Review: Parasaurolophus (Baby)(AAA)
4.4 (8 votes)
Review and photographs by Funk, edited by Suspsy
Parasaurolophus seems to be the hadrosaur with the most toy representations by far, no doubt due to its charismatic, iconic head crest. It just looks neat, design-wise, compared to, for example, Lambeosaurus with its weird hatchet, Corythosaurus with its dull plate, or Tsintaosaurus and the unfortunate way its crest used to be depicted.
Review: Baryonyx (Mojo Fun)
3.2 (11 votes)
Baryonyx walkeri is a well known dinosaur in this community so I don’t think it needs an introduction. When it comes to replicas there are more than enough to choose from. However, all of these toys differ in quality, with the best ones either being hard to obtain, or simply out of date.
Review: Deinotherium (Eofauna)
4.9 (34 votes)
The pungent stench of masuclinity crawls along the edge of the forest. Leaves rustling softly as a vicious looking creatures ambles through the undergrowth. The young Deinotherium male looks up and hesitates as the potential adversary strides onto the grassy clearing.
Review: Megalodon ( PNSO Scientific Arts)

Review and photos by Bokisaurus
When it comes to suffering from identity crisis, no other extinct species exhibits this more than the mighty Megalodon (Carcharocles megalodon), which is ironic given how popular it is.This identity crisis is of course due to the fact that very little fossil material is available to help create an accurately restoration of it and that the majority of the restorations, from paleo art to movies, are all based on the extant Great White shark, a species that many believed for years it resembles.
Despite this crisis, Megalodon is the most famous of the extinct sharks, and possibly only surpassed in popularity by the extant Great White that still roam todays oceans.
Review: Borealopelta (CollectA)
4.9 (24 votes)
Before we sink our teeth into a toy that is based upon one of the most exciting fossil discoveries ever made, I have a few thanks to give out. First I would like to thank CollectA for supplying this sample and its continuing support to the writers at the Dinosaur Toy Blog. I also would like to thank Suspsy, who has made this review possible.

Review: Dorygnathus (DinoWaurs Survival)
3.7 (10 votes)
Greetings DinoWaurriors! Today we are looking at another gem of the line, not just because of the great look, but also due to the fact that this is the only figure of the species, at least as of writing this. Here, we investigate DinoWaurs Dorygnathus, a relative of Rhamphorhynchus from the Jurassic of Bavaria.
Review: Triceratops (Remote Controlled)(The Lost World: Jurassic Park by Toy Biz)

Review and photographs by Funk, edited by Suspsy
After so many years of the DinoToyBlog examining every obscure corner of the dinosaur toy landscape, you’d think all older products in the Jurassic Park franchise to have been fully covered. That mainly seems to be the case for the beloved Kenner lines, but there are still many strange toys by other companies left unexamined, including the subject of this review.
Review: Apatosaurus/Brontosaurus (Kaiyodo Dinoland Natural History Collection)

Review and photos by Bokisaurus
Part 5 – the conclusion of the the five -part Kaiyodo Dinoland Natural History review series.
The name Brontosaurus is one of the classic and most famous dinosaur names in the world. For many, the name Brontosaur is synonymous with sauropods in general.
Review: Allosaurus (UKRD)
2 (6 votes)
Review and photographs by Funk, edited by Suspsy
The UKRD dinosaurs were mass-produced back in the early 1990s’, and don’t seem to be particularly sought after today, but some of them appear to have been inspired by John Sibbick’s palaeoart in David Norman’s 1985 Encyclopaedia of Dinosaurs, which I think makes them somewhat interesting.
Review: Dakosaurus (PNSO)
4.5 (31 votes)
Dakosaurus means “biter lizard,” a most appropriate name for any metriorhynchid. There are currently two recognized species: D. maximus from throughout Europe and D. andiniensis from Argentina. Unlike other metriorhynchids, D. andiniensis possessed a noticeably short, deep snout, which has led it to be nicknamed “Godzilla.” It is also the geologically youngest known metriorhynchid, hailing from the Early Cretaceous as well as the Late Jurassic.
