Height wise, is this chinasaur Tyrannosaurus with articulated limbs from an unknown company at 13in.

Ironically, my biggest dino is a baby. I have got a 51,5 cm x 28 cm lifesize Corythosaurus baby I named "Cora". Here, for the many new members, is its review:

My biggest dinosaur used to be the Sideshow Apatosaurus, but it's been dwarfed by my Studio Oxmox T-Rex (48inches) :



It's about twice as high, and even a bit longer !

Very interesting review!

Bigger than a camarasaurus,
and with a bite more stronger that the T-Rex bite,
Ticamasaurus is certainly the king of the Jurassic period.

With Balaur feet, dromaeosaurus bite, microraptor wings, and a terrible poison, the Deinoraptor Dromaeonychus is a lethal enemy for the most ferocious hybrid too.

The JP Utahraptor is huge! Was it supposed to be in scale with other models from the line or they just went for a gigantic size to impress kids? By the way, looking at these JP dinos and the Tyco Diplodocus I was reflecting how big were toys in the late 80s / early 90s.

My biggest figure is Papo Brachiosaurus, still waiting for that "1 meter long sauropod" from Rebor...  :-X

It definitely isn't in scale with the rest of them. ;) And the thing is, back then companies actually cared about the quality of their toys, whereas nowadays, they only care about the quantity and how much they can make off of them. Its really sad. I was born in '98, so I at least got to experience having good quality toys.
Also, about you wanting big sauropod figures... I will be doing 1:35 scale sauropods for my figure line, now that I've thought of an easier way to do it. You can check out my Cretaceous Collectibles thread for more info. ;)

Did you mistake it for "biggest dime" also? I was about to post a picture of a giant souvenir dime I got at the US mint as a kid.

Mine is the Disney's Animal Kingdom Saltasaurus at over 50" long. This titan sits atop my front entry closet as there's not enough room with the rest of the Saltasaurus collection.

Do you have a photo of this behemoth?

Sauropods make strange bedfellows. My Disney's Animal Kingdom Saltasaurus pictured next to the diminutive Carnegie Brachiosaurus. It's 129 cm for you metrically oriented folks.

Well, that won't win any beauty contests, but it's for sure huge!
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Yeah, I was wondering if they thought Utahraptor was actually that big, if I'm not mistaken back then the species had just been discovered, maybe they got a bit too much enthusiastic about a gigantic raptor.

I was a child back in those days, and had almost all of the first line of JP toys, and you're right, you only have to make a direct comparison with the JW toyline by Hasbro to have an idea on how nowadays children are unfortunate.

I'm not into big scale figures, unless Papo outdo their own Brachiosaurus I believe it'll remain the biggest figure in my collection for long time, mine was more of an ironic reminder of Rebor's bad habit to announce stuff that then fail to materialize. But I'll keep an eye open on your work nonetheless!

All the figures in my figure line will be in 1:35 scale, and the big sauropods will come later as I currently don't have enough Sculpey for sculpts of that size. However, I currently have two sculpts finished and two in progress. Plus, its better to start off with smaller ones, before getting to the true time-takers. ;)

That paintjob makes me think of a starlit sky.
Very nice model! Congrats.

My biggest two are Tamiya Brachiosaurus and Sean Cooper's Diplodocus.
(Both primed and ready for a pretty coat of paint.)
