Torosaurus (PNSO Museum Line)
…skull and taller frill. So why hasn’t it reached the same level of fame as triceratops?Perhaps it is Triceratops close association with the most famous dinosaur of them all, Tyrannosaurus rex, that helped elevate it to iconic status; these two are forever intertwined throughout their long history that we can’t talk about or imagine one without the other. Obligatory Wilson shot: Torosaurus never did have a close association with T. rex perhaps expl…
Ceratopsian Collection (Capsule Q Museum by Kaiyodo)
…rting off with ol’ three-horned face. This is a dynamic and modern looking Triceratops. While the rest of the figures in this set are fairly static looking this Triceratops is depicted as an active animal, galloping forward with two limbs in the air and the other two propelling it forward. The body is gray with red quills and red streaking down the frill. There is a green color variation of this model with yellow bands on the quills, a brown frill…
Nanotyrannus (PNSO)
…be found and seems to have abandoned this area. In one, he noticed a young triceratops down with multiple wounds. This animal was the casualty of the hunt that ended in chaos. Surprisingly, the Triceratops is still alive but barely. Hungry and desperate, Logan made the fateful decision to try and tackle it alone.As he approaches the dying animal, it suddenly tried to get up on its feet, mustering all the energy left in its body to make one last ef…
Cretaceous Collection (Kaiyodo Capsule Q Museum)
…ed! And now to the dinosaurs! It just wouldn’t be a Cretaceous set without Triceratops, and here it is – specifically T. horridus. This one’s probably my favorite of the lot, though I admit to a degree of personal bias. It shares much with the Triceratops from Kaiyodo’s recent ceratopsian set, but I was delighted to discover that nothing was outright re-used. This version is a somewhat more traditional look at the animal. You’ll not see quills her…
Dr. Wu’s Lab: Baby Dinosaurs Breakout (Jurassic World by LEGO)
…complete with an attractive golden faucet piece. Plus a few greens for the Triceratops to consume. But whatever is that black lever for?” “Oh, that’s the action feature, Doc. Pushing down on the lever causes the glass to pop off as if the baby Triceratops just broke through!” “Bully, Beth, bully! Finally we come to the large work table. Here we have a tranquilizer rifle with extra sedatives, a microscope complete with a Petrie dish, a laptop, a ye…
Z-Cardz Prehistoric Series 2 (California Creations)
…aurs, but in case you’re wondering: no, Z-Cardz did not boldly reinterpret Triceratops as a Skullcrawler-style biped. The downside to card models like these is that they tend to be delicate, and a little too much force during construction or play can lead to breakage. My poor Triceratops was such a victim at some point in the past I’ve since forgotten, and regrettably it’s the only one I have available for review. Damage aside, the model appears s…
Gentle Giants Petting Zoo (Jurassic World by Lego Duplo)
…edium and light yellow with light yellow eyes and light brown stripes. The Triceratops measures 6 cm long and slightly over 5 cm tall at the frill, and is light blue and teal with dark yellow markings and eyes and white horns. They both look pretty cute!” “Arguably a little too cute, Beth. While these toys are unmistakable as Brachiosaurus and Triceratops, their proportions and appearance have clearly been compromised in order to appear to childre…
Jurassic World Minifigures (Hasbro)
…nitpicks to most people, and I can’t help but praise it for the tiny head. Triceratops Scientific Accuracy Triceratops seems to be a staple for the JP franchise, as it appeared in pretty much every movie along with the raptors and T. rex. The minifigure is in a decent pose with the animal standing tall and strong. Unfortunately, the front legs are not sprawled enough to the side, and the palms face straight back instead of each other. The back is…
Styracosaurus Maquette by Sideshow Dinosauria
…g to its backstory, the horns do look awfully pristine. The keratin on the Triceratops and Carnotaurus horns look the way one would expect – with divots, outgrowth, and evidence of exposure to the elements. Where it’s the most apparent for me is on the orbital crests. Bear in mind by alluding to the Triceratops as a comparison this is NOT by any means a critique of David Krentz’s style as opposed to Adrian Taboada’s; as evidenced by the T.rex maqu…
Mighty Dinosaurs (Creator by Lego)
…I’m gonna stick with that.” “I agree with your hypothesis, Beth. Like the Triceratops, this sauropod is possibly just a youngster, as it’s relatively small. Still, it can raise its head to a height of slightly more than 14 cm or stretch itself out to a length of 26 cm.” “Sure is well articulated, Doc! The head and neck have two ball joints and a hinge joint, the tail has two ball joints, and there are ball joints at the shoulders and hips. And gr…
Styracosaurus (Ferrero Kinder Überraschung)
