When ever I hear the theme from Jurassic Park it send chills down my spine and puts a smile on my face. That is the power of music combined with the nostalgic feelings that I have for the original Jurassic Park movie. Ever since the original movie release, the franchises movies, music, and toys have had there ups and downs.

Guest Review written by ‘Resurrection of the dinosaurs.’, edited by Gwangi.
The Dinosaur Toy Blog has been a major eyewitness to the evolution of dinosaur and prehistoric toys, from just its start, where figures from the dark days of these toy companies were being reviewed, to today, where beautifully crafted and accurate figures are being reviewed.

Review: Diplodocus (Tyco)

Review and photographs by Paleona, edited by Suspsy
No childhood collection of dinosaurs is complete without a large sauropod, and Tyco’s Diplodocus certainly fit the bill during the late 80’s. Originally sold among the Dino-Riders toy line as Diplodocus, it would later be remarketed under the Smithsonian line as Apatosaurus.

Review: Stegosaurus (Dinotales Series 2 by Kaiyodo)
4.8 (9 votes)
After the Lion of the Jurassic, allow me to introduce you one of its coevals, potential prey and contender in popularity: Stegosaurus.
Ever since it’s discovery by Othniel Charles Marsh during the infamous Bone Wars, Stegosaurus gained a lot of attention and became one of the most popular dinosaur world wide.
Review: Pterosaurs (Mini)(Chap Mei)
2.7 (11 votes)
As we’ve seen here in the past, Chap Mei’s prehistoric figures generally lean more towards the preposterous than the precise. Joining their larger brother in the sky are these freaky little flyers.
First, take a gander at this pair. Their toothy, keel-tipped bills might suggest members of the family Ornithocheiridae were it not for their long tails ending in leaf-shaped vanes, which are typical of the family Rhamphorhynchidae.
Review: Carnotaurus “Demon” (Jurassic Park, Series 2 by Kenner)

It can be hard being a Jurassic Park dinosaur collector. Sometimes it is because certain figures are rare and expensive. Or sometimes, it is because certain figures are rare, expensive, AND ugly. Some of the most infamous dinosaurs made by Kenner share these three things, and yet somehow, they are legendary among fans.

With the Jurassic World license now in the hands of people who actually care about the toys they make, we now have a large selection of toys that (so far) have proven to be a massive improvement over the poorly designed dreck that Hasbro has created for the last film in the series.

Review: Hyaenodon gigas(Wild Safari Prehistoric World by, Safari Ltd)
5 (11 votes)
For over 25 million years Hyaenodons hunted across Africa, Asia, North America and Europe. They were formidable predators that had oversized jaws. When hunting they would have probably ambush their prey with a quick rush, grab on to the head or neck with that impressive maw, and secure the kill.

Review and photos by Bokisaurus, edited by Suspsy
Today, our little furry friend decided that he missed his Ice Age co-stars and so he decided to travel back to that time and meet up with one of the big stars!
Love it or not, you have to admire the level of popularity and recognition that the woolly mammoth have achieved in the toy industry as well as popular culture.

Review: Coelophysis (MIXVS MINIMAX)
3.7 (7 votes)
Time has come to introduce you to another gorgeous (and gory) model by our forum member MIXVS MINIMAX, the all time favorite Triassic theropod Coelophysis. As with all of the models in this line, the figures are scaled to 1:72, rendering this comparably small dinosaur a tiny gem that could fit onto a stamp.

The Tyrannosaurus rex is the undisputed face of the Jurassic Park franchise. As such, almost every JP toyline has had one to offer, and Mattel’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is no exception, with three main T.
