Toy Dinosaur Film & TV Cameos

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

You just might Doug, no matter how many times I've seen that film I never caught that.

[Roselaar]

Ah, 1960's Dinosaurus! How come I didn't think of that one, that movie is sitting in my collection after all...

I've hope those Marx figures weren't actually squashed by the film's villain.

[CityRaptor]

They probably were. Keep in mind that back then, they were common.

Well then, Hacker deserved to be crushed in that cave in. Of all his villainous misdeeds, stomping on those Marx figures was by far the worst.

When I saw it in the sixties I always thought they were plaster because of the way it broke up. I wonder if a fresh Marx Bronto would break up like that, I'm not going to test it. I wonder if they tried and the Marx bounced back so they replaced it with a plaster one, not to preserve the Marx but to get a better effect?

They seem to be made of a similar material to toy soldiers, so even though the limbs might break off the Tyrannosaur at least, they should just bend and cop some major scuff marks. You're probably right, they might have used something else for the after-effects. What they're worth now might be a decent sized chunk of that movies' budget!

Spotted an original Papo T-Rex in the (hilarious and recommended) movie The Guard. Strange surrounding too, on a police sergeant's desk. But hey, it's a quirky movie anyway.

There's some dinosaur toys (only Chinasaurs I think) in the second trailer for Jurassic World. And stuffed toys too.

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

One of them is a Battat edmontonia and the gift shop dinosaurs are from Melissa & Doug:

There's a bunch of K&M type figures in episode 10 of Daredevil. But monochrome.

[Ikessauro]

Going back to the topic of the movie The Indian in the Cupboard, I guess the original toy was this, right?


This looks like JP inspired CGI.

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

I saw an episode of The Big Bang Theory and saw what I think was an Imperial smilodon, near the end. I forget the name of the episode, but right before that Howard and Raj visited La Brea tar pits after getting into an argument about flying kites.

And of course there's that awful animatronic T-Rex toy in the BBT boys' living room in virtually every episode.

I've always wondered which one that was. I thought it looked like the Papo rex at first.

If only it was, that would have shown some quality. This is just some cheap Chinese release. Guess the boys don't know their dinosaur toys.

The Johnny Depp Dark Shadows remake has David playing with what look like large Marx? dinosaurs or maybe Aurora.  The major dinosaur scene was cut from the movie but included on DVD as an extra.

[CityRaptor]

Looks like both, Aurora and oversized Marx.

[Derek.McManus]

Anyone seen the new Nescafe Gold Blend television advert? Lots of dinosaurs there!

[Roselaar]

Aside from the toys on Lowery's desk already mentioned here, there's various Chinasaurs, a Papo Stegosaurus and a Schleich Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus in Gray's room in Jurassic World.
