The Identification thread

So it is probably being produced by the Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre itself. Wow, what a nice piece it is!

I found this old, small figure, which I wouldn't really give a second thought if it wasn't for the striations that look like fur! Anyone know what it is?

[Libraraptor]

I know this one, too, and I also think it looks furry - but don´t have the slightest clue about its origin.

I had a couple of these when I was a kid. One was the same colour as yours and I think the other one was green all over. They're just unbranded Chinasaurs AFAIK. I think I thought of them as Plateosaurus.

I'm also thinking some basal sauropodomorph, but that "fur" is really throwing me off haha...

[Elengassen]

I'm not sure it's meant to be fur – perhaps just a (very) crude attempt at texturing.

The Collecta Cetiosaurus has grooves like that on it as well. I don't think it's to represent fur, just skin texture. It doesn't look good on the Cetiosaurus either. Even a repaint couldn't fix it.

That furry dino or wrinkly plateosaurus appears in some Hong-Kong bags, those that contains kaijus or and dinos.

I found this postosuchus figure at Toymeister in Virginia Beach. It's about 5 inches long and doesn't match any of the versions on dinotoycollector, and doesn't turn up a match on Google Lens. I can only barely see the Postosuchus text on the bottom.

It's a copy of the old Lontic figure I'm pretty sure.

Yes, probably. Here is one on the pic:

I also have one of these 'hairy Plateosaurus' in red:



It came in an Ebay lot so it probably features briefly in one of my unboxing videos.

[SBell]

I think that's a Ja-Ru 'Plateosaurus', or at least styled in a very similar design.
I had one like that as a kid.

I'd review it if I had some definite info about its classification and company...

I say review it even without. It's an interesting figure.

What tags would be used for taxon and company?

What tags would be used for taxon and company?

Brand: unknown company https://dinotoyblog.com/category/unknown-company/

Taxon: unspecified genus https://dinotoyblog.com/tag/unspecified/

It wouldn't be the first.

You can use my picture of the red version if you like. I could take more. It's a good example of a potential review that could be very brief but still interesting and useful.

Hello! Anyone knows which toyline this dinosaur is from please?

I had all of them back when I was a kid. I remember they came with a magazine back when I got them.
In the same toyline there was also a green Allosaurus with black stripes. It looked pretty good.
I also remember a grey mosasaurus/liopleurodon.

Could it be Waiphoon? Here's the pliosaur from Dr. Admin's site:
