[Blackdanter]

Anyone knows something about these?

They are obviously not what the seller claims them to be.

They look like 1960's Japanese clockwork models. You sometimes see the kits for sale but I've never seen one made up. I can't remember who made them now, possibly Bandai but don't take my word for it ;O)

Can anyone identify these?  Are they from the same manufacturer set or series?  They seem to be of the same quality and material, but I didn't acquire them together. 
Thanks.

CityRaptor: I think they are bandai models. Originally they would have had a key to wind them. Here are the bandai styrac and iguanodon.

Any ideas? I couldn't resist them because they were so cute They have bobbly heads.

[ruel]

Thanks Seijun, but mine definitely aren't Bandai.  They're simple molded plastic with no wind-up mechanism.

They look like them dollor Tree toys that i seen.    Nothing specieal about them

Ruel: Sorry, I was responding to CityRaptor. forgot to quote him. His look like bandai, yours look like average dollar store figures.

[ruel]

Thanks friends!  I'll go check some local dollar stores to see if I can't find a match for them, and maybe others if they do indeed form part of a set.  They have certain charm to them, despite being of no comparison to higher caliber figures.

And I didn't know Bandai also made dinosaurs, though I do have more than a dozen of their giant monster/kaiju 6" figures from the Godzilla, Gamera, and Ultraman series.

Bandai makes lots of dino figures. Most are smaller size.

[ruel]

Hm, a quick web search turned up lots of Bandai dinosaurs, mostly posed statues/sculptures.  Would be neat if they also made poseable action figures in a size scale to match their extensive line of Japanese giant monsters.

Thanks for the id! Sorry for the late reply.

Any Info on that Iguanodon?

Looks pretty well made.

Also: Those are MPC Dinosaurs, right?

They look more like knock-offs of MPC than actual ones, but it can be hard to say. I can't recall there being a bright yellow run but it's possible.

Hi guys,
I think I've solved my own problem. I was doing my usual search on eBay for dinos, and I found this...





They're called Ani-mates Dancing Dinos. They've been discontinued now, but they came with a collector's card and base.

Well, they arrived today. They are indeed not MPC, but they are pretty close to the real deal.

So any Info on the Iguanodon?

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I took a minute and glanced at those dinosaurs as well. I collect MPC dinosaurs, quietly and have not said alot. I wonder did those have a makers name on them? They look very much like the figures marx used of MPC dinosaurs towards the end of their reproduction playset run.....do they happen to say marx on them? Is there a brand name given? I have similar figures that were  done by Marx, using MPC molds.

[CityRaptor]

The is no name. Not even a China. All they have is numbers on their necks
1 Trachodon
2 Brontosaurus
3 ? presumbly Stegosaurus, as it lacks a number due to its short neck.
4 Tyrannosaurus
5 Kronosaurus
6 Allosaurus

This coelcanth is currently listed on Yahoo but there's no real info besides "rare vintage", anyone know who made it or if it's part of a series? And does it really warrant that price...I've never seen it before myself but $1200+ sounds a little steep.

It could be hand-made (one of a kind).
