Shonisaurus

Honestly this pterosaur I like but is only a passable figure perhaps in relation to quality, but in my case I have to say that figurs of prehistoric animals AAA are figures within the decent fits, as I have repeated are not much but sometimes they make pretty good figures like the gallimimus AAA. And honestly, this pterosaur does not displease me at all, it even seems to me prettier than Mojo 2019 and I say it with all the respect in the world.

I suppose this ornithocheirus or tropeognathus is of the AAA brand, it reminds me of this figure I passed the link http://dinotoyblog.com/2016/01/28/pteranodon-aaa/ and I have to affirm that it is one of the ones I keep and that I have resisted giving to my nephews and nephews-grandchildren, is a pterosaur figure in a certain terrifying (not very finished) but at the same time attractive. It has its charm.

I don't know who the original manufacturer is, but it's been sold by a company called "Oriental Trading Company," among others. It turns up now and again in eBay lots, and I think it has been sold under other species names.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Recently I saw this figure on Yahoo Japan:







Apparently it's from Favorite Desktop line.
I'm quite an expert about Favorite but I must admit that I've never seen that figure before..  :-[
To be honest, it doesn't look like a Favorite sculpt at all but I really don't know...   ???

Is it an old and retired Favorite Desktop figure?
Or is it from an Expo?
Any info really appreciated  O:-)
Thanks
:)

This Tarbosaurus is an original figure released for  "The wonders of the Gobi desert Exhibition" held on 2013-2014.




There were only 300 copies - what makes it rarer even than the 2012 Dino kingdom Feathered T-rex,
and what explains the high price 230$.
It is done by Favorite company.
Look at the description on the Box - It matches the Brochure :





And inside - it matches the typical 'Favorite' way :

2. The Exhibition Animals.
3. The Tarbosaurus displayed in private home.
4. Another private description in Twitter.

I had one of those! But it was knocked off the shelf by a careless visitor and shattered. I received mine unpainted and used it for painting practice. There was no base. I hope it was a knockoff instead of the real thing :o

Looking for an ID on this big guy. I knew once upon a time, but I have long since forgotten!

My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

I'm actually selling mine.  It's a Suchomimus released by Discovery, was only carried in their stores, the line also included an allosaurus. It's quite big.

Does anyone recognize this Utahraptor: https://www.baopals.com/products/573143186097

*snip*

It's a knockoff, I want to say..Schleich?
Schleich's dinosaur models are so bad, half the time I can't even tell if they're knock offs or real  ;)
In all seriousness it's a knockoff Schleich Utahraptor. Commonly found for sale on east asian websites.

Libraraptor

There are so many Papo,  Schleich and knock offs of other brands out there. A whole Chinese branch of industry depends on nothing than knock offs.

And idea about this strange Pterosaur?

Dilopho

I wanna say Fisher Price but I honestly have no clue about it.

As for that utahraptor, the bootlegs in taobao and aliexpress are near exact copies of the original from Schleich.  I'm inclined to think the only way you'd know which is which is by looking for the Schleich belly markings.  The "good" news is, the sellers will at least  label it properly if they're selling the original.  If the posting mentions another brand (e.g. Cikoo, Minocool, Oenux etc.) or simply omits the name Schleich, then it's likely a copy.

The rubber looks like AAA or TM. Does it not say anything at the belly?

I agree there is something a little AAA-esque about it. It is also pretty similar to the TS Toys Tropeognathus/Ornithocheirus, but it doesn't have any branding that I can see. It has an item number stamped in ink/paint, but I Googled it and got nothing relevant. It does, of course, say, "Made in China."
I think it's a happykin or happy kin, based on this listing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-pc-happykin-dinosaur-lot/323698334927?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
And yes, I am the buyer. I found it last night and jumped on it. I'll let you know what the other figure is when I receive them.
