Strange Figures of the 3rd Kind (UPDATE P4 - Nov 07, 2023)

[Halzk]

Sleeping Parasaurolophus. Disney I think. So unusual to see a resting animal, and they are 2.

@Megalosaurus I know this is kinda old but do you know the year or any references for this figure? (maybe under the figure) I'm interested by this figure but can't find any informations online

Hi.
To the many new members in the forum, this is my thread to showcase prehistoric toys that are not part of the actual mainstream toy lines. I'll invite you to check the previous pages, you may find bizarre, bootleg, obscure, old, and beautiful figures. Feel free to leave comment and ask questions (I'll try to answer if I have the info).

Here's a first batch of some strange (and some not that strange) figures. More to come in the future.

I'm glad you like it. Some of this oddities used to be part of your collection! Thank you.

[Shonisaurus]

Beautiful photographs and rare figures, one of the figures that most catches my attention and also causes me a certain resentment is the Toyway eustreptospondylus and to think that I was about to buy it more than twenty years ago and I didn't!

Thank you.

[Megalosaurus]

Hello again.
I have another batch of strange figures for you.

Ankilosaurus? cheaposaurus


Old TRex


Imperial theropd


Imperial TRex


Ankylosaurus cheaposaurus.- Really interesting pose and sculpt.




Iguanodons cheaposaurus.- All the good vibes. Thumbs up everybody.


Dimetrodon badly scuffed


What species is this one? Look at the spikes near the club.



TRex vs Velociraptors.- Its a really interesting knock off.






Mini safari prehistoric mammals bootlegs.- Cheap hard plastic, psikodelic paint


Translucent raptor


This is a Japanesse mini. Seems to be a skull island raptor ( I don't remember the name).



Japanesse rock mini fossils.- I love this ones, they interlock to form a big rock.








To me this rhino looks prehistoric. May be I'm wrong.


Which ones do you like?

[Duna]

That poor tyrannosaurus looks like it had leeches on it ...

I recently got one of these ankylosaurs with some other cheaposaurs for modifying and repainting. Apart from the feet being very wrong it's a nice figure.

[Halichoeres]

Dyoplosaurus has some spikes on its tail, although they are not quite so distal. I think this mold has also been cast in rubber by one of the Italian blind bag companies.

Yes, I remember! I used to be a much more active trader.

Hey. I'd love to see that custom.

Weird! But you are right.

That's an interesting species. You may be right.
I haven't seen that rubber blind bag ones, but a couple days ago I see this mold in a cheap chinesse bag of 4 dinos. But the ones in the bags are bootlegs, the detail is softened.

[Shonisaurus]

Great acquisitions. Honestly, I like all the figures but the one that impresses me the most is that tyrannosaurus attacked by small dinosaurs. It looks like something out of a horror movie from the B series.

[CityRaptor]

The T.rex vs. Raptor thing should be one of those Megasaurs. Most of those a bootlegs indeed.

The "Skull Island Raptor" is indeed such a creature. Called a Venatosaurus, although for wahtever reason, It never comes with the proper stand ( there is a clear green stand with a name on it, kinda looks like a bottlecap. )

Hello.
Here you are another sample of the strange figures in my collection.

TRex cranium incomplete


TRex skeleton


The following 3 are monochrome cheaposaurus, but they have a lovely retro style.




Lontic Argentinosaurus


Safari Ankylosaurus




Allosaurus vs stegosaurus minis Bandai?





Dinosaurs with interlocking arrow like bases.








Plesioasaurus attack! Bandai? The pteranodon is really nice.





School supplies paleozoic critters. Identification is appreciated in the yellow and purple ones. Did the starfish and lobster exists in paleozoic times?

[Shonisaurus]

Magnificent figures. I really like that elasmosaurus eating a pteranodon is amazingly interesting. You have a very nice and varied collection.

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

What a wonderful Thread is is.

[Halichoeres]

Some really interesting figures here! Some of the school supply ones are familiar, and I think might be the same basic mold as Mattel's old "Thingmaker Creepy Crawlers" set. The yellow one doesn't look like anything I've ever seen, although it's a little bit like a cross between a trilobite and a marrellomorph. The purple ones look like copepods. The Mattel set didn't include any ammonites, to my recollection. There were definitely Paleozoic sea stars, but I don't think lobsters arrived until the Mesozoic.
