Back in 2017, one of the best preserved fossils discovered was making the rounds. It was named Borealopelta markmitchelli, “Mark Mitchell’s northern shield”, honoring the man who spent more than 7,000 hours carefully preparing the fossil material, and slowly carving it out from the rock it rested in.

Now here’s something a lot of collectors, myself included, have been craving for a long time: a high quality figure of Megaraptor!
As usual, Haolonggood is offering this terrific tyrannosauroid in two different colour schemes.
My only concern is its stability, as the right leg appears to be balancing on just the tip of one claw.
News: Upcoming release from PNSO (New for 2023)(Pt. 13)
Feast your eyes upon the stupendous Samuel! This towering Alamosaurus is perhaps PNSO’s finest sauropod yet, standing close to 30 cm tall and boasting a very long and very thick neck and rows of spiky osteoderms on his back. He’ll undoubtedly go well with Cameron, or indeed most other Tyrannosaurus rex figures!

News: Cyberzoic Kickstarter Concludes!
The Cyberzoic Kickstarter is officially over. 1,637 backers contributed an impressive combined total of $608,230 US to bring David Silva’s long dream closer to fruition. Naturally, it will be at least a year before the figures ship, but judging from the images, the wait will be worth it.

News: Upcoming release from REBOR (New for 2023)(Pt. 2)
It being Halloween, REBOR has revealed their “Cannibal Corpse” Plain Version Deluxe Pack, a gruesomely zombified version of the Jurassic Park Tyrannosaurus rex, complete with a severed Indominus arm for it to munch on.
Personally, I moved on from the whole zombie craze some years ago, but I’m sure this item will be well-received by many folk.
News: Upcoming releases from Haolonggood (New for 2023)(Pt. 10)
Haolonggood’s latest reveal is a double dose of Dilophosaurus! Collectors can choose between a standing or a sitting version, or both.
And naturally, each figure comes in two distinct colour schemes. The brighter coloration of the sitting individual in the first pair could mean that it is a male, similar to how many male birds are more brightly coloured than females.
Review: Nasutoceratops (Haolonggood)
Nasutoceratops marked the first new release of 2023 from Haolonggood, a company which has been quickly climbing the popularity brands among collectors here on the Dinosaur Toy Blog. You’d be forgiven if you’re not quite familiar with the brand yet, though; Haolonggood has been around for a little while, but their company history hasn’t always been clear.
