Okay, now that we have the Triassic guys, I thought it's time to bring in the finals from the period before it, the Devonian and Permian.
Some cool critters running around this time :)

Or in the case of most of the Devonian figures, swimming around.  ^-^ Great thread topic, wish I had more to offer but I think your pictures already display all the Devonian/Permian figures I have (which is a significantly smaller collection than yours).

Really great collection, wish mine was as good, although I might have a few that you don't.
However aren't the last three ( Arizonasaurus, Liliensternus and Paratypothorax ) all Triassic?

Great collection :D They are very unique creature...unfortunately  they are not very well known like a dinosaur. And there is no movie who use this character maybe that is why this creature not very well known like a dinosaur hehehe

Lystrosaurus is found on both sides of the Permain / Triassic boundary.  The UHA is the best but digicards also has one.  The Ral partha gorganopsid is very good.  Then there is the TimMee casea.

A beautiful collection. I have some of those models as well. I especially like the Bullyland figures.

When I think of it, the Permian (and maybe the whole Paleozoic) has always captivated me more than other Era's. It is full of weirdness (animals straddling or crossing the lines of what it means to be an amphibian, or reptile, or mammal) and promise (animals that are mammal-like reptiles, but behave like tree-living wannabe lemurs), but it all came to an end in the most catastrophic extinction event ever...

Anyway, I hope a lot more (bigger) toy models of Permian animals (my favorites are the landlubbers) will be made in the future.

Why does no one like Sphenacodon any more. Just Marx and Linde.  Do really need more Dimetrodons?

I would definitely rather see a Sphenacodon than yet another Dimetrodon.

Not enough.

Correct. I think it's actually 0 toys, although Acheson makes an unpainted miniature: https://achesoncreations.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=717&virtuemart_category_id=50

Zero? That is very saddening. Here's hoping that CollectA or Safari will deliver us from our plight next year.

Yeah, not to pick a fight, but this is why I'm so down on new figures of commonly made species. To me each of those is a missed opportunity for a weirdo like Cotylorhynchus or Sphenacodon or what-have-you.
