The Identification thread

[BlueKrono]

I wish I did. Do knockoff companies even have names?

[Lanthanotus]

Can anyone help with this sauropod? No better pics, sorry, but thanks in advance





Oh, and while we are at it... I think Killekor's sauropd isn't identified yet, but I am still very curious.

I'll help you out on this - what is seen in that photo are several "Chinasaur" knock-offs of established company models.  The sauropod in the photo is a miniature version of the Kaiyodo 1/35 Camarasaurus model, the Styracosaurus is an enlarged version of the Battat Styracosaurus, and the Stegosaurus seen at the top is a knock-off of the Battat 8-spiked Stegosaurus (with the spikes on the knock-off being reorientated to a vertical position on the tail.)

Bottom line - these are cheap toys made from designs stolen from legitimate companies.

Thanks Simon ,... I guessed it's a knockoff as it shows an unusual ammount of detail for a chinasaur, but could not identify any original.
Hmm, getting a pricey "new" Kaiyodo or breaking bad and buying a knockoff for once... need to ponder on this.

[stargatedalek]

If I may, I'd recommend buying the knock-off to see if you like the mold. This is an opportunity very few get when considering buying an expensive model.

[Lanthanotus]

Good point, thanks stargatedalek

Still no answer on that Diplodocus. It's a little reminiscent of both the K&M and Toyway versions, but neither is quite right.

[sauroid]

it is also reminiscent of the Kabaya Dinoworld Seismosaurus olive green colorway/variant

Looking for identification on this little guy. I know there's a series of them out there. I remember vividly a version covered in spikes. This has been tormenting me since I was teen.

How on Earth do I upload the image?

Polacanthus  chinasaur.

[CrypticPrism]

I believe it's a sauropelta. Or maybe just a generic ankylosaur.

[Halichoeres]

Some people around here call dinosaurs like that "screamers." It's usually a pretty difficult task to identify either the maker or the species, but they come in a staggering variety of colors and sizes and levels of spikiness.

You can check out my ankylosaur screamers near the bottom of this thread:

Yours is on the bottom right side.

[Halichoeres]

Man, screamer-makers paint with such a rich palette.

[CrypticPrism]

I know, quite exquisite work. Perhaps even better than almighty Safari LTD!

[HotBrad]

How does one go about searching for them. I look up Ankylosaurus screamers and nothing comes up.

[BlueKrono]

I've only seen that term here on the DTF. Growing up I called them "gulpers" cuz being hollow they'd swallow my other toys, or appendages thereof. Sometimes you can find them by searching for "vintage" dinosaur lots. Most sellers wouldn't have any word to refer to them by other than that.
