Craterosaurus. To my knowledge, this is the very first toy of the European stegosaur.

Since the release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in 2018, Mattel has practically exploded in terms of the diversity of prehistoric genera it has offered, many of which are the first of their kind to be represented in toy or figure form.
Images of Schleich’s 2024 prehistoric assortment have hit the web, so let’s check out what we’re getting, shall we?
Allosaurus. Schleich has tackled this genus many times already in the past. The pose looks a little contorted, but maybe it’s just the angle.
Bajadasaurus.
The late Triassic Herrerasaurus is one of the oldest dinosaurs known from the fossil record. So old and primitive is Herrerasaurus that there is still debate about where it fits in the dinosaur family tree. At various times it has been proposed that Herrerasaurus was a basal theropod, a basal sauropodomorph, a basal saurischian, or not a dinosaur at all.
Safari has revealed its final two prehistoric toys for the year. First up is a repaint of their baby Brachiosaurus, which originally came out a good 26 years ago. Wonder if the adult version will also be rereleased in these colours?
And now check out the all-new Therizinosaurus!
The Jurassic World line shows no indication of slowing down next year. Some of these newly revealed toys are species that have been done before by Mattel, some have been done by other toy companies, and some have never been done before at all.

Avaceratops.
Alas, poor Troodon. Beginning in the late 1980s and continuing all the way into the 2010s, it was widely hailed as the smartest dinosaur of them all. It became a fixture of books, documentaries, and films in which it was frequently depicted as a swift, graceful, big-eyed predator that hunted down small mammals in the night.
Although only known from 35 bones and some teeth from a single specimen, Hadrosaurus is more significant than its fragmentary remains would suggest. Hadrosaurus foulkii was first described by Joseph Leidy in 1858 from remains found in New Jersey’s Woodbury Formation. It is the first dinosaur ever discovered in the United States and the first dinosaur skeleton to ever be mounted for display, anywhere in the world.
