In addition to their usual durable vinyl toys, Recur is finally breaking into the world of 1:35 scale PVC toys!
Elmer the Brachiosaurus.
Hoffmann the Mosasaurus.
Marsh the Triceratops.
These all look pretty nice. They are already available on AliExpress, and will hopefully be stocked by other online stores eventually.
Boy, the reveals for the upcoming Prehistoric Elephants series sure have been happening fast! Only yesterday we were admiring the unpainted Platybelodon prototype and now here’s the painted one in all its grey glory!
Remember, the backer campaign launches in just four days!
The fourth figure for the Creative Beast/Eons Prehistoric Elephants line is none other than the famous “shovel tusker” Platybelodon! Here’s the concept art by Ross Persichetti.
And here’s the unpainted prototype for the actual figure. Looks fantastic!
And check out the 1/12 melanistic Smilodon for the Beasts of the Cenozoic series.
Well, the new Hammond Collection Allosaurus ought to make many a Jurassic World fan happy.
As you can see, this toy’s got plenty of articulation, good sculpting, and a distinctly scary appearance. Hopefully those leg joints will be nice and stiff.
Give some space, Haolonggood, because PNSO has unveiled their own version of Camarasaurus, Njor.
I like how Njor’s mouth is open and the teeth are visible. Seems fitting given that Camarasaurus had the strongest bite of any known sauropod, comparable to a lion’s.
Well, that was quick. Here’s the painted prototype of the Creative Beast/Eons Prehistoric Elephants Gomphotherium!
Back when I was a child, prehistory books depicted Gomphotherium with brown fur all over. It seems a little less unusual now.
And check out these instructions for the Cyberzoic Razorhound armour that goes with the Achillobator.
Before we begin the review I would first like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me a large selection of Captivz figures for me to share with the blog.
Altogether I have 6 Bumpy toys in my collection. Two Mattel action figures, 2 Captivz by ToyMonster, 1 plush by Mattel, and the Lego baby Bumpy.
Feast your eyes on the third proboscidean figure for the upcoming Prehistoric Elephants series by Creative Beast Studio and Eons!
Design drawing by Ross Persichetti.
Like the woolly mammoth we saw in our last entry, this figure will boast a heap of articulation.
Lots of exciting new images from Creative Beast were released last week. First up are these ones of the final sample for the 1/18 scale Beasts of the Mesozoic Allosaurus fragilis.
This figure will come with the new display stand, which has optional foam padding on the bottom.
Now here’s some really cool news: Mattel has made the first ever toy of the North American elasmosaur Styxosaurus!
Apparently this will be in the same Gigantic Trackers wave as the Suchomimus. It is the first Jurassic World plesiosaur to have flippers that move as part of the action feature.
When I reviewed the original Hammond Collection Velociraptor, I was pretty forgiving of it, but truth be told, it has not aged well in my eyes. While I don’t regret purchasing it, I ultimately disliked it enough not to bother with the subsequent Hammond Collection JP3 raptors that featured all the faults of their predecessor.
The very first Australian prehistoric mammal to be named and described (by Sir Richard Owen back in 1838), Diprotodon is by far the biggest marsupial that we know of. A mature male would have been over 4 metres long, 1.8 metres tall at the shoulders, and weighed at least 2800 kg, which is heavier than a male hippopotamus and rivalling a male white rhinoceros.
