Hasbro make a Dino toy in his memory

I agree with this. Screw calling the toy mirage..call it Dino...

There is a Dino figure in the making, however, it will be named Mirage. Don't hurt me please...

Bummer. What would be really cool is if he were the human in a Human Alliance version of the toy.

About the Mirage vs. Dino name thing, I'm guessing that, as well as Wheeljack vs. Que, could be just another case of miscommunication in the editing process as with Brawl being called Devastator in the first movie. I don't see why else Hasbro would use a different name for the toy than they used in the movie.

According to the Wiki, Mattel has the rights to produce Ferrari based toys, and the company apparently doesn't want what is essentially their product placement to be named after a Hasbro trademark.

My condolences to his family. I agree with most everyone else here- 48 is too young to pass on, and of a heart attack too. Very sad, sorry to see him go.

Man, that's really sad. I loved his character in DotM. Dino had such a cool voice.

but sad that he passed, didnt realize he was quinn's kid either but i totally see the resemblance now that i know. lol

He's been on some episodes of "The Glades" on A&E as a Cuban (I believe) mobster, and also Old El Paso commercials, which is where I first saw him. I had no idea he was Anthony Quinn's son.

RIP
