Awesome Dinosaurs

Moko Brick Laboratory has created one of the best fan-made MOCs we’ve ever seen. His LEGO build of the Power Rangers’ famous super robot has everything a fan could want. Each of the five dinozords is articulated and detailed. Naturally, they combine to form the Dino Megazord, including in Tank Mode. The way each dinozord transforms is incredibly impressive.

North of the Border’s sculptures keep getting weirder and weirder. His latest creation imagines what Earth’s creatures might have looked like had dinosaurs not been wiped out by an asteroid. And yes, the Man-a-Saurus Rex is as demented as it sounds. There’s something about that wrinkly human flesh that’s so off-putting.

This 15-in-1 multitool from Trixie & Milo looks like a T-Rex skull. The prehistoric pocket tool is made from 420 stainless steel and packs multiple hex-head wrenches, a bottle opener, a line cutter, a headphone wrap, and flat and Phillips head screwdrivers. A built-in carabiner clip lets you attach it to a belt loop or a backpack and has a lanyard hole too.

With all the bad stuff going on in the world, sometimes we feel like the party is about to end. The dinosaurs had a similar feeling right before the big asteroid hit, and this shirt from Let’s Get This Thread sums it up nicely. Available as a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or terry crew shirt in various colors. Our favorite is the tie-dye tee.

Developed by TeamKill Media, the first-person shooter Son and Bone follows a sheriff who is transported to a world filled with angry dinosaurs while chasing down a gang of bandits. While the story premise sounds silly, a game of kill-or-be-killed with T. Rexes and raptors looks like good fun and like Turok Meets DOOM. The game hits PlayStation later this year.

You know what would have made the Jurassic Park movies better? If the dinosaurs wielded weapons. Imagine if the velociraptors had Gatling guns or if the T-Rexes had flamethrowers. North of the Border gives us one of those things by sculpting a the king of the dinosaurs cosplaying as a fire-breathing dragon.

The 1990s TV show Dinosaurs was a breath of fresh air from other sitcoms, imagining a prehistoric world where dinos lived in a modern civilization. Secret Galaxy looks back at the show, its origins, the depth of its messages, and how it ended with one of the darkest finalés of all time… mass extinction.

Can’t get your kids to comb their hair? This might help. Fred’s Bonehead comb and brush combo folds up to look like a dinosaur’s skull. Open its jaws and let it chomp down on hair to remove tangles, so your kiddo doesn’t look like an unkempt caveman anymore. Made from durable but flexible ABS plastic.

Sixty-six million years ago, everything seemed to be going just fine for the dinosaurs. But then something changed, wiping out the thriving beasts. Kurzgesagt looks at how one seemingly minor change in the skies led to the rapid extinction of most life on Earth. It’s a dramatic reminder to live each day as if it was your last.

Bring Jurassic Park to your bathroom with this molded resin velociraptor toilet paper holder. The 3D raptor’s claws grip onto a roll of TP while its beady yellow eyeball stares mischievously at your butt like it’s about to take a bite. They also sell a T-Rex version.

Artist Blake McFarland spent over 400 hours carving this incredible wood T.Rex skull. He started with a hefty hunk of old-growth redwood, split it down the middle, then started carving the upper and lower portions of the skull and its impressive teeth. He encountered some hurdles along the way but ultimately delivered an awe-inspiring work of art.

It’s a battle for the ages – Lady Liberty vs. the king of the dinosaurs. Ok, maybe not, but we still enjoyed watching how Boylei Hobby Time took two off-the-shelf models that have nothing to do with each other and came up with a creative idea for a diorama – that the statue’s real purpose is to defend our country from monsters.

Pastry and chocolate artist Amaury Guichon adds to his edible menagerie with a prehistoric creature. Unlike the velociraptors in Jurassic Park, you can hunt this one down and eat it before it gets you. When he started with the giant egg, we thought he was gonna have a baby raptor hatch out of there.

Producer Sam Raimi teamed up with A Quiet Place writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods to create this sci-fi action film about an astronaut (Adam Driver) who crash-lands on a mysterious planet filled with dinosaurs. There, he and a lone child survivor face off against a real-world Jurassic Park. In theaters 3.10.23.

Capcom’s squad-based shooter Exoprimal drops players into a crazy world where dinosaurs have started to replicate by the millions across the planet. You’ll suit up in a state-of-the-art Exosuit to battle the horde and teams of opposing players. Coming to consoles and PC in 2023.

It’s obvious to most of us that Hollywood has taken some artistic license in its portrayal of dinosaurs in movies. Paleontologist Mark Loewen sat down with Vanity Fair to explain some of the major inaccuracies with the Jurassic Park franchise and other dinosaur flicks.
