There's a list here, not sure if it's complete:

The Dunkleosteus is actually not the worst thing I've ever seen (though the Safari and Favorite versions are still far superior). Dunkleosteus is becoming the Dimetrodon of prehistoric fish.

I can't think of a charitable way to describe the Dimetrodon.

Based on the feet, item 14576 looks like maybe it's meant to be Herrerasaurus? Which we need more of (CollectA's version is pretty bad, and the Dawn of the Dinosaurs version is rare and expensive). This one falls squarely between those two in quality.
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.

Wow. I thought I'd get the dunkleosteus at first but it looks like someone stuck a fossil cast on the front of its body.
It does look like that. Is it my imagination, or does it have no eye tissue? It looks like nothing but sclerotic ring.

Schleich tried to copy Papo's Dimetrodon but failed miserably. the proportion is just awful.
and what is that bipedal grey creature supposed to be? an Eotyrannus, Smok, Herrerasaurus?

As I said the figures are nothing to brag about.

Moreover, the Dilophosaurus Schleich vaguely reminds me (as regards the wrong way to make figures of theropods), the Dilophosaurus standard version of Collecta (no other) and the red crest of Bullyland.

As for dimorphodon and cordially saichaina ... I am not convinced from my point of view are very poorly made.

Moreover between the ichythiosaurus Schleich miniatures and mosasaurus? or tylosaurus? give a lot to be desired, other figures sold and reissued puzzle. The same goes with the suchimimus? and kentrosaurus (which detract from their version of Schleich dinosaurs).

On the other hand I can not identify the dinosaur they have done (it may be a Herrerasaurus? Yet we have no information about the figure on the link.

The dimetrodon is merely a bad copy of Papo and as discussed. The dunkleosteus is the only one who is saved and yes, it is better to Wild Safari.

Another pass this year from me :-\ The Dilophosaurus and Dimetrodon are obvious Papo wannabes.

Topic locked. Time for a 'Schleich - New for 2016' thread with images, if anyone wished to do the honours?
