Knock-off figures - general discussion

[Loon]

This has to be one the first straight up PNSO bootlegs I've seen:

[CityRaptor]

Pretty sure I saw bootlegs of the small PNSO figures before.

[Ravonium]

While I've seen knockoffs of their earlier figures (both size ranges) before, this is the first knockoff of a figure released after their revival that I've seen 

[Syndicate Bias]

Looks pretty identical I feel like maybe PNSO will up their game and rerelease the same dinos with the intended paint apps only one can hope.

[SidB]

Yes, I hope so too. I feel that the paint job on the initial release of their Spinosaurus was a bit of a missed opportunity. A new application with more imagination might allow them to regain the initiative and try to keep ahead of the bootleggers for another lap.

I have found some cheap dinos on Ebay with actually good looking FEATHERED T. Rex among them. Anyone knows what is it Knock-off of? I am thinking about getting it for a repaint.

@DragonRider02 I don't think those are knock-offs.  Also @Halichoeres in that link that DragonRider02 provided, is that the best Ornithomimus toy?

That Rex looks like a knock off of the Dinosaurs in the Wild T. rex

[Loon]

Yeah, that Tyrannosaurus is very Dinosaurs in the Wild. But, looking at the others, it looks like they're not so much as bootlegs of figures, but heavily inspired by easily Google-able reconstructions. That pachycephalosaurs is so similar in pose and design to the concept art from saurian.

[stargatedalek]

These are indeed 100% original figures made in China, I've contacted that seller about them before. These sculpts are produced in three different formats, large soft figures, articulated ones, and solid mini figures (a few inches long). Sadly many of them had standing issues when scaled up and the factory apparently destroyed them.

Ha ha, oh man. As bad as Geoworld's version is, its silhouette evokes an ornithomimosaur. Can't really say the same for the one at that link, which looks like some kind of defective dromaeosaur.



On another note, those sauropods look like the ones that some forum members have been picking up from AliExpress lately.

I've been interested in those sauropods, but I'm weary of any of these types of figures. Could anyone who owns them say what they're quality is like?

They are indeed, the Mosasaurs too. Skinny tail aside it's nice to see Mosasaurs that actually look appropriately lizard like as opposed to the more crocodilian or snake like appearance that's so common.

I can't speak for this manufacturer, but I have some of the Favorite Kinto vinyl models which should be relatively similar in function and they are quite nice. Unless you plan on repainting it I wouldn't be particularly concerned about the soft plastic, it still holds detail quite well.

@PhilSauria has a bit to say about them in his collection thread. I'm not sure who else owns them, but he definitely does.

Found the Safari T. rex's melting, moss-covered sister:

Ouch, I think that she needs to start flossing between her teeth.

[SidB]

On second thought, with those arms, that might be a bit of a challenge.

[CityRaptor]

Looks like it may be one of those large figures made out of soft material.

@Loon could you tell me where you found this $%?&@#* thing?
