The Identification thread

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I have some doubt either piece is MPC either...although the bird figure is closer than the parasaur......

[BlueKrono]

The are definitely not true Marx or MPC. Knockoffs of some kind, though I've never seen these specific ones before. The MPC Diatryma has rubbing feathers, not the odd bumps on this one. Pose is the same though.

The legs on the parasaur are reversed in position for the MPC....etc. There are subtle differences which make me agree both pieces are knock offs at a glance passing for the original.

They are copies of some sort but both larger and different textures to both Marx and MPC. Excellent figures from Japan though and they have an old school charm about them.

Thanks for speculating too. Btw the black stegosaurus is a Timpo. It's a shame there are no identifying marks on these figures as it would be great to pin down their origin down.

Does anyone recognize this lizard-y thing? Thanks in advance!

Finally, I was able to find out what this is:

Tsukuda Jurassic Park Small Velociraptor  - 1993 

It has lost its base and maybe it was used in a diorama.  I just found this inside my bag of goodies way back when.

Does anyone know any good web or forumn based references for Iding small plastic animals from the 50's-60's. I found a bunch of soft rubber like plastic farm and north american animals. I think they could be marx but im not sure. They are highly detailed and the color material says most likely 1950's. Some are on bases ad then some slightly larger ones are present without bases and hollow insides.

I just picked them out of a bin loose at a goodwill outlet so I cant be sure they all are from the same brand but most likely the same donater. It was a fun treasure hunt going through piles of stuff trying to find them all. They were spread across 3 3'x10' wheeling trays.

Never heard of Iding before. If there are any other markings on the underside that can help in an ID. If they aren't extinct animals I would ask over at the animal toy forum. They are probably more familiar with extant animal figures than the folks here (though there is of course some overlap).

It would help a lot if you could post a picture!

Question from a Reddit user! What dinosaur (or other prehistoric creature) could this be? My best bet is Postosuchus, but maybe someone has a better guess?

[AcroSauroTaurus]

It was probably meant to be Postosuchus, but with Posto's recent bipedalism, I'd say Saurosuchus.

Thank you!

My figures for comparison.

[BlueKrono]

What is this strange beast?? Looks like a penguin with monkey arms dressed in a pteranodon costume.

[Roselaar]

Don't know the brand, but it looks like a crucified batwinged Pteranodon...

[sauroid]

looks like Rodan's freaky stillborn baby

[Bertensgrad]

Vintage looking dino any help?

[BrontoScorpio]

I stumbled across some interesting figures, but they do remind me something I have seen -
so, I wish to ask if these are repaints of some known toy figures, Thanks  :

[Faelrin]

The "raptor" seems strangely similar to Rebor's Utahraptor "Wind Hunter", but otherwise I'm not sure. They sure do look nice though.
