Dimetrodon (Papo) 22 Aug 2013 | 12:37 am
Every prehistoric animal toy line has to have a Dimetrodon, so here’s Papo’s – their second new figure in 2013, following the successful Carnotaurus. Dimetrodon, a scaly beast with a vicious set of fa...
Dracorex (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.) 2 Aug 2013 | 07:14 pm
Where reviews of new toys are concerned this 2012 release has somehow gone neglected. Now, amidst the flurry of reviews for newer models I’m writing one for this little guy. I’m writing of course abou...
Dilophosaurus (Sideshow Dinosauria) 18 Jul 2013 | 05:58 am
On November 8, 2012, Sideshow offered the first preview image of the Dilophosaurus statue. This choice of species does not come as a great surprise to many of us, as we all know that this creature was...
Diabloceratops (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.) 10 Jul 2013 | 02:37 am
Safari’s take on the sinisterly horned ceratopsian from Utah is the second Diabloceratops figure of 2013, following Collecta’s pretty decent effort a few months prior. While it can be a bit dull when ...
Elasmosaurus (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd) 13 Jun 2013 | 10:16 pm
Here we have another new release from Safari Ltd for 2013, the long-necked Elasmosaurus. I lent a small helping hand with the design of this figure, as I had done previously with Safari Ltd’s other re...
Gryposaurus (Safari Ltd.) 8 Jun 2013 | 04:18 am
Call me strange, but this is really my favorite new release for 2013. Only Safari Ltd. has the stones to tackle the often-overlooked hadrosaurine (or saurolophine, if you’re keeping up with the times)...
Styracosaurus (Soft Model Series 2 by Favorite Co. Ltd.) 7 Jun 2013 | 12:50 am
Although good Velociraptor toys are hard to come by, it’s easier to get hold of a half-decent Styracosaurus – meaning that Favorite (and Araki) had to try a little harder to impress with their Soft Mo...
Velociraptor (Soft Model Series 2 by Favorite Co. Ltd.) 29 May 2013 | 01:17 am
Feathered dromaeosaurs are always welcome on the toy market, and especially feathered Velociraptor figures. Perhaps rather unsurprisingly – given that a certain 20-year-old film is raking in the cash ...
Tyrannosaurus rex – Feathered & Unfeathered (Soft Model Series 2 by Favorite) 15 May 2013 | 12:00 am
Favorite’s ‘soft models’ have had a complete revamp this year, with an all-new series of sculpts by the renowned Kazunari Araki. With the exception of Pachycephalosaurus and Deinonychus (replaced by V...
The Dinosaur Toy Forum Diorama Contest 2013 30 Apr 2013 | 02:51 am
Drum roll please! It’s competition time! This comes a little later in the year than usual, but I’m pleased to announce that The Dinosaur Toy Forum Diorama Contest 2013, sponsored by Safari Ltd, is now...
