I know it's by Schleich but which line is it from? Schleich has many.

[Lanthanotus]

Good question,.... according to toyanimal.info it's just "Schleich", no line specified. I also found that there's two Schleich Replica-Saurus 1:40 Allosaurs..... the one you got for an avatar and also the bigger, former edition of the "World of History" one.

Well, once I sort out what is what I'll add them all.

No more suggestions? I must have put a good list together.

About the Schleich Allosaurus issue.... There are three Allosaurus in the replicasaurus line.
The first one, released in 2001 or 2002:

The second one, from the small dinos "subline" of the replicasaurus line, released in 2006:

And the third one, released in 2008, and one of my personal favorites :

The first one is wonderful in a movie monster way in my opinion and I bought my son no 3 because it reminded me of Bid Al from Walking with Dinosaurs!

What about the Inpro and the Aurora Prehistoric scenes? Neither have stood the test of time very well, but they're great fun.

What's going on here? Is this forum in a lull? Get voting people! We need member participation!

I voted ages ago! I'll put out an announcement on social media.

When we are up to, say, 50 votes. Then I'll make the top 10 video.

Maybe Allosaurus just isn't that popular?  Or maybe it's just me. I dunno, it seems that the other top 10 polls had more suggestions and votes. This one seems kinda dead.

[Crackington]

I think Allosaurus is very popular as it's probably the second flesheater kids discover after T-Rex and it has a certain coolness. The low traffic on this thread might be more to do with the time of year, with the holiday season kicked in. I'm enjoying the thread anyway so thanks for getting it going. I'm also pleased that at least one other person voted for the Aurora model!

  I think I was aware of Allosaurs before Tyrannosaurus Rex when I was growing up in the 70's!

[Patrx]

Unfortunately, I recall Allosaurus being relegated to "little Tyrannosaurus with extra fingers" when I was a kid. It took me awhile to really appreciate it for the fascinating animal it was!

[Gwangi]

Kids these days are probably less aware of Allosaurus. Growing up it always played second fiddle to Tyrannosaurus but aside from T. rex was certainly popular enough. Now you have Velociraptor, Spinosaurus, Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, etc. etc. that probably have pushed Allosaurus down a few pegs. It's still one of my favorite theropods and on occasion I might even list it as my favorite theropod. Favorites tend to fluctuate, either way it's high on the list.

So it should be given your user name!

Not saying it is an excuse but I just got back from vacation, plus I am doing a lot of home repairs.   Allosaurus is my favorite Dinosaur along with Stegosaurus.  When I was a kid I would stare at the skeleton at the museum until I was told by my parents to move along. The reason why Big Al doesn't get as much love is that it has always played second fiddle to T-Rex.  It always seemes to be portrayed as a smaller T-Rex or generic carnivore, at least as far back as I remember.    The toys were never as fierce as T-Rex.  Now you have Velociraptors and Spinosaurus from JP fame and  Carnotaurus with its interesting head gear, which leaves Allosaurus sort of forgotten.  One of the things I liked about Planet Dinosaur was it showed how unique and interesting the animal really is.  My big problem with Allosaurus, is not the animal, its the toys that have been made.  I am still looking for that one toy that really defines the species and looks great.  Most of them look, ho hum.
