Australian Age of Dinosaurs from Minizoo

[RobinGoodfellow]

Banjo is already in my collection (I did an order directly from AAOD Museum) and I can highly suggest this figure to every collector:

I did the same, and I concur with Robin.  The pose, paint and detail are all very good.  Highly recommend Banjo to collectors.

I will get it this or next week and i cant wait how to feel and see when it is in my hands. Its rather hard plastic right?

Yes it is.

It's been a while, AAOD released a plush 'banjo', any updates?

[Flaffy]

Just messaged AAOD if more figures are coming, here is their response.
"We are working on it! Hopefully in 2017..."\

I'm trying to determine what company manufactures the Australian Age of Dinosaurs line. I'm presuming that the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum don't have a factory, and as far as I can make out, Minizoo is just the distributor. Does anyone know? Can anyone check, or take a photo of, the back of the Australovenator box? Thanks!

Edit - from what I can work out, the company is called "Australian Age of Dinosaurs Ltd". Can anyone confirm?

Thanks, RobinGoodFellow! So, on the box it just says "Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum". However, on the museum's website, they call themselves "Australian Age of Dinosaurs Limited" (See 'Contact us' at bottom of this page: http://www.australianageofdinosaurs.com). So, I'm going with that.

It means that the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Collection and the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum are both products of Australian Age of Dinosaurs Limited.

When it came to providing the product, MiniZoo actually wasn't able to do that/be the distributor.  MiniZoo explained this in Reply #254 here: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=3409.msg134521#msg134521

Thanks, so we should remove Minizoo from the title of the Dinotoyblog review of "Banjo": http://dinotoyblog.com/2016/02/25/australovenator-australian-age-of-dinosaurs-and-minizoo/

It's been long, any news on new figures?

[Halichoeres]

No real news yet, don't get too excited!

I wrote to AAoD expressing my appreciation for the Australovenator and inquiring whether it has met with enough success to hope for new figures. They responded that the figure is selling well, but that with a new exhibit they're developing the figure line has been on the back burner. However, they say they're planning to continue, but with no definite release dates yet.

I hope this company makes more dinosaurs like the australovenator, I bought it more than two years ago and I'm still as enthusiastic about it as it was the first day .   It stays perfectly standing, it has no clown feet, the plastic material is quite good and resistant and it would be a great thing if this company makes more dinosaurs for example the rhoetosaurus or the muttaburrasaurus to give two examples.

They are exceptional AAoD figures.

I just wish the figure was made available to more retailers; I can't afford shipping direct from Australia.

Shipping for me wasn't much more than  I would pay for Priority shipping in the States.

Did AAOD go the way of Terra by Battat?
Haven't heard from them for ages, still wondering if they're going to the minmi, diamantinasaurus and muttaburasaurus.

I looked around this thread, and clicked on a link to the AAOD website. Browsing around, I noticed that the Australovenator has been reduced (it's the only thing in the plastic toys section that is reduced).

Make of this what you will, but to me, it's a fairly telling sign that the Australovenator is not selling well, and that they are likely not going to make anything new soon.
