I saw these guys on eBay and they molds don't look immediately familiar. Has anyone bought them?





They look to be of medium quality, so I'm wondering if they're knockoffs, but as I said it isn't obvious to me what they would be knockoffs of. I'm also curious about what genera they're meant to represent (some are obvious, but no all). Any information would be appreciated!

Some of them look like poor recasts of the Wild Republic NHM dinosaur models--others are probably recasts of something else. The 'Baryonyx' looks like the Toyway British museum figure, for example.

Thanks, those do seem to be plausible candidates. Think I'll skip them.

Sneaky dinosaur!

Yes, that's where the enquirer found the pic - but who made it and where can one purchase it? :)


Halichoeres

That may have been made by the Devil himself.

tyrantqueen

It's a Megalosaurus made in the style of Neave Parker.



I think it's just a chinasaur.

MaastrichtianGuy

i know u think the coloring of the spinosaurus from mojo doesnt look that right
oh can u please what does this mojo spinosaurus resemble plus the head

CityRaptor

I don't think that the color is the issue with that one, although similar colors have been used for Stegosaurus, Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus. It's the skin structure.

And it really only resembles an outdated Spinosaurus...or maybe Oxalaia.

Oh no

Tyrantqueen is right. Its a chinasaur Megalosaurus. There are several variant colors. You can purchase the yellow one here (cheap):

Sobreviviendo a la extinción!!!

Tapejara1122

So my dad saw this in a parking lot and picked it up for me as a "suprise". Wasnt much when I first saw the chinasaur but I saw It had more detail than the ones that are completly plastic. It looks like Minmi, but if I could get some help naming this dinosaur figure that would greatly be appreciated.  ;)









Still some seamlines, but its only what it is.

I think Minmi is as good a guess as any!

sauroid

i also have that figure, but looks more like a Nodosaurus than a Minmi IMO. it is just a typical chinasaur tho made of solid plastic. it would have been a cool figure if it were only painted better.

Anyone know anything about this JP triceratops? I have it since I was child.
It's part of The Lost World merchandise and I remember that It´s the cover of a perfume bottle, but I want to know if there are more figures like this. I'ts a beautiful figure in my opinion.

 

Halichoeres

A perfume bottle? That's a new one, interesting. It's definitely too good to be Hasbro  ;D

I have a vaguely similar Tyrannosaurus topping a stamp.

joossa

Got these in a recent lot. Are they rare or anything special? Seems like 3 of the 4 have a stamp on the underside and are posable.

Great find Joosa!

I used to collect them, but stopped.  Here's a link as to what they are: http://www.dinosaurcollectorsitea.com/ukrd.html

They're a bit old, but not rare. Still an easy find online in eBay lots.
