Back in 2016, I posted my first blog on the Dinosaur Toy Blog, Papo’s Woolly Rhino. Now, two and a half years later, I have hit a big mile stone, my 50th review. For big events like this, reviewers either go for a nostalgic piece from their collection, something big or something rare and pretty.

If you had to ask me what my favorite scene in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is, it would easily be the opening sequence. So once I heard that Mattel was in fact releasing a set based upon that scene, I knew I had to have it, once it was finally released.

Brontosaurus is an animal with a history plagued by a series of bouts of mistaken identity with the earlier named Apatosaurus since its naming in 1879 by Othniel Charles Marsh, the 1905 mount at the American Museum of Natural History being given the wrong skull (based on Camarasaurus, a species that was itself also known for a time by another name, Morosaurus), and the mount given a name plate that said ‘Brontosaurus.’ We have Henry Fairfield Osborn to thank for those last two decisions.

Review and Photographs by Indohyus
When it comes to Hadrosaurs, Parasaurolophus always seems to steal the lime light. The number of figures made of the species is huge, from high end to low end, from adults to juveniles. This leaves many of the rest of the family with very few figures, so any opportunity to grab copies of the more elusive species is often jumped upon.

Proceratosaurus was a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Middle Jurassic in England. It is one of the earliest known members of the Tyrannosauroidea clade, which contains Tyrannosaurus rex and its ancestors.

Review: Prehistoric Animals (Panini, review part 2)
4.3 (10 votes)
In part 1 of this review we looked at 12 dinosaur toys (and one pterosaur) from Panini’s Prehistoric Animals line. In part 2 we pick up where we left off to complete the full set of 24 toys.
Figure numbers 13 to 15 are a trio of marine reptiles, and their dark blue colour works very well for aquatic animals.
