Haolonggood’s first (but presumably not last) ceratopsian of the year is Chasmosaurus, known from many complete specimens, but perhaps not as flashy as Triceratops, Styracosaurus, or Pentaceratops.
So which colour scheme is your preference?
Review: Yangchuanosaurus (Dapeng) (Prehistoric Animal Models by PNSO)
4.8 (46 votes)
With 47 votes the PNSO Saurophaganax is poised to win the prestigious title of figure of the year on the Dinosaur Toy Forum’s Top 10 of 2023 poll. And rightly so, it’s a fantastic figure. One of the best theropod models I’ve ever seen, and quite possibly the best “Allosaurus” ever.

My, my, my, how Recur has improved since 2016! The animals comprising their latest prehistoric assortment look genuinely great and still retain all the durability and play value that has made the company a success. It should be exciting to see these reviewed on the blog!

Review: Dimetrodon (small version) (AAA)
3.2 (17 votes)
There are at least five different AAA Dimetrodon sculpts so I’m calling this the “small version” to differentiate it from the others. This one is from the 1980s and there are a handful of interesting aspects that make this figure stand out from other similar cheap Dimetrodons.
Review: Struthiomimus (Marx)
4.1 (26 votes)
Review and Photos by BlueKrono and DinoToyBlog.
Struthiomimus, the ‘ostrich mimic’, was named in 1917 for a species (S. altus) originally referred in 1903 to the closely related genus Ornithomimus. Despite the history of ornithomimosaurs spanning back to the late 1800s, they are relatively rarely made as toys.
News: Upcoming release from Mattel (New for 2024)(Pt. 13)
3.6 (12 votes)
Well now, here’s an interesting addition to the Jurassic Park ’93 Classic line: the Dennis Nedry Track & Chase Pack.
The set includes a motorcycle equipped with capture gear, a Velociraptor whose coloration appears to be based on the 2001 Alpha Raptor toy, and a Nedry figure with the same familiar visage, but quite a different physique.
Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company)

Review and photos by Torvosaurus, edited by Suspsy
Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Today we’ll take a look at the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit (HLBS) Tyrannosaurus rex. The model is approximately 8 inches (20 cm) long, but the curve of the neck puts it closer to 9 inches (23 cm) and gives it a 1/52 scale.
Review: Mamenchisaurus (Jurassic World, Legacy Collection by Mattel)
3.9 (36 votes)
Mattel’s previous large sauropods made sense. Brachiosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Dreadnoughtus all had significant screen time in the Jurassic franchise. And even though Mattel dutifully, and shockingly, made toys of them all, fans wanted more.
