Giganotosaurus (W-Dragon)
…There is a real feel feature on this one that feels like something on the Mattel dinosaurs, but much more lifelike. There’s always a bigger fish. Measurements-wise, this model is somewhere around 39.5-40 centimeters long and 8-10 centimeters tall, but in reality, when stretched out, it would be around 41 centimeters long. Not quite the hulking beast that we expected, but in reality, this would be around 1:35, the advertised scale. Very unexpecte…
Stygimoloch (Dino Dana by Safari Ltd.)
…ccuracy, but considering that all the pachycephalosaur toys from CollectA, Mattel, Papo, PNSO, and Schleich feature the correct number of fingers, I’m frankly perplexed that Safari allowed this error to occur. As for sculpting detail, the head is covered in small scales, the cranium has tiny bumps all over it, and the largest spikes have shallow grooves. The body and limbs are similarly covered in scales, with the largest ones on the flanks and th…
Carnotaurus (Wow World by NKOK)
…t the eyes and teeth are sloppily painted. At least the claws are painted. Mattel should be writing that part down. Maybe they should have tried harder on the paint details around the head. That breaks up the entire aesthetic in my opinion. Anyways, pulling the right arm causes the figure to do the Godzilla roar quickly 3 times, and the wound glows red, as does the mouth. The jaw opens and closes manually, and it is not connected to the action fea…
Pachyrhinosaurus (Haolonggood)
…think it’s unique. With Pachyrhinosaurus figures by Battat, Papo, Safari, Mattel, and CollectA. With the Haolonggood Ouranosaurus, Wuerhosaurus, and Pentaceratops. If I had to offer a criticism over the paintjob it would be that the figure is somewhat pale overall, giving it a hazy appearance and making finer details (like the nostrils) harder to notice. A dark wash over the figure would have helped bring out these fine details and I’ve seen some…
Nasutoceratops (Haolonggood)
…tion in toy form already, with figurines released by Safari Ltd, Collecta, Mattel, and Creative Beast Studios, to name a few major examples. With this in mind, Haolonggood’s release may be a more shrewd choice than should be taken for granted, hitting a sweet spot between the cliched classic dino genera and the more obscure fan favorites. Haolonggood’s dinosaurs typically come packaged in a secure foam brick, housed within an elegant white box dis…
Kronosaurus (Papo)
…collector brands, so this is a welcome surprise from Papo. Comparison with Mattel’s 1:35 action figure, also released in 2023. In all fairness, Papo has never approached their extinct animals with strict scientific accuracy in mind – they started out with waves of Jurassic Park knockoffs, after all – so grading the Kronosaurus needs to be done on a curve. The general proportions of the model are great, but scrutiny on the finer details reveals mor…
Carcharodontosaurus (Blue Version)(GR Toys by Haolonggood)
…e comparisons. And buckle up because I’ve got quite a few! Here it is with Mattel’s Jurassic World Evolution style version. A strange but interesting design. Here’s PNSO’s version, which is another good option, although I prefer the size, colour scheme, and sculpt on the GR toys version. The lips also put the GR Toys ahead as the best version available in my eyes. Here’s Safari Ltd.’s version, a small but nice figure. I’m not overly fond of the mo…
Mosasaurus (Deluxe Prehistoric Collection by CollectA)
…l but diverse assortment of Mosasaurus figures. CollectA’s, with others by Mattel and Carnegie. The CollectA Deluxe Mosasaurus measures 16” (40.64 cm) and is advertised as being 1/40 in scale. To achieve that scale, it would have to be scaled down from a 54’ (16 meters) Mosasaurus. The figure is positioned in a mostly static pose, propped up on its flippers, and with a gentle rightward bend in the body and a leftward bend in the tail. The head is…
Stegosaurus (Boley by Gosnell)
…y basic, and not as interesting as what one might find from the likes of a Mattel figure. When exploring the expanse of 3rd-party toys, there are occasional gems with enough creativity or craftmanship to merit their existence. This janky Jurassic beast, however, is not one of them. Gosnell and Boley have some decent-looking (if heavily inspired) toy dinosaurs, but Stegosaurus is ultimately a rather ugly-looking critter that comes across as exactly…
Kosmoceratops (Haolonggood)
…luding those by PNSO, Kaiyodo, Eikoh, CollectA, Creative Beast Studio, and Mattel. Today we’re looking at the latest model to hit the scene, the Kosmoceratops by Haolonggood, one of their last releases of 2023. The Haolonggood Kosmoceratops is a diminutive figure that is absolutely dwarfed by the company’s other ceratopsians. It measures about 5.25” (13 cm) long and stands 2” (5 cm) tall at the shoulder. The actual Kosmoceratops is estimated to ha…
Kentrosaurus (Jurassic World, Color Change Captivz by ToyMonster)
…. The paint application is excellent considering the size of this toy. The Mattel Kentrosaurus measures 12” and they couldn’t even bother to paint the spikes on that one. This figure is a fraction of its size and still has a complete and attractive paintjob. If you don’t like this color, I believe another Kentrosaurus will be available in another set, but I don’t know much about that one yet. The Captivz Kentrosaurus is an absolutely delightful li…
Sinoceratops (Haolonggood)
…, including by PNSO (both an adult and baby), Takara Tomy A.R.T.S., Vitae, Mattel, Creative Beasts Studio, Nanmu, and Favorite Co., the latter of which was paired with Zhuchengtyrannus. Today we will be looking at the version by the ever-growing Chinese company Haolonggood, which was released in late 2023. Sinoceratops was regarded as a relatively large ceratopsian, estimated at about 6.0 meters long and weighing up to 2 tons. The raw figure lengt…
Yangchuanosaurus (Dapeng) (Prehistoric Animal Models by PNSO)
…lors on the face. With other PNSO theropods. With Yangchuanosaurus toys by Mattel and Safari. This Yangchuanosaurus seems to have been lost in the wave of theropod releases from PNSO last year but shouldn’t be overlooked, it’s easily one of the year’s best figures and one of PNSO’s best theropods, and every bit as great as their Saurophaganax. There’s no question about it, PNSO makes the best mega-theropods around, but if they diversified their co…
