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.
Review: Scutosaurus (Jurassic World, Hammond Collection by Mattel)
4.2 (5 votes)
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.

Review: Edmontonia (Haolonggood)
5 (5 votes)
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).
Review: Velociraptor (The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Site B Erasers by Impact Inc)

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?!

Check out this whopper of a set!
With 3145 pieces, it edges out T. rex Rampage as the biggest Jurassic-themed LEGO set. Like previous brick-built skeletons, it is poseable, although it looks like you may have to be careful to avoid pieces coming off.

Review: Palaeoscincus (Imperial)

In these days when dinosaur toys only get more and more hyperrealistic, it’s easy to forget that there was a time when they could be inaccurate not just by following outdated science, but also due to complete disregard for any kind of scientific considerations.

Before I start this review, I would like to thank our generous friends at Happy Hen Toys for providing this review sample. Of all of Haolonggood’s 2024 releases, this is the one I was most excited for, so I am honored to have been able to receive it as a gift.
Review: Hallucigenia (Plush by ZHONGXIN MADE)

The Cambrian was the very first period of the Paleozoic Era, beginning a little over 538 million years ago and lasting until the start of the Ordovician period 486 million years ago. And during those nearly 52 million years, all manner of weird and wonderful life evolved in the seas.

Review: Kronosaurus (Marx)

Review and photos by BlueKrono, edited by DinoToyBlog
If I were asked to pick a favorite dinosaur toy it would be a challenging query, but I think the one I’d settle on would be the Marx Kronosaurus. A relic of Marx’s early dinosaur lines, the swan-necked prehistoric reptile has a history going back almost a century.
