Megaraptorans are an unusual clade of theropods that are all presently known from incomplete fossil remains, yet are generally characterized by powerful arms terminating in frightfully huge claws. Just where precisely they fit into the greater theropod family tree has been an ongoing debate for years, but there is a growing consensus that they are either nested within Tyrannosauroidea, or represent a sister taxon to it.

The tyrannosaurids continue! Here we have Wally the PNSO Albertosaurus, sculpted in a dynamic running pose. Looks pretty impressive, although I have to wonder how well he can stand without the aid of a support rod.
Video: The Tyrannosaur’s Feathers – Book Trailer
0 (0 votes)
Trailer for my children’s picture book, ‘The Tyrannosaur’s Feathers’, co-written with Jonathan Emmett, illustrated by Stieven Van der Poorten, and published by UCLan Publishing.
“Tyrannosaurus rex may be the king of the dinosaurs, but that doesn’t stop know-it-all Velociraptor from telling him he looks old-fashioned and needs a makeover.
So, with an improved posture, some restyled body parts and a coat of shaggy feathers, T. rex gets a new look to match the latest evidence.
The Tyrannosaur’s Feathers takes an amusing and informative look at how new discoveries have transformed our understanding of T. rex’s appearance since this giant prehistoric predator was first unearthed over a century ago.”
It will be released on 3rd August 2023 and is now widely available for pre-orders.

Callichimaera perlexa is an enigmatic crustacean from the Middle Cretaceous. Fossils have been found in the Churuvita Group in Colombia and the Frontier Formation in the United States. C. perlexa evolved during the Cretaceous Crab Revolution, which was a major diversification of ‘true’ crabs during the Cretaceous.

Last year, when I wrote my review for the Hammond Collection T. rex I stated that, “I can finally say with some degree of confidence that I will never buy another Mattel T. rex, certainly not from the main line.

Review and photos by Faelrin, edited by Suspsy
Since 2018, when Mattel got the Jurassic World license, I’ve been wanting and waiting to see if they would make a Jurassic Park III Ankylosaurus, which has always been my favorite take on this animal in the franchise.

The newest reveal from Haolonggood is the famous Canadian nodosaurid, Edmontonia. The sculpting on the plate armour and shoulder spikes looks positively stellar! As with previous releases, it will be available in two distinct colour schemes.

Review: Lockwood Ultimate Battle Set (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)
3.1 (48 votes)
The ending of Jurassic World opened a can of worms to a world of possibilities as to where our favorite sci-fi dinosaur franchise was going. Luckily there was a ton of lore to draw from, whether it was from the books, game or other media, though maybe not as deep as Star Wars, but just like the Star Wars sequel trilogy, there was not much of a plan going forward in terms of movie-making.

Once in a while, Emperor Dinobot, who is me, will go to discount stores such as TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Ross and others to find stuff to eat, like veggie chips and so forth. Sometimes, some bargains are too cheap to leave behind, and that is…what this review is all about.
