Travel back in time to the prehistoric era where reptilian giants roam the planet! Explore the world of dinosaurs through one of the most time-enduring line of toys that kids of today are still eagerly collecting! Dinosaurs have long been gone, but because of dinosaur toys, they continue to live in the creative imaginations of children across generations.

There's no single explanation on why dinosaur toys are still one of the most popular playthings in many homes. In fact, dinosaur toys may be the first set of toys that babies get to see and play with. Many cribs and infant playsets are designed with dinosaur themes. Even baby clothing are sometimes embedded with cute baby dinosaur images!

From stuffed toys to action figures, the toy market is replete with different kinds of dinosaurs. There are dinosaur Pop! Vinyls, LEGO sets with dinosaurs, and dino-human mutant figures! The entertainment industry can also be "blamed" for this never-ending craving for dinosaur toys and dinosaur-themed merchandise; there are many cartoons, movies, and video games that feature vicious dinosaurs and even anthropomorphic dinosaur characters. The recent popularity of dinosaur-centred franchises such as Jurassic World and Jurassic Park just proves our point.
