Interesting bundle, @Crackington. The dark-colored thing at front center, is that a scorpion of some kind? I can't make head nor tails of it.

Yeah, looks like a generic scorpion. It's facing the camera and touching its "fingertips" together like Mr. Burns.

@Crackington - that's a lot with some real charmers in it.

@EmmaLVV - you have not one but two Lambeosauri!  Handsome photos of elegant models.

@BlueKrono  EXCELLENT

[Crackington]

Beautiful Invictas @EmmaLVV   - I concur with @ceratopsian , two Lambeosauruses is really impressive!

Thanks for the kind comments and suggestions for brands on my haul everyone. It was one of those easy to overlook lots on eBay and the picture wasn't  too clear (like my one!), but I sensed there were some golden oldies lurking in there with the Inpros and it was really cheap.

Just to summarise what we know is there:

Ajax Smilodon - pretty sure it's that comparing it to figure on Randy Knol's excellent Dinosaur Collector site. Mind you, I was hoping it was an MPC Dire Wolf with my dodgy eyesight when bidding!

Jaru (thanks P @PlesiosaurusNessy ) Allosaurus and Triceratops x2 - Marx knock offs with Christopher Lee Dracula eyes 😄.

Inpro Triceratops and Protoceratops, but the Brachiosaurus at the back is not one I'm afraid, it's very rubbery and I'm pretty sure Inpro didn't do one.

Kenner JP Lost World Baby Triceratops and Panini knock off Camptosaurus, more rubbery than the real ones (thanks for confirming this  @Roselaar )

Diener knock off T-Rex and Triceratops and the venerable Nabisco Dimetrodon (thanks again to @DC website)

I'll take some more photos and resume on the ID thread, but just to say spot on @BlueKrono  and @Halichoeres , the dark menacing figure is indeed a scorpion, pretty nicely done, I'll include it in the
ID post there even though it's an extant animal. I'll call it Mr Burns too 😄

Timmee smooth Smilodon they are similar to Ajax but no mammals

[Crackington]

So it is @DC ! Thanks for the ID.

[PlesiosaurusNessy]

@Crackington : The Inpro figures are from different materials, I own a few, yours too and I am very sure, the brachiosaur is an Inpro, because
I own the Inpro mammoth, which is extremely rubbery and has this big eyes, too. And, yes, all my other Inpro´s are made from another material!

[Crackington]

Hi P @PlesiosaurusNessy , I know what you mean, it does have that Inpro look and style and from a photo could easily be mistaken for one.

It's very different when you hold it in your hand though and is actually hollow in its tummy, very different even from the rubbery mammoth. I'll show it in the ID thread later with the other ones still without an ID and Mr Burns 😉

I used to have the Inpros as a child in the 70s and had most of them, but the only sauropod they made was the bigger brontosaurus, as far as I'm aware. I've since collected them all, following collector sources such as Dinosauriana and the DC site:

That said, who knows what happened in those 1970s Hong Kong factories, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was connected to the Inpros somehow!

Thanks, Crackington

[Halichoeres]

@BlueKrono thanks, that description snapped the image right into place in my head!

[Baryonyx]

@Shonisaurus , @Halichoeres , ? @Stolpergeist and S @SidB

Thanks for your nice words and sorry for my late reply.

@Halichoeres  I think the Hypacrosaurus might be a variant of some kind? In any case, the osteoderm - spots and stripes on the crest are in an off white colour rather than yellow that seems to be normal, as well as the different stripes! Glad you like the blue.
S @SidB, I have seen the baby version and if I come across it on UK Ebay will try and get it! I think it's probably quite rare here.

Thanks!

[Shonisaurus]

I just received the tuojiangosaurus from PNSO it is quite nice and quite acceptable size considering it is the popular PNSO line. It is a hard but not rigid PVC dinosaur, it looks as if its legs were made of rock. Recommended for anyone who is interested.

That is quite quick then!

oh that is good, my favourite Stegosaur gets the love it deserves. I am pleased for you

[Shonisaurus]

@ceratopsian My shipment reached me in five days. I can not complain. Hope yours arrives quickly. Is very pretty.

@Gothmog the Baryonyx Thanks for your kind words. If you are waiting for it, it will arrive soon. It's a matter of time.

[Loon]

Congratulations, @Shonisaurus ! I am very excited for mine to get here soon.

[AcroSauroTaurus]

Jurassic World Primal Attack Edmontosaurus

Jurassic World Primal Attack Alioramus

Jurassic World Primal Attack Postosuchus

[Shonisaurus]

Although I have already mentioned my congratulations on your new acquisitions of Jurassic World.

[Shonisaurus]

@Loon Thanks for your kind words. Indeed, the PNSO tuojiangosaurus is a totally cool figure. Hope you get it soon.

[Halichoeres]

@Loon Thanks for your kind words. Indeed, the PNSO tuojiangosaurus is a totally cool figure. Hope you get it soon.

Mine showed up too. Despite my excitement I'm not letting myself open it until I finish grading these papers.

Which hasn't stopped me frittering away time on the forum.
