Review: Ceratosaurus (Roarivores)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)

Genus: Ceratosaurus Brand: Jurassic World, Mattel Classification: Ceratosaur, Theropod Age: Jurassic Type: Action Figure

3.2 (15 votes)

Ceratosaurus was certainly not the biggest or the most dangerous theropod of Late Jurassic North America, but thanks to its prominent nasal horn, it was probably the most distinctive. As a result, it is rather popular among dinosaur fans; renowned paleontologist Robert Bakker has declared it to have been his favourite since 1958.

Review: Flat-headed Amphibian/Siderops (Lost Kingdoms Series A by Yowie)

Genus: Siderops Brand: Lost Kingdoms, Yowie Classification: Amphibian Age: Jurassic

3.3 (3 votes)

Even amongst collectors Yowie isn’t a well known company I dare say, so here’s a short introduction… Yowie is an Australian publishing brand that developed the mythical Yowie kingdom with stories and toys concentrating mostly on the Australian fauna. In the mid 90’s Yowie approached the British confectionery company Cadbury with the idea to market the toys with sweets as a vehicle.

Review: Psittacosaurus (Funrise)

Genus: Psittacosaurus Brand: Funrise Classification: Ceratopsian (basal) Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

2 (4 votes)

This is the third ‘first’ for the Dinosaur Toy Blog this week. Having earlier cast our eye over Wenno and Timpo toys, this next review is prompted by a discussion on the Dinotoyforum about Funrise. Funrise were founded in 1987 and still seem to be going strong today (http://www.funrise.com), although dinosaurs apparently left their repertoire a long time ago.

Review: Dinos (Toob by Safari Ltd.)

Genus: Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Dimetrodon, Diplodocus, Iguanodon, Pteranodon, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor Brand: Safari Ltd Classification: Ankylosaur, Ankylosaurid, Ceratopsian, Chasmosaur, Diplodocoid, Dromaeosaur, Iguanodont (basal), Ornithopod, Pelycosaur, Pterosaur, Sauropod, Stegosaur, Theropod, Theropod (basal), Thyreophoran, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous, Jurassic, Permian Type: Set, Tube

Safari’s very first prehistory toob is charming, but largely showing its age in the details and aesthetics of the figurines.
Toobs might be the unsung heroes of Safari Ltd.’s toy lines. I see them wherever Safari products are sold, even when their larger, standard-sized kin are absent.

Review: Tyrannosaurus rex (Timpo)

Genus: Tyrannosaurus Brand: Timpo Classification: Theropod, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine, Monochrome, Oldies

1.6 (14 votes)

For some reason I’m in a mood for firsts. So, here’s another company that hasn’t been featured on the Dinosaur Toy Blog before – Timpo Toys. And about time, too, this line really deserves some attention. Timpo was founded in England by German refugee Sally Gawrylovitz (also known as Ally Gee, aii) in 1938.

Review: Lambeosaurus (Wenno)

Genus: Lambeosaurus Brand: Wenno Classification: Hadrosaur, Ornithopod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

1.8 (4 votes)

We haven’t talked about Chinese company Wenno (see their website) here before, so, let’s take a look. Wenno seem to sell their figures only in sets, not individually. They produce several modern animal sets representing different geographical regions (continents and oceans); a couple of endangered animal sets; and four prehistoric sets: Jurassic, Cretaceous, Herbivore and Carnivore.

Review: Parasaurolophus (Jasman)

Genus: Parasaurolophus Brand: Jasman Classification: Hadrosaur, Ornithopod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

1 (6 votes)

I feel compelled to start this review with a bit of a disclaimer and a warning. First off, I want to point out that this is not the type of stuff I normally collect. My tastes are far more refined than that. However, like other intrepid collectors I always end up with a certain amount of bycatch, stuff that comes along with what I actually want but I’m not actually targeting.

Review: Suchomimus (Mini)(Schleich)

Genus: Suchomimus Brand: Schleich Classification: Spinosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

2.8 (6 votes)

Review and photographs by Rajvinder “IrritatorRaji” Phull, edited by Suspsy
Ever since its discovery in 1997, Suchomimus has never had any difficulty shying away from the public eye, even appearing in the Warpath: Jurassic Park video game only 11 months after it was officially named in November 1998.

