Who else is there?

What about the old metal SRG?

[Doug Watson]

I would also suggest the rearward facing JH Miller Brontosaurus it actually had a more correct head than the later Marx Bronto where they went with the Camarasaurus skull.

Also the Sinclair Dinoland Brontosaurus with the wrong head is pretty iconic.

[Halichoeres]

I can think of others, but none that I would actually vote for. Seems like a good list.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

a few more might be the other Sinclair version, the gas premium Brontosaurus and the MPC either purple cereal premium or regular playset version....or not. Just a few ideas....

[Gwangi]

Awesome. I'll give this thread a few more days and then I'll start the poll. Get suggestions in while you can folks!

Recur

[IrritatorRaji]

When you say "toys" do you mean exclusively plastic models / figures?

That's usually how this goes. Doesn't seem fair to include things like Sideshow statues, which are in a whole different universe of production and cost.

Was actually thinking along the lines of Jungle Plush, especially since they market their products as "accurate and educational"

[SidB]

I'd suggest the Favorite Apatosaurus (2004).

Ah, okay. Well, I doubt it would get many votes, but if you would vote for it then I think it's probably fair to include it. Gwangi's call in the end, of course.

Cant Forget the Geoworld models

Jurassic Action


Jurassic Hunters

Honestly, this is too Genric of a subject for a Poll. There are Hundreds of diffrent Apatosaurus toys out there.  Even from the majour companys

Just take a look at this Page

No, not really. It doesn't need to include every figure made of the genus, only the ones suggested here. It's pretty easy to separate the chaff from the wheat on this one. The rule is simple, suggest what MUST be on the poll, or what you want on there to vote for. This is the process behind a short list.

I'm pretty sure there was a Toy Major Apatosaurus that came with one of those Animal Planet tubs.

[SomeRandomPaleoNerd]

It may not be worthy of entering a poll. But I think the imperial one is an option.

[Neosodon]

I actually kind of like this one by shleich. I saw this model in person at a school years ago and it was actually quite impressive for its time considering it was made by shleich.

[DC]

If I limit myself to modern reconstructions. I liked the Bullyland final Apatosaurus but it is long out of production. The Wild Safari are the best for me. That said the CollectA mini is interesting, would like to see in a bigger format.  Since there are several species of Apatosaurus / Brontosaurus I think Schleich deserves a honorable mention. They are potential for the more robust species. I have always thought their best work was with sauropods.

Takama thanks for the link

Imperial made one, for those experiencing childhood nostalgia.