…e, is that this ceratopsian doesn’t resemble a Styracosaurus at all, but a Triceratops. Other specimens of the line also do not resemble their namesake at all. The Iguanodon, for instance, looks more like a crocodile-headed theropod. Overall, the names selected for the figures seem a quite exotic choice to me, as there’s a Gorgosaurus and a Diplodocus as well, although the figures show no traits that make them discernible from a generic theropod o…
Dinosaurs: Prehistoric Museum Collection, Series 2 (Larami Corp)
…he advantage of hindsight, as evidence now exists to support integument on Triceratops that’s more similar to Larami’s version than Invicta’s). The face has been tweaked, giving the figure a shorter, scrunched face with a humorously sour expression. The brow horns bulge a bit oddly and stick out straight like bayonets from the forehead. The frill is neatly round (with a cloverleaf edge), but rather small in proportion. The figure does retain Invic…
3D Dinosaur Pictorial Book (The Access)
…(2.75 in) in total length. Like its theropodian contemporary, however, the Triceratops looks a little lean on the physique – although the general anatomy looks more decent. The species of Triceratops is not given on the package (at least not in English); the beak and nose horn appear closer to T. prorsus than the more popular T. horridus, but the brow horns and overly curled bony frill don’t really match either species. The back is very shallow an…
Pachyrhinosaurus (Papo) (New for 2010)
…have made them all more uniform in color. (papo Allosaurus head for scale purposes) All in all this is the best Pachyrhinosaurus replica on the market. The price, however, is a little off-putting – it’s the same size as the Wild Safari Triceratops but it’s triple the price! For that I think they could have made it the same size as the Papo Triceratops, but this is still one of the best ceratopsian toys ever produced and it is still very worth owni…
Medusaceratops (‘Fan’s Choice’ version, Beasts of the Mesozoic Ceratopsian Series by Creative Beast Studio)
…y (specimen AMNH FARB 6418, Brown and Schlaikjer, 1940), and chasmosaurine Triceratops prorsus (specimen CMNFV 56508, Alan McDonald, 2018). The former Protoceratops may have had tiny polygonal basement scales on the beak, frill, and the jugals, while the latter Triceratops has been found with small basement scales (and potentially epidermal scales), which was previously thought to have a keratin covering on it. Neither specimen was described in gr…
Dinosaurs I (Authentics Habitat Collection by Safari ltd.)
…y. Although no less stumpy and round than the rest of the set’s dinosaurs, Triceratops keeps its head and tail held high, with its four blocky legs lifting the belly well off the ground. The three distinctive horns are fairly straight and pointy (but not too pointy), and the round frill is adorned with a lining of large scales or spikes. Additional large scales, as seen on many of the others dinosaurs, are arranged in irregular patterns on the fla…
Dinosaur Mini Tub A (Papo)
…he same dull colours and sculpts as their big versions. First we have this Triceratops. At first sight, it looks good. The eppocipitals, beak, horns, and toe nails are painted grey and the main colours for the body are light washed muddy brown merged in algae green, which may have been spray painted. The eyes are painted black. There are scales sculpted all over the body and also sculpted nostrils. I think this charming little Triceratops is good…
Dinosaur Colosseum (2019 release by Takara Tomy)
…ulpted in a neutral standing position. Like the T. rex and the Raptor, the Triceratops looks like it’s drawing inspiration primarily from Jurassic Park, with a distinctively sloped back and low-slung head, wrinkly facial/body texture, and cracked keratin surfaces to the horns. Anatomically, the Triceratops is fairly decent, although the beak is rather snubbed and the shoulder/forearm region looks mis-proportioned. The horns are shaped nicely, and…
Protoceratops (Carnage Dinosaurs by ReSaurus/Toysmith)
…osaurus! This is because the Protoceratops uses the same exact body as the Triceratops and Styracosaurus, but it comes with a different head, and it is painted mostly olive green and black. All ReSaurus dinosaurs come with a base, but unfortunately mine did not come with one. All herbivores use the same base though, so it is acceptable to use the base of another dinosaur. For a more in-depth review of the body mold, please see my review of the Tri…
Tyrannosaurus rex (Dinosauria by Wild Republic)
…t represented theropod dinosaurs of the group. It preyed on dinosaurs like Triceratops and Edmontosaurus, and had a very good sense of smell. It did not hesitate to fight its own species over territory and food – a fearsome dinosaur. Scientists’ depiction of this dinosaur has changed over the years, with some speculating that it possessed feathers, and others suggesting that it lost them in its adult form. It weighed 5,000 to 9,000 kg. Wild Republ…
