Does anyone know the manufacturer of these? I have them since mid 90's at least. They were the first dinos in my collection. When I started collecting I rescued them from my toy box, back in 2001 or so. From the wear on them you can see they were well played with and I am quite fond of them. I have seen copies of these (that look way cheaper) being sold in other colors, sometimes as glow in the dark plastic. But I never found out what company made these originally.

I suspected they could be Toy Major, but have not found proof of that yet. No markings on them, not even the name of the dino.

Now and then I stumble upon these in lots.  To me they are bycatch and probably cheapasaurs.

Curious if anyone knows anything about these two.

avatar_Ikessauro @Ikessauro: The black Parasaurolophus with cream dots were often sold in a dino toy box from the coffee company "Tchibo" here in Germany/Europe,where I live.
                    I own this Parasaurolophus,too and he is found very often in cheapasaurus lots in ebay Germany!

The blue metallic Triceratops I own, too and he is found in dino toy lots in Germany very often,too.
The brown dino with black back is a no name cheapasaurus Dilophosaurus, him I own not, but I own a lot of such no name Dilophosaurus` in other sizes and colours,
but not in this brown variant!

You are producing great dino toy videos!

Thanks, any help is appreciated. I am sure taking care down here, I almost never go out and only do when absolutely necessary. We all have to stay home and help control this thing. Too bad not everyone in my country thinks like this and trusts science and listen to doctors as much I do :/

does anyone have any infos about this retro-ish ugly rex? there's a mark on the belly "UISC 1998". it is solid and heavy.


That's a Jurassic Park figure that was sold in the Universal park.

Does anyone know what set this protoceratops came from? It's about 4 inches long and is made from some bronze like metal. It reminds me of the Alva dinosaurs but i don't think it is but maybe it's another museum figure from around that time.

Reminded me of SRG, but they didnĀ“t make a Protoceratops...

As to the T.rex, I only say: "Furaffic Fark"  ^-^ ^-^

Now, is that Invicta Baryonyx a rare colour, or is it just massively sun-bleached or something? ???

The feet seem to be in the normal original green. The towel covers the front foot so one doesn't know if the fish is still with it. Strange.

I recently got this Oviraptorosaur egg figure (left) off eBay. It seems that there's a bit of confusion between this and the Baby Louie (Beibeilong) produced for the Indianapolis Children's Museum.


There are also some markings on the back, including this signature and date carved into the shell.


If anyone has any info on this thing, I'd really appreciate it.
