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.

Someone at Mattel must really like Suchomimus, because here’s the second toy of it for this year.
Unlike the first one, this crocodile mimic will be sold by itself as part of the Gigantic Trackers line. Like the others that have come before it, it looks like it’ll be a lot of fun to play with!
Review: Velociraptor (2024)(Deluxe by CollectA)

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.

Here is the painted prototype of the 1/18 scale Beasts of the Mesozoic Allosaurus fragilis by Matt Holt.
This is definitely going to be one of the best Allosaurus figures yet. Everything about it looks terrific.
And here’s a small but exciting update for Creative Beast and Eons’ Prehistoric Elephants series: a breakdown of the parts and articulation of the adult woolly mammoth by Ross Persichetti.

Check this out! Mattel’s Legacy Collection Reimagined Roarin’ Real Feel Carnotaurus (geez, that’s a long title) follows in the footsteps of the Tyrannosaurus rex Off-Road Tracker Pack by replicating the colour scheme of Kenner’s Jurassic Park Series 2 “Demon.”
Not only is it a more accurate representation of Carnotaurus, it also features electronic roaring.
Review: Pachyrhinosaurus (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Wild Roar, Epic Evolution by Mattel)
4.3 (20 votes)
There is no shortage of Pachyrhinosaurus toys. As ceratopsian toys go it is only outnumbered by Triceratops and Styracosaurus, which have been more popular for far longer than Pachyrhinosaurus. But here’s the thing, all those Pachyrhinosaurus toys represent the same species, P.

Rebor has recently revealed their latest sculpt, “Cream,” based on the Vastatosaurus rex from the 2005 film King Kong. The Mountain version reflects the three that were shown on screen.
And the more sinister Skullwalker version appears to have been influenced by the Skullcrawlers from 2017’s Kong Skull Island (which was a much better and more fun film in my book).
Review: Polacanthus (Deluxe by CollectA)

The very first time I laid eyes on the Early Cretaceous ankylosaurian known as Polacanthus was at a birthday party when I was only four or five years old. I can’t rightly recall if it was my own or some other child’s, but I’ll never forget that wrapping paper.
