Tyrannosaurus (Invicta)
…culpt is the skin detail, which as with many other Invictas (including the Triceratops) is very impressive for a model of this age. There is a complete coverage of scales, with larger, raised and quite crocodilian scales along the back, flanks and tail. The neck wattle is also a nice touch. Turn the figure around though so that it’s facing you head-on and suddenly things get a bit ugly. Apart from looking that bit more like it’s going to rain atom…
Monoclonius (Tyco)
…s by Griffin Monoclonius was always known as a sort of “little brother” to Triceratops, characterized by its short frill and singular nose horn. Sadly for it, like several other dinosaurs I remember growing up with like Trachodon and Brontosaurus, it’s no longer believed to be a valid genus of dinosaur. The remains which used to be referred to as those of Monoclaunius are now believed to be juvenile forms of other ceratopsians such as Centrosaurus…
Deinonychus (Kabaya)
…er red but sculpted differently from each other) Deinonychus, Spinosaurus, Triceratops and the bonus dinosaur, the Seisomosaurus (which is now named Diplodocus hallorum)! They range from several inches tall and several inches long but the Seismosaurus is the longest at around seven inches in length. All of these figures are very appealing and sculpted by Kazunari Araki. Here is the Deinonychus! The Deinonychus antirrhopus, is not only one of the m…
Lycaenops (Jurassic Park, Series 2 by Kenner)
…not widely known animal amongst all of its Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor and Triceratops toys. In fact, during its series two release for the Jurassic Park line of figures, Kenner included several obscure species of non-dinosaur creature figures. It’s good to see some of the lesser known but equally cool Permian age animals available in toy form. As a little kid, it is thanks to these figures actually that sparked my interest in other prehistoric mo…
Pachycephalosaurus (Carnegie Collection by Safari Ltd)
…e Maastrichtian Age in North America and co-existed with dinosaurs such as Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, Anatotitan, Ankylosaurus and Ornithomimus to name a few. This figure is alright but is certainly not the best pachycephalosaur model out there. For anatomy I feel like the head should be a little bigger and the tail a bit longer. Other than that there isn’t really anything glaringly wrong with it. The dinosaur is caught in the middle of charging,…
Parasaurolophus (2007 version) (Replica-Saurus by Schleich)
…because it seems to be as much of a requirement for a toy line as T.rex or Triceratops. However, very few sculpts do justice to the animal. This figure, which was released in 2007, does. Schleich previously released a green Parasaurolophus in a tripod pose for this line, which is a good figure, but this one’s better. Schleich’s 2007 Para is 9 inches long (1/40 scale) and hefty! You’ll notice it’s very solidly built when handled. The figure is incr…
Leptoceratops (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd)
…orth America. It would have lived alongside it’s much more famous cousins, Triceratops and Torosaurus as well as other dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus and Anatotitan to name a few. Unlike many of its contemporaries, however, this guy was tiny, measuring only about two, maybe three meters in length. Let me start off by saying that originally I had no intention of buying this little fellow but I am sure glad I did. It’s one of those…
Tyrannosaurus rex Maquette (Sideshow Collectibles “Dinosauria”)
…for their “Dinosauria” line. Although undeniably exciting, the “T.rex vs. Triceratops” scene has been depicted many times in the past. The challenge for this maquette is to create something fresh and original, to show the Tyrannosaurus as it has never been seen before. One instantly noticeable aspect of this creature is the presence it commands, without even opening its jaws. The two previous Sideshow Dinosauria statues were extraordinarily dynam…
Carnotaurus (Sideshow Collectibles "Dinosauria")
…Having released their premier piece in the form of the “Tyrannosaurus vs. Triceratops” diorama, Sideshow continues to build on their new Dinosauria product line with this second statue. Choosing the Carnotaurus as a subject matter seems a bit of a surprise, although the species did achieve some level of popular recognition after appearing in Disney’s “Dinosaur” in 2000. Although we know a great deal about the animal’s appearance, the Carnotaurus…
Psittacosaurus (Carnegie Collection by Safari Ltd)
…osaur group Marginocephothelia which includes the horned dinosaurs such as Triceratops and also the distantly related dome-headed dinosaurs such as Pachycephalosaurus. It lived in Asia during the early Cretacious about 130 million years ago and was relatively small for a dinosaur, only about 6 feet in length. It’s also one of the best known dinosaur species due to the sheer number of fossils that have been discovered throughout Asia. Amongst these…
