Another new dinosaur figure, and a prehistoric mammal figure, have just been revealed by CollectA for 2026.
There's still time to participate in the Dinosaur Toy Forum Diorama Contest 2025 sponsored by Happy Hen Toys, but the deadline is fast approaching. You have until the end of play on Friday. See the instructions, prizes, and other details here: https://dinotoyblog.com/news/dinosaur-toy-forum-diorama-contest-2025/
I hope you can join in the fun!

The Dinosaur Toy Blog and Forum @dinotoyblog are back up and running. Unfortunately we've lost posts from 1 Sept to 24 Sept, so we'll need to rewrite them, but it could have been a lot worse. Hopefully the Animal Toy Blog and Forum will follow shortly.
In memory of Luis 'EmperorDinobot' Perez:
https://dinotoyblog.com/emperordinobot-1988-2025/
Luis was a @dinotoyblog reviewer since 2008 and a constant presence on the Dinosaur Toy Forum. It's an odd feeling to lose a friend you've never actually met, but such is the nature of this weird online world we inhabit.
For some reason this @dinotoyblog post doesn't seem to be federating (any idea why not @pfefferle?) so I'm sharing it manually: https://dinotoyblog.com/hallucigenia-plush-by-zhongxin-made/
Plush Hallucigenia, with many arms for many cuddles! The long 'neck', if you can call it a neck, and small head, is reminiscent of a sauropod dinosaur.
We'll review the Plushtodon Mastodon mascot one of these days... it technically counts as a prehistoric animal toy!
I've finally implemented a Dark Mode for the DinoToyForum and added a toggle so members can easily choose between light and dark. https://dinotoyblog.com/forum/
One of few really active traditional forums still ticking along, the Dinosaur Toy Forum is a friendly open community dedicated to the discussion of dinosaur collectibles, dino pop culture, prehistoric animals, and palaeontology.
Revealed on the DinoToyBlog today... Eofauna’s new-for-2025 figure is none other than the famous American mastodon...

I just posted a short 'Plesiosaur Bites' blog article about new (2018-2023) plesiosaur toys: https://plesiosauria.com/six-more-years-of-new-plesiosaur-toys-2018-2023/
Lots of links therein to #DinoToyBlog reviews.
It's a simple enough calculation, but to simplify it even further, I've set up a Dinosaur Toy Scale Calculator on the DinoToyBlog: https://dinotoyblog.com/dinosaur-toy-scale-calculator/
Works for other toys, too.
I've posted an updated review of the Marx Struthiomimus on the Dinosaur Toy Blog, which now includes information about the original clay sculpture from 1960, and also a discussion of the likely paleoart reference they used: https://dinotoyblog.com/struthiomimus-marx/

Today on a whim I changed the dinosaur models in the Dinosaur Toy Blog header: http://dinotoyblog.com

Happy Valentine’s Day 💝 from the Dinosaur Toy Blog!
This Deinonychus toy by Safari Ltd proves that accurate feathered dinosaur toys *are* possible. Full review on the DinoToyBlog: https://dinotoyblog.com/deinonychus-wild-safari-by-safari-ltd/
And did you know, thanks to the magic of the Social Web, you can now follow the DinoToyBlog directly at @dinotoyblog

@AmyIsCoolz Yep! We reviewed this one on the #DinoToyBlog: https://dinotoyblog.com/deinonychus-wild-safari-by-safari-ltd/
This is only Papo's second plesiosaur. I reviewed their first offering in 2010, a Plesiosaurus, but it was really a Plesiosaurus in name only, a huge disappointment: https://dinotoyblog.com/plesiosaurus-papo/
This new plesiosaur is an immense improvement!

New on the Dinosaur Toy Blog, Velociraptor osmolskae "Alpha" by Beasts of the Mesozoic (Creative Beast Studio): https://dinotoyblog.com/velociraptor-osmolskae-alpha-beasts-of-the-mesozoic-by-creative-beast-studio/
"The “Alpha” variant is, in my opinion, particularly attractive as a color variant, and makes a fine addition to one’s pack of articulated raptors."
I rarely share new Dinosaur Toy Blog reviews on this account since the blog became federated itself, so follow the blog directly if you want to see more posts like this: @dinotoyblog
A question for @pfefferle about the Activitypub WP plugin. I want to add some default hashtags to every post to make them discoverable on the Fediverse. Such hashtags would be too broad to be used as native tags, they are only useful externally. In my case, hashtags like #DinoToyBlog & #dinosaurs
I manually added a hashtag to the "Post Content" area after the shortcode (see image). But, as you can see above, it doesn't become a hashtag on Mastodon.
Is there a way to do this?
Happy Halloween from the #DinoToyBlog!
The Dinosaur Toy Blog is becoming more and more integrated into the Fediverse...you can now...

@dinotoyblog My first proper video uploaded to Peertube instead of Youtube.
I can't quote-post on Mastodon (that feature can't come soon enough) so I'm commenting as well in an attempt to to add context and hashtag-reach to supplement my previous boost.
