The dinosaurs created by the Marx Toy Company in the 1950s hold a unique title: the first mass-produced plastic dinosaur toys. All others follow in their thunderous footsteps. Previous to the Marx dinos companies like Sell Rite Gifts (SRG) and Mignot had produced dinosaurs in materials like bronze and lead, but these were more intended as mementos to sit on a shelf.
Two 2025 LEGO Jurassic World sets were revealed this past weekend. Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull follows up on this year’s T. rex Skull.
Rather than another fossil footprint, there is a bonebed featuring the skull and ribcage of a Triceratops, along with an aspiring young paleontologist.
Gastonia was discovered in the Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah, USA. It lived during the Early Cretaceous period from 139 to 134.6 million years ago and is one of the very best known nodosaurids. Its name honours Robert Gaston, an American paleontologist and the CEO of Gaston Design, Inc., which makes and sells skeletal replicas of various dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.

Hello! Plenty of people who are passionate about dinosaurs today likely started being so early in their lives. The toy producers at Wing Crown are surely aware of that phenomenon. Their attempts to appeal to the young has resulted in the creation of dinosaur depictions so anthropomorphised, goofy and friendly looking, that a child who understands the concept of food chains might experience cognitive dissonance trying to play with these toys.

Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Well, summer is long over, my list of honey-do’s from the wife is finally just about complete, and today I’m back behind the computer.
Originally, my interest in dinosaur figures was in finding ones that scaled well with 28 mm gaming pieces, for roleplaying games and “war” games, such as Saurian Safari.
Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me this figure to share with the blog.
With the second season of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory having just dropped it seemed like a good time to share one of the show’s starring theropods, the Suchomimus.
