Review: Styracosaurus (Prehistoric Masterpiece Collection by X-Plus)
Styracosaurus was a centrosaurine ceratopsian from Cretaceous North America. Its unique and formidable horn arrangement have made it perhaps the second-most popular toy ceratopsian, behind Triceratops. This effort by X-Plus is one of two dinosaurs from their (retired) Prehistoric Masterpiece collection.
Review: Carnotaurus (2011 Version)(Carnegie Collection by Safari Ltd.)
Alright, maybe that isn’t entirely true. The first big break for our brow-horned friend probably came in Crichton’s bestselling sequel to Jurassic Park, The Lost World, where Carnotaurus prowled the darkness with chameleonic camouflage (speculative, naturally).
Review: Styracosaurus (Antediluvia Collection)
Accuracy wise this little fellow is pretty much perfect.
Review: Torosaurus (Collecta)
Review: Ankylosaurus (Soft model by Favorite Co. Ltd.)
Review: Spinosaurus Hunting (Desktop Model by Dinostoreus)
At 13 inches in length, this is a pretty generously sized model, falling roughly within the 1:40 range to make it compatible with the Carnegie Spinosaurus, or Papo if you’re not a stickler for accuracy.
Review: Pteranodon (Carnegie Collection by Safari Ltd)
I think the Carnegie Pteranodon is supposed to be in a flying pose, either that or sprawled out on its tummy in the most ungainly manner.
Review: Concavenator (CollectA)
Concavenator corcovatus (meaning hunchback hunter from Cuenca). Was a 6-meter long, and primitive carcharodontosaurian that lived 130 milion years ago during the early Cretaceous Period. It was discovered last year [2010] at the Las Hoyas Plateau, and is notable for a hump that pertruded from its back.

Review: Tale of Two Stegosaurs: Carnegie Miragaia and CollectA Dacentrurus
In this year’s dinosaur lineup, we are offered two unusual late Jurassic stegosaurs.
In the past, most companies have opted for the familiar stegosaur when choosing a species to add to their line of prehistoric figures.
Review: Attenborosaurus (CollectA)
Review: Miragaia (Carnegie Collection by Safari Ltd.)
Review: Tyrannosaurus (unknown company)
Well, I’m no expert in dinosaurs or dinosaur toys compared to most, but I feel obliged as this toy is the pride of my (tiny) collection and there is no review so far. So, from what I can see this is quite a good representation of one of the most well-known dinosaurs out there.
Review: Psittacosaurus (CollectA)
Psittacosaurus (parrot lizard) was a small ceratopsian that lived during the Early Cretaceous period in what is now Eastern Asia. A number of species have been recognised so far based on the shape of their skulls and the area in which they were discovered.
