In the spirit of making top ten lists that we've been getting into, I have decided to make one: a Top 10 Prehistoric Crocodilians Figures list, in honor of this underrated and amazing group of archosaurs. So far I have:
Sarcosuchus: CollectA and Mojo
Postosuchus: WWD and Safari
Batrachotomus: Bullyland
Arizonasaurus: Bullyland
Paratypothorax: Bullyland
Desmatosuchus: Schleich
Protochirotherium: Bullyland
Deinosuchus: Carnegie and Schleich
Rutiodon: Kaiyodo
Kaprosuchus: Safari
Metriorhynchus: Kaiyodo
Ornithosuchus: Kenner
Saurosuchus: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

If I forgot any, please let me know.

- Sarchosuchus
- Pristichampsus
- Desmatosuchus
- Dakosaurus
- Monteltosuchus

That is true, but I wasn't sure whether to include toob figures or not. I'll add them to my list, along with the toob Metriorhynchus.

Gwangi

Great idea for a poll. I can already tell you my hands-down favorite is the Safari Postosuchus. I'm not too well versed in crocodilian figures so I'm interested to see what people share. Maybe since it will undoubtedly be a smaller list a "Top 5" would be better? Just a thought. I mean, there is only 16 on there so far.

Roselaar

Fascinating topic. Personally I think the Tedco Desmatosuchus also deserves some credit.

Manatee

I thought of the Starlux Protosuchus and Ornithosuchus.

Fofer

For me the best is the safari Postosuchus.

Manatee

Me too. I also like the Schleich Desmato and Bullyland figures.


Manatee

Yowie Quinkana, Inpro Saltoposuchus, Starlux Saltoposuchus. That appears to be it; should I set up the poll?

SBell

Don't forget the Play Visions Metriorhnychus. Or the Kaiyodo Metriorhynchus. And to be picky, the Safari toob 'Metriorhynchus' is really Suchodus


And the ridge-headed mekosuchine by Yowies.

And the Primaeval Designs & Dawn of the Dinosaurs Saurosuchus.

And Protochirotherium, to be fair, is actually the footprints--the animal on the Bullyland base is speculative.

Poll's up!
I also added the Animal Planet Protosuchus and Kleinwelka Deinosuchus.

Gwangi

Just put my votes in. This one was hard, I had to look most of these up!

stargatedalek

I see an issue; "Animal Planet Protosuchus".
Animal Planet doesn't make the toys, only puts their name on them.

Arul

Papo dont have any crocodilian figure ?

No extinct ones. Their nile crocodile is quite though.

I have appended it to the list :) I've also made it so you can change your vote.


Manatee

The Euparkeria was purposely not included. Euparkeria is not a crocodilian or phytosaur, but rather a more primitive archosauriform close to the ancestry of true archosaurs.
On the Animal Planet Protosuchus, if anyone knows who actually made the Protosuchus I will change the name.

True enough, but we should include it for good measure. I doubt we will have a top 10 basal archosauriforms poll :)) . It is in the crocs toob after all :)

I've never seen it, could you link some photos of it?
