Haolonggood’s second reveal this month is a pair of Sarcosuchuses with chomping jaws. The green and brown colour schemes are very realistic and similar to those of modern crocodilians....
If you grew up between the 1960’s and 1990’s you no doubt had at least a few Diener brand erasers in your toybox or backpack. They were ubiquitous through the latter half of the 20th century. Launching in 1955 with Disney themed pencil-top erasers, Diener Industries would go on to produce novelty erasers representing all manner of animals, mythological creatures,...
I’ll be honest, I initially planned to skip this figure back when it was originally announced in 2020 due to the animal in question’s fragmentary nature currently consisting of hind limb material for the most part. That’s despite the beautiful prototype it got later on, which was certainly tempting. Enter the “dragon prince” Khankhuuluu mongoliensis described just last year, which...
Still more prototypes to make your bank account shudder. The unmistakable Ceratosaurus stands ready to join the rest of the Beasts of the Mesozoic theropods. What a fabulous colour scheme that is! And here is Creative Beast’s very first ankylosaur, the recently described Spicomellus. Absolutely spiketacular!...
Champsosaurus will make its debut in the Mattel Jurassic World line this year. Overly spiky like so many other 2026 toys, but a welcome sight nonetheless. Deinonychus is the next newcomer, and it does look rather decent. A super spiky Pachycephalosaurus. Rhamphorhynchus. Appears to be just another recolour of the 2019 toy. Last, but certainly not least, is yet another...
Across the various online Jurassic World collector communities I’ve seen increased talk about a new sort of collectable that appears to have slipped in under the radar, Blokees. A Chinese toy company, Blokees produces buildable action figures under various licensed properties. They appear to be rather popular with the Transformers community, but I had never heard of them until the...
Originally, it was intended that our highly esteemed author and forum member EmperorDinobot would review the Papo Ampelosaurus. But in July 2025, we had to learn of his tragic death at only 36 years old. I hope the following lines will do justice to his legacy. Here the complete package is right. First of all, I would like to make...
TNG will be releasing a Mosasaurus this year in addition to the three toys revealed last December. But as far as Mosasaurus toys go, this one seems . . . not so great, I’d say. Were they deliberately going for a retro look here, or not?...
Eofauna posted this message on the forum earlier in the week: Dear DinotoyBlog members, We are sorry to inform you that the Paraceratherium and Anancus are not yet ready, although we had expected them to be by now. The factory has informed us that it is currently facing a shortage of skilled workers, which has delayed production by several ...
Aside from being the most popular and familiar prehistoric carnivoran, cats of the Smilodon genus are notable for several reasons. They’re the most recent of the “saber-toothed” cats, having only gone extinct at the end of the Ice Age, 10,000 years ago. They were also large, reaching and exceeding the size of extant big cats. One species, S. populator, was...
Add Haolonggood to the list of companies with a Coelodonta toy to their name. As you can see, this woolly rhinoceros is part of the new “Ancient Witness” series, which will presumably include the proboscideans teased previously. And it appears that Haolonggood will only be making one colour version as opposed to the two or three versions they’ve been doing...
It’s yet another hot summer day and the last thing that Cameron would care to do is move a single muscle of his ten ton body. That’s because he’s been beating the heat by lounging comfortably in a shallow pool, with his huge head resting on the muddy bank, his titanic trunk half submerged in the cool brown water, and...
