Well, well, well. This right here could well be the weirdest and funniest prehistoric toy that’s ever been made. Coming to you from Bandai, it’s the Unitrobo Anomalocaris Hot Dog!
This set consists of two components, the first one being a pretty nice-looking Anomalocaris.

Being a heavy collector of the Mattel Jurassic World line, it’s not often I give attention to their fantastic line of minis despite having collected a good portion of them ever since the line’s launch in 2018.
One of the positive outcomes from the release of Jurassic World: Dominion was its launching of the generally obscure Lystrosaurus to stardom. Although relegated to what was basically a cameo appearance in the film it was enough to give the little synapsid far more public attention than it would have otherwise received.
Yes, after a mere three days, the Cyberzoic Kickstarter succeeded in passing its goal of $205,000 US, thereby guaranteeing that Allosaurus, the Smilodon, and the Ice Dragon will go into production! You can read David Silva’s happy response here.
Two rather chunky Allosaurus fearlessly take down a helpless Diplodocus! This used to be on display at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
If you’re a big fan of prehistoric dioramas like the vintage one shown above, then how about voting in the DTF Diorama 2023 Contest?
Cyberzoic is Creative Beast Studio’s latest endeavour, an intriguing blend of paleontology, science fiction, and fantasy in which advanced human tribes on another planet in the distant future are waging war on one another with alien dragons and high tech armoured beasts from prehistory!

In 2022, the last of the Jurassic World films was released, ending the trilogy that started back in 2015, for better or worse. While I didn’t enjoy the film overall, I did enjoy some aspects of it, one of those being the batch of new creatures.
Meet Donald. Not only is he PNSO’s second theropod to feature lips, he’s also only the third Saurophaganax toy ever made (CollectA’s was first and REBOR’s was second). Double dandy!

Finally! Roughly 6 months after acquiring it I’m getting around to reviewing the Hammond Collection Pachycephalosaurus. In this review you’ll see outdoor pictures that were taken in March, when I originally wanted to review it! They’ve been sitting on my computer, taunting me, reminding me to get around to this toy.
Online retailer Lana Time Shop has unveiled their very first original product, “Magnus,” a 1/35 scale Tyrannosaurus rex model based on the famous “Stan” specimen. Here is their official announcement:
The T. rex size for 13.3″ L (340MM) x 2.3″ (60MM) x 4.7″ W (120MM), with a curved length of 350MM.
Here are a couple of 2024 Hammond Collection toys that are rather unsurprising, but undoubtedly most welcome to Jurassic World fans of all ages. First up is Owen Grady.
And second is Blue herself. Target has both toys listed for release in April 2024.
The dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus) is one of the most famous prehistoric mammals, yet unlike the woolly mammoth or the Smilodon, it most certainly doesn’t boast a great many action toys or figurines or statues to its name. REBOR is going to improve that status somewhat with the release of two 1:11 scale versions of the cutthroat canine.
