For the third year in a row, Mojo Fun is releasing a Cenozoic mammal as their sole prehistoric figure. This time, it’s Coelodonta, the woolly rhinoceros, which should go well with the 2022 woolly mammoth.

Review: Ceratogaulus (MPC)
3.9 (24 votes)
A truly rare genus in the hobby to this day, MPC’s vintage figurine marks a bold move from a company most famous for its imitations – although the toy is perhaps showing its age with some design choices.
MPC (Multiple Products Corporation) is a well-known brand among experienced dinosaur collectors; their prehistoric line from 1961 and 1962 was widely sold through stores and catalogs for decades.
Review: Dilophosaurus (Jurassic Park 25th Anniversary, Pop! Movies by Funko)
2.1 (26 votes)
With this year being the 30-year anniversary of the release of Jurassic Park, I thought it was well past time (5 years to be exact) that I reviewed this figure that was released for the 25th anniversary of the film.

Review and photos by EmperorDinobot, edited by Suspsy
Today, we shall continue looking at the mainline Pteranodons from Mattel’s Jurassic World line, this time at the Dual Attack figure! Do I, EmperorDinobot like this figure? Read on to find out!
As I explained in my previous Mattel review here, all mainline Pteranodon figures measure 8 inches long x 16 inches wide and all sport the same general mold, but each one is more than a repaint.

Review and photos by EmperorDinobot, edited by Suspsy
When the first wave of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom figures by Mattel came out, I, Emperor Dinobot, was highly pleased. I was so pleased, I endeavored to post the first reviews of the first wave of Roarivores here, here, and here during the summer of 2018.
Review: Zuniceratops (Beasts of the Mesozoic: Ceratopsian Series by Creative Beast Studio)
4.9 (65 votes)
This modestly-sized (and priced) action figure is a fine representative of the detailed and stylish designs featured in David Silva’s spectacular Ceratopsian series.
I first heard of Zuniceratops a good 20 years ago, when Discovery Channel’s documentary special When Dinosaurs Roamed America aired on television.
News: Upcoming releases from Playmobil (New for 2023)
3.6 (7 votes)
Images of Playmobil’s 2023 Dino Rise line have appeared online, but disappointingly, all the prehistoric animals are repaints of previously released moulds, most of which have been in production since 2007. They still look like they’ll be fun to play with, however!
Tyrannosaurus rex.
Review: Ceratosaurus (2021)(Schleich)

Review and photos by Prehistory Resurrection, edited by Suspsy
Back in 1994, Schleich released its now-discontinued Replica-Saurus line of dinosaur figures, which included perhaps the goofiest, ugliest, and most hideous dinosaur figure ever manufactured, their first Ceratosaurus sculpt, in a quadrupedal stance.
Review: Cooperoceras (Prehistoric World by CollectA)
4.8 (28 votes)
Over the last 3 years CollectA has produced FIVE extinct cephalopods spanning the geologic ages between the Ordovician and the Cretaceous. A magnificent achievement that appears to have come to an end, for alas, no cephalopod has been announced for 2023. But do not despair, with figures of Koolasuchus and Anomalocaris on the horizon CollectA is continuing their streak of releasing the most diverse and interesting assortment of prehistoric critters of any mainstream company.

“Ho, ho, ho there, fellow dinosaur lovers! Yes, it is I, Dr. Bella Claus, at your service once again! And where would I be without my loyal and trusty steed, Bethdolf?”
“I told you not to call me that, Doc!”
“Oh, come along, Beth, you were the one who refused to wear the elf hat again.
Review: Pravitoceras (Prehistoric World by CollectA)

Most paleontology enthusiasts are familiar with ammonites, the predatory mollusks with muscular arms and calcium carbonate shells. Most ammonites’ shells were disc-shaped coils (planispiral) that contained chambers, some of which afforded buoyancy, and one of which housed the squishy parts of the animal.
