As most dinosaur fans that grew up in the 1990s know, Primal Rage from 1994 was a fighting game pitting stop motion animated dinosaurs and apes against each other, with very violent and sometimes bizarre attacks that inevitably led to parental outrage.
Behold Mateo the Tyrannotitan, the very first toy of that particular carcharodontosaurid!
Unlike the last big theropod that PNSO released, Mateo lacks lips, although his teeth still aren’t as exposed as the ones on earlier products.

Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Today we’ll take a look at the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit (HLBS) Protoceratops. This review will be a relatively short review, as there isn’t much to this figure, which was made sometime during the 1990s.
Here is yet another new Hammond Collection toy: Claire Dearing.
Claire features interchangeable arms and a removeable backpack and jacket.
Delta was already announced earlier this month, but now we have some clearer images. Other than her colour scheme, she is pretty much identical to previous HC raptors.
Quite a slew of upcoming Jurassic World releases this time around, all of them based on the Chaos Theory cartoon airing on Netflix.
Walmart Exclusive Chomp Back Baryonyx.
Battle Roarin’ Becklespinax.
Target Exclusive Ben Escape Pack with Atrociraptor and Dilophosaurus.
Ever since Mattel started making Jurassic World toys collectors have been vocal about wanting a large-scale Triceratops. Of course they would, Triceratops was the largest ceratopsian to ever exist and yet, Mattel’s various Triceratops toys were all woefully undersized.
Given how Maiasaura‘s claim to fame is its active parenting skill, it makes perfect sense for Haolonggood to include juveniles alongside the adults.
They’re cute, aren’t they? Nice how their colour schemes resemble, but don’t match those of the parents.
The other big and bird-like boy slated for release from Creative Beast Studio this June is the Beasts of the Mesozoic Achillobator!
This will be the very first toy of the giant Mongolian dromaeosaur. The condor-inspired colour scheme certainly adds to its menacing appearance.
Baryonyx caused quite the to-do in paleontology circles back when it was formally described in 1986, as no one had ever seen a theropod quite like it before. Indeed, for a time it was even thought to be a member of a whole new family: Baryonychidae.
Three new LEGO Jurassic World sets have been revealed! First up is a brick-built Baby Bumpy Ankylosaurus.
As you can see, Bumpy features a swinging head and tail and lots of yummy fresh greens to munch on.
Dinosaur Missions: Stegosaurus Discovery finally introduces an iconic dinosaur to the LEGO world.
Thanks to my handy clicker-counter and the DinoToyCollector website I was able to tally up 114 Velociraptor toys by Mattel. This includes various repaints, repacks, and toys outside the mainline but not the minis (I forgot them). It’s a rough estimate but it still gives you an idea of how many raptors Mattel has put out there.
Mattel has unveiled their upcoming Jurassic World Super Colossal Allosaurus!
At over 97 cm/38″ long, I do believe that this will be by far the biggest Allosaurus toy ever to be released by any company.
And like the previous Super Colossal theropods, this one can “swallow” JW mini figures (not included), or presumably other small dinosaur toys one has lying around.
