[Shonisaurus]

The sarcosuchus is a beautiful figure. Collecta and Mojo surpasses by far. It is much more realistic and there is nothing like the caricature of the two companies mentioned.

You also have to say in all honesty, that at that time was beginning Collecta. Sarcosuchus shame that not sold in an online store.

[Takama]

I think that mystery Sarcosuchus is a CollectA rip off. They been poping up everywhere online lately

[Shonisaurus]

The truth and the truth is that dinosaurs sold by Chinese companies pirates are poor quality in terms of materials used.

Not sure if that is a ripoff when it is not a perfect copy. But CollectA was probably used as one sample. Mystery is what text was printed on this figure. And why it was removed?

"Minis"


Cynognathus
Ankylosaurus
Sthenurus
Smilodon
Woolly Rhino

"Linedance"


Not exactly a dinos but two Bigfoot figures from Sergio Sandoval.

Psittacosaurus in nice dynamic pose.

Haha, I love your "Walking with Chinasaurs" picture. 

[Tyto_Theropod]

Loving the 'Walking with Chinasaurs' shot! Funny, I have the exact some model but I've always thought of it as a Hypsilophodon... maybe you're right and Hypsilophodon is just me.

All i can tell that it was sold under the name Psittacosaurus.

Hi Mest, you have a great collection.

It is a CollectA Rip off from Nayab. It is scaled up, modified and erased the trademark. They avoid the law punishment this way.

There is it with several other stoled designs.

It is listed as Camptosaurus in this publication. And its also made by Nayab. (The pose is good)

"Freddy Krueger meets Wolverine"


Therizinosaurus (Schleich 2014) it's head looks just like big Schleich but body resembles more like Safari.
Beipiaosaurus (Safari Ltd. 2005) this one's details look really good. Best one in this group. Sry for bad photo.
Therizinosaurus (Schleich 2014) is probably sculpted by someone who makes Schleich's dragons.
Therizinosaurus (Safari Ltd 2003) hiding in the back. This big guy's body is made of two parts.
Therizinosaurus (Bullyland)
Therizinosaurus (CollectA 2012) this is the small CollectA. One day i'll probably have to get the bigger one also
Nothronychus (CollectA 2008)



Schleich's



Bullyland has best color sceme for the therizinos and interesting goat eyes.


"Boneheads"


Pachycephalosaurus (CollectA 2013)
Pachycephalosaurus (Papo) I was amazed how small it is. On the internet photos it looked more like the Bullyland size.
Pachycephalosaurus (Bullyland) Scale 1:30. Can anyone explain this? According to Wikipedia Pachycephalosaurus was 4.5 meters long. So this guy in 1:30(23.5cm x 30) would have been 7 meters long. The actual scale of this figure is 1:18.
Pachycephalosaurus (GeoWorld) Same size as Bullyland and also 1:30 scale.
Pachycephalosaurus (Hasbro/JurassicWorld 2015) Same size as Bullyland.
Dracorex (Safari Ltd. 2012)
Pachycephalosaurus (Favorite) Scale 1:50. This guy would also be approx. 7 meters long. It's body resembles closely Safari's Dracorex.
Pachycephalosaurus (Chinasaur)
Pachycephalosaurus (3D print)



And finally got the last piece to my croc collection:


Deinosuchus (Safari Ltd. 1995) Next to Schleich's crocodile.



It's back is like 1980's Nintendo videogame. But overall a good looking "dino".

[Halichoeres]

Nice figures! That Bullyland Therizinosaurus is really quite good.

Pachycephalosaurus (Bullyland) Scale 1:30. Can anyone explain this? According to Wikipedia Pachycephalosaurus was 4.5 meters long. So this guy in 1:30(23.5cm x 30) would have been 7 meters long. The actual scale of this figure is 1:18.

I think Pachycephalosaurus is known only from a skull, and so people have arrived at different estimates when trying to figure out the total length. For a long time, people thought it was 7 or 8 meters long, but more recent calculations have estimated a smaller size.

"Ground Sloth Day"

Megatherium (Safari Ltd.) This little fellow(46 mm tall) is from the Prehistoric Life TOOB
Megatherium (Kaiyodo) 48 mm tall
Megatherium (Safari Ltd 2004) Safari will re release this one on 2016.
Megatherium (Wild Republic 2006) This one is probably made with blow molding so it's empty inside.
Megatherium (Bullyland) This giant(155 mm tall) is in scale 1:24
Megatherium (Geoworld 2014)
And two 3D prints.

That may be the case. Here's anoter one from Chap Mei.

With CollectA:

And today i recieved my first Battat. Nansihungosaurus. Thanks to DeJankins.

[PaleoMatt]

My collection is quite similar to yours in what dinos you have! Schleich is the only one I find in shops too!

Probably many of collectors have to say thanks to Schleich for starting their intrest in collecting

[Libraraptor]

I really like your collection and like watching it while it grows! I´ll be following you!

Thank you

[Dino-myte!!]

I agree with most of your complements here, you have a great collection. Love those first Chinasaurs, they sure do look authentic. Heck, when we were kids, who cares? They look like dinosaurs, so that's good enough. And what's Grievous doing battle with your Therizinosaurs?? LOL!! He can't defeat obi-WAN's lizard mount.

Chinasaurs

There are a few different versions of dinos from Nayab:

Zhong Jie Toys
We all know Zhong Jie likes to make knockoffs. But they really should invest more to their own original series:

A few monstrosities:

And a box that verifies Schleich's Tyrannosaur love for honey:

[mest]

"Kings"

Tyrannosaur (green CollectA)
Tyrannosaur (brown CollectA)
Neovenator (2007 Procon/CollectA)
Tyrannosaur (2010 4D Master)

These two Tyrannosaurs from Collecta are not only different color but also totally different sculpts.

Best looking tyrannosaur figure in my collection.

"Creepy Crawlers"

Saichania (Schleich 2011)
Saichania (Schleich 2002)
Scutosaurus (Wild Safari 2008)
Glyptodon (Wild Republic 2006)
