Review and photos by Resurrection of the dinosaurs, edited by Suspsy
As 2018 has ended now, I decided to review a figure from a prehistoric line that seems to have ended too:Â Bullyland. Let me know in the comments section if I am wrong.
Review: Compsognathus (Papo)

Review and photos by James Burnside, edited by Suspsy
Though the Procompsognathus had already made its mark on the original Jurassic Park novel, the unassuming ‘Compy’ only truly first scampered into the public conscious in a big way in 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park in which it is depicted as a deceptively cute, harmless, and even playful critter right up until it overwhelms its unsuspecting prey with sheer numbers.
Review: Miragaia (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)
4.3 (15 votes)
A humid spring morning finds Costa browsing placidly on succulent berries. An abrupt noise in the surrounding brush causes him to turn his head and twitch his tail sharply, but it is just a harmless dryosaur also in the midst of browsing. Reassured, Costa returns to the glade where his mate is watching over their clutch.
Review: Ankylosaurus (Roarivores)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)

In 2001, “cinematic genius” Joe Johnston introduced Ankylosaurus to the Jurassic Park film franchise in one of the worst scene transitions in the series (remember, this is the same franchise that thought going from a screaming mother to a yawning Jeff Goldblum was a good idea).

Happy New Year everyone! this will be my first review for 2019!
Back in the late Eocene, the world’s oceans were a much warmer, shallower than they are today. If you took a stroll along the beach back then, you may think that you have stepped into some hidden tropical paradise somewhere in the tropical pacific.
Review: Glyptodon (Starlux)
3.9 (10 votes)
The 70’s Glyptodon by Starlux is an interesting reproduction of an animal that had a curved and armored carapace which would have made nodosaurids and ankylosaurids proud. It is a strange toy. It has no articulation but it is able to be played with.
Review: Prestosuchus (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)
4.9 (22 votes)
Safari Ltd’s 2019 slate of releases made a lot of wishes come true, especially where up-to-date versions of popular dinosaurs are concerned. But for me, the most exciting release was the Triassic pseudosuchian Prestosuchus. It’s pretty rare that Safari makes Triassic animals–currently, the only other genera they offer from this period are Coelophysis and Postosuchus.

In which I inspect the ‘New Kron on the block’, a pliosaur toy by mysterious company Moses, and compare it with similar Krono-sausage-sauruses by Safari Ltd (Carnegie Collection) and Salvat. Thanks to Libraraptor for thinking of me and sending me this smashing little figure as a gift.

This is the first unpainted resin model kit that I have purchased since I started collecting prehistoric figures. I will start off by saying that Carnotaurus was never really one of my favorite theropods.
Review: Tyrannosaurus Rex (Starlux)

If someone came up to you and said the word dinosaur, chances are good that the first mental image you would have is of Tyrannosaurus rex. This would not be a surprise as it is an icon and the favorite dinosaur of many children and adults.

Edited by Dinotoyblog
Every now and again the Dinosaur Toy Blog receives independent reviews of the same toy within hours of each other. And so, in the generous spirit of the season, here is a rare special double-bill review by two guest reviewers, Loon and Carnosaur, who both have something to say about the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Dracorex by Mattel.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Unknown Company)

Tyrannosaurus rex is without a doubt one iconic animal, one of the handful of dinosaurs that most of the general public can identify on sight, and as far as prehistoric animal toys are concerned, there wouldn’t be too many making dinosaurs that didn’t have this guy in their lineup.
