In 2004, the rib and vertebrae of an unknown dinosaur were discovered in Chile by a seven-year old by the name of Diego Suárez. However, little did Suárez know that he had kickstarted a fascinating chain of events that, in 13 years, would rock the world of palaeontology to its very core.

David Silva, the sculptor behind the Creative Beast line of model kits, ran a Kickstarter campaign in April 2016 to produce the Beasts of the Mesozoic “Raptor” Series, a range of large-scale dromaeosaurid action figures that he strove to make accurate, detailed, and posable.

If you were in the marketing department of a company intending to put out a line of dinosaur toys, it’s odds on that you would include a Triceratops, right? Not only do most brands have a Triceratops in their range, but the species is frequently updated and released in different versions.

60 fearsome teeth, each the size of a banana lining the jaws; two tiny fingers on each arm; a big head; and a long tail to balance the body? What dinosaur species is this?

Review: Stegosaurus (Scout Series ‘Melon’ by REBOR)
4.7 (15 votes)
Stegosaurus is one of the most popular and recognizable dinosaurs and almost without any exception any given toy company or producer of prehistoric creatures has one or more of them in their line up. But as same as for other species, almost no company offers reconstructions of juvenile versions of this spectacular species.

My first review for the new year! It was hard choosing which figure to review, but one figure kept coming back up to the top of my list, Safari’s Daeodon, part of their 2018 lineup of prehistoric figures.

Review: Giganotosaurus (Mini)(Papo)
1.6 (17 votes)
Not to be outdone by CollectA and Safari, Papo began releasing its own series of miniature prehistoric figures back in 2014. They then took things a step further by re-releasing these miniatures for individual sale with new colour schemes.
This Giganotosaurus is one such example.
Review: Quetzalcoatlus (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)

With the full 2018 line up of Safari Ltd. on shelves for more than a month it’s easy to forget the lesser popular releases of 2017. So to remedy this, here’s the review of Safari’s Quetzalcoatlus for 2017.
Remains of what we accept as Quetzalcoatlus were discovered 1971 in North American Big Bend National Park by Douglas A.

Review and photographs by Indohyus, edited by Dinotoyblog
1974 was an important year in the understanding of human evolution. In the Awash Valley in Ethiopia, a set of bones were found that displayed ape and human characteristics, including bipedalism. This ‘missing link’ in human evolution was named Australopithecus afarensis, although the specimen itself was named Lucy, after the Beatles song “Lucy in the sky with diamonds”.

It has been a long wait, but a worthwhile one. The Mountains Environment Accessory Pack is just one of many from the 1/6th scale Beasts of the Mesozoic: Raptor Series line, created by David Silva.
