The Identification thread

[Silvanusaurus]

Looking for an ID on this big guy. I knew once upon a time, but I have long since forgotten!

I'm actually selling mine.  It's a Suchomimus released by Discovery, was only carried in their stores, the line also included an allosaurus. It's quite big.

I don't need it... I don't need it... 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Sold mine already to  a cool member.

Does anyone recognize this pterosaur?
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."

I think it's a happykin or happy kin, based on this listing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-pc-happykin-dinosaur-lot/323698334927?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
And yes, I am the buyer. I found it last night and jumped on it. I'll let you know what the other figure is when I receive them.
(edited because I forgot the link when I first posted.)

It's a somewhat atypical Happy Kin if so, nicer than their usual ones. It sounds plausible, though, especially since it's a DK-inspired design like so many HK figures. I think you'll find the companion piece to be a Suchomimus. They make an action figure that looks just like it.

Thanks! I'll share what I learn when they arrive. I haven't received a "shipped" notice yet.

Does anyone recognize this Utahraptor: https://www.baopals.com/products/573143186097

This is either this Schleich figure or a very close knock-off: https://www.schleich-s.com/en/GB/dinosaurs/products/utahraptor-14582.html

If it's a knock-off, it's a pretty good one.

Does anyone know of a toy company called Scientific Toys Ltd? I bought this Triceratops from them and I'd be happy to review it if it's not an original creation.

I was surprised to run into this guy yesterday at a TJ Maxx of all places! it was in a box set with a bunch of other chinasaurs including a carnotaurus and that DK inspired sushomimus.  There were other sets incluing one with articulated dinos that included a very nice dimetrodon and a purple stegosaurus (they looked like the ones from those Lontic sets.) They're actually quite nice for chinasaurs and I was very close to getting some of them but I just have too many other better quality dino models I need to save up for & decided not to.

[Halichoeres]

It would seem a new batch of Xidi/Happy Kin molds are making their way into international distribution. A set containing the Criorhynchus has appeared on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KX3JR39/

I don't think Lontic is distributing them anymore, the name I'm seeing them under now is Kid Galaxy, both on Amazon and in brick-and-mortar stores. Never would have thought to check TJ Maxx. The Ouranosaurus in the set above is probably the second nicest out there after the Battat, although the Argentinosaurus is pretty bad.

The DK-style Suchomimus makes an appearance in this set:

[terrorchicken]

the first set you linked has the purple stegosaur that was in the articulated set. The orange/yellow  euplocephalosaurus might have been in one of the other sets I saw. I think I might have seen the green giganotosaurus too, cant remember, there were quite a few different  sets. I totality forgot to check what the name/brand  of the sets where.

Yeah, they made a set of dinosaur figures associated with an educational game. Some of them really aren't bad for what are essentially game pieces, and I think it's a good idea to introduce them to the blog. It's possible the molds have been used by other companies, but if you search "Scientific Toys Dinosaurs" you can usually find the set for a reasonable price.

For example:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/SCIENTIFIC-TOYS-INTERACTIVE-DINOSAURS-TOYS-BASE-AND-10-DINOSAUR-FIGURES-WORKS/113576523036

Here are the dinos:

They're basically stock species:
Ankylosaurus
Brachiosaurus
Iguanodon (unusually long-necked)
Pachycephalosaurus
Parasaurolophus
Pteranodon
Stegosaurus
Triceratops
Tyrannosaurus
Velociraptor? (might be Deinonychus)

How rare/vintage are these? They're temping my inner customiser! I might go against my normal accuracy obsession and pick a set up anyway. They remind me of the kind of thing I had as a kid and I love me some articulation.

I would take the chance and buy them for those 22 dollars including that device giving information.  I have them,  too,  but without the device. I really like them.  Don't know if they are rare.

I wouldn't be buying those particular ones since I'm in the UK, but I found some on this side of the pond for about £10 - a real steal for multiple figures.

Thanks for the info. Do you know where I could learn about the game they are associated with. I Googled 'Scientific Toys Dinosaur game' and it wasn't much help.

[Halichoeres]

No, sorry, I don't know anything about the game. If you look for these guys on eBay you'll find some of them listed with a little console; I'm not sure, but that might be the extent of the game.

Hi all, hopefully someone will be able to identify this little treasure for me.



Thanks in advance.

I have a feeling this one won't get solved

[Libraraptor]

It´s probably an Allosaurus, not sure which brand.
