Review: Velociraptor (Blue Version)(Papo)

Genus: Velociraptor Brand: Papo Classification: Dromaeosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

3.5 (19 votes)

Ah, Velociraptor. Thanks to its starring role in the Jurassic Park franchise, it is arguably the second most popular dinosaur after Tyrannosaurus rex. But the funny thing is, it might never have become so famous had it not been for a taxonomic error in a certain book: Predatory Dinosaurs of the World.

Time and new discoveries are incredible for changing ideas and concepts in every field of science and nature. Such is the way with the genus Homo, of which we humans are now the only living members.

If you’re reading this review, then it’s likely that you have at least heard of FMNH PR 2081, AKA “Sue.” It is one of the largest and most complete specimens of Tyrannosaurus rex to date, with a length of 12.3 metres and an estimated weight of nine tons.

Review: Stegosaurus (Smithsonian Institution by Tyco)

Genus: Stegosaurus Brand: Tyco Classification: Stegosaur Age: Jurassic Type: Action Figure

4.5 (12 votes)

A Stegosaurus is definitely a classic,
as it hailed from the Jurassic.
It had large plates and spikes on its tail,
though it trudged as fast as a snail.

Meet the Smithsonian Stegosaurus toy from TYCO,
this is one toy you don’t want to let go.

Review: Styracosaurus (Deluxe by CollectA)

Genus: Styracosaurus Brand: CollectA Classification: Centrosaur, Ceratopsian Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

Review and photos by Paul Carter AKA Carnosaur, edited by Suspsy
Styracosaurus, the “spiked lizard,” has long been a popular dinosaur. Thanks to its distinctive arrangement of horns, any depiction of it is easily recognizable. Indeed, it sparked the imagination of filmmakers during the earliest days of motion pictures, which has led to numerous film appearances ever since.

Review: Parasaurolophus (Baby)(Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)

Genus: Parasaurolophus Brand: Safari Ltd, Wild Safari Classification: Hadrosaur, Ornithopod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

3.4 (7 votes)

Review and photos by Quentin Brendel, edited by Suspsy
With its long, tubular crest protruding from the back of its skull, Parasaurolophus is one of the most easily-recognized hadrosaurids. The model to be reviewed today does not have much of one, being a juvenile animal.

In early 2015, CollectA released one of the biggest and best pterosaur toys of all time: the Supreme-class Guidraco! With its great size, fearsome appearance, and magnificent detailing, it was a must-have for any pterosaur aficionado! For 2017, CollectA has followed up with a Dimorphodon at the same scale.

Review and photos by Takama, edited by Suspsy
In 2016, a new brand of toys came onto the dinosaur collecting scene, with a huge selection in their Ancient Animals line. Recur, and its parent company Ankyl Toys Co. Ltd., has been around for a while, but only recently have their products have been revealed to the public (presumably for the first time outside of China).

Today’s review concludes the Nemegt Fauna review trilogy by looking at the Tarbosaurus figure by Favorite Co. Ltd.

Review: Pentaceratops (Chap Mei)

Genus: Pentaceratops Brand: Chap Mei Classification: Ceratopsian, Chasmosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure

2 (18 votes)

Pentaceratops was a very large chasmosaurine ceratopsian that ranged from Canada to the southern United States during the Late Cretaceous. One specimen described in 1998 was even said to possess the largest skull of any land animal. But in 2011, it was renamed as a separate genus, Titanoceratops, on the basis that it shared more characteristics with Triceratops than Pentaceratops.

Trilobites. Next to ammonites, they are one of the most well-known fossil groups. Known throughout the world from thousands of species, from the tiny to the giant and from spiny to burrowing, no one can deny their fame.
