Triceratops – Fauna Figures

FigureFocus 318 Kaiyodo Capsule Q Green Triceratops

It's time to look at another Kaiyodo CapsuleQ dinosaur figure, and like the last time, it is the 'chase' or special figure. This particular model is from the Ceratopsia series, I believe released the year after the Tyrannosaur series. Like that series, it included the 'star' dinosaur (Triceratops), the associated skull and skeleton, a single other less familiar species (in this series, Diabloceratops), and all with a scale model human (or skull/skeleton). The tyrannosaurs came with white humans, the ceratopsians…

Vault Tales 269 FigureFrenzy Pachycephalosaurus, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Mawsonia, Cycad

Well, thanks to the ol' Random Number Generator, I ended up with figures that will all be presented in some kind of pair (one because, well, I am making it one...you'll see). So we will see a couple of mediocre Mattel figures, and then some far more interesting ones. All prehistoric today though! Hasbro Jurassic World mini Pachycephalosaurus (pair) A couple of small Pachycephalosaurus in different colours. They are fine. Just fine. About 1:55 scale, more or less in scale…

Vault Tales 231 Run the Set Kaiyodo UHA Chocolasaurs Dinotales Series 1 PART 1

Part 1 - The Mesozoic Figures! That's right--as the title suggests, I am going to be looking at the full run of the Series 1 Dinotales line, the one that started it all! I have looked at various individual Dinotales figures before of course, but I don't think I tackled a full complete set. And it turns out, with at least 25 figures that gets a little daunting. Because unlike some sets, Dinotales deserve at least a little more time…

Vault Tales 222 FigureFrenzy Allosaurus, Hallucigenia, Pufferfish, Triceratops, Lungfish

Another frenzy of figures! As usual, kind of all over the place. Dinosaurs, fish, weird invertebrates. And all from different companies. For the first time in a while, I think these are also all figures that I currently display! That doesn't always happen! I also just realized that every one of these figures is from a different Japanese series. Which might indicate just how many Japanese models I have!

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…

Vault Tales 11 Safari Ltd Triceratops

Who makes it? Safari Ltd, as part of their WS Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Life series...which has recently been renamed Wild Safari Prehistoric World. But when this one came out it was WSD&PL, item number 284529 When did it come out? I want to say 2010...but it was apparently 2008 Triceratops in its natural wasteland habitat... Still available? Maybe...I can find out I guess. But they recently (2018) brought out a new and improved and bigger and slightly more expensive one,…
