Review: Straight-Tusked Elephant (Eofauna)
4.9 (35 votes)
Eofauna once again brings their A-game for this release, with astonishingly rich and lifelike details to a stellar prehistoric elephant model.
I must admit, as a kid, I usually overlooked mammals in favor of dinosaurs, reptiles, etc., but even though my preferences still lie with the scaly (and sometimes feathery) folk, I’d be remiss to ignore the impressive fossil record of the mammals, who have their own fair share of oddities, wonders, and sheer giants.

Review: Psittacosaurus (Conquering the Earth by Schleich)

Review by Amargasaurus cazaui, Edited by Gwangi
In early 2018 Schleich introduced several new models for the year, including a new Psittacosaurus. The model appears to be P. Sibiricus, and is surprisingly well done. Measuring in at just under 5 inches and over 2 inches tall at its highest point, it is a decent sized model.

Review: Styracosaurus “Gnawhorn” (Plasma Dinosaurs by MegaBloks)
1.6 (10 votes)
Between 2006 and 2008, Mega Bloks produced a line of small toys called “Plasma Dinosaurs” (and Dragons), which could be assembled and re-assembled with each other. Mega Bloks doesn’t appear to have had scientific accuracy in mind for these little monster figure, but as a child’s toy their in-hand playability is decent enough.
Review: Pachycephalosaurus (Soft Model Series 1 by Kinto Favorite)
4 (8 votes)
Despite the figure’s small size, there are plenty of fine details to appreciate on this release from Kinto/Favorite’s earlier days.
Favorite Co. Ltd is among the better dinosaur toy producers currently in the market, even though many of their figures are either out of production or exclusive to Japan.

Review: Dimorphodon (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Attack Pack by Mattel)
3.1 (12 votes)
The Attack Pack Dimorphodon represents one of the smaller scale animals produced for the Jurassic World line, with a low price point of about $7.99. From foot to shoulder it only stands about 1 1/4 inches. The wingspan measures 8.5” and it’s about 5” long from nose to tail.
Review: Allosaurus (Pencil Sharpener by Unknown Company)
3.5 (13 votes)
Dinosaur products extend far beyond the familiar realms of CollectA, Papo, Safari, and other such companies. From clothing to cereals to shower heads, there’s not much our prehistoric pals can’t sell. Today I’ll be reviewing an Allosaurus that keeps my pencils nice and sharp.
Review: Juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex (Schleich)
4.7 (23 votes)
Just half a year back German company Schleich, infamous amongst collectors for their often awful dinosaur depictions, surprisingly released a bunch of figures that made some collector’s hearts beat faster. Amongst them was a somewhat inaccurate, but nevertheless impressive Tyrannosaurus, rated by some as the best T.

While the award goes to the Carnotaurus for my favorite new theropod in the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom line (if not counting the new hybrid Indoraptor), the award for my new favorite herbivore has to go to the Stygimoloch.

Review: Carnotaurus (Walt Disney’s Dinosaur by Mattel)

The 2000 Disney film simply titled Dinosaur was a technological achievement but ultimately a mediocre movie. The history of the film itself is an interesting one and a prime example of how Hollywood meddling can take a great concept and run it to the ground.

This is a review of the Anomalocaris figure in the Dino Mecard line by the Korean company Sono Kong, in conjunction with Choirock. Figures in this line appear to be based on a TV show and corresponding card game, similar to Dinosaur King or Pokemon.
