Triceratops (Deluxe)(Procon CollectA)
…aple of any dinosaur collection. CollectA’s standard sized line may have a Triceratops, but its cartoonish, caricature design leaves much to be desired – and adding a baby Triceratops figure doesn’t help. It may have taken some time, but in 2010, the company finally gave ol’ three horns a proper spot in their “Deluxe” line of prehistoric critters. Conservative earthen tones are softly woven across the foot-long body of the Deluxe Triceratops – not…
Triceratops ‘Doyle’ (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)
…specimen skin impressions (similar to what Doug Watson used on his superb Triceratops). The neck is thick and powerful-looking. Almost all the toes have the correct amount of claws. I say ‘almost’ because the right front foot has a claw on one of the digits that shouldn’t be there. It isn’t noticeable unless you’re looking really closely. Doyle has a row of quills that start at the hips and end at the middle of the tail. There is no evidence that…
Triceratops (Carnegie Collection by Safari ltd)
…t looks like the eye of a buffalo or other large herbivorous mammal (which triceratops most likely would have behaved like in its day) rather than the cold yellow eye of a reptile. All in all I would say this isn’t the best Triceratops model out there, but it’s still not bad, especially considering the sculpt is over 20 years old! If you are a ceratopsian lover like me, I say go for it. Like many of Carnegie’s dinosaurs it is 1:40 scale and can ea…
Triceratops (Jurassic World: Roar Strikers by Mattel)
…id that there’s really not a ton of interesting stuff I can say about this Triceratops, as it’s nearly identical in size and overall appearance to the previous Duel Attack and Roarivores versions. The limbs are moulded a little bit differently, with the right hind one stepping forward and the left hind one extended back. The front set of limbs can rotate and bend out to the sides slightly while the hind set can only rotate due to the gimmick. The…
Triceratops (Tyco)
…is a lovely jungle-green, and can be compared nicely to the 1988 Carnegie Triceratops, as seen in the photo! With a dark back and a lighter belly, it’s almost as if it has absorbed all the head onto its back and gotten a dark tan, while the belly remained pale due to being out of the light. Talking about the belly, if some attacking raptors manage to topple it over, we can see some hilariously tiny text telling you some info about where the figur…
Triceratops (Repaint)(Wendy’s Exclusive from Definitely Dinosaurs by Playskool)
…ask if there’s any logic behind this colouring (i.e., do we think a brown Triceratops is scientifically plausible). There are lots of brown animals in the world today. Most of them aren’t closely related to Triceratops, but some living dinosaurs are brown. I think the fact that it’s such a deep, dark, United Parcel Service-style brown is what makes it seem unnatural to me. Why would a Triceratops want to be so brown? So that it could hide in the…
Triceratops (Scientific Toys Ltd.)
…of detail on this figure makes me happy. The individual tubercles give the Triceratops a bumpy scaled texture that looks appropriate for the animal. I also like that the ribs are distinguishable through the rib cage, although I’m not sure why we’re able to see the ribs on a creature that also has large fat rolls on its sides. The way the skin seems to sag and drag on the model is not represented by any data that I’m aware of. Individual vertebrae…
Triceratops (Resin Model by Shane Foulkes)
…dinosaurs as powerful, muscular animals; this is surely a necessity where Triceratops is concerned. The bulk of the animal would keep it firmly planted on the ground, and thick limbs lend the appearance of great strength. One foreleg is actually lifted from the ground, so adhesive on the base will keep the main character stable. The “Foulkes” name is etched directly into the base, so there’s no question of who was responsible for the original scu…
Triceratops (Advance Megasofubi by Kaiyodo)
…tations. The latest one is today’s subject: the Kaiyodo Advance Megasofubi Triceratops. This finished model, part of the Mega Soft Vinyl Advance Series (the other one so far is an African elephant), was sculpted by Matsumura Shinobu and is a strikingly accurate and handsome piece. It is in 1:20 scale and just shy of 40 cm long, putting it in the arena of larger dinosaur figures. This Triceratops is well-proportioned and quite accurate in its dimen…
Triceratops (Baby)(Papo)
…grey, the eyes are black, and the interior of the mouth is pink. The baby Triceratops is posed in a mirror image stance of its parent’s. As with nearly all Papo products, the sculpting and detail are nothing short of superb. The beak and horns have grooves in them, the edge of the frill is lined with tiny studs, and every square inch of skin is covered in scales and wrinkles. Even the roof of the mouth has detailing to it. One feature I don’t lik…
Triceratops (Bite Club by Mattel)
…but she does have the large dark brown feature scales of the Jurassic Park Triceratops. Large scales can be seen on the frill and on the brow and faint grooves are etched into her horns. Saggy skin folds are present around the extremities. The pile of poop that comes with the toy is detailed with lifelike coils and a little tip leaning over on the top. The kicked-up sand is nicely sculpted, spraying up and over the turd in a realistic fashion. Loo…
Triceratops horridus (Takara Tomy)
…So, for once, we can be certain the animal modelled here is supposed to be Triceratops horridus rather than T. prorsus, and judge its merits as such. Hurrah. For some reason, even the real cheap-arse end of the Japanese dinosaur toy market manages to produce figures that are remarkably anatomically correct. This Triceratops isn’t perfect, but the sculptor hasn’t made many of the most common mistakes that afflict models of this genus – for example,…
Triceratops (skull) (Favorite Co. Ltd.)
