Toy Dinosaur Film & TV Cameos

[DinoLord]

After watching JW twice, I think that Lowery's Edmontonia is not the Battat figure but instead a knockoff. His Edmontonia has both head & tail curving to the left:


Meanwhile the Battat Edmontonia is more straight, with the head and tail curving slightly to the right:


The Battat Edmontonia is easily the most widely knocked-off of all the Battats; I remember seeing quite a few knockoffs during my childhood (though I do not own one to reference). Given that the rest of Lowery's desk is occupied by generic chinasaurs I would suspect that the Edmontonia is indeed a cheap knockoff rather than a rare and rather valuable Battat.

I tried the best I could to identify those figures and concluded that they were all Chinasaurs after all.

I was expecting to see some beautiful collectible dinos, but I think I did.  I just need to buy the DVD and watch it all over again and pause to make sure.

I spotted a few Invicta at the start of the movie.

Hey, at least Gray has some decent figures in his room. Shows he knows more about dinosaur toys than Lowery!

Didn't see any Invictasaurs though. I did spot a Kenner Bull T-Rex (or a repaint) in the gift shop near the end of the film.

I just finished watching an episode of How It's Made which featured the Schleich tyrannosaurus rex. Very interesting. It also showed the giganotosaurus briefly being digitally sculpted, as well as the older tripod rex being molded. I haven't been able to find the clip on YouTube, but it was the last item that was showed in the episode.

I was watching T-rex Ultimate Survivor today and saw a Battat diplo and a T-rex skeleton by Elenco.

Very informative! Aamazing how much work goes in a simple toy like this, even in Schleich's case. I wish they spent more time at the designer stage though.

tyou can see also that the rippoff edmontonia has a line on its back a charicteristic for chinasaurus

[Gwangi]

"T. rex Autopsy" also has the Elenco T. rex skeleton.

Also the PaleoWorld episode "Secrets of the Brontosaurus" has Robert Bakker hacking the head off of an Invicta Apatosaurus. The episode also has an Invicta Diplodocus, Carnegie Brachiosaurus, Battat Diplodocus and Safari Memenchisaurus.

[CityRaptor]

I don't know the name of the documentary, but there is one that uses the current Carnegie Diplodocus.

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

I'm watching Adult Swim right now and saw an indent which included the green Papo tyrannosaurus being ridden by a squirrel.

[LophoLeeVT]

hahhahahahahha lol.............

In the extras on the Jurassic World blu-ray, I spotted a Wild Safari Cycad on Vivian's (Lauran Lapkus) desk. Didn't see that in the movie (too busy focusing on Lowery's desk). I also noticed a Papo green T-Rex on the desk of one of the digital designers.

There's also a dinosaur toy in Spotlight that I couldn't identify.

I have found another toy cameo in Jurassic World. A Jurassic Park toy nontheless!!

In the most epic dinosaur fight ever.

Pause it at 0:25 and look at the table in front of Clare and the kids and you will see it.....It´s a Bull T.rex!!

Yes, there is that model, though only visible in a flash. I doubt it's an original Bull Rex though, probably its 2009 retool. It's in silhouette, so we can't tell for sure, but behind-the-scenes pics showed a lot of 2009 figures in that shop.
And don't forget the Favorite desktop skeletons in Wu's office.

I was there, I can confirm it was the 2k9 Rex in the store.

I noticed European films tend to have Schleich dinosaurs like the Stegosaur in Les Compères.

The series Primeval, the "Into the Late Permian" episode the kid had a varied collection in his room.  You see it when the gorganopsid breaks into his room

[CityRaptor]

Given how widespread they are here, it is no surprise. Although one also sees them in US movies, like in Gray's room in Jurassic World and also in young Ford Brody's room in  Godzilla ( despite the models in question not existing when that scene takes place )
