If you were in the marketing department of a company intending to put out a line of dinosaur toys, it’s odds on that you would include a Triceratops, right? Not only do most brands have a Triceratops in their range, but the species is frequently updated and released in different versions.

Review: Triceratops (Dead) (Collecta)
4.7 (14 votes)
For many collectors, young and old, part of the appeal of dinosaur figures – perhaps even their primary appeal – is that they help render long-lost worlds as exciting and vibrant as the one around us today. They bring to life creatures known only from rocks in a vivid, three dimensional, colourful and exciting way.
Review: Triceratops (Deluxe)(Procon CollectA)
1.7 (9 votes)
As we all know, Triceratops is a staple of any dinosaur collection. CollectA’s standard sized line may have a Triceratops, but its cartoonish, caricature design leaves much to be desired – and adding a baby Triceratops figure doesn’t help. It may have taken some time, but in 2010, the company finally gave ol’ three horns a proper spot in their “Deluxe” line of prehistoric critters.
Review: Triceratops (Desktop model by Favorite Co. Ltd.)
4.8 (6 votes)
This year Favorite have released this resculpt of their ‘Desktop’ Triceratops, and from an anatomical perspective it’s a huge improvement. The ‘Desktop’ models are freestanding resin statues that also come with a wooden plinth to look all grown-up like. Since the plinth isn’t attached you are free to discard it and display them alongside your less worthy plastic toys, for consistency’s sake.
Review: Triceratops (DINO by Lego)

“Salutations, fellow dinosaur lovers! I am Dr. Bella Bricking and here with me is Beth Buildit. Time to review another Lego dinosaur!”
“And I’m guessing that opera helmet has something to do with it, Doc?”
“That’s correct, Beth! Today we’ll be looking at the huge and horned Triceratops!”
“Right, horns, I get it.

Review: Triceratops (Dinoland by Sinclair)
3.7 (9 votes)
The Sinclair Triceratops might look quaint to collectors spoiled modern toy brands, but it’s a very finely-made little figurine that’s quite accurate for its time.
I wasn’t too aware of the history of dinosaur toys and collecting until recently, when I came into the acquisition of a few older figurines from my grandparents’ collection.
Review: Triceratops (Dinotales Series 5 by Kaiyodo)
2.8 (11 votes)
Triceratops is the largest known ceratopsian and lived at the very end of the reign of dinosaurs in what is now North America. Kaiyodo came out with two different renditions of this dinosaur, one in its first series and then a newer, more up to date rendition in its fifth series featured here.

The idea of blind bags and boxes to distribute toys is not a new idea. For years, many companies and toy lines have done this, and dinosaurs are not an unknown feature of these blind grabs. This includes the DinoWaurs trading figure line, with the idea being that kids and collectors will trade duplicates with each other and battle using the cards provided with the figures.

Review: Triceratops (Field Museum Mold-A-Rama)
4.3 (4 votes)
We’re about to step back in time again kids, and no, not to the Mesozoic but to the 1964 World’s Fair. Although this figure was “made” quite recently it has its roots as a souvenir produced by the once popular Mold-A-Rama machines that used to be present at various tourist destinations and at least in this case are still available at Chicago’s Field Museum.
Review: Triceratops (Happinet)

Photographs and review by Indohyus, edited by Suspsy
The number of Triceratops models and figures can hardly be counted at this point. Every line has one, some great, some not. Here I will be examining the one from Happinet, a Japanese company, that created a series of articulated dinosaur figures, similar in certain styles to the Sega Dinosaur King line.

Review: Triceratops (Invicta)
4.2 (20 votes)
Ah, the Invicta dinosaurs – every one a retro-tastic delight, and every one now sadly out of production (and replaced at the Natural History Museum (London) by a piece of Toyway tat not worthy of the museum’s seal of approval…BAH). Triceratops here is one of the earlier figures in the line, and it shows – which is not to say that it isn’t a delightful figure, like the majority of Invictasaurs.

The Dinosaur Toy Blog has been a major eyewitness to the evolution of dinosaur and prehistoric toys, from just its start, where figures from the dark days of these toy companies were being reviewed, to today, where beautifully crafted and accurate figures are being reviewed.
