Torosaurus (Walking With Dinosaurs by Toyway)
…Triceratops is the animal most often chosen to be featured. However, while Triceratops made a cameo appearance as a T. rex‘s courtship offering in the BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs, the main ceratopsian was the lesser known Torosaurus instead (whether it or not it turns out to be a mature Triceratops, we will see). They also chose it as one of the animals to be featured in the (annoyingly collectable) Toyway line, and that is what I will be re…
Stegosaurus Corpse (CollectA)
…s. The sculpting on the Stegosaurus is excellent, even more so than on the Triceratops. The body has a fine pebbled texture with large wrinkles to emphasize the muscles. The plates are pebbled at the base but then become ridged. Each one is a slightly different shape. Similarly, two of the four spikes comprising the famous thagomizer are longer than their companions. The Stegosaurus is sculpted in a classic “death pose,” lying on its right side wi…
Tyrannosaurus rex (Dino Kingdom 2012 by Takara Tomy)
…rst feathered T. rex – the 2011 sculpt that accompanied the aforementioned Triceratops also boasted a handsome mane – but this iteration shows marked improvements, both in sculpting and painting finesse and in its far more striking pose and imaginative colouration. The punkish green mohawk is probably a step too far, but the bold, almost tribal patterns on the face certainly make it stand out from the gigantic horde of T. rex figures out there. Fo…
Chasmosaurus ( Kaiyodo Natural History Collection)
…osaurus is one of 4 ceratopsians from the Dinoland series, the other being Triceratops, Anchiceratops, and Styracosaurus. Now I am not that familiar with this collection’s history, especially which species were released as kits only versus having both the kit and pre-made versions. As far as I know there are at least 21 different species, maybe more. What make it even confusing is there was also a different set of much smaller figures also called…
Nasutoceratops (Jurassic World Dino-Rivals, Duel Attack by Mattel)
…a Pachyrhinosaurus). Being a Nasutoceratops it should be smaller than the Triceratops but it’s really the Triceratops that’s too small, and not the Nasutoceratops being too large that is the issue. The body is made of hard plastic but the tail, limbs, and head are all a softer rubber material. The horns and frill are particularly soft and flexible so there is no need to worry about children stabbing themselves with this toy as the horns bend easi…
Sinoceratops (Jurassic World Sound Strike by Mattel)
…described by E.D. Cope in 1872 who’s remains are almost certainly that of Triceratops. Agathaumas would go on to be immortalized in a painting by Charles R. Knight, and landed a starring role in 1925’s The Lost World. For that reason, I find this Sinoceratops design immensely appealing. Never mind the accuracy though, we know what we’re getting here. This is a splendid action figure from Mattel. The animal looks robust and formidable. It actually…
Utahceratops (Beasts of the Mesozoic by Creative Beast Studio)
…ed to the very long, forward-facing ones on Pentaceratops, Torosaurus, and Triceratops. This may indicate that Utahceratops‘ horns and frill were more for display and recognition than defense, although it probably would have used them for the latter if it came to that. Its main enemy would have been the tyrannosaurid Teratophoneus, which is slated to receive its own BotM figure in 2023. I reckon I’ll probably end up getting it so that my Utahcerat…
Styracosaurus (PNSO)
…aurus also happens to be the second ceratopsian, next only to you guess it Triceratops, to have the most figure in toy form.Today we will take a look at the newest addition, the exquisite Styracosaurus from the powerhouse PNSO new for 2022. The most famous ceratopsians join force with PNSO. For decades, the Battat Styracosaurus has been my favorite model of this dinosaur despite multiple options from other brands. I just love how this figure looks…
Liaoceratops (Age of the Dinosaurs by PNSO)
…ts family, and thus offers us a unique glimpse into how later animals like Triceratops evolved in the first place. Here, courtesy of PNSO, is Hehe the Liaoceratops. She is sculpted in a walking stance with her head turned sharply to the right and her tail swaying to the left, giving her a length of 8 cm. Unlike the flat, utterly plain bases that certain figures from the first wave of miniatures are mounted on, Hehe’s is shaped like a rocky mound o…
Mercuriceratops (CollectA)
…cury horned-face.” Only described in 2014, this relative of the well-known Triceratops is from the rich badlands of Montana’s Judith River Formation and also up north in Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park. Estimated to be six feet tall and weighing in at two tons, this plant eater from the Late Cretaceous period is no small animal. Unfortunately, very little fossil material is known. Only a partial skull from two individuals are know, and they are…
Tyrannosaurus (Dino Dana Feathered T. rex by Safari Ltd.)
