This 2022 Baryonyx Toy Buying Guide intends to help you select the Baryonyx Figure Toy that is best for you based on features and your budget. We have ranked the Baryonyx from best to worst. However, that doesn't mean the highest rated Baryonyx is the right one for you as it may not be within your budget - or it may not be the size you are looking for. Here we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the different Baryonyx figures to assist your decision making so that you can purchase the Baryonyx model that is best for you.
Baryonyx Overview:
There are many solid / good looking figures in this group. That said, there are a couple of figures we do not recommend (see below). Papo was awarded the best overall design, however some feel the design on the Papo figure is overdone. Other than the 2 figures to avoid, and of these would make good additions to your collection.

We selected this as the best Baryonyx toy figure available in 2022. Not even a close competition. This Baryonyx destroys the others.
Size: The Papo Baryonyx measures: 13.5” L x 6.25” H.
Product Highlights: We love this figure from Papo so much that we voted it the best Baryonyx in 2022. This figure is the largest Baryonyx and with its upright pose, towers over the competition. Some say that the design is too aggressive, hostile, and monstrous looking. Others say it is not accurate of the Baryonyx fossils that have been found - but that is for you to decide. Figure has a moveable jaw. Full length of the jaw is over 2 inches. Jaw has great range of motion and opens over 2 inches at its widest and closes tightly with overlapped teeth. Nice tongue inside finishes the great details on the mouth. Figure has a great set of spines all down its back - other figures are totally spineless. Hands are well done with long and wicked looking talons. This is a great model to add to your Papo dinosaur collection
Drawbacks:
+ Too Glossy on the paint application
+ Aggressive Monster look may not be representative of reality
Best Value Baryonyx Toy Figure: CollectA Baryonyx #88872
This is one of the lowest priced Baryonx figures available. Since it is a good representation – awarded best value.
Size: The CollectA Baryonyx Deluxe measures: 7.5” L x 2.7” H.
Product Highlights:
CollectA currently has 4 Baryonyx figures on the market. Two of them look very similar - this is the smaller of the two similar figures - the larger figure is #88856 (the 88856 is retiring though). The two together make a nice set as their paint and form are similar. This figure does not have a movable jaw and is affixed to the base. Model is thinner and sleeker than many of the other available models. Orange base paint with brown speckles is well applied. Little ridge of spines on the back transitions into a double row on the tail. Overall a nice looking figure.
Drawbacks:
Fixed on base.
Above Average Baryonyx Toy Figure (Tie): CollectA Baryonyx #88856
This is the larger of the two look-alike CollectA Baryonyx – nice compliment to the smaller version – they make a good pair.
Size: The CollectA Baryonyx Deluxe measures: 10.3” L x 3.5” H.
Product Highlights:
CollectA currently has 2 Baryonyx figures that look very similar - this is the larger of the two similar figures - the smaller figure is #88872. The two together make a nice set as their paint and form are similar. This figure DOES have a movable jaw but the range of motion is very limited. This figure is affixed to the base. Model is thinner and sleeker than many of the other available Baryonyx models. Orange base paint with brown speckles is well applied. Little ridge of spines on the back transitions into a double row on the tail. Overall a nice looking figure. This figure is being retired by CollectA.
Drawbacks:
Fixed on base.
This is our favorite of the two available Mojo Baryonyx.
Size: The Mojo Baryonyx Deluxe measures: 9.5” L x 4.25” H.
Product Highlights:
This is one of two Baryonyx figures available from Mojo and while the other version is the "deluxe" version, we prefer this original / less expensive version. This Mojo Baryonyx has a moveable jaw (the deluxe version does not). This is a very stable figure. With a hands down on the ground pose, this figure will not tip over (several other Baryonyx figures are tippy) so this stability is desired. The paint scheme on this figure is well done - bright green base with dark accents is further enhanced with a red patch on the head and grey / silver feet.
Blue color makes this figure stand out. Jaw opens / closes.
Size: The Schleich Baryonyx measures: 9.25" L x 4.1" T.
Product Highlights:
The coloring on this figure really stands out with the dark blue base with tan highlights. Jaw opens and closes with a good range of motion. Inside of mouth is pink - which matches the eye color. Pink eye is very unique - we cannot think of any other dinosaur figure with a pink eye. While some of the other figures are slick, this figure has a nice rubber feel to it. Would be good for a childs grip. Stable figure - no tipping problems. Good looking figure from Schleich.
Above average Baryonyx from Safari Ltd. Your choice will depend on your preference.
Size: Safari Ltd. Baryonyx measures: 9" L x 3.3" T.
Product Highlights:
Nice Baryonyx model from Safari Ltd. Nice brown and tan color tones. Good face and mouth. Fixed jaw does not open / close. Stands well on its hind legs. Worth serious consideration for your collection.
We prefer the other Mojo Baryonyx to this figure.
Size: Mojo Baryonyx # 381014 measures: 10" L x 3.5" T.
Product Highlights:
Clearly the most noticeable feature of this Baryonyx is the bright yellow color. No other Baryonyx on the market is bright yellow. Brown feet and bright red in the mouth provides good contrast. Figure is a nice form and is a good model. This figure is the DELUXE version from Mojo (and thus more expensive), but does NOT have a moveable jaw like its non-deluxe version. The feet on this figure look oversized to us - but it makes for a stable figure. Overall a quality representation of a Baryonyx.
Below Average Baryonyx: CollectA Baryonyx #88107
This figure does stand but is quite tippy and unstable.
Size: CollectA Baryonyx #88107 measures: 7.5" L x 3.2" T.
Product Highlights:
Green base paint with darker green accents. Figure does NOT have a movable jaw – jaw is fixed. Figure does stand on its own, but is unstable and tippy . This figure is being retired by CollectA.
Drawbacks:
+ While figure does balance is generally tippy and unstable.
Figures is out of balance and does not stand on its own. We do not recommend this model unless you are affixing it in a diorama.
Size: CollectA Baryonyx #88248 measures: 11" L x 4.2" T.
Product Highlights:
Figure does not stand on its own – requires the included clear plastic stand to remain upright. Typically those inserts are only to protect during shipping. In this case, the stand is required to get this figure to remain upright. We tested multiple to the same result. We have reduced the price to reflect this fact. Aside from the tipping over, we like this figure. Skin texture is well done. Face snout has a nice look to it. Jaw does NOT move but teeth / mouth is well done. If using in a fixed diorama, is a good figure, we would like this figure to stand on its own. This figure is being retired by CollectA.
Drawbacks:
Does not stand on its own.
