Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me this figure to share with the blog.
With the second season of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory having just dropped it seemed like a good time to share one of the show’s starring theropods, the Suchomimus.
Times have been very hard lately, and the smallest gestures are worth living for. I would like to thank Happy Hen Toys for providing me with this interesting specimen, so I could pass the time playing with it, photographing it, and helping me to focus on something less painful.
Here’s a figure I didn’t anticipate adding to the collection, the Entertainment Earth Exclusive, Limited Edition, Funko Pop! Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Brachiosaurus Vinyl Figure! Whew, that was a mouthful. My Jurassic franchise Pop! collection consists of a whopping two figures, the Stygimoloch and Dilophosaurus, which both have reviews here and are the only Funko Pop!
This small outdated ankylosaur model was sold by the Early Learning Centre in the UK in the 1990s. It doesn’t have any brand markings, but I’m reasonably confident it’s an AAA model based on the style and knowing the strong relationship the Early Learning Centre had with AAA.
Finally! A new Gallimimus toy for next year!
This 1:40 scale Deluxe toy strongly resembles a rooster, which is appropriate given that its name means “chicken mimic.”
And yes, it’s mounted on a base just like CollectA’s previous ornithomimosaur toys, but I have no issue whatsoever with that.
Here’s a hideous but happy sight: the painted 1/18 scale prototype of Andrewsarchus for the upcoming Beasts of the Cenozoic series by Creative Beast.
The colour scheme is based on the extant brown hyena. Looks quite terrifying!
A few weeks ago, I posted a review of the Pteranodon from Yowie Group’s latest set of blind-bag figures, Ultimate Dinosaurs. In that review I mentioned that most of the figures were average to below average in execution but that there were a few standout figures.
Have I mentioned that Recur has really improved as of late? Here’s their new Spinosaurus.
And this is their new Therizinosaurus, although it looks like it’s got the head of Deinocheirus. Odd.
And here’s more images of their previously revealed Tyrannosaurus rex.
Before we begin the review, I would like to extend my gratitude towards Happy Hen Toys for sending this figure along as a review sample. Check out their large selection of animal and dinosaur figures by clicking the banner below.
When Haolonggood announced their Diabloceratops it was one of the few ceratopsians by the company that I didn’t intend to purchase.
It’s been awhile since the last Haolonggood reveal, but here finally is the Utahceratops pair.
Those frill patterns really do look like bulging eyes, don’t they?
Difficult to choose between them.
Biggest by far of all known maniraptorans, bearer of the longest claws of any known animal, and just downright rocambolesque to the human eye, Therizinosaurus is one truly remarkable dinosaur. It’s been made into a toy by many of the major companies, including Safari Ltd.
Here’s something that ought to make any dedicated dinosaur fan sit up and take notice: the very first toy of Ingentia prima, the “first huge one,” courtesy of CollectA!
Ingentia was a basal sauropodomorph that lived in South America during the Late Triassic period.
