The Tyrannosaurus Off-road Tracker Pack represents the last set released in the short-lived Jurassic Park 93’ Classic line, which was replaced last year by the (so far) inferior Jurassic World Reimagined line. I suppose it makes sense that the line wouldn’t last too far past the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park but I think the entire range of toys released...
Monster In My Pocket was a toy franchise that released waves of, you guessed it, pocket sized plastic-monsters throughout the 90s. Several of the series included dinosaurs or near-dinosaurs, and some of the later series consisted almost solely of dinosaurs. The figures all seem to have come in at least three colour-variants, and included cards. Series 1 already included a...
“HHHHRRRRRROOONNKKK!!! Never fear, fellow dinosaur lovers, that’s not a real megatheropod bellowing menacingly at you. No, it is actually I, Dr. Bellasaurus rex, along with my faithful and friendly companion, Tricerabeth!” “Already told you not to call me that, Doc. This is degrading enough as it is!” “Tut, tut, Beth, you did vehemently insist that you were worn and tired...
Review and photos by BlueKrono, edited by DinoToyBlog. The dinosaurs created by the Marx Toy Company in the 1950s hold a unique title: the first mass-produced plastic dinosaur toys. All others follow in their thunderous footsteps. Previous to the Marx dinos companies like Sell Rite Gifts (SRG) and Mignot had produced dinosaurs in materials like bronze and lead, but these...
Review and photos by Paleo Flo, edited by Suspsy Greetings, dinosaur fans. I’m Paleo Flo. This is my first review of a dinosaur toy ever . . . and I will start BIG! Before PNSO entered the competition, the companies Safari Ltd., CollectA, Papo, and Schleich (in a way I guess) had been the big players on the market. Then...
Review and photos by Funk, edited by Suspsy Yet another Tyrannosaurus toy review you say? Well, this one is unlike most others, and is rather baffling in some of its design choices, so there should be enough novel things to say about it. It’s the UKRD bendable Tyrannosaurus, part of a 1992 line that seemed to be flexible versions of...
Before I begin the review, I would like to thank long time member and friend of the blog, Dan of Dan’s Dinosaurs, for supplying this figure for review. You can purchase this Tyrannosaurus and all Eofauna models on his site, here. Finally! The wait is over! For those in the know, the Eofauna Tyrannosaurus has been a long time coming,...
Review and photographs by Dilopho, edited by Suspsy Hello, DinoToyBlog readers! Back in 2018, I took a look at the then brand-new Extreme Chompin’ Tyrannosaurus rex from Mattel. Now, six years later, I return with a look at one of its now numerous variants. There have been over 20 different T. rex toys produced by Mattel in the time between,...
Review and photographs by Funk, edited by Suspsy. As most dinosaur fans that grew up in the 1990s know, Primal Rage from 1994 was a fighting game pitting stop motion animated dinosaurs and apes against each other, with very violent and sometimes bizarre attacks that inevitably led to parental outrage. A toy line was also released by Playmates in 1996,...
Review and photos by Harper Bloomingdale, edited by Suspsy For those of you not into LEGO, LEGO Ideas is a website where users share their builds and, provided the goal of 10,000 supporters is achieved within a time frame, the build has a chance of getting put into production. The subject of this review is one of those lucky...
Despite being the most popular of all dinosaurs, with multiple figures to its name released per year, everyone is still on the hunt for what they consider the “definitive” T. rex. Companies have tried to deliver it with mixed success. At various points over the last several years the title has been held by Safari, PNSO, Rebor, Beasts of the...
Review and photos by Torvosaurus, edited by Suspsy Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Today we’ll take a look at the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit (HLBS) Tyrannosaurus rex. The model is approximately 8 inches (20 cm) long, but the curve of the neck puts it closer to 9 inches (23 cm) and gives it a 1/52 scale. In that respect, the...