…. It will be interesting to see if down the road Safari releases an orange Triceratops, blue Stegosaurus, and purple Brachiosaurus. Also, if you’re wondering why I know so much about Dino Dana keep in mind, I’m a parent. The Dino Dana feathered T. rex is new for 2021 and retails for about $30. It makes a great companion to the older T. rex, or a nice alternative to it if you don’t already have it. With the Safari Daspletosaurus and Yutyrannus. Wit…
Pentaceratops (Haolonggood)
…They remind me of some vintage restorations of Triceratops and the Invicta Triceratops in particular. I don’t know what compelled Haolonggood to add them, but they don’t bother me and in fact, I kind of like them. Finally, there are skin folds and wrinkles aplenty, mostly sagging around the torso and limb joints. There is also a sculpted cloaca. Like all Haolonggood dinosaurs this Pentaceratops comes in two different colors, an “orange” one and th…
Pachyrhinosaurus (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, Captivz Build Nā Battle Dinos by ToyMonster)
…. With the Captivz Nasutoceratops and Triceratops. With Pachyrhinosaurus figures by Safari and Haolonggood. With a bunch of other little ceratopsians. Einiosaurus by PNSO, Triceratops by Schleich, Chasmosaurus and Torosaurus by Safari, Triceratops by Mattel, and Diabloceratops by Kaiyodo….
Edmontosaurus (Haolonggood)
…in the Hell Creek formation and would have lived alongside Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Ankylosaurus. Both Edmontosaurus species were among the largest ornithopods, reaching lengths between 30-40’ (9-12 meters). No comb is known for E. annectens currently. In addition to the comb, the most obvious difference lies in the skull shapes, with E. annectens having a long, low, less robust skull than E. regalis. The comb alone would suggest that Haol…
Dingy Dino (TMNT by Playmates)
…at one such toy, the “Dingy Dino.” Dingy, who is clearly intended to be a Triceratops, was released alongside his master Cave-Turtle Leo way back in 1992 as part of the original TMNT line. The following year saw the releases of Cave-Turtle Don and his Trippy Tyrannosaurus, Cave-Turtle Mike and his Silly Stegosaurus, and Cave-Turtle Raph and his Tubular Pterodactyl. These were followed in 1994 by Cave-Beast Bebop and his Bodacious Brontosaurus and…
Explorer with Dinos (1.2.3 by Playmobil)
…rward to enlightening him in the future. š Here we have an adorable little Triceratops measuring 11 cm long. Its colours are similar, but not identical to those of the large version: light orange with light brown spots and dark grey for the eyes and nasal horn. It is sculpted in a rigid standing pose with its tail curving to the right. The horns are mere nubs, the tip of the tail is blunt, the feet are like the legs on chairs, and the skin is comp…
Dinosaur Fossils (Ideas by LEGO)
…d accessories to excavate any of the fossils (base not included). Next up: Triceratops! This trike is 12” long, clocking her in at 1/30 scale, meaning that she is closest in scale to the minifig. While not as posable as the Pteranodon, she still has articulation at the neck and tail. Her head uses some very ingenious techniques, using the same piece as her eyes and the connection point for the horns. Sadly, she cannot be removed from her base due…
Bendable Dinosaur Playset (Dorda)
…et, which I assume to be Euoplocephalus. The others are Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus, and Pteranodon. There is nothing printed on their bellies except Dorda 198?. I have owned this set for around six years or so. For research purposes, I do look them up on Google once in a while, and some individual figures with different color applications have showed up. For example, I did see a red and white Triceratops show up on e…
Herbivore dinosaur set (Wenno)
…ures enough, to be a juvenile for larger figures. Next, unsurprisingly, is Triceratops, and old three horned face looks quite good here. The brown-beige mix is good, and the size of 5.4″ long and 2.7″ high means it mixes well with other lines. Pity the that it is another plagiarised piece, yet again looking like a cheaper version of the better, and larger, Schleich Triceratops. Shame really. Finally, we have my personal favourite, Ankylosaurus. Su…
