mest's collection

Ironically found from local store a bootleg ankylosaurus. From collectors point of view it is sad that companies give market away to bootleggers.

Two unknown hybrids.

What makes you think Marx had anything to do with them?

In 1970's Marx sold many plastic injection molds to USSR. These were for allkinds of plastic figures. And these dinosaurs looks like Marx figures on online images:

On that time in USSR was also produced their own plastic toy figures. But they looked more like 2D than 3D:

As much as i remember, there was also a smilodon and apatosaurus in the set.

I have many Marx figures and with the exception of the much smaller Woolly Mammoth and the Trachodon, which has different hands and different leg positions, they look closer to Nabisco cereal premiums which they are not.

Who made those giant monochrome ones?

They look like the 6 inch Marx figures, but I don't remember seeing them in that dark chocolate color before.

Who made those giant monochrome ones?

Once created by MARX and now produced by ARK Models.

I think that mystery Sarcosuchus is a CollectA rip off. They been poping up everywhere online lately

Not sure if that is a ripoff when it is not a perfect copy. But CollectA was probably used as one sample. Mystery is what text was printed on this figure. And why it was removed?

This large Sarchosuchus was made for the italian publishing house "Hobby & Work". It was part of the "Dinosauri 3D" line. Almost all figures were enlarged Collecta rip-offs and the name of the species was readable on the underbelly.

Then chinese manufacturers kept producing them, simply removing the name of the animal and of the publishing house. Now they can be easily bought on Aliexpress (although a couple of years ago they were more common and even more affordable).

This is the tv spot of the italian publication: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72DclFXGyZw
