Medusa is a monster from Greek Mythology, one of the three Gorgons – though she got the short end of the stick being the only mortal one of the sisters. Famous for having snakes for hair, to merely behold her would turn anyone instantly to stone.

Horses have been around since the dawn of humanity. Ever since horses were domesticated, they have been used for many purposes, such as for farming, transportation, sports, and many others. In the past, their agility, speed and strength were put to use on battlefields.

Who’s that lurching towards the city with a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound? What’s that pulling those high-tension wires down? Why, it can only be everyone’s favorite fire-spewing reptile whose name starts with G – Gamera!

Gamera! He’s really neat!

Yes, it’s yet another Mothman review! The Mothman is a cryptid that has captivated enthusiasts of all things eerie for reasons that have been discussed far and wide, including on this very blog. So I won’t do a deep dive into the history of the Mothman here, except to say that it was a large winged creature reportedly sighted by many in and around the Point Pleasant community of West Virginia from November 1966 to December 1967. 

Was it a large bird, as many skeptics believe?

Review and photos by EmperorDinobot.

They say the phoenix is a symbol of rebirth, of reincarnation, revival, rejuvenation, revitalization, renewal, resurrection; the poetic idea of everlasting life, strength over destiny, power over fate, over the inevitable. the mythical phoenix rises from the ashes, but only after it dies.

The 1994 Atari fighting game Primal Rage featured a roster of stop-motion animated dinosaurs and giant apes that battled it out on a post-apocalyptic Earth (or “Urth”), which seems like an irresistible concept for a toyline, with Playmates jumping to the task in 1996, possibly to coincide with the sequel of the game which never materialised (toys based on characters from the sequel were also produced).

The Tsuchinoko is a small pit viper native to southern Japan. They have a short, stout body with a broad skull similar to their closest relative, the North American water moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus).

After reviewing the Dinosaur Toy Blog’s first hybrid dinosaur that has nothing to do with Jurassic Park, I decided to review the rest of the figures I own in this series. Picking the next one to review was something I did at random, and here is the winner.
