The current Jurassic World Survival line from Mattel has proven somewhat lackluster so far and put a pause on my Jurassic World toy collecting. As a result, my list of Mattel toys to review has been whittled down to only a few figures, including the remaining ’93 Classic Collection toys. So, the silver lining in this year’s lull is that...
Review and images by Henry, age 12, edited by Suspsy Gallimimus was a large ornithomimid from the Campanian and Maastrichtian of the Nemegt Formation in Mongolia and coexisted with a large array of popular fauna such as Tarbosaurus, Therizinosaurus, and Deinocheirus, as well as lesser known ones like Barsboldia, Tarchia, and Adasaurus. It was described in 1972 and remained in...
Gallimimus from the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia is the largest known ornithomimid at around 6 metres/20 feet in length and 450 kg/1000 lbs in mass. It is also arguably the most famous thanks to its appearances in the Jurassic Park franchise. But there really haven’t been very many toys of it, just as there haven’t been very many ornithomimid toys, period. Schleich is...
Flocking off toy shelves and into our hearts and homes, it’s the Hammond Collection Galli-Galli-Gallimimus. As part of the Hammond Collection this figure boasts 13 points of articulation and an increased level of paint and fine detail not seen with the Mattel mainline toys. As such, it should be the best Jurassic Park Gallimimus action figure ever produced but let’s...
The Jurassic Park/World has had it’s fair share of miniature dino models, from the original metal ones to hard plastic. Now Jurassic World Dominion brings hard (ish) rubber, safer for siblings, and we see one and two packs of minis, giving plenty of material to review. But how to cover them? By two pack, as individuals? I am going to...
I reviewed the original Attack Pack Gallimimus back in 2018, with its sandy brown color tones, it was the first of many Gallimimus toys from Mattel. Indeed, the Attack Pack Gallimimus has received so many re-paints over the last few years that I would be hard pressed to list them all. I don’t normally indulge in repaints, preferring instead to...
Review and photos by Faelrin, edited by Suspsy I ended up picking up this Legacy Collection 6 pack during the 2018 holiday season while it was on clearance at Target, after waiting most of the year being indecisive about it. I’ve decided it’s definitely a nice little set of figures, even if most are repaints. There’s a figure of Dr....
Flocking this way and back into our hearts, here comes the Gallimimus, not only is it featured again in the Jurassic Park franchise’s 5th installment but it’s back on the toy shelves as well. Gallimimus has featured in all but one Jurassic Park movies to date. That’s quite an accomplishment for a genus that belongs to one of...
Review and photos by Bokisaurus, edited by Suspsy The Battat line of 1:40 scale dinosaurs is so famous that it needs little introduction. Rightly so, as these figures are some of the best representation of dinosaurs in toy form. In fact, even after 20+ years, the line is still is considered one of the best. Today, we will take a...
Colorata’s first dinosaur set doesn’t hold up perfectly to modern science, but overall these are nicely made figures good for both play and display. There seem to be regrettably few quality dinosaur playsets on the market these days, be it for adult collectors or kids. However, the number is not zero. Japanese company Colorata has produced several sets as part...
We’re finally past the halfway point in our effort to review all the little “Jurassic Park” dinosaurs put out by Dakin back in 1992, with today’s review concerning one of their better efforts; the Gallimimus. The Dakin line of “Jurassic Park” dinosaurs consist of 6 dinosaurs in total, representing the dinosaurs of the original film. Although crudely made they have...
Review and photographs by Indohyus, edited by Suspsy In recent years, the pantheon of ornithomimosaur figures has expanded more than ever before. Though still an underrepresented family of dinosaurs, these omnivorous/herbivorous theropods are very interesting oddities that only a few companies have tried to represent. Here is AAA’s attempt at a bird-mimic: Gallimimus, one of the largest members of the...
