Review: Carnotaurus (Terra Series by Battat)

Genus: Carnotaurus Brand: Battat, Terra Classification: Ceratosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

4.5 (19 votes)

One of the last models released by Battat for the Boston Museum of Science collection was the Carnotaurus back in 1998. Now, 17 years later it’s back and with a shiny new paint job too. Many Carnotaurus have come and gone since this one was originally released but this one still remains one of the best.

Review: Gigantoraptor (CollectA)

Genus: Gigantoraptor Brand: CollectA Classification: Oviraptorosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

3 (15 votes)

At four metres tall, eight metres long, and more than two tons in weight, Gigantoraptor is by far the biggest known oviraptorosaurid. Its toothless lower jaw suggests a herbivorous diet (the rest of the skull is unknown), but its powerful limbs and sharp claws meant that it was not an animal to be trifled with.

Review: Mosasaurus (Chomper)(Jurassic World by Hasbro)

Genus: Mosasaurus Brand: Hasbro, Jurassic World Classification: Mosasaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure

1.1 (7 votes)

Mosasaurus has finally made it to the big screen in Jurassic World and while it might not be scientific accurate, if you look at it in terms of the cool factor, one could argue that it was the star of the film. Literally and figuratively it is involved in the biggest splashes of action during its screen time.

After roughly four years of blogging and collecting I’ve reached my 50th review for the DTB. For this special review I wanted to do something offbeat and distinct. In seeking out a unique subject I came across a figure that merges my love of cinema with my love of dinosaurs, and I knew this was the model I would have to review.

Review: Moropus (CollectA)

Genus: Moropus Brand: CollectA Classification: Mammal Age: Miocene Type: Figurine

4.9 (16 votes)

Chalicotheres were an unusual family of ungulates related to the similarly extinct brontotheres as well as extant horses, rhinos, and tapirs. At over 8 feet tall, Moropus was one of the largest chalicotheres. Unlike its smaller relatives, it appears to have walked on its palms as opposed to its knuckles.

Ah, Jurassic Park, what it is, what it was, and what it shall be. In its fourth instalment, Jurassic World (weather you liked it or not) brought forth that warm and fuzzy inner child that beats deep inside each of us. I think many of us wanted to feel the same way about the toys that accompanied the film.
