The megalosaur Torvosaurus and the pliosaur Liopleurodon are joining the Jurassic World Gigantic Thrashers line. But while they are popular animals and look fun to play with, they also look downright bizarre due to Mattel’s creative liberties.

Review: Eryops (Diener Industries)
If you grew up between the 1960’s and 1990’s you no doubt had at least a few Diener brand erasers in your toybox or backpack. They were ubiquitous through the latter half of the 20th century. Launching in 1955 with Disney themed pencil-top erasers, Diener Industries would go on to produce novelty erasers representing all manner of animals, mythological creatures, vehicles, robots, aliens, spaceships, and licensed characters from Loony Toons, Flintstones, Popeye, and more.

I’ll be honest, I initially planned to skip this figure back when it was originally announced in 2020 due to the animal in question’s fragmentary nature currently consisting of hind limb material for the most part. That’s despite the beautiful prototype it got later on, which was certainly tempting.
