Dinostar Dinosaurs

[postsaurischian]

First of all, i'm brand new here. Been reading stuff on here for quite awhile and just finally signed up, so, Hello! I'm curious though, have any of you guys heard of these?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Psittacosaurus-Dinosaur-PVC-Solid-Figurine-Figure-Model-/152529253437?hash=item238373b43d:g:NTcAAOSw5UZY~i2Y

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tapejara-Pterosauria-Dinosaur-PVC-Solid-Figurine-Figure-Model-/152524024537?hash=item238323ead9:g:N6QAAOSwvihY~i0S

I just saw them recently on ebay, and was wondering if you guys knew anything about them at all?

I just got the Tapejara and I think it's a nice figure, about 1:10 I'd say.
It is labelled on its belly - Chinese ideographs and a link with the word Dinostar.




The link: http://dinostar.cn/test/. Unfortunately I cannot find any figures here.
Maybe someone who is able to read Chinese can unravel the mystery.

are they made of solid plastic? and is the brand indeed owned by Samson Dino/MonsterHouseHK?

Very unlikely to be owned by MonsterHouse, it's pretty common on TaoBao, with much cheaper prices (excluding shipping)

I just received today the prehistoric reptile and I can say that it is a work of art. Of medium size not so great or better said enormous as is the guidraco, and very well finished. The plastic is solid and flexible (that's not so much as Collecta 2017 dinosaur figures) and is a highly detailed figure. I recommend it to every collector. 

  The delivery was planned for May 19 at least and when it is my surprise that after the work I just received this figure, Monsterhouse brilliantly complies with the delivery of his figures bought from Hong Kong and that I am from Spain, not It has

Thanks for the information, postsaurischian!

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I need that psittacosaurus!

[Georassic]

My Tapejara is on the way. Ordering direct from Monsterhouse via FB, instead of ebay, saved me only a couple dollars. But hey, a couple dollars is a couple dollars.

[ceratopsian]

The only thing that might influence me on those saved couple of dollars is what happens if the parcel goes missing.  (Though I know from experience that the post from Hong Kong is usually reliable.) You have perhaps more to back you up for a refund if you bought through eBay.  I'm not certain if this is so or not but the niggling doubt is a factor that would influence me.

I'm very impressed with the paint work on this figure.

sorry to hijack your thread, but is this T-rex from the same line?

I think that's a repaint of one SEGA originally made for Dinosaur King.

[Ravonium]

Is this made by Dinostar?

Looks like it. Same style. Same type paint app. Dang, it's nice! Got my Tapejara and Psittacosaurus yesterday. Really impressed with them both. Wonder what else this out of nowhere company has in store?

I find it very surprising that this company basically became popular on this forum because of a post asking what company made their Tapejara. This doesn't mean I hate the figures (I agree with pretty much all of the positive sentiment about this company that has been posted), but it is still worthy to point out.


I'll find out what else this company has in store.

[Silvanusaurus]

I cannot deny an atraction towards the Psittacosaurus... but i must resist impulse buys at the minute. I hope someone will post pictures of one in hand soon.

[Shonisaurus]

Also in monsterhousehk is available smilodon from the same company, although I do not seem as bright as the others. Honestly it is not well finished.

On the other hand my psittacosaurus I am waiting for him to be released customs to send it to me. I'm sure it will not disappoint me as I was not disappointed by the tapestries, but quite the opposite. It's fabulous!

I like the Dinostar figures but I think the shipping is too steep...

I ordered from FB too.
MHHK sent me a regular invoice through Paypal with a tracking number.
My order is on its way now.

If not received, you can ask a refund through Paypal.

Thank you, RobinGoodfellow.  That is a good point that removes my doubt.  Sharing experiences is one of the benefits of this Forum!

[terrorchicken]

is it cheaper through Facebook?
