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.
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.
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.
Compsognathus longipes was a small late Jurassic theropod discovered in Europe and the first theropod known from mostly complete remains. For a time, it was also the smallest dinosaur ever discovered. Compsognathus doesn’t really need an introduction, however, we all know it from the Jurassic Park franchise.

Ampelosaurus atacis is a titanosaur described in 1995 from fossils from the Late Cretaceous (Early Maastrichtian) of present day France. Interestingly, in 2012 morphometric studies of titanosaur fossils from the area showed the presence of a second, currently undescribed species of titanosaur, bringing into question historic reconstructions of the animal (a little more on that later in the review).
Well, for my next magic tr…I mean 50th review, I will address Mattel’s strange choices when it comes to making figures based on my new favorite group of ancient reptiles: pterosauria. Ornithocheirus is a name that has been in paleo literature since the 1870’s, though the genus had become kind of a wastebasket taxon through the early 1900’s and onward.
Well, well, well. This right here could well be the weirdest and funniest prehistoric toy that’s ever been made. Coming to you from Bandai, it’s the Unitrobo Anomalocaris Hot Dog!
This set consists of two components, the first one being a pretty nice-looking Anomalocaris.

Being a heavy collector of the Mattel Jurassic World line, it’s not often I give attention to their fantastic line of minis despite having collected a good portion of them ever since the line’s launch in 2018.
