Behold the painted prototype of Creative Beast/Eons’ Prehistoric Elephants Moeritherium!
The colour scheme is reminiscent of the Moeritherium that was featured in the BBC series Walking with Beasts. Both were clearly inspired by the common hippopotamus.
And here’s some other pleasing news: the Backerkit campaign is doing well thus far.

In 2016, I moved from the hot and humid deciduous forests of Georgia to the hot and dry high deserts of Utah. It wasn’t a stark change for me, though, as I grew up in the hotter and drier Sonoran Desert of Arizona.
Two more Jurassic World Epic Attack toys have been revealed, both equipped with snapping jaws, lights, and sounds and both of them purely fictional beasts. First up is the Scorpius Rex from Netflix’s Camp Cretaceous.
And the other is the Indoraptor from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
If you’ve been enjoying Beasts of the Mesozoic and are looking forward to Cyberzoic, then why not help make Prehistoric Elephants a reality as well? The Backerkit campaign has officially commenced and will terminate at the end of the month. You’ve already seen the woolly mammoth adult and calf, the Gomphotherium, and the Platybelodon; now check out the concept art and prototype of the Moeritherium!
Yet another Jurassic World Legacy Reimagined set has shown up on Target’s website: Chopper Chase Pack.
It consists of a red and black Atrociraptor, an Asset Containment Unit pilot with helmet and weapon, and a projectile-firing helicopter of highly dubious flight capability.
The shark mouth motif on the chopper may be a homage to the Capture Copter from Kenner’s original Jurassic Park toy line.
In 2023, CollectA followed up on the success of their 2022 Deluxe Triceratops with a smaller version for their standard line of prehistoric toys. Triceratops, of course, is one of those “A-list” dinosaurs that pretty much everybody knows and has no shortage of toys to its name, so let’s see how this one measures up.
Before we begin the review, I would like to extend my gratitude towards Happy Hen Toys for sending this figure along as a review sample. Happy Hen Toys is a U.S. distributor of animal figures and one of the only places in the country where you can get CollectA figures at a reasonable price.
In addition to their usual durable vinyl toys, Recur is finally breaking into the world of 1:35 scale PVC toys!
Elmer the Brachiosaurus.
Hoffmann the Mosasaurus.
Marsh the Triceratops.
These all look pretty nice. They are already available on AliExpress, and will hopefully be stocked by other online stores eventually.
Boy, the reveals for the upcoming Prehistoric Elephants series sure have been happening fast! Only yesterday we were admiring the unpainted Platybelodon prototype and now here’s the painted one in all its grey glory!
Remember, the backer campaign launches in just four days!
The fourth figure for the Creative Beast/Eons Prehistoric Elephants line is none other than the famous “shovel tusker” Platybelodon! Here’s the concept art by Ross Persichetti.
And here’s the unpainted prototype for the actual figure. Looks fantastic!
And check out the 1/12 melanistic Smilodon for the Beasts of the Cenozoic series.
Give some space, Haolonggood, because PNSO has unveiled their own version of Camarasaurus, Njor.
I like how Njor’s mouth is open and the teeth are visible. Seems fitting given that Camarasaurus had the strongest bite of any known sauropod, comparable to a lion’s.
Well, that was quick. Here’s the painted prototype of the Creative Beast/Eons Prehistoric Elephants Gomphotherium!
Back when I was a child, prehistory books depicted Gomphotherium with brown fur all over. It seems a little less unusual now.
And check out these instructions for the Cyberzoic Razorhound armour that goes with the Achillobator.
Before we begin the review I would first like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me a large selection of Captivz figures for me to share with the blog.
Altogether I have 6 Bumpy toys in my collection. Two Mattel action figures, 2 Captivz by ToyMonster, 1 plush by Mattel, and the Lego baby Bumpy.
Feast your eyes on the third proboscidean figure for the upcoming Prehistoric Elephants series by Creative Beast Studio and Eons!

Like the woolly mammoth we saw in our last entry, this figure will boast a heap of articulation. Can’t wait to see how it looks painted.
