Now here’s some really cool news: Mattel has made the first ever toy of the North American elasmosaur Styxosaurus!
Apparently this will be in the same Gigantic Trackers wave as the Suchomimus. It is the first Jurassic World plesiosaur to have flippers that move as part of the action feature.
Review: Velociraptor (Blue) (Jurassic World Hammond Collection by Mattel)
3.7 (32 votes)
When I reviewed the original Hammond Collection Velociraptor, I was pretty forgiving of it, but truth be told, it has not aged well in my eyes. While I don’t regret purchasing it, I ultimately disliked it enough not to bother with the subsequent Hammond Collection JP3 raptors that featured all the faults of their predecessor.
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.

Review and photos by Paleo Flo, edited by Suspsy
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.

Leapin’ lizards – that ain’t no ordinary lizard!!
If you had to choose just one of Charles R. Knight’s influential and iconic paleoart pieces as his very greatest work, which one would you pick? Out of all Knight’s incredible paintings, the one I personally find most captivating is the 1897 “Leaping Laelaps“, a vivid illustration of two large theropods pouncing upon each other in what could be either play-fighting or serious combat.
