Bullyland Chalicotherium arrived and it has the Museum Stuttgart's logo on its tag but I have no clue if it's tied to any exhibit on display.

I have been to the Museum am Löwentor and didn´t see a Chalicotherium there.

Wow, postsaurischian, thanks for all those great pictures! It is a very cool museum indeed!

Now I really wish Bullyland re-releases all these fantastic figures again.

Shonisaurus

I would buy in my case a deinotherium and a mastodonsaurus whose figures are quite damaged by involuntary abrasions due to friction with other figures. My greatest wish that they have solved the problem of painting. On the other hand I hope that they will relaunch the Bullyland ankylosaurus although in my case I am no longer interested since I have a figure of that great figure with its label thanks to a member of DTF.

I'm sad I didn't get the Mastodonsaurus when it got re-released but the Stuttgart models by Bullyland are some of my favorites, I remember being really excited when they got released both cause Triassic species are underrepresented and because I loved (and still love) the idea of toys being inspired by the museum models, especially when it's in collaboration.



I liked them so much I gave up a third of my desk space for this diorama back then, sorry for the bad quality, the only picture I have of it is from 2010 :'D

As I wrote above, the best place to get one is here:

Also the upright standing Bullyland Plateosaurus is based on a sculpture at the museum in Stuttgart as well, but I don't know if they still have it on display, it should be standing outdoors.

That's right! It's still in front of the museum (I was there in winter), but I don't have the figure.

The Bullyland Plateosaurus may still be the best one that was ever mass produced, the CollectA one doesn't come close to it, nor do Schleich or even Safari Ltd.'s Carnegie Collection.

I'm not too sure about it. If we are talking about the quadrupedal one, the current consent is that good old Schwäbische Lindwurm was a biped.

All the interesting Bullyland figures got re-released in 2012. Mastodonsaurus was the first to be sold out again.
Wasn't that just the Mastodonsaurus and the Cenozoics?

There was an Edaphosaurus nailed on one of the areas where they sell the figures. Unfortunately the staff didn't want to remove it.

Well, even if the removed it, it would probably have some unsightly holes. So it is a reminder of a time when they sold better Bullyland figures.

If someone is interested in Bullyland's mammals, it's best to get them here:
https://sandspielfiguren.de/einkaufswelt-sandspiel/tierfiguren/praehistorische-tiere-pflanzen/?p=1&o=1&n=12&s=1
They still have some left.

Funnily enough, I found that exact site today while searching for a pic of Bullyland's 80s T.rex.

(for example there has never been
any relation between Schleich and the Humboldt Museum in Berlin. Schleich just used the popular name).

Yeah, that would explain a few things. I mean, it is very unlikely that for example the Schleich "Brachiosaurus" would pass, given that Brachiosaurus/Giraffatitan it is one of their most popular exhibits. I guess Schleich probably only gave them money in excchange for being able to use their name.
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

It only took me two tries to get one in great shape. The first one was accidental shipment from Dinosaur Farm (I had ordered a Gomphotherium, they sent a Mastodonsaurus). They didn't even charge me for it...but did eventually send the elephant!

Yes, you're right of course. Thanks for the correction!

The Battat Tyrannosaurus seems to be based on this model at the Boston Museum of Science



https://www.bostonusa.com/listings/museum-of-science/11542/

One of the few instances were the figure looks better than the model that inspired it.

That model, aside from the colors, actually reminds me more of the running Papo Tyrannosaurus than the Battat.

Dan actually sculpted that beast for them.  My T-Rex has the claws,teeth, and eyes that were leftover from his build.

Safari's wooly mammoth and Vagaceratops both greatly resemble the life-sized models of those species at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.

In the case of the mammoth, Doug Watson sculpted both the big guy and the little guy.
