Simple. Grimm are everywhere outside the kingdoms, they are common. Just not within the kingdoms themselves. People wouldn't fear them as much within the kingdom's safe walls. But outside them, people do fear them as much as they should.

Bears are not everywhere. You really, really have to go out of your way even in rural areas to find a bear. Bears are fearsome, strong....but most people don't get to face a wild bear in person, and it's not like you'll find them the moment you leave the city.

And Dinosaurs are extinct so they are currently little more real than a fantasy monster as far as humanity is concerned. The chances of meeting a living dinosaur are just as high as the ones for meeting a magical unicorn.

So, basically:

Grimm: Common outside the kingdoms. Feared outside the kingdoms. Constant threat. People fear them, but the people inside the kingdoms fear them less because they don't deal with them half as much, they don't live with that threat breathing down their neck.

Bears: Rare, most people don't meet a wild bear in person unless they deliberately go out of their way to do so. Feared when people do face a wild one, but since 80+% of people don't, they are not at all feared.

Dinosaurs: They don't exist anymore, so only an idiot would be afraid of them these days.

Grimm are monsters that are common and everywhere, and can raze villages quickly if they can. Bears are not. Dinosaurs even less.

It's one thing to make toys based on animals most people wouldn't actually meet face-to-face, and thus only a diminute minority should fear.

It's another thing to make toys based on the monsters that raze towns every week and flood the areas not covered by the kingdoms, which anyone not within said kingdoms would be dealing with constantly, and thus most people should fear...people who generally don't include the ones living behind the safe walls.
