Kinda hard to read, but it looks like you have a Spanish-language package and a French/Dutch one? Do you go out of your way to collect different language package variants?

I don't seek them out, but when I happen upon them I usually high on to them for reference. So far I have variants from the Benelux (Dutch/French), the US, Japan, Canada and southern Europe (Spanish/English/French). Always fun to spot the differences. I'm particularly fond of the rare European releases of the larger JPS2 dinosaurs, which sport no less than seven languages on their boxes. Yet their collector cards only show English.

The first dinosaur like I avidly collected, when I was only a boy of six years old. These came with packs of stickers for one of Panini's albums and as such are often referred to as Paninisaurs, even though their actual manufacturer went by another name. The sticker album came with a cardboard foldout landscape which could accomodate these little figures. I still have mine somewhere, though I reckon its not exactly in pristine condition anymore. The Panini figures have seen many re-releases over the years and their sculpts can still be found in present day packs of Chinasaurs, often even with the same colours.

Various bin Chinasaur figures. These were sold together in a nice bag with some extras thrown in.

[Roselaar]

The one and only female figure (not counting her later Series 2 variant) of the first JP toy line. Also not counting all the dinosaurs.

A mixed bag of figures from Playskool, Playmobil, AAA and others:



I really need to track down more of those Definitely Dinosaurs figures...

[Roselaar]

That traitorous villain Dennis Nedry sure is a minority in my collection compared to the other humans from the first series. Too bad, less arms for my dinosaurs to tear off.

[Roselaar]

British Museum's recent line of dinosaur figures. Only the ones I deemed worthwhile of this otherwise rather bland line.

[PhilSauria]

Nice selection, and with packaging. Did you buys these new? I have two out of the three but the Corythosaurus is proving hard to get hold of.

Bought them in the flesh at the BMNH when I was there five years ago.

As for today's pics: inflatable dinosaurs! Got two of this particular line, the Rex and the Parasaurolophus. I have fond memories of these.



Incidentally, I never noticed these were made by Toyway. I have more Toyway figures than I previously thought!

[Roselaar]

Some old Schleich. Nothing particularly remarkable here.

[Halichoeres]

Quadrupedal Spinosauruses before they were cool!

Quadrupedal Spinosauruses before they were cool!

Yeah, amazingly Schleich got that right long before everyone else.

Anyway, here's a big load of metal JP figurines:

[Roselaar]

Some more old Schleich figures. Good ones this time. You know, from when Schleich got it right, occasionally.

Made my day!

A bit of Kaiyodo Dinotales to brighten your day:

[Roselaar]

A bundle of Godzilla like creatures. Not dinosaurs, but close enough forme.

[Roselaar]

Some more wonderful Kaiyodosaurs. These are all from Dinotales Series 2.
