Tyrannosaurus rex (1/18 Scale Kickstarter Exclusive)(Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…to support a ginormous head with jaws capable of crunching right through a Triceratops‘ frill like a toddler crunching through ginger snaps! Finally, we come to Marbhtach’s legs. These are of the correct length and just as meticulously detailed as the rest of his anatomy, covered in scales and adorned with wrinkles, and bulging with muscle, especially the calves. The feet are also of the correct shape and size, and have been carefully crafted to e…
Huanghetitan (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)
…of dust caked into the skin (as with a modern elephant), similar to PNSO’s Triceratops. If being picky one could say the wash cuts off rather abruptly along the bottom, but this is only noticeable upon close inspection. The eyes are neatly painted gold with black pupils. Astute collectors may notice that this figure bears a resemblance to the much more expensive Sideshow Apatosaurus statue, with both being bulky gray sauropods. Given that the Huan…
Diabloceratops (Jurassic World Dino Trackers, Wild Roar by Mattel)
…of upscaling many of their ceratopsians. No comments about the undersized Triceratops, Mattel’s taking care of that, finally. This toy is in the mid-size range and part of the Wild Roar set, basically Roarivores. Mattel advertises the action feature as “modes of aggression”. I don’t know about any of that, the toy has a switch on the back that makes grumbling sounds and swings the head left and right. The switch is similar to the sliding buttons…
Apatosaurus (“World Of Jura” by Goebel)
…r dinosaur figures. Apatosaurus´ comrades in this line were Styracosaurus, Triceratops and Stegosaurus. Goebel green and bright green (there is not that much variety in the paintjob of both the base and the animal) “World Of Jura” Apatosaurus is a special figure in many ways. It highly differs from the modern sauropods of these days. Goebel Apatosaurus, as it says at its base, has been sculpted by Anthony Buckler in 1992. Bucklers claim was probab…
Stegosaurus (Honorable Lead Boiler Suit Company)
…probably one of the most recognizable dinosaurs along with Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Brontosaurus. The model is approximately 5-1/2 inches (14 cm), placing it at 1/48 scale using a maximum length of 25 feet for Stegosaurus. This fits well with most HLBS figures, but it is small compared to other toys, and small compared to many dinosaurs offered by other companies. It does fit well with many smaller CollectA figures, as do most HLBS figures…
Brachiosaurus (in egg) (‘Dinosauria Collection’ by Sideshow Collectibles)
…was extremely pleased with the first two offerings, Tyrannosaurus rex vs. Triceratops Diorama & the Carnotaurus Maquette. This was truly a treat to behold because not only am I a big Sideshow collector but I adore Prehistoric Life and especially the Dinosaurs. If you don’t know whom Sideshow is, they are tremendous at sculpting and they specialize in 1/6 scale or 12″ figures of Star Wars & G.I. Joe to name a couple and also distribute equally scu…
Gwangi (X-Plus/Star Ace)
…th some of their figures, like the Allosaurus vs. Tumak set, the Ymir, the Triceratops, and more. Let’s see if their take on the legendary dinosaur Gwangi holds up to the high standards they’ve set! First of all, I’ll say it now: it’s huge. Although the curved tail makes it only slightly longer than the Nanmu Giganotosaurus and a few centimeters longer than the Safari Feathered T. rex, it’s much bulkier than either, and much taller too. And this t…
Mesozoic Creatures (Tamiya)
…inosaur models. The first set of these models were mostly famous ones like Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, and Stegosaurus. Around 1994, however, they brought out a new 1:35 scale line which featured more accurate models and environments for them to be placed on. This review will focus on the smallest set for this line: the Mesozoic creatures. The set features six animals, all attached to two sprues, as seen below. They come off fairly easily, though…
Parasaurolophus (Kleinwelka)
…t’s one of the more famous dinosaurs, somewhere behind T.rex, Apatosaurus, Triceratops and, nowadays, the raptors. So it’s not necessary to spend more words on the animal itself. What is interesting is its overall look and the fact it is a product from communism. The overall look can be described quickly: the Kleinwelka Parasaurolophus measures 24.5 centimetres in length and 16 cm in height. It is bipedal and of a bright brown colour. Except from…
Protoceratops (DinoWaurs Survival)
…he DinoWaurs Survival line, amongst titans like T. Rex and larger relative Triceratops. To the figure! As with the other figures of the line, this one is small, at 2.4” long and 1.1” high, fittingly small in its own was. Once more, we have an all-over light grey with great shading, plus a red tongue to add a dash of colour. The pose is fairly docile, like it’s going for a nibble on some plants. Nothing much, but it works out well. To accuracy, and…
