Pretty colorful. Hope you get your chance to snag one or ten.

Robotic Dragons/Dinosaurs spotted at Burlington.

The sculpts are pretty cool but they are unarticulated.

There are 2 different sets available.

New "Wow World" electronic battle damaged dinosaurs have been spotted at Marshalls!

They only had the one style on the shelves but the back of the package shows which other species are available in this assortment. They are all common species except for the Theriziniosaurus (which I will grab when I see one!).

I got hooked up by a friend in the UK!

They arrived today

Very nice Dan.

I keep thinking you have enough Dinos now that you could do the opening scene to Jurassic Park and then some!

Walmart is getting a pair of Zazu "Robo Alive" dinosaur bargain bundles for the holidays!

There is a 2pk of dinos with armor and a 3pk of dinos on their own. Each set retails for $20+tax.

Marshalls score!

These dinos are from Kid Galaxy but are not the usual Lontic/Tedco/Happy Kin Toys molds. I'm not sure if this means that Kid Galaxy will not be distributing the dinos from that manufacturer or not. Hopefully, they do as there were 4 or 6 new molds introduced between 2020 and 2022 that we have not seen in the US yet.

The sculpts aside from the Stegosaurus (which is pretty basic) are quite nice, but the paint apps are terrible (not a problem for me as I will be repainting them anyway). The articulation is really basic, cut and swivel joints for the tails, legs and necks and there are hinges for the Carnotaurus' jaw and the Pteranodon's wings.

There is another set pictured on the back that contains some super common species, but I did not see that set today.

This 4pk was $12.99.

These "Animal Kingdom" vinyl dinosaurs by Alliance Imports Inc. were $1.25 each at $ Zone and are bootlegs of Papo figurines. They are made of a rigid, yet hollow vinyl whereas the Papo originals are solid. They need repaints before they will join my display, but the molds themselves are great for the price!

New Kid Galaxy "Dinosaurs Attack" 4pks have been spotted at the TJMaxx in Saddlebrook, NJ!

They are a mix of 4 previously released molds and 4 brand new molds.

The set in the first image has 3 re-released dinosaurs with only 1 new mold, the yellowish Dimetrodon on the far right.

The set in the second image only has 1 re-released dino (Dilophosaurus) and 3 brand new molds including a relative of the Ankylosaurs, my favorite dinosaur of all time.

Like the previous sets, the paint on these figures is REALLY rough. Paint is basically just splattered onto each figure rather sloppily, so collectors will need to repaint them before they are display worthy.

These sets retail for $12.99 each, making each individual dinosaur approximately $3.25 each, not a bad price for an articulated dinosaur action figure. I passed on them for now, but that Ankylo relative is really tempting...

Off to share

[The Spectre]

Last year, when I covered the 2023 International Toy Fair, one of the lines I featured was "Animal Quest", a line of knock-offs of assorted Schleich and Papo animals, dinosaurs and fantasy creatures.

Today, I finally saw some in person at Party City! They are shipping in the cardboard floor dumps seen in the first image from my Toy Fair coverage (i neglected to get an in-store photo). The assorted figurines in each dump appear to be somewhat random as I saw them at 2 different stores and aside from some figurines they shared in common, each had a wide variety of different figurines. The figurines are from different sizes ranging from about the length of my finger to the gigantic Ankylosaurus in the second image and cover land, air and sea animals, prehistoric mammals, dinosaurs and unicorns/Pegasus. The figurines, regardless of size are $7.99, so of course, you get more bang for your buck with the larger figurines.

Happy hunting!
