Both Diramix and Sbabam have new sets of ugly blind bag rubber dinosaurs out. If DeAgostini comes out with anything, I'll add that here too (although I'm not even sure these are really separate companies).

I'm Italian, and you guys care more about these toys than I do  ;D

I think it's fair to say very few people on the forum care about these companies. I only keep an eye on them because they occasionally make animals that nobody else bothers with, like Poraspis, Pituriaspis, or Metoposaurus.

The Prehistoric Predators figures look pretty cute, and there's some neat genera variety being presented. The name of the line seems kind of silly with so many herbivores included, though.

I have the Hyaenodon and Dinocrocuta already...surprisingly, they actually stand on their own, despite being quite squishy.

Although mine are far more colourful than that picture.

These goofy eggs from Sbabam come with little plastic screwdrivers:

Another year, another set of stretchy rubber shark toys from DeAgostini. One's an O. (C.) megalodon, if you're into that sort of thing.

New from Diramix, a set of anthropomorphic sea creatures in the style of "Goo Jit Zu." Most are modern, but there's this "Dunky:"



Dunkleosteus completists might enjoy it. The rest of them can be seen here:

Okay, I had to. Part of me is interested in this in account of how unusual it is. Almost takes me back to my early childhood fixation on Street Sharks.

Haha, I forgot about Street Sharks! They are reminiscent of those, although even more cheaply made.

That has to be the only Dinocrocuta figure ever, right? I like the stylization and want to grab it, but don't have the first clue about where to get it.

I got my two (and the Metoposaurus) from a seller on eBay. From eBay seller Snertus who frequently has these kinds of things.
They're out of Spain, which means it's actually cheaper for me in Canada than most US sellers due to the absurd customs and shipping charges


Halichoeres

Yep, I got my few Sbabam figures from eBay sellers in Italy, or from European forum members who were kind enough to order them on my behalf. One thing I've tried is going to ebay.it rather than ebay.com, you get more results that way. Then you can copy the item number into ebay.com and order even if it wouldn't have shown up in a search though. It doesn't work for all items, but it works for many.