Torosaurus (Tyco)
…stand out too much. One may see a resemblance between this figure and the Triceratops of this line. And the reason for that is that they share the exact same body, just with a different head. This is excusable though, as the two are similar in terms of body shape, with the head being the main difference (as is often the case with marginocephalians). This is a very 80s’-style design, with the sloping back that looks like it would be slightly painf…
Pentaceratops (Jurassic World Dino-Escape, Mega Destroyers by Mattel)
…his toy is appropriate. It would be great if Mattel gave us a long overdue Triceratops at a similar size. The Pentaceratops has two buttons on its back to utilize its action feature. The forward button lifts the head up and down and allows it to break free of its capture gear. The rear button swings the body rightwards but doesn’t break the toy out of the capture gear. The body is divided into two sections to allow for this, like the Kentrosaurus…
Therizinosaurus (2018 Repaint)(Conquering the Earth by Schleich)
…mall green one which was sold either individually or in a set with a small Triceratops figure, and the 2016 red version which came with a Dimorphodon or also individually. And finally, there is the juvenile figure that was released in the later half of 2018, and has almost the same color scheme as the new 2018 variant being reviewed today. As I said, I will be very brief because the original 2014 figure has already been reviewed, along with its me…
Suchomimus (Mini)(Schleich)
…Puzzle set, which also included miniature Kentrosaurus, Velociraptor, and Triceratops figures. As its name suggests, this mini dinosaur is quite small indeed. It measures in at a mere 7.6 cm (3 inches) long and 3 cm (1.1 inches) tall. Though, if his neck and tail weren’t curved like they are, this figure could probably stretch to around 10 cm (4 inches). The figure is made of a soft plastic and is fairly malleable, so one could potentially bend t…
Brachiosaurus (AAA)
…or miss, and this is definitely an older, less accurate one, akin to their Triceratops or Pteranodon. While most the features are decently accurate for Giraffatitan (as mentioned earlier, the neck and tail should be longer for Brachiosaurus), there are a few areas that seem off. It feels overly chunky, especially in the legs, making them seem too short for the animal. It also features feet that are more like paws than the columnar, rounded hooves…
Smilodon (Bullyland)
…d nothing special for 2017 except for resculpts of their Archaeopteryx and Triceratops. And for 2018, I do not think they have released nothing new, which is disappointing. Anyways, back to our model. The face is a bit cartoony and the paint is a bit sloppy, but that is fine. Papo is much better at sculpting realistic feline faces. Overall, the Bullyland Smilodon ranks pretty well. The material is very light and durable, it is very playable (you c…
Kamuysaurus (CollectA)
…t lived around the same time as famous dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops but all the way on the other side of the globe. Joining Fukuivenator (figure by Favorite) as being one of the most complete dinosaur fossil found in Japan. The skeleton is 60% complete and includes a nearly complete skull, only missing the snout. It joins the much smaller Fukuivenator as being the most complete dinosaur skeleton ever found in Japan. This gives s…
Carnotaurus (CollectA Deluxe)
…not as ubiquitous as the other famous dinosaur such as T rex, Spinosaurus, Triceratops and so on. I believe the first figures of the species was introduced back in 1997 by both Safari’s Carnegie line and Battat. The Carnegie version is not so well done, leaving so much to be desired. Fortunately, the other figure, the Battat version comes close to what Carnotaurus looks like and has set the standards, not just in sculpting, but also popularized th…
Einiosaurus (CollectA)
…s in scale with one another from now on. So for example, a future Standard Triceratops figure would be closer in size to last year’s Mercuriceratops. The main colour on the Einiosaurus is olive green with a pale yellow underbelly, faint brown stripes, medium grey claws, and black accents for the speculative row of quills on the tail. The head features patches of pale yellow with brown half-ovals on the frill, medium grey horns and epoccipitals, bl…
Tyrannosaurus rex with prey – Struthiomimus (CollectA)
…3.8 (25 votes) Following their excellent Therizinosaurus, Deinocheirus and Triceratops carcass, 2012 was really starting to look like CollectA’s year – a number of superb models and a distinct lack of genuine stinkers. Sadly, this model looks set to break that good run, and even more unfortunate is that it’s yet another dodgy T. rex. Like the world needed any more of those… Don’t get me wrong – as far as T. rex toys go this is a long way from bein…
