I have no idea what dinosaur this is. It's in my class's dinosaur toy set and I want to provide info for the kids, but I'm not sure where to begin. Anyone have any ideas?

I don't have it myself, but I hear Google Lens can be helpful for IDs.

The thumb spike suggests an Iguanodon to me, in a very vintage style.  But it looks a bit toothy!  I'm not a vintage collector and can't identify this particular brand.

Ahhhh thank you so much! I used Google Lens and it turns out it's an allosaurus by Dolgen!

I thought it might be an iguanodon too, but the teeth threw me as well. Turns out it's an allosaurus by Dolgen, in case you were curious!

Thank you!  It's a very curious mixture of traits.

Hi everyone,
Those two came in a lot, they look like Starlux but they are not stamped, and I can't remenbered if Starlux stamped their product. Could they be genuine? Or copy?





Those minis pops often in lot on second hand site, and they are a little bit "too good" for unbranded minis. i think they are from the same brand, as they tend to come together and seems to share a same general style. Could somenone identify their origin? I'm almost sure there was a Smilodon with them, but I can't find it in my mess :p

avatar_Dame Aelis @Dame Aelis Looks like you have some Wai Phong toys there. One is referenced in Dr. Adam's compendium here:
https://plesiosauria.com/pop-culture/toys/

And I think those Starlux are legit. They did not have any markings on them. If you'd consider selling any of the Wai Phongs I'd be interested in two of them.

Yeah, I think those Starlux are legit, too. They did not hold any markings or stamps.

Dame Aelis

Thank you for your answers.

BlueKrono, I sent you a pm :)

Can anyone identify this Resin kit for me ?

Does anybody knows that dinosaur figure?



If not, so it could be a small figure from Kleinwelka. This figure is not marked. But sculpt, colour and material are very similar to this Iguanodon that i own. And i got the figure from the same person

Huh, that doesn't match any Kleinwelka I've ever seen. Is it a hard plastic W @widukind or more pliable?

It's a Kellogg's figure. Came for free in their cereals.

Oh no

That is without doubt the grey version of the Kleinwelka Iguanodon, albeit a little worn away. Far too big for a KellogĀ“s figure, and it has the distinctive spiky hands.

avatar_Libraraptor @Libraraptor the one in the link, yes, but the one in the photo next to the Lego brick is a Kellogg's figure as avatar_CityRaptor @CityRaptor suggests. I wasn't familiar with it before, but now that I know what to look for Joe DeMarco's Dinosauriana confirms:

Definitely Kellogg's - Here is the complete set .

widukind

Many many thanks - it is very helpful.

Libraraptor

Ah yes I see, sorry, the picture with the Kellog's figure and the LEGO brick had for some reason not been shown.

Could be related to the browser you are using.
