Stegosaurus – Fauna Figures

FigureFrenzy 290 Mattel Jurassic World Suchomimus, Stegosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus

Time for some MEGA MATTEL MADNESS! Three large figures from their dinosaur figures inspired by the Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom movie...one of them is among the earliest, the others are more recent. All three of them definitely demonstrate how much better things are with Mattel making them (the Hasbro were...there). There are of course issues (they're toys first, after all) but they're also pretty decent as far as toy dinos go. Mattel Jurassic World Pachyrhinosaurus A very big Pachyrhinosaurus. Lots…

Vault Tales 265 Run the Set Playmates Dinosaur King Series 2

I have spoken about the Playmates Dinosaur King series of figures, but this is the first time I'm looking at a whole (mostly) series of them. In this instance, it is all of the figures that I have from the second release, which in my case is 16 of the 24...and it looks like that will be as far as I can get. A few of the bigger figures (relatively speaking). Pentaceratops, Stegosaurus and Acrocanthosaurus (the SUPER ALPHA VERSION!!! Yes,…

Vault Tales 241 Run the Set Unknown Dino Egg Dinosaurs

Well, this is a weird little set of prehistoric animals. Small, rubbery, and with very, very...limited styling. It's the kind of set that doesn't really fit with what I'd normally collect. But sometimes there are reasons. I think this'll be a brief post! A few different ceratopsians. There are no names given, but they likely represent Protoceratops, Triceratops and Centrosaurus (probably meant as Monoclonius originally). These little figures have probably shown up in a whole lot of different sets and…

Vault Tales 175 Run the Set Kaiyodo DinoExpo 2002

Today will be another set, this one featuring a fine set from Kaiyodo--their models made as souvenirs for DinoExpo 2002! This was when the figures were still part of the Chocola Saurs brand, partnered within the UHA lines. Except, for the DinoExpo sets, they would pull out a few stops. In later years, the models would get larger and made of more fragile resin; the early sets often featured repaints of existing figures. In this instance, there were also a…

Vault Tales Run the Set 108 CollectA Dinosaurs MiniBox 1

All 12 figures from Dinosaurs set 1. I personally think we might be due for a couple more. So we're back already with another Run the Set! This time we'll look at a much more recent one, a box made up of miniature versions of some of the CollectA Deluxe and Standard dinosaurs. This is box set 1, released in 2016 under the catalog number A1101. Set two was released at the same time--giving us 20 small versions of CollectA…

Vault Tales Run the Set 107 Kaiyodo CocaCola JPIII Dinosaurs

All of the Kaiyodo Jurassic Park III dinosaurs. 11/12 are in perfect, shiny condition... Way, way, way back I wrote about a special release Kaiyodo dinosaur model--a Spinosaurus skull from their Jurassic Park III + Coca Cola promotion (almost exactly 100 posts ago!). Now, the Random Number Generator has selected other figures from the series, so why not look at them all together? It's another Run the Set! Two classic herbivores that made appearances in earlier movies too. The Triceratops…