Dimetrodon (Pelikan)
…ollection than as a servant for my slips of the pen. I know Pelikan made a Triceratops rubber of similar size, too, but I have absolutely no idea if one can still get those. It´s up to you if it´s worth the hunt, but I think most of you readers will pass on this one. I didn´t and am happy to put it back to my cabinet among other figures of more beauty, grace and value 🙂 P.S. Gosh! Look how many Dimetrodons I have reviewed up to this day 🙂 Hey, clu…
Tyrannosaurus rex (Original Version)(Recur)
…tion, which is up for interpretation. Maybe it’s about to get charged by a Triceratops, and it dodged the hit? Who knows, and that’s what I like about this toy. The materials may not be up to Papo standards, but the detailing and colour choices make it seem like a living creature to me. Of course, the realism is diminished greatly once you get to the blunted teeth, but one must remember that this product was made for kids first and foremost. Not o…
Stegoceratops (Jurassic World Bashers and Biters by Hasbro)
…ich traits it shares from both animals. Well, the head is definitely not a Triceratops as most people in the general public would assume. The lack of a nose horn and the bull-like brow horns make it look more like the recently discovered Nasutoceratops. The plates on this figure are clearly those of a Stegosaurus, most likely S. stenops given the shape of the plates. Overall, there are two anatomical hiccups that I can see with this model, and one…
Tyrannosaurus rex (Timpo)
…s and look at the Timpo prehistoric line properly. It included a sauropod, Triceratops, Megatherium, Dimetrodon, and up for consideration today, a T. rex. (Let me know if I missed any!) I was fortunate to receive this T. rex figure by chance recently in an Ebay bundle. A pleasant surprise, what a lucky boy. At least I presume it is a T. rex. It doesn’t have a species name stamped on the underside, just the company name and country of manufacture:…
Primeval Predators kit (Royal Ontario Museum)
…Anomalocaris is the Tyrannosaurus of the Cambrian, Opabinia regalis is the Triceratops. Lots of Opabinia figures exist, although this one may well have been the first, as the information cards that come with these figures all say “© 2000,” which would mean they came out a year earlier than Kaiyodo’s Opabinia. For being over 15 years old, this figure holds up quite well, which is a testament to both the good quality of the toy and the exceptionally…
Archaeopteryx (version 2, 2017)(Museum Line by Bullyland)
…had released nothing special or new for 2017, just resculpts of their past Triceratops and Archaeopteryx models. And for 2018, unless I am mistaken, Bullyland has released nothing, which is disappointing. As we all know, they are now moving away from dinosaur and prehistoric animal figures to make children’s toys like Disney characters. Anyway, today we will be taking a look at the 2017 resculpt of Archaeopteryx. Archaeopteryx lived 140 million ye…
Tyrannosaurus rex (Dinosaurs in the Wild by IVS Group Ltd.)
…America some 67,000,000 years. Visitors encounter icons Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Ankylosaurus as well as lesser known marvels Alamosaurus, Thescelosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, and the recently discovered Dakotaraptor. Paleontologist Darren Naish, who served as the scientific consultant for the exhibit, has called it, “just about the only project I’ve been involved in whereby creative decisions have actually followed the advice and opinion of…
Velociraptor (Adventure Force)
…Jurassic Park knows what a Velociraptor is. Next to Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops, it is probably one of the most popular dinosaurs out there. As appealing as this dinosaur is, especially to boys, its appearance has changed drastically in reconstructions over the last twenty or so years. A number of dromaeosaurid fossils have been discovered with feather impressions or quill knobs, including Velociraptor. Here is “Flossie,” a soft plastic Vel…
Utahraptor (Walking with Dinosaurs Arena Spectacular)
…ilia, so naturally, I went for a dino figure. But which to choose? T. Rex? Triceratops? Nah, I went for something different. So here it is, Utahraptor. Onto the figure! At13.8” long and 7” high (roughly), this is a big figure, likely to be less harmful to kids. It features six points of articulation, one for each limb, one for the jaw and the mid tail (though why it has this, I don’t know). The colour scheme is a bit wild, it has to be said. Brown…
Epidexipteryx (The Dinosaur Dungeon)
…s, Allosaurus, Amargasaurus, Ankylosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Styracosaurus, Triceratops, and Tyrannosaurus). However, feathered dinosaurs are somewhat underrepresented, although I did see beautiful feathered Deinonychus, Gorgosaurus, and Therizinosaurus models for sale. But the small feathered critters are very rare. During my quest on the most famous social website, I encountered a company named The Dinosaur Dungeon. Not long after, I found out ab…
