Jurassic World, during the pterosaur attack, the very next cut after the late Jimmy Buffet makes his cameo...




... is a shot of what I **think** are several Papo Running T.rexes, that have at least been repainted, if not slightly modified. They could also be knock-offs.






This may not be the right thread for this, but here goes..

In The Return Of Godzilla/Godzilla 1985 there is an exposition scene near the beginning of the film where we see the lab of Professor Hyashida, including three prehistoric skeleton models, a Dimetrodon, a Baryonyx/Suchomimus and a T.rex. I would LOVE to know anything about these models, especially the T.rex. Does anyone recognize them?

The skeleton in Godzilla 1985 cannot be a Baryonyx/Suchomimus @Over9K. Baronyx was described in 1986 and Suchomimus in 1998! Looks like something more along the lines of Plateosaurus.

The Papo-looking rexes in Jurassic World are actually custom-made resin models exclusively for the film. Also, the Bill Nye the Science Guy intro features cameos of the OG Carnegie Triceratops and Diplodocus. Don't know if this has already been covered, but I just wanted to point it out.

My wife has been watching "Love on the Spectrum," a reality series about the struggles individuals with autism face while trying to date. It's pretty tastefully done and there's at least one individual the show is following who has toy dinosaurs on display. I'll have to go back through the episodes we've watched and see if I can get some shots of the collection; I don't recall any clear in focus shots but maybe I just missed it.

In Germany there is a really Bad ebay commercial these days. A teenage milksop is dating what seems to be his first girlfriend. Suddenly she says next time she would like to meet at his house. Next shot shows him trying to sell a big plastic dinosaur on Ebay in a hurry, as if suddenly he became embarrassed by owning it. Parting from your dino toys, the spot tries to suggests means growing up and becoming more mature. Sigh    I catch myself screaming at him that no girl is ever worth selling one's dinosaur figures...

I dunno, those were not exactly the best figues. More like those bootleggy, knock-offy, possibly toxic things you can find on eBay and Amazon.
Surprised he gets anything for those at all. But then again, those eBay commercials are not exactly realistic.

That sounds like a depressing commercial.

I have come across this show by accident. I like it and will look it from the beginning soon.
