 Found this Euoplocephalus  but there is no brand indicated, only "bi china" ... it measures a little more than 11 cm ... someone knows the brand?

B1 is likely the models designation, perhaps indicating it's the first item of a second set in a series. Other than that I don't know anything about it.

Halichoeres

I think it's very unlikely we'll ever learn who made that, but it's unusual in that the name is stamped in a serif typeface. I'm not sure whether it's a coincidence, but my copy of the no-name Dryosaurus is similar:



One of any number of anonymous factories made them, and one of any number of anonymous distributors imported them. I call figures like these "dime-a-saurs."

Hi.
It looks so similar to the infamous Pinacosaurus, which is in fact a cheaposaur toy.



Sobreviviendo a la extinción!!!

Since paddlefish were around since the Early Cretaceous I figured I'd put this here as well.

Does anyone know who or which company produced this Chinese paddlefish? It seems like it's 3D printed due to it originating from a digital model, and is available in multiple sizes, allegedly. Discovered it on the chinese shopping site 闲鱼, where second hand goods are usually sold/traded.

Also, the Chinese paddlefish was just declared extinct, so technically it's almost palaoart...

Splendid-looking piece. Like the detailing.

Silvanusaurus

This is a pretty terrible figure I found in a mixed jumble, but I'm interested in whether anyone has any idea what dinosaur it could represent? My first thought was Coelophysis or Baryonyx, but then I noticed it only has two fingers on each hand.


stargatedalek

It might be an attempt at a Jurassic Park Compsognathus.

If that Dryosaurus is sort of yellowish-green with darker green stripes, I have the same one, typeface and all. I would say that avatar_caTvalry commander @caTvalry commander `s "Euoplocephalus" is by the same company; I have a "Pinacosaurus" by a different company using the same mould in much harder plastic, I would say that it gets passed around a few different companies.

How old is the Tsukuda Hobby Elasmosaurus?

I had the toy above since I was a kid (though bluer, I think), so it might not be a knock off of that.

Ah, cool, that explains it. I can try to dig out my blue one...

As far as I remember, there was no genus identification, or any box or label at all, it was just sold like that. So your seller probably just tried to make it seem exotic.

I know this does not really fit the topic but who makes these charts of dinosaur/prehistoric animal figures.
One example here:


P.S. If you have a better idea where this post should go let me know. Also can someone identify all figures

Where's the Coronasaurus in that chart from? I've never seen it before.

Hello,
A friend of mine sent me these pictures of one of his dinosaur figures that he dug up from his past.

I was looking at all of Safari LTD's Styracosaurus, but I couldn't seem to identify this one. Looking for a year, or a specific line maybe? Thanks in advance.

The pictures are not showing up, Alex.

Huh, that's weird, they're working for me. I'll try to edit it.
