Knock Off's Shall Inherit The Earth

[Blackdanter]

Funny what turns up when you do a deep net search!

I tried to purchase examples of a couple of these and was politely told that they're discontinued or unavailable for export ............................. wonder why?

Steroidal Collecta

Sorry folks, the image linking function seems to be having a senior moment. I'll maybe come back to this later.

The giant CollectAs are funny.

Was there a Synthetoceras in the original AAA prehistoric mammals line?

Can you see the images then Helge? The buttons aren't working for me so I tried manually adding the linking parameters. I really can't be bothered with trying too hard to sort it out as I've a new puppy to babysit so am unable to give much else my full attention!

The only other Synthetoceras that I'm aware of as a toy was by Starlux. There were probably others but I don't recall ever seeing or hearing of an AAA one. Interesting inclusion though isn't it?

[Blackdanter]

Aha, images issues sorted. I was using the wrong browser!

[Libraraptor]

Interesting! I´d love to own one of the giant Nothronychus ;-)

[Ikessauro]

For knock offs they look very good. The mammals are supposed to be Chick Yuet, all copied from AAA except the Synthetoceras... I've got the mammals.

More images of the giant Collecta knock off's:

[Horridus]

That Ouranosaurus is based on the Schleich, isn't it - or did Collecta really make an Ouranosaurus that derpy? (Not that these are the originals, mind - but they're pretty close knock-offs.)

No, Marc, CollectA DID make an Ouranosaurus. Their original walks on four legs, however. The Schleich Ouranosaurus is a good figure, CollectA´s is a really goofy guy.
But I don´t think CollectA did a Dimetrodon.

[Roselaar]

Yeah, that Dimetrodon is an oddball in this lot of Collecta rip-offs. I don't know what they based that on.

I'd still be inclined to buy those derpy fake Collectas, if only for hilarity's sake.

Can we make this a general knockoff showcase thread? I don't think we have we have one of those yet.

I asked that in the papo knock off thread

No CollectA made one. Here it is

Decent body, but a stupid face

Thanks for the info (and to you, Takama), but I might have to disagree on the Schleich Ouranosaurus...



I think the DTB review has it right on that one!

[CityRaptor]

While the Collecta one is for sure not  a peice of Art, it looks better than the Schleich one. I could see it in some kind of comic, while the Schleich one is just derpy looking. Like it would not even react if some Dinosaur bite it.

The bootleg seems to be based on the Collecta one, with the pose from the Schleich one.

[Bokisaurus]

Oh and another interesting line! Wow, they really are large versions of early CollectA figures! Too bad they are no longer available, the sure are collectors items now

[Blackdanter]

Here are the prehistoric mammals, the AAA 'homage' figures. I have to say that I rather like these. The Synthetoceras is a gem