…line of shrunken* replica dinosaur skulls, and naturally they’ve included Triceratops in the lineup. As everyone who’s seen one up close agrees, Triceratops had a pretty awesome head. It might not have exhibited the flamboyance of other ceratopsians, but they were just showing off and besides, Triceratops‘ skull is elegant and to the point(s). Fortunately Favorite have replicated it excellently down to the last miniaturised detail. This really is…
Triceratops (Jurassic Park 2009 by Hasbro)
…itals are covered in grooves. For the most part, this is a fairly accurate Triceratops, but the feet commit the common error of having claws on every single digit. The frill is also too flat and rounded. And there are some painfully noticeable seam lines on both sides of the head. The limbs rotate at the shoulders and hips. Pushing a button on the second exposed ribs activates a roaring sound that is suspiciously similar to one made famous by the…
Triceratops (2020)(Mojo Fun)
…to sell a few more prior to these newer ones coming out? The feet on this Triceratops are more in keeping with the fossil remains, with the outer toes being smaller, but seeing as how the feet are painted all black, there’s no telling which toes have nails on them. Small scales cover most of the figure, with smoother ones on the underside and larger scutes over the back and flanks. The pose suggests that the animal is reacting to something. Its l…
Triceratops (2017)(Bullyland)
…l and odd color scheme in my opinion, but it works for a large animal like Triceratops. There could have been patterns on certain areas of the body such as the frill, but it is okay. Neither that impressive nor that bad. The detailing is not that great. As I said earlier, the body is covered in elephant-like wrinkles and scales on the head. There are minor grooves on the beak and horns. The pose is simple, with the animal sculpted as if it is tak…
Triceratops (Nanoblock)
…“Fine, Doc, but you’re building the next one. Anyhow, here’s the completed Triceratops. It measures all of 12 cm long and is grassy green with a dull yellow underbelly, translucent yellow eyes, a brown beak, and white horns and hooves. Simple, but spiffy!” “Agreed, Beth. The Triceratops is built in a simple walking stance with its right side limbs stepping forward. The relatively short brow horns allow one to envision this as T. prorsus as opposed…
Triceratops (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)
…ugh. What it appears (at least to me) to be doing is fighting off a fellow Triceratops in head to head combat over territory or mating rights. I think that this was a good choice for a pose since A: it’s different and B: it’s most likely a much more common occurrence for Triceratops to be dueling one another than defending against a predator. The colors on this model are pretty cool too. They are not too drab or boring but at the same time they ar…
Triceratops (Jurassic Park by Kenner)
…ryone’s favorite horned dinosaur that to this day stands out amongst other triceratops toys. First of all, this figure is quite large. Being over a foot long, its only dwarfed by one other figure in the first JP toy line, the adult Tyrannosaurus which was also reviewed not that long ago on this blog. The beast’s body is made of a soft rubbery material that the folks at Kenner lovingly refer to as “real feel” dinosaur skin. I myself have never actu…
Triceratops (Papo)
…n animals alive today and in, well, pretty much every other restoration of Triceratops. Other than this odd little nod to JP, there’s nothing very wrong with the head, which is of course where the eye is drawn to on a beast like this. The structure of the skull is visible under the skin, there are skin folds around the edge of the beak, and its cheeks look quite hollow, which corresponds well with recent research. The skin darkens to black around…
