Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me a large selection of Captivz figures to share with the blog.
Today we’re looking at the Captivz Kentrosaurus…again. Yes, this is a figure that I already reviewed.
Unlike most other prehistoric toy companies, the vast majority of Haolonggood’s dinosaurs have been herbivorous ones thus far. And the carnivores that they have tackled are mostly genera that have already been done by many of those same other companies: Allosaurus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Daspletosaurus, Dilophosaurus, etc.
Last year was an exciting year for Irritator! Not only did we get two new figures by Mattel, but we also got a new study looking at the jaw articulation of Professor Challenger’s Irritating creature from Brazil! Join me, Emperor Dinobot, as we look at one of the most interesting figures Mattel has given us thus so far, barring the lack of accuracy and focusing on the artistic license given to this swampy animal!
Among the Jurassic World toys for next year are these four from the Danger Pack series. First up is a repack of the 2022 Ferocious Pack Dimetrodon.
Next up, a repaint of the 2022 Dsungaripterus.
Here’s where it gets really interesting: Lophostropheus, a French coelophysoid that lived during the boundary between the Late Triassic and the Early Jurassic.
I’ve been in the dinosaur collecting hobby for about 14 years now and this hobby has evolved rapidly within that time. In 2010 most collectors were content to just get good models of their favorite genera. Nowadays, a figure of a genus isn’t enough, collectors want dinosaurs identifiable at the species level.
Extending the deadline to October 10 proved to be a smart move, as the campaign has now surpassed its $185,000 USD minimum goal. The 1/18 scale woolly mammoth adult and calf and the 1/35 scale adult toys will become reality. This is excellent news indeed!
For the first time in their history, Eofauna will be releasing a grand total of three toys next year. Check out this Columbian mammoth!
Very nice. The distinct lack of fur (save for perhaps a little on the cranium, it’s hard to tell) makes it stand out from Eofauna’s first proboscidean, the steppe mammoth.
Ye gods, can it really be?
Yes, it can.
Haolonggood is seriously releasing the biggest behemoth of them all (that we know of).
Argentinosaurus, people! When was the last time we got a toy of this one anyway?
This 1:35 scale mould measures a whopping 85 cm long and 50 cm tall, and weighs a staggering 8 kg.
Good news for those hoping to own an articulated 1/18 scale woolly mammoth figure: the campaign is presently at $176,643 USD, meaning just $8,357 is required for it to succeed!
The bad news is that the extended deadline is fast approaching. Collectors only have until October 10 to help make these magnificent mammoths a reality!

Don’t worry, this isn’t a case of déjà vu, I am indeed reviewing back-to-back Becklespinax figures.
Yes indeed, the campaign has been extended to October 10, and as of this post, it is at $159,474 USD, meaning it just needs another $25,526 to achieve its goal!
Here are the add-ons and reward tiers. Those fossil magnets are pretty cool.
Most prehistoric proboscideans followed the same basic body plan: a big body on big legs and a big head with big ears and a big nose. Even ones with comparatively small ears and noses like Deinotherium still had them bigger than any other group of mammals.
