Thanks for all the suggestions guys, that's what I mean for retro:



Those desktop models are very nice but quite pricey for me, I was hoping for some specific line in production that I wasn't aware of. Maybe in the future some company will have the idea to launch a similar sub-line, I'm sure there's a market for this.

That illustration is from the book I loved the most when I was a child.
I still have it although it's heavily outdated now...

p.s The Favorite "Oldies" desktop models are quite pricey but even really hard to find because they are discontinued. I have the Crystal Palace Iguanodon and the Burian Iguanodon from that line but I'm still searching for the others and it's not easy...
I don't think that a retro line will appear in the future because buyers aren't interested at all in vintage dinosaurs so, if you like "retro", it's better finding what's on the market now because it will be harder and harder to find "retro" figures from now on....
Old Schleichs and old Carnegies have exactly the "retro" look you are searching for:

Aren't the Tim Mee Dinosaurs also in production at this point.

Also, as far as model kits go:
Lindberg Dinosurs ( originally from the 50s, with some additions from 1993 )
Tamiya Dinosaur series ( the one from the 80s )
Revel Reissues of the Aurora Dinosaurs
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
