Yes that's definitely the one! You guys are good!  ;D
And here's that green allosaurus in the second row:

Unfortunately, it looks like these are hard to find even with the brand's name.

I'll have to pray that my brother didn't throw mines away. It's a long story but I had to move out and leave my huge dinosaur collection behind. My family was supposed to send me my dinosaurs but they never did. Eventually my brother went back to the house and he got rid of my dinosaurs without my knowledge or consent. That was soul crushing and I cried when I learned the news so he realized his mistake and managed to get some of them back. I don't know which ones though cause he still didn't take any pictures. This whole ordeal is what motivated me to start collecting dinosaurs again, both old and new.

Anyone knows what this zombie tyrannosaur is? I long thought it was something from Monster In My Pocket, but I can't find it in any lists:

I was also thinking it could maybe have belonged to some larger packs of for example Mighty max or similar, as just one of several figures?

Its style reminds me of "Predasaurs" by Simba.

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Woah, thanks! Barfo, huh? And looks like picture search has become effective!

Since it's a dinosaur, it should be eligible for review...

Thank you, I just came to the same conclusion! "World of History," right?

As to my knowledge, there wasn´t any name or description to this particular line.

Wow, that mudlarker was lucky, even if it was only a godawful figure, at least it WAS a dinosaur figure. What journey has it already completed?

Anyone know what this pretty large plesiosaur is? Just says "made in China" underneath.

Found this little guy at a flea market the other day for 10 cents. Can't seem to find any information on it. It's labeled "Disney" on the bottom. Any ideas on what specie it is? what collection? and if it's rare?

That's the Disney DINOSAUR slime egg Mosasaurus and yeah it's generally considered rare.

Holy... Unbelievable you found that. Probably the marine reptile it took me the longest to acquire (that I actually did acquire). It's worth three figures... to the right buyer. 🤑

avatar_Funk @Funk That's a Chinese-made knockoff of the Tsukuda Elasmosaurus.

I recently got this Triceratops in a mixed lot:



Although it's a Chinasaur, it's surprisingly handsome and well-proportioned, so I'm keeping it and will probably repaint it. Just wondering if anyone has any information on the brand/manufacturer?

The lot also contained the Scientific Toys Plateosaurus:



It's a fairly decent figure, so I'm thinking of using it in my ~1:40 scale collection as a different basal sauropodomorph. I'm hoping someone who knows more about paleontology than me could suggest what genus it would work well as. For reference, it's slightly over 15cm (6in), so slightly over 6m (20ft) at 1:40 scale.
One day we will know the truth about Spinosaurus... but not today.

Hi avatar_Elengassen @Elengassen, did you know that these figures were a part of an interactive game? YOu might have noticed something interesting at the figure´s torso. It fell out when I looked for this figure in my collection. It seems to be a part which activates a program when you put the figure on a special base - a pretty interesting idea described closer in the DTB review of their Tirceratops:

Unfortunately the links to the videos are dead, so I have no idea whatsoever how exactly this would work.
Here is a review of the complete series by Matthew the Dinosaur King:

It doesn't quite match with your scaling, but I use mine as Anchisaurus due to how lithe it is

I don't know the manufacturer, but I believe it's one of the toys included with Andy's Dinosaur Adventures magazines in the UK. Some of the molds for those appear to be re-used from other companies, but I'm not sure if this is one of them.

My attempt to find the best toy of every species

My trade/sale/wishlist thread

Sometimes I draw pictures

Elengassen



This figure's being sold on Amazon here under the name Quetzalcoatlus, which it obviously isn't. I'd like some help identifying what species it represents – I have it tentatively identified as Germanodactylus, but I'm not sure whether this is the best match. I would also like to know whether anyone recognises it as a knockoff, since this brand's other figures all seem to be knockoffs of other companies'. Any help is appreciated!