Review: Smilodon (Bullyland)

Genus: Smilodon Brand: Bullyland Classification: Cat, Mammal Age: Pleistocene Type: Figurine

3 (4 votes)

Photographs and review by ‘Resurrection of the dinosaurs,’ edited by Suspsy
Bullyland is well known for its range of prehistoric animal models for an old museum line, which is now sadly discontinued. One week ago, I saw many Bullyland figures put on sale at my local toy shop; there were modern animal figures and some prehistoric ones that are still in production.

Review: Euoplocephalus (DinoWaurs Survival)

Genus: Euoplocephalus Brand: DinoWaurs Classification: Ankylosaur, Ankylosaurid, Thyreophoran Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine, Monochrome

3.6 (10 votes)

Photographs and review by Indohyus, edited by Suspsy
Once again I am back to reviewing another of the DinoWaurs line, seeing what is worth hunting for and what is not. With ankylosaurs being described as the tanks of the Mesozoic, it’s unsurprising that a couple would be included in this line.

Review: Tyrannosaurus (Safari Ltd.)

Genus: Tyrannosaurus Brand: Safari Ltd Classification: Theropod, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure, Figurine

2.9 (15 votes)

I first came across this odd T. rex toy early on in my collecting days, in a lot advertised on eBay. I didn’t get that lot but noticed that it kept popping up in lots over and over. It intrigued me but not enough to seek it out.

Review: Mini-Dino Multi-Pack (“Battle Damage”)(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by Mattel)

Genus: Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Dilophosaurus, Indominus, Indoraptor, Metriacanthosaurus, Mosasaurus, Pteranodon, Stegosaurus, Stygimoloch, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor Brand: Jurassic World, Mattel Classification: Ceratopsian, Ceratosaur, Chasmosaur, Diplodocoid, Dromaeosaur, Fictional, Mosasaur, Pachycephalosaur, Pterosaur, Sauropod, Spinosaur, Stegosaur, Theropod, Theropod (basal), Thyreophoran, Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous, Jurassic Type: Set

4 (14 votes)

Review and photographs by Cretaceous Crab, edited by Suspsy
Let me start out by saying that this pack of figures are obviously part of the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World toy franchise, and likewise, each figure is designed to be a representation of its silver screen counterpart. We all know that many of the prehistoric species featured in this franchise are not scientifically accurate.

Review: Carnivorous Dinos (Toob by Safari Ltd.)

Genus: Acrocanthosaurus, Allosaurus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Dilophosaurus, Dimetrodon, Elasmosaurus, Kronosaurus, Pteranodon, Spinosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor Brand: Safari Ltd Classification: Allosaur, Ceratosaur, Dromaeosaur, Pelycosaur, Plesiosaur, Pliosaur, Pterosaur, Theropod, Theropod (basal), Tyrannosaur Age: Cretaceous, Jurassic, Permian Type: Set, Tube

When it comes to tubes of miniatures, or “toobs,” Safari Ltd. remains the undisputed ruler. That said, they haven’t released any new toobs in years, and many of their prehistoric-themed ones are really showing their age. Today we’ll be examining one such example, Carnivorous Dinos, consisting of twelve miniatures representing a veritable Who’s Who of Mesozoic (and one Paleozoic) Meanies.

Review: Elasmosaurus (DinoWaurs Survival)

Genus: Elasmosaurus Brand: DinoWaurs Classification: Plesiosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine, Monochrome

3.9 (7 votes)

Photographs and review by Indohyus, edited by Suspsy
Once again, I am going back into the world of dinosaur trading figures, this time in the form of DinoWaurs survival. One thing I like is the diversity in this line, despite it being only 36 animals in total.

Review: Dimorphodon (Jurassic World by Hasbro)

Genus: Dimorphodon Brand: Hasbro, Jurassic World Classification: Pterosaur Age: Jurassic Type: Action Figure

1.8 (14 votes)

Surely enough as the seasons change, and time goes by, toys will be forgotten. Such is the case with this one, a 3 year old toy that I got second-hand in a lot of dinosaurs primarily purchased not as a collector, but as a father. So now I have a Jurassic World Hasbro toy, something I never actually wanted.
