Toy Dinosaur Film & TV Cameos

Here's the episode of TNG that I mentioned



I think this was the episode "Brothers", the same one with Soong and his dinosaur toys. Great episode (not just cause of the dinosaur toys either)

Yeah, it's the same episode. Data goes rogue and endangers that kid's life, so when Soong dies he's polite enough to snatch a few of his dinosaurs for the kids, to make up for his naughty behavior. He's such a humane android after all.

I always wondered about the dino models in Mrs Doubtfire, found this clip on Youtube:

Any ideas?

[CityRaptor]

Those are mainly Tyco Dino Riders/Smithonian Dinosaur Collection models with a few bootlegs.

[Crackington]

Thanks Cityraptor,

That's what I love about the forum, a quick answer!

I actually quite like Mrs Doubtfire (the film I mean!), I find Robin Williams a little hit and miss, but that's one of his better ones.

I was watching Sliders last night and found a couple of episodes with figures in them.
Does anyone know who made the Trex and Bronto?

Don't think I've seen them before but they have a definite Harryhausian feel to them.

[tyrantqueen]

They look awesome...I wouldn't mind having them

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I do believe those are Chiodosaurs aka made by Chiodo Bros..maybe for  the 90's Land of Lost series.

This is a funny thread! No movie, but I once saw a lot of toy dinosaurs standing on the amp of the guitarist of RUSH...

There's a lot of dinosaur figures (mostly more recent ones) in the first episode of Primeval, but I don't have stills of that for identification.

I remember off the top of my head the Carnegie Saltosaurus, Baby Apatosaurus and the Schleich Apatosaurus

Just watched the documentary Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan yesterday. One of the FX guys who worked on PJ's King Kong had a Battat T-Rex on his desk. Lucky bastard...

There was relly none in The Dinosaur project. But most of you will recegnize the model  they used for inspiration on the box art.

Oh my, that's really bad! You see this sort of thing more often (JP Velociraptor on the DVD cover of the Journey to the Center of the Earth miniseries, JP III Spinosaurus on the DVD cover of A Sound of Thunder), but not so often with dinosaur toys.

Papo dinosaurs are common on all sorts of things.   Like this puzzle i found at Wal-Mart

The fun continues, now with a Safari Great Dinosaurs Apatosaurus spotted in What Maisie Knew.

Maybe we should change the title of this thread because the topic kinda switched. or maybe I should make a new threat dedicated to dinosaur toys cameos in films and TV, but that would feel rather repetitive compared to this thread...

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I can change the title if you want.

[Invicta Hunter]

If someone wants to change it its fine with me.

The Kaiyodo Dinoland Models show up in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Mainly as  toy models, but I think the Allosaurus gets to portray the Dinosaur that kills Kai, the son of Witch Bandora. ( Kai broke its eggs out of spite, so he had it coming.)
