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.
Pyroraptor olympius is a species of dromaeosaur that lived in what is now southern France during the late Cretaceous.

Yet another Tyrannosaurus toy review you say? Well, this one is unlike most others, and is rather baffling in some of its design choices, so there should be enough novel things to say about it.
Calling this a 2024 release is admittedly iffy, as 2025 is probably more likely, but anyway, here’s the painted prototype of the Creative Beast/Eons 1/18 scale woolly mammoth calf!
I really like how many different colours have gone into this furry little pachyderm, as woolly mammoth figures have historically been pretty bland in terms of colouration.
Lumbering their way to your prehistoric collection courtesy of Haolonggood is this pair of Camarasaurus.
As always, both of these Jurassic giants look quite nice. I think the brown one is a bit more striking, especially with that orange neck.
In 1971, Water Coombs published a paper titled The Ankylosauridae. In it, he argued that there was only one species of ankylosaurid living during the Campanian age of Late Cretaceous North America and synonymized Anodontosaurus, Dyoplosaurus, and Scolosaurus with Euoplocephalus.
Someone at Mattel must really like Suchomimus, because here’s the second toy of it for this year.
Unlike the first one, this crocodile mimic will be sold by itself as part of the Gigantic Trackers line. Like the others that have come before it, it looks like it’ll be a lot of fun to play with!
Sniffing silently at the entrance of the small hole in the ground, Mammock decisively detects dinner. She raises her head and glances toward her mate, Mangle, who has located a second hole a dozen metres away. The two bob and jerk their heads in silent argument before Mammock finally snorts in irritation and begins clawing and scraping at the hole, sending dirt and pebbles flying in all directions.

This blog is increasingly focused on newer products, which makes sense since the pool of charming retro-dinosaurs to review can only decrease, but there are still notable omissions, so I’ve made it my mission to break the endless combo of Jurassic World toys and hyper realistic figures.
Four new prehistoric toys from Safari Ltd. were revealed at San Diego Comic Con this past weekend. First up is the South American dromaeosaurid Austroraptor. It will surely go great with Velociraptor, Deinonychus, and Utahraptor.
Next up from our friends at Haolonggood is a pair of the famous spined sauropod Amargasaurus!
As you can see, these are not coloured as strikingly different as other Haolonggood pairs and trios. Not that they both don’t look good.
Here is the painted prototype of the 1/18 scale Beasts of the Mesozoic Allosaurus fragilis by Matt Holt.
This is definitely going to be one of the best Allosaurus figures yet. Everything about it looks terrific.
And here’s a small but exciting update for Creative Beast and Eons’ Prehistoric Elephants series: a breakdown of the parts and articulation of the adult woolly mammoth by Ross Persichetti.
Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster for reaching out and sending me a large selection of Captivz figures. Your generosity is much appreciated!
Today we’re looking at another highly anticipated new sculpt from the ToyMonster Captivz line, the Monolophosaurus, part of the Dino-Trackers series.
