In the last several years, the toy dinosaur community has seen an exponential increase in figures of dinosaurs discovered in China, driven mainly by the prolific China-based companies PNSO and Haolonggood. Today we looking at the first dinosaur seriously scientifically investigated from China, the sauropod Euhelopus zdanski of the early Cretaceous.

Review: Stygimoloch (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Hammond Collection by Mattel)
5 (2 votes)
With its crown of thorny spikes and a name meaning “demon from the river Styx”, Stygimoloch is one of the coolest dinosaurs around. Too bad then that many consider it to be a juvenile of Pachycephalosaurus or a different species of Pachycephalosaurus.
Review: Kileskus (Jurassic World: Danger Pack by Mattel)
3.8 (4 votes)
Discovered in Russia, Kileskus is a relatively small tyrannosauroid that lived during the Middle Jurassic period some 166 million years ago. While its remains are rather fragmentary, they are enough to determine that their owner was a proceratosaurid, closely related to Guanlong and Proceratosaurus itself.
Review: Inostrancevia (Jurassic World: Rebirth, Strike Attack by Mattel)

I first heard of Inostrancevia in a 1994 episode of Paleo-World titled “Tale of the Sail”, about the synapsids that dominated the Permian period. It has been one of my favorite prehistoric animal names ever since, with a pleasant mouthfeel even if the name sounds cooler than it is.

The long-necked protorosaur Dinocephalosaurus swam the Triassic seas in what is now China some 245 million years ago. PNSO’s Xiaochong is the first toy of this marvellous monster.
Review: Yangchuanosaurus (Dayong)(PNSO)
5 (3 votes)
During the Middle and Late Jurassic, the largest predatory dinosaur in China was the fearsome metriacanthosaurid Yangchuanosaurus. Indeed, it is one of China’s most famous and popular dinosaurs, reflected by the fact that PNSO has made no less than four toys of it.

Most collectors set limitations on themselves. They only collect a certain scale, one of each species, certain animal groups, certain brands, etc. With how spoiled for choice we’ve become this makes sense, very few collectors have the luxury of buying and displaying everything, we need these self-imposed rules to assure we remain responsible collectors.

Review and photos by PrehistoryResurrection, edited by Suspsy
Today we will be taking a look at a new Jurassic World line which I believe has not yet been covered on the blog, as well as a new type of figure, which is an articulated stop motion type.
Review: Maiasaura (Jurassic World: Rebirth, Wild Roar by Mattel)

Described in 1979 by Jack Horner (and Robert Makela), the “good mother lizard” and its communal nesting sites in Montana were discovered just in time to corroborate the notion that dinosaurs were active, warm blooded, bird-like animals, that invested time in rearing their offspring.
Review: Ankylosaurus (Eofauna)

The mating season has come around once again. The bees are buzzing, the birds are chirping, and Clock is positively champing at the bit. For days, he roamed the bluffs in a fruitless search for a female. He failed to mate at all last season and his increasing desperation has now driven him to descend deep into the forest.
