Rebor has recently revealed their latest sculpt, “Cream,” based on the Vastatosaurus rex from the 2005 film King Kong. The Mountain version reflects the three that were shown on screen.
And the more sinister Skullwalker version appears to have been influenced by the Skullcrawlers from 2017’s Kong Skull Island (which was a much better and more fun film in my book).
The very first time I laid eyes on the Early Cretaceous ankylosaurian known as Polacanthus was at a birthday party when I was only four or five years old. I can’t rightly recall if it was my own or some other child’s, but I’ll never forget that wrapping paper.
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. Although I was told that I don’t have to review them all I’m going to do my best to get through them anyway, so prepare yourselves for a lot of Captivz reviews in the coming months!
Meet Maxim the Baryonyx walkeri, PNSO’s fifth reveal for this year. While there’s been no shortage of toys of humble plumber William Walker’s heavy claw over the years, Maxim might well be the best one yet, especially with that superbly sculpted dentition!
Have a peek at this pointy pair! It’s Saichania, the well-known ankylosaurid from the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia.
Saichania means “beautiful,” and whether in grey or red, it’s definitely living up to its name here. Well played once again, Haolonggood!
If David Silva of Creative Beast Studio could be summed up in a single word, I think that word would be “ambitious.” In addition to his ongoing Beasts of the Mesozoic and Cyberzoic series, he has made the following announcement:
Toy manufacturers don’t think that people are interested in scientific accuracy, but Eons and Creative Beast Studio know otherwise!
Before I begin the review, I would like to thank long time member and friend of the blog, Dan of Dan’s Dinosaurs, for supplying this figure for review. You can purchase this Tyrannosaurus and all Eofauna models on his site, here.
I, Emperor Dinobot, am also fond of plush prehistoric fauna. When I read that Little Softs were offering a quirky, newly described Scottish rhamphorhynchid, I had to jump into it. It is very bittersweet for me to be writing this review, though, and I will explain so later.
Deinonychus was perhaps the most noticeable omission from the Beasts of the Mesozoic Raptor Series, but it will soon be available in all its feathery glory! Check out these images of the 1/18 scale painted prototype.
The terrible claw never looked better.
July 1 is Canada Day, so today we shall be taking a gander at one of the most famous Canadian dinosaurs, Gorgosaurus. I do believe that Gorgosaurus was the second tyrannosaur I ever learned about after Tyrannosaurus rex, courtesy of an illustration in a Dover colouring book that I had when I was but a wee lad.
Creative Beast has released the catalog shots of the Cyberzoic Achillobator. Decked out in Fire Clan armour and ridden by a Fire Guard, it looks like one scary customer!
And don’t forget that the armour can be reconfigured into a relentless Razorhead robot!
Opinions about Jurassic World: Dominion and its Giganotosaurus design aside, if you wanted a decent action figure of this animal upon the film’s release, you were SOL. Mattel only released one Giganotosaurus in the mainline and although it had some cool action features it resembled the animal in the movie about as much as the movie animal resembled the real Giganotosaurus.
