Dino-Riders Brontosaurus toy

This is the largest Dino-Riders toy and dinosaur. It is based off the 80's cartoon, Dino-Riders. The Brontosaurus first appeared in Episode 12. The toy is awesome, but it is very big and heavy. It has amazing details and comes with 3 action figures and a lot of weapons and armor. It is one of my favorite toys. On a scale from 1 to 10, this toy gets a 9.75.

Brontosaurus was a large Jurassic Sauropod. It is the same dinosaur as Apatosaurus. It was about 80 feet long and 40 tons in weight. It was not as big as Brachiosaurus. In the cartoon, the animal is depicted larger than it really was, saying it was 100 tons and over 100 feet long. That of course is not correct, but in many things Brontosaurus and Brachiosaurus are larger than they really were. It lived in North America. Brontosaurus is one of the best known dinosaurs.

Carnegie Brachiosaurus

My personal favorite dinosaur toy is this Brachiosaurus.  I got my version of this toy at the Museum of Natural History, New York, New York, USA, near where I live. I know there has been a repaint so the toy is green, but I have the original painted copy, which has a light gray-blue skin color with dark blue stripes. It has no moving parts, but I don't care, this is still my favorite dinosaur toy. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this toy a 10.

 Brachiosaurus was a huge Jurassic Sauropod that was 70 to 90 feet long, 30 to 52 feet tall, and weighed 50 to 80 tons, making it the largest Dinosaur found on North America during the Jurassic Period. There were bigger Sauropods on North America, but not until the Early Cretaceous. It has been found in Colorado. Brachiosaurus is my personal favorite dinosaur.

Jurassic Park 3 Velociraptor toy

The toy I'm reviewing is the one all the way to the left.
The only Jurassic Park toy I own that still makes sounds. Both sounds it makes are really annoying high-pitched screams. You can move all the parts of its body except the tail. It has feathers on its head so I guess it's a male. It is gray, brown, and black, with a large blue stripe down its back. It's an okay toy. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this toy a 5.

Velocirapter was a small dinosaur that lived in Asia. It was actually a lot smaller than depicted in Jurassic Park, so I personally think that Velociraptor is overrated. But I to have to say they probably hunted in packs and were carnivores, being  the top predator in the desert they lived in.

Carnegie Camarasaurus

A pretty good toy. I got it in 2008 or 2009, I'm not completely sure. This toy has great details. It is painted well, but the paint chips off easily, so be careful if you get one. It is a light gray-blue with lots of dark blue-gray stripes so it stands out. The toy is the smallest Carnegie Sauropod I own. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this toy a solid 7.25.

Camarasaurus was a large dinosaur. It belonged to the Sauropod family, and was a medium sized member of the group, reaching about 60 to 70 feet in length. This, however, is big for a dinosaur, but medium sized for a sauropod. It wasn't as big as the real giants of the Jurassic, such as Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus. Camarasaurus had a medium sized tail and neck, wit a relatively small, box-shaped head. Overall, a pretty cool dinosaur.

Parasaurolophus from Dino-Valley series

Well, an average dinosaur toy. Definitely not one of Dino-Valley's best toys. Every time you press the button to make its neck go down, you can here the spring inside pretty loud. Also, it has horrible details. The colors used to paint or whatever they do to color the toys sucks, which does not help the subject. Neither does the fact that Parasaurolophus is always depicted as easy prey for carnivores. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this toy a 4.75.

Bull T-Rex from the Lost World Jurassic Park toy. Tied with Thrasher T-Rex for largest JP toy ever!

This amazing Jurassic Park toy is 20 centimeters long and 70 centimeters long. It has a very distinct color and stands out. Almost all JP action figures can be swallowed and fit in the mouth. You can take them out by a slit in the animals stomach. This is a really cool  toy and I would give it a 8.5 on a scale from 1 to 10.  ( Sorry, it wouldn't led me upload the picture.)

For those of you who don't know, T-Rex is a bipedal carnivore from the Late Cretaceous Period. It was the largest predator yet discovered on North America. It has been made famous by many movies and books, such as Jurassic Park. It probably preyed on Hadrosaurs ( Duck-Bills) and Ceratopsians. ( The Horned Dinosaurs.) It is probably the most famous dinosaur.

My first review. Ultimate T-Rex toy from Jurassic Park 3 toy.

The Ultimate T-Rex. My second T-Rex and Jurassic Park toy. The Ultimate T-Rex is a pretty good toy, with good sound and okay details. There have been many repaints, but I think the original was green with brownish-red stripes. ( If I'm wrong please correct me in the comments section.) It's my favorite T-Rex toy. If you pull down its arm it makes a loud roar and if you press the button in its "Dino Damage" area it makes a really annoying somewhat high-pitched screech. Overall, on a scale from1 to 10, I give this toy a 6.5

Welcome to Dino Review! Giving reviews on Dinosaurs and Dinosaur toys.

I will be reviewing lots of dinosaur toys and dinosaurs. They will probably be together. Example: I will probably give a review on T-Rex the same time I give review of a T-Rex toy. Thank you and I hope to have some viewers and members soon.
