Torosaurus by CollectA
Meet the Torosaurus by CollectA — the magnificent, horned herbivore that once roamed the Late Cretaceous plains! Closely related to the Triceratops, the Torosaurus is known for its impressive frill with large openings and its sharp, defensive horns — perfect for piercing predators and showing off in style.
Its name is often translated as “bull lizard,” but it more likely comes from the Greek word toreo, meaning “to pierce” — a fitting name for this powerful, spiky dinosaur!
Hand-painted with lifelike textures, this detailed figurine lets children explore the prehistoric world through open-ended play, storytelling, and STEM-inspired discovery.
