Hasbro continues its "Booster Pack" collection of releasing weapons, blast effects, and small accessories with repainted figures, in the Kingdom line. This time they're using a repaint and slight retool of the Fossilizer Ractonite called Tricranius to pad the release of some neon-colored blast effects. If you're into the Fossilizers from the Kingdom subline then this release might interest you, but I don't find the blast effects as enticing as a bag of weapons and accessories as we saw in the first booster release.

Nice review ;)^

. Just fyi...Ractonite is a Styracosaurus.

I've seen the movie The Land that Time Forgot many times is probably the only reason I know.

As I mentioned in the Kingdom main thread, I am just waiting for mine to show up. It was supposed to be delivered today, but has been sitting at FedEx location 2 hours form my home for the past 4 days.

Thank you for the info. I doubt I'll remember, but thanks. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that the Brontosaurus never existed.

They've actually gone back and forth on Brontosaurus recently. It is frustrating. As a kid growing up in the 80s and wanting to be a paleontologist before Jurassic Park even existed, it saddens me. I even had a goal of going to BYU because they had the best Paleontological program in the US at the time ( not sure if it still is true but...) also I am not LDS, so while that isn't an instant deal breaker, it was probably a good solid strike against me.

But the field has changed so much, and it will continue to change. I just stand back bewildered sometimes. A field that has existed for a little over 200 years claims to know so much about animals that existed millions of years ago. I would just want to be in it for the sheer joy of discovery, finding something new, but then knowing it's quite possible we will never know what it truly looked like in life, how it moved, the noises it made etc....
