The Lost World Glow Bones Figures
For The Lost World movie, a company named Equity Toys came with six 'Glow Bones' dinosaur figures. In general, they are among the best non-Kenner/Hasbro Jurassic Park figures, because of their detail. Also known as Dino Skeleton figures, these dinosaur toys have an unique feature: when the figure was touched the bones would appear. Unfortunately they will remain visible permanently when this is done too much. They came in two versions: loose and keychains; but with different packages for each version. The loose version was sold loose with tags, on card and by sets in display boxes. The keychain version also came on card, and in bags (much harder to find). Apart from the keychain itself both versions are not different. An example of the boxed version can be seen here, and the loose figures with the tags still on can be seen here.

Comments: This figure is one of the best figures in this line, because it's well-made, with a lot of detail. It is easily recognized as a TLW Pachycephalosaurus, but in fact it does not have exactly the same color as the ones in the movie. Those were brown with blue backs, instead of green, and also didn't have white feet.
Parasaurolophus

Comments: The Parasaurolophus figure has a good sculpt which definitely comes close to the dinosaurs in the movie. The color however, doesn't. The figure might have similar dark stripes running down it's back, but it's very different from the animal seen in the movie. That one was beige instead of green, with a very dark back instead of a yellow one. This paint scheme comes closer to the Corythosaurus that would appear in JP3. It still is recognizable as a TLW Parasaurolphus though.
Stegosaurus

Comments: While the Stegosaurus figure is nice to have, being one of the biggest figures of this line, it a shame they painted it so different. It also has a rather awkward pose, probably because it would be too long with a more neutral pose. It's not a bad figure, but it doesn't quite remind of the majestic beast it represents.
Triceratops

Comments: This is a very good figure, and certainly represents a Triceratops. The paint scheme comes very close the artwork of this animal, while in the movie it's much more brown.
Tyrannosaurus

Comments: This figure is 50/50. It's not bad, but it's not good either. The head sculpt is nicely done, but the tripod pose and the very unfamiliar colors don't make it the best figure of this line. Still, it's a decent enough figure.
Velociraptor

Comments: While with most figures in this line the sculpt is very good but the paint scheme has some flaws, with this figure it's the other way around. The paint scheme actually comes close enough to the Velociraptors in the movie, but the sculpt could have been better.
