Parasaurolophus (The Lost World: Jurassic Park by Kenner)
…s have red airbrushing. A soothing, laid-back colour scheme for a peaceful plant eater. The black JP and Site B logos are on the right thigh, along with the number 19. One possible function of Parasaurolophus‘ crest was that it was a recognition tool, enabling different species to distinguish one another. The shape of this toy’s crest indicates that it is either a Parasaurolophus walkeri or tubicen as opposed to a P. cyrtocristatus. Both the crest…
Kentrosaurus (World of History by Schleich)
…y thought. It had an elongated snout ending with a tough beak for handling plant material and an impressive array of plates that gradually merged into long spikes at the hip, ending with the longest and most lethal spikes on the end of its tail. Unlike Stegosaurus, the spikes and plates are arranged in pairs, rather than running sub-parallel down the back of the animal. Now on to Schleich’s new World of History line product (and now available from…
Torosaurus (PNSO Museum Line)
…cation of the animal as it slowly makes its way out of the thick tangle of plant where it took shelter. Now that danger has passed the animal slowly emerges into a small clearing unharmed, and right next to it a very small baby nervously follows. Surprise, she has a baby! The reason for her odd and suicidal decision to break away from the herd during the attack. The presence of the baby explains why this lone Torosaurus made the risky decision to…
Einiosaurus (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)
…be too shallow on an herbivore that would need an efficient processor for plant material. Still, it’s a lively and elegant looking model. The characteristic features of the head and frill are faithfully reconstructed. The hands and feet possess the correct number of digits with the last two tiny digits of the hands being visible. Finer details here are truly commendable. Small scutes run down the back of the animal. Tiny epoccipital bones are cle…
Mantellisaurus – Drinking (CollectA)
…dimension to the figure as it shows off its lifestyle. Far too often when plant eaters are posed, they are either standing or walking. This pose also allows you to be creative in how you display or play with this figure. The Mantellisaurus is part of CollectA’s Standard size line. It measures 6 inches long stretched out and stands 2.5 inches at the hips. This make it close to 1:40 scale, just like many of CollectA’s Standard figures. When I first…
Mercuriceratops (CollectA)
…cial Park. Estimated to be six feet tall and weighing in at two tons, this plant eater from the Late Cretaceous period is no small animal. Unfortunately, very little fossil material is known. Only a partial skull from two individuals are know, and they are very fragmentary. What is known is that this ceratopsian sported unique, wing-like protrusions on the sides of its butterfly-shaped frill that sets it apart from any other ceratopsian known to d…
Triceratops (Deluxe)(Procon CollectA)
…k seem bigger than it should. Ceratopsids probably did have cheeks to keep plant matter within the jaws during chewing, a noteworthy process given its long batteries of teeth. Most distinctive is the wattle under the neck. Similar features can be seen in iguanas, but with this creature’s upright, strolling posture, one cannot help but recall the endearing sagginess of a young Shar Pei. This is a more playful than fearsome interpretation of the Tri…
Wangensaurier (Pareiasaurus) (Margarinefiguren by Wagner)
…s of Europe, too. Today we know four subspecies. They were massively built plant eaters walking more or less upright. Pareiasaurus could reach up to 3 metres in length. Scutosaurus from Russia and little Elginia from Scotland belonged to the same family. They probably fell victim to the top predators of that time, the Gorgonopsids, and some say they lived in big herds. Still I do not know how come that these figures seem to come from the very same…
Edmontosaurus (Jurassic World: Sound Strike by Mattel)
…tosaurus figure and am pleased to add another herbivore to my collection, as I am not really favouring the meat eaters over the plant fanciers on my shelves….
Scelidosaurus (Paleo-creatures)
…at a pet shop. I am not a big fan of this tree as it looks like an aquatic plant, and it works a lot better with aquatic creatures like his Hyneria. However, I understand that this tree was added with good intentions, and that was to demonstrate the height of the Scelidosaurus. Despite the out of place looking tree, the rest of the base is fairly well done. With a miniature log, and a rock sculpted onto the base. I personally prefer to keep my Sce…
Velociraptor (Blue) (Bite Club by Mattel)
…with his iconic pompadour. He stands affixed to a green base with various plant life molded into it. A gray bucket sits on the ground next to him as he waves a steak in front of Blue. The steak is much too large to have ever fit in that bucket so I’m not sure why it is there. His shirt (and undershirt) is gray, and his pants and boots are brown. He has admirable facial details, including a furrowed brow and smirk on the corner of his mouth but th…
Dacentrurus (Haolonggood)
…yrant and Torvosaurus, the latter of which may have been the pointy-tailed plant eater’s chief predator. Haolonggood’s modus operandi is to release two of the same mould in different colour schemes, which is something I wouldn’t mind other companies taking up. This one here is the “Lingzhen” scheme with the other being “Xuning.” The main colours on its body are brownish-orange and beige with plenty of dark brown stripes, grey claws, and brown and…
