Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster, for sending me this figure to share on the blog.
Jurassic World: Dominion may have been a bloated mess of a film and a disappointing end to the Jurassic World trilogy but it’s hard to deny that it had its moments.
My sincerest thanks to Happy Hen Toys for their generosity in sending me this figure to review here. This figure is for sale over there, along with many more prehistoric animals from numerous fan favorite brands like CollectA, Haolonggood, PNSO, Safari Ltd, and so many more.
REBOR has revealed not one, but two 1:2 scale figures of Beelzebufo, the 23 cm long frog from Late Cretaceous Madagascar.
As you can see, each version is impressively sculpted and boasts a good deal of articulation.
Images of six new Jurassic World: Rebirth LEGO sets have now appeared.
Raptor Off-Road Escape. A new raptor figure is included. While it looks more accurate than the old one, it’s far less poseable.
T. rex River Escape. Same figure as it’s always been.
The Dinosaur Toy Forum Diorama Contest 2025 sponsored by Happy Hen Toys is now open!
It’s time to get creative again and begin planning and building your ‘dinoramas’ for the latest contest! And thanks to the fantastic folks at Happy Hen Toys we’re delighted to announce there are generous prizes this year.
We’ve already posted about the upcoming 1/18 scale Stegosaurus, Andrewsarchus, and Smilodon for Creative Beast Studio’s Beasts of the Mesozoic and Beasts of the Cenozoic lines. Now let’s check out even more exciting new poseable figures that will be coming out this summer.
Furcatoceratops is a recently discovered centrosaurine ceratopsid from Montana’s Judith River Formation. The holotype specimen is an 80% complete subadult that includes much of the skull, both the left front and hind legs, parts of the pelvis, and a good many vertebrae and ribs.
PNSO’s first toy for the year is Judith the Spiclypeus, a chasmosaurine ceratopsid from the Judith River Formation in Montana (heh).
The blue and orange on her head go well together. Quite a sharp beak there too.
Perhaps the most surprising addition to the Hammond Collection so far, today we’re looking at the Scutosaurus. Scutosaurus has never appeared in any Jurassic media aside from the Jurassic World: Alive augmented reality game but the Permian pareiasaur has popped up repeatedly in Jurassic franchise toy lines.
More Jurassic World: Rebirth toys have been revealed. First is the Launch n’ Battle Vehicle with Velociraptor set.
Micro Adventure Playsets, reminiscent of Mighty Max. Surely I’m not the only one here who fondly remembers those?
Tyrannosaurus rex.
Out of all the exciting releases unveiled by Haolonggood in 2023, there were few I anticipated more than the nodosaur Edmontonia, which began arriving to vendors in June. Named after the Edmonton (Horseshoe Canyon) Formation in Canada where the type species was discovered, Edmontonia isn’t one of the most famous dinosaurs, nor even necessarily one of my own favorites; yet it’s known from enough substantial fossil remains to make common appearances in dinosaur literature growing up (especially in Dorling Kindersley publications, featuring the Royal Tyrrell Museum’s life model).
While the merchandise accompanying the release of the various Jurassic Park films ranged between everything from watches to bed-sheets, the most exciting items for me were of course the dinosaur figures. So I was happy to find this cool little Velociraptor figure with a big The Lost World logo on the packaging at a Copenhagen dinosaur exhibition back in 1998, only to find when I opened it that it was… A rubber pencil eraser?!
