Roselaar's Collection Version 1: 2012-2017

[CityRaptor]

The Sauropod in the first pic looks a bit like the 1990 Bullyland Apatosaurus. Color-wise.

The Dinosaur standing on its tail seems to be based on Gorosaurus: http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Gorosaurus
He is known for that kick.

Hmm, as for Dinobots, you know, there is a Transformers Wiki!
Grimlock
Snarl
Slag
Sludge
Swoop

Gorosaurus... that might be it. Good thinking, CR!

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I think you are seeing more the colors or general shape, but what I am looking at is how it is designed to transform, like where the hinges are there at the front, how the back splits, where the hands fold under the legs etc. Thats how I knew it was a transformer knock off based on the original sludge dinobot. The general transformation of the piece suggests it is based on the original .

You may be right there. I'm not used to my dinosaurs turning into robots, I tend to look at shape and colour to recognize similarities with other toys. 
So let's call it a draw then, it rips off Sludge and the Tyco Diplodocus. Two knock-offs for the price of one, pretty good deal!

Ah yes, I see the logic in that . It does do that for certain. The dinobots were actually amazing pieces of design in how they could be transformed and reshaped. But I am sure from the outside he does resemble the tyco piece more, in color and lines. Makes perfect sense.

the Plateosuarus, Therizinosaurus and the 2 large Triceratops from pic 1 and 2 are actually not very bad. (i'd buy them if i encounter them in the stores)

I thought the same thing about the former two figures. I was happy enpogh to find them on flea markets for next to nothing.

i just found out that that Therizinosaurus is a Waiphoon figure.

I suspected as much, it has a bit of a Waiphoon style, plus Waiphoon is brave enough to include the occasional oddball dinosaur species. I'm guessing the Plateosaurus and Corythosaurus are also Waiphoon figures then.

[Roselaar]

Anyone up for another round? I am  :

I'm sure most of you know these little figures. I don't know about the situation in other countries, but in the Netherlands they were available in these small plastic bags with some foliage and the occasional bigger but inferior dinosaur figure, like the above sample.

As you can see, I got a lot of these little figures. They're okay, not very accurate, but some interesting choices of species.

Another type of small figure sets. These are a lot older though. You'll recognize the Marx rip-offs here. Still, lots of memories for me here... 

Speaking of Marx rip-offs, they apparently come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, as illustrated by this picture... 

...and this one too.

Got some more stuff to show y'all:

Classic inflatable dinosaurs! I'm sure some of you own a few of these. This pic only shows the boxes. I got the T-Rex, Parasaurolophus, Apatosaurus (only visible on one of these boxes) and Triceratops. I'm not sure they're still without holes though.  Scutellosaurus is a real weird addition to this line.

Bunch of Godzillasaurus, some actual Toho products, but most of them aren't. The big one on the left is probably one of the most well known Godzilla type dinosaur toys, it was all over the place in the nineties.

Electronic dinosaurs. The Rex on the left is from a line of quite decent looking electronic dinosaur sculpts, but I only got this figure. The Godzilla type figure on the right is pretty neat, it not only walks but also roars and smoke comes out of its mouth! Too bad his arms are posed so awkwardly.

Small 'walkasaurs'. Very over the top, brightly coloured, definitely kids' stuff. I like the Archaeopteryx though.

Also very familiar to dinosaur aficionados. Classic wooden skeletons, easily found in the nineties. Sadly most of mine did not survive in one piece... 

[brach81]

Roselaar, can you tell me the length and weight of the styracosaurus? Also year you got it?

[Roselaar]

Both Styracosaurs are some 20 cms in length and weigh roughly about half a pound. I think I got the grey one somewhere around 1992, the red one about two years later. But I can be mistaken about this, since it was so long ago.

Thanks for your quick reply, very helpful

Nice Tohosaurs The big Godzilla is probably the best looking out of the bunch.

[Roselaar]

The one on the left or the one on the right?

I actually prefer the one on the left, even if it's not an official Toho product (like the other one). At least its eyes aren't painted on horribly ugly.

[Roselaar]

New pics!:

These will be familiar to all of you: McDonalds' Disney's Dinosaur figures. Including a Carnotaurus absent horns. 

These may be less familiar to some of you:  Disney's Dinosaur 'skelechangers'. Dip them in hot water and see their skeletons appear! Pretty good figures, and pretty neat concept. The Rex is a Toy Story McDonald's figure.

Various monochrome figures. The Struthiomimus in the back reads 'Yolanda' on his feet. Most of the smaller ones are typical dentist treat toys: if you're good at the dentist as a kid (or a nerdy dinosaur fanatic  ) you get one of these figures. I was pretty good apparently. 

Bendable UKRD figures. Pretty nifty, but nothing too special. Camarasaurus is a rather original choice though.

Large older UKRD figures. The Edaphosaurus (that's what it says on his belly) was one of my first prehistoric figures as a kid, so it's loaded with nostalgia. The red Ankylosaurus (which looks more like an Euplocephalus) I was supposed to get for my 6th birthday, but I found it in my mother's closet and my mom caught me playing with it earlier than I was supposed to... Ouch! 

Keep those comments coming!

Another day, another update:

Small UKRD dinosaurs. Complete set I believe.

Bigger UKRD small dinosaurs, upscaled figures of the minis. They originally came in the boxes behind them. I'm missing the Styracosaurus. And one of the Brontosaurs is missing a head. It wasn't me!

Medium sized UKRD dinosaurs. Different sculpts from their smaller counterparts in some cases. I'm missing a few.

Medium sized UKRD dinosaur rip-offs. The yellow Parasaurolophus is interesting, it has the same paint job as the JP Die-Cast metal figure. Two bootlegs for the price of one.

Bigger UKRD dinosaurs. Again, l'm missing a bunch. Different species too here, like Protoceratops.

[Paleona]

Oh man, I have that rearing Plateosaurus!  I remember clinging to him at the store as a child.. I called him play-doh-saurus, haha.  He's a great size.

How large is that blue Rex on the right?  He actually looks kind of charming for a chinasaur :3

[Roselaar]

He's about 12 cms in length and 7 cms tall. Medium sized you might say. He does possess a certain retro cuteness.

[ZoPteryx]

The Rhamphorynchus amongst the "dentist dinos" looks like it'd be a cool repaint.

these figures actually look nice. they could pass for very early carnegie/safari figures if not for the so-so paint job.
