I don't know if these figures will be of much interest to most collectors, however, I have seen these dinosaurs popping up at local Meijer stores. They seem to be replacing the Battat Terra figures Meijer used to carry after Target dumped them (and yes, I am still bitter about not being able to finish collecting those beautiful Battat Terra dinosaur figures >:( ). I know nothing about Thiria as a company, but they have 2 different sizes of "realistic" dinosaurs. The larger Spinosaurus and Pterandon are about 12-14 inches wide. The smaller 3-pack dinosaurs were about 4-5 inches tall. Thiria also carries other themed animals in 3-packs, which you can see some of in the bottom left of the first image. Anyway, I don't know if Thiria is a "Meijer exclusive" line but I have not seen them anywhere else yet.

Dominion styled Giganotosaurus, but renamed Acrocanthosaurus. I guess it works? Quite a number of other JP/JW inspired figures, with a TLW styled buck T. rex, and JW's Velociraptor Blue.

Well I never said they were "good". :P Although the two bigger ones I thought were pretty decent. But I could tell there was a lot of influence from the JW franchise.

I think the one on the truck might be a Schleich knockoff.

The spinosaurus is a knockoff of a figure from Walmart's Adventure Force line or maybe re-packaged stock from the previous line.

Yes, I definitely recognize the Spino from Walmart's Adventure Force brand. The Adventure Force dinos are sold in Europe under the Simba Toys brand iirc, which also sold the little Giga knockoff. Interesting to see these show up at a different store in the US
