The Unique Species Specimen Discussion Thread

Dacentrurus is out. Blame Battat.

I assume Nanshiungosaurus can take its place? Or did someone make a figure out of that one I don't know about?

[Roselaar]

Went ahead and added Battat's Nanshiungosaurus. I used Gwangi's picture, it was the finest. Hope you don't mind, Gwangi.

[Roselaar]

So long, Pelecanimimus.

[Roselaar]

So, is this Garudimimus part of a specific line, or simply a random but inspired Chinasaur?



And out of curiosity, what is the figure in front of it supposed to be?

The figure in front is suppose to be Psittacosaurus.

[Roselaar]

Okay, thanks. Are those two part of the same line?

Garudamimus was part of a set of molds made by the Castings company in Washington State.  They had a brief time a decade ago when the lead figures were common on EBay.  Castings sells molds rather than figures.   Mostly they do military molds.  I have the mold and did cast a few figures.  The other figures are all common T rex, Pteranondon etc.

No the psittacosaur is Starlux.

Thanks for the info. I'll add Garudimimus to the list ASAP.

There are an Isisaurus and Dicraeosaurus at Shapeways by user RareBreed.

Shane Foulkes has a Dicraeosaurus kit (which I still need to get off my butt and buy )

Alright, then never mind about Dicraeosaurus. There's still Isisaurus, though!

[Roselaar]

Isisaurus has also been done by Sega's Dinosaur King line, though under the disputable, generic name Titanosaurus. The design is pretty much unmistakable though.

[Roselaar]

Pinacosaurus is off the list.

[Roselaar]

And now Megaraptor is extinct, too.

[Roselaar]

Arrhinoceratops is out. Blame DeAgostini.

Was on the list, until it got debunked. I read there was another toy in Dinosaur Collectibles, I just don't remember the company that produced the other one.

I thought the Brachauchenius I have, that looks the same, is from the Innovative Kids-Groovy Toob book "Gone Extinct". Unless they're related to the Silver Dolphin company somehow.

Silver Dolphin the book company makes the Groovy tubes.
