Here’s a pretty nifty new addition to the Jurassic Park ’93 Classic series: the Tyrannosaurus rex Off-Road Tracker Pack.
As you can plainly see, this latest tyrant lizard has a noticeably unique head sculpt. Between that and the colour scheme, it’s clearly a homage to the Jurassic Park Series 2 Young T.

Hello, DinoToyBlog readers! Back in 2018, I took a look at the then brand-new Extreme Chompin’ Tyrannosaurus rex from Mattel. Now, six years later, I return with a look at one of its now numerous variants. There have been over 20 different T.
For this year’s San Diego Comic Con, Mattel is offering up an exclusive set featuring the late music legend and philanthropist Jimmy Buffett, who had a very brief cameo in Jurassic World.
As you can see, the set consists of Buffett’s character, two margaritas, three miniature Dimorphodons with display rods, and a glass-shaped stand.
Haolongood’s dynamic Diabloceratops duo debuts!
As always, both colour schemes are very attractive. And as always, I’m partial to the blue one.
Most ankylosaurs are classified as either Ankylosauridae or Nodosauridae. Ankylosaurids are easily distinguishable by their wide, blocky heads and tails terminating in solid bone clubs, and include the likes of Ankylosaurus itself, Euoplocephalus, Jinyunpelta, Pinacosaurus, and Zuul.
And here they are, Haolonggood’s Stegosaurus trio! And lest anyone point out that Stegosaurus toys are already aplenty, note that these are S. ungulatus, not the usual S. stenops. S. ungulatus was the larger of the two and had taller and narrower plates.
Stegouros (roofed tail) is a genus of late Cretaceous ankylosaur from Chile’s Dorotea Formation. It was described in 2021and has already proven to be a fairly popular dinosaur with three mass produced toys to its name. One from CollectA, another from Mattel, and this one from Safari Ltd.
Images have surfaced of a new prehistoric playset from Schleich that will be coming out later this summer, Dino Temple Conquest.
It consists of the titular temple, a wood and rope bridge, a jail cell, plants, a human figure with equipment, a golden egg and theropod skull, and a repaint of the 2023 Monolophosaurus.
The Dinosaur Toy Forum Diorama Contest 2024 is now open! There are no prizes this year but the contest is always fun and that’s the main thing!
Rules, regulations, terms and conditions
Anyone can enter. All members of the Dinosaur Toy Forum, including staff, can participate. Non-members who wish to participate are invited to register an account on the Dinosaur Toy Forum (this is free).
Still another multipack by Mattel was recently revealed: the Camp Cretaceous Suchomimus Protector Set. This one consists of Ben with a case containing dinosaur eggs, a dark brown Gallimimus, and a new version of Suchomimus.
Now here’s a new one for the blog, and another dinosaur I had never heard of until Mattel made a toy of one… Guaibasaurus. Guaibasaurus is a genus of basal saurischian from the Late Triassic Caturrita Formation, in southern Brazil. It was described in 1999 by José Bonaparte and was classified as a basal theropod.
“How do you do, fellow dinosaur lovers? Dr. Bella Bricking and Beth Buildit here once again, wishing you all both a happy National Dinosaur Day and a happy Pride Month! Are you ready for yet another dive deep into the exciting world of prehistoric LEGO sets?”
*sigh* “Why are we wearing these getups, Doc?

As most dinosaur fans that grew up in the 1990s know, Primal Rage from 1994 was a fighting game pitting stop motion animated dinosaurs and apes against each other, with very violent and sometimes bizarre attacks that inevitably led to parental outrage.
Behold Mateo the Tyrannotitan, the very first toy of that particular carcharodontosaurid!
Unlike the last big theropod that PNSO released, Mateo lacks lips, although his teeth still aren’t as exposed as the ones on earlier products.

Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Today we’ll take a look at the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit (HLBS) Protoceratops. This review will be a relatively short review, as there isn’t much to this figure, which was made sometime during the 1990s.
