Hey everyone, I'm new to the boards, and I was hoping you gentlefolks could help with ID'ing these little guys. I've had them in my possession for a very long time, but have little memory of where/when I got them. The only indicators to their origins are "1999 CHINA" printed to the stomachs of the Brach and the Pachy. If memory serves, they also came with a small green Hadrosaur-like hatchling that could be stored in a purple egg, and an equally small brown Pterosaur, and were packaged in a square plastic bucket. The most striking thing I remember is that the lid also served as a small playset, with screwed-in trees and a volcano that "erupted" rocks with a depressable trigger. Perhaps it came with a play-mat?

I also have vague memories of there being a Sea-World type set as well, though my memories are even foggier concerning that. I hope this rings some bells with someone, as I'm dying to find out this sets origins.

Cheers, all!

Can anyone ID the ornithopod next to the star destroyer?

I don't recognize those and I suspect you'll have a hard time figuring out where they're from. The Stegosaurus looks modeled after the original Carnegie Stegosaurus (http://toyanimal.info//index.php?title=Safari_400001_Stegosaurus) but is obviously not the same mold. I think these are from just one of the many nameless Chinese factories producing inexpensive dinosaur figures from the 90s through today.

Further to my postings of a long while ago, about some brown earthenware dinosaurs that I lusted after as a kid back .in the 1960's.. I now have some Starlux models in my collection and I'm pretty sure they must be the ones! They are semi-gloss brown, VERY fragile and some of them are about the right size, so they fit the description almost exactly. Just the size is out by a couple of centimetres, but I WAS just a kid of 10 or so... I'm pretty convinced that my mystery is now solved!

Glad you found them! It didn't occur to me that those might be what you meant because some of them are quite colorful, but a good many are brownish now that I think of it.

avatar_DinoObsessed @DinoObcessed I don't think that's a Moschops, I think it's a baby Brachiosaurus.

I found these 2 busts on Letgo and OfferUp.



I honestly have no idea where they came from, I just know I own to dinosaur heads, and that may be a sign of a problem.

Looking for any information on this Giganotosaurus:

As you can see, slightly smaller than the Vitae Giga.

That's Sean Cooper's Giganotosaurus from Mo Models through Dan's Dinosaurs just look up Giganotosaurus it's 180 dollars plus shipping which is I think 16 or 20 dollars.

The Crecy models website is Italian so if you order there it will be more expensive than Dan's.

I'm not sure on the Raptor, the Rex I have the same one.  It's knockoff/recast from China of a BIG model kit produced in the 90's.  It actually had a full body.  I think we discussed it on here years back. Maybe Tony McVey?

The rubber looks like AAA or TM. Does it not say anything at the belly?

I agree there is something a little AAA-esque about it. It is also pretty similar to the TS Toys Tropeognathus/Ornithocheirus, but it doesn't have any branding that I can see. It has an item number stamped in ink/paint, but I Googled it and got nothing relevant. It does, of course, say, "Made in China."
