Time again to downsize with CollectA’s second tube collection. Like the previous set I reviewed, this one came out in late 2015 and contains no fewer than ten teeny toy dinosaurs and other prehistoric monsters, a couple of them making their debut with CollectA.

Review: Spinosaurus (Tsukuda Hobby Collection)

Genus: Spinosaurus Brand: Tsukuda Classification: Spinosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

3.5 (4 votes)

Review and photos by docronnie, edited by Suspsy
Like all Tsukuda figures from the standard 13 piece set in the 1980s’, this Spinosaurus is made of hollow vinyl plastic in a multi-piece construction moulded into a single piece; hence the evident appearance of seams along the head, extremities, and tail.

Review and photos by Lanthanotus, edited by Suspsy
Today I want to introduce you to a figure so obsolete that one can almost only recognize it by the big sail set on the somewhat generic theropod body: the Spinosaurus from Schleich’s Replica-Saurus 1:40 line, released in 1993.

Review: Six little dinosaurs (Tyrannosaurus, Mamenchisaurus, Amargasaurus, Ankylosaurus, Spinosaurus, Triceratops) (PNSO)

Enter the PNSO! I first became aware of The Peking Natural Science-Art Organisation in March 2016, when I visited their offices and workshop in Beijing on a work-related business trip. It was with great excitement that I discovered this blossoming company has its sights set not only on literature and 2D palaeoart (my expectation going in), but also on commercially available 3D art as well: dinosaur toys.

In the first half of 2016, the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo, Japan, held an event simply named ‘The Dinosaur Expo’ (still ongoing at the time of writing). Though I haven’t been myself, the exhibit seems to focus on recent dinosaur discoveries, with an accompanying set of figures.

Review: Spinosaurus (Deluxe Walker by CollectA)

Genus: Spinosaurus Brand: CollectA Classification: Spinosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

Review and photographs by Dinomike, edited by Suspsy
CollectA has demonstrated that they’re ready to play in the niche market scene by pandering to their small, but potentially loyal dinosaur community. Faster than a Gallimimus running on a Cretaceous treadmill, they’ve sped past their competitors and produced not only one, but three amazing interpretations of Spinosaurus aegypticus based on Paul Sereno and Nizar Ibrahim’s scientific paper published in 2014.

Review: Spinosaurus (Soft Model Series 2 by Favorite Co. Ltd.)

Genus: Spinosaurus Brand: Favorite Co. Ltd. Classification: Spinosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

How do you like your Spinosaurus? The reason why I ask, is that when it comes to Spinosaurus, there is still a lot of speculation and hypothesis about its actual anatomy, posture and gait. It leaves it wide open for interpretation for paleo artists and toy makers.

Before I begin this review, I want to get something off my chest. In case it wasn’t already apparent, I like Schleich’s World Of History dinosaur figures. I think they are very distinctive from other brands, and I think each model has a certain charm to it.

Review and photos by Nathan ‘Takama’ Morris, edited by amargasaurus cazaui and Suspsy
Jurassic World featured its fair share of prehistoric creatures, and surprisingly, most of the animals that were featured in the previous three films made an appearance in some form.

Review: Spinosaurus (Electronic Deluxe by Chap Mei)

Genus: Spinosaurus Brand: Chap Mei Classification: Spinosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure

Another staple of the Chap Mei prehistoric line is that famous, finned, and fearsome fish-eater from Early Cretaceous Africa, Spinosaurus!

This version of the spined lizard measures a good 28 cm long and stands about 16 cm tall at the sail.

Review: Spinosaurus (Swimmer and Walker by CollectA)

Genus: Spinosaurus Brand: CollectA Classification: Spinosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine

Her limbs paddling, her tail undulating, her great sail cutting through the water like a razor blade, the angler pursues her quarry. Although she cannot see in the murky water, her narrow snout contains pressure sensors that detect the slightest movement. A quick jerk of her neck, a snap of her jaws, and a fat coelacanth is caught.

Review: Spinosaurus (The Lost World: Jurassic Park by Kenner)

Genus: Spinosaurus Brand: Jurassic Park, Kenner Classification: Spinosaur, Theropod Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure

3 (8 votes)

For over a century, the paleontologists and museums were the guardians of knowledge concerning beasts from the paleo world. Before the dark times…before Jurassic Park. Ok, so maybe not the dark times, but the fact remains that many in the general public owe their knowledge of dinosaurs due to what they learned in Jurassic Park.
