Review and photographs by Rajvinder “IrritatorRaji” Phull, edited by Suspsy
I, like many others, can thank Jurassic Park for fuelling my love of dinosaurs. However, I feel very few people can thank the video game Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for kick-starting an adoration for Ouranosaurus.
Review: Chuanjiesaurus (Kaiyodo)
3.8 (4 votes)
If you never have heard of Chuanjiesaurus you’re probably not alone. Remains of this sauropod were discovered in 1995 near the village of – you guess it – Chuanjie in the district of Lufeng (where the more popular Lufengosaurus comes from too), Yunnan Province, China.
Review: Stegosaurus (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Action Attack by Mattel)
3.7 (15 votes)
As you all know by now, The Jurassic World toys by Hasbro were a bust. Speaking personally, I didn’t buy a single Hasbro Jurassic World toy. I wanted to, but they utterly failed to impress. That’s all ancient history now that Mattel holds the Jurassic World license.

“I dig these things.”
Dr. Robert Bakker was speaking more literally than figuratively when making the above statement regarding the genus in question (he has excavated numerous fossils of this particular animal), but there is also a genuine seal of approval in there from the esteemed paleontologist.

Continuing with my reviews of the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Roarivores, we now have the Triceratops!
Review: Uintatherium (Wild Safari Prehistoric World, by Safari Ltd.)
4.7 (17 votes)
Uintatherium was among the largest land animals in one of the stranger groups of large mammals that lived during the Eocene. Its flat and strongly built skull is quite the trophy as it is strange and bizarre. The skull is adorned with six long paired knobs that protruded from its nose, forehead, and from the back of its head.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (2015)(Mojö Fun)
1.4 (17 votes)
Did Tyrannosaurus rex and its kin possess fleshy lips that concealed their savage teeth when their mouths were closed? A recent study of a new species of Daspletosaurus concluded that the answer was a negative, but as with virtually all paleontological papers, that conclusion is by no means set in stone.
Review: Belemnit (Bullyland)
4.4 (7 votes)
Roughly 300 million years a successful group of invertebrate animals roamed Earth’s seas in such numbers, that their fossil remains are used by geologists as index fossils, yet, the world of toy figures is lacking this group of animals almost completely. Several years ago the German company Bullyland remedied this lack and “released the kraken”,… well, more or less….… while the general appearance of a belemnite is reminescent of a modern cuttlefish and therefore its’ bigger relatives the octopuses aswell, the extinct group of Belemnoidea shows some remarkable differences from those recent animals.

The relatively obscure Metriacanthosaurus mysteriously popped up in Jurassic Park while Nedry was stealing dinosaur embryos from the cryogenic lab.
Review: Anzu (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)
4.8 (34 votes)
Oviraptorosauria, a group of well known dinosaurs that everyone’s aware of but few people count among their favorites. Personally I’ve been in love with the group since childhood, when I first gazed upon an Oviraptor in “Dougal Dixon’s Dinosaurs”.
Review: Allosaurus (Soft Model Series 1 by Favorite Co. Ltd.)
4 (12 votes)
Despite representing the same genus, Favorite co’s first take on the famous Jurassic theropod is remarkably different their their currently-produced version.
Although Allosaurus is less of a star in dinosaur pop culture than it used to be, the genus is still a mainstay in toy lines.

Review: Steppe Mammoth (Eofauna)
5 (28 votes)
The 2017 Steppe Mammoth “M. trogontherii” by Eofauna is an incredible and accurate toy. It was sculpted by making 3d scans of real steppe mammoth skeletons. It is in 1:40 scale and the scale is based on the largest specimen found.
