The Identification thread

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

The oviraptor in egg was part of Safari's Dino Discoveries line which was more or less an assortment of dinosaurs that weren't part of the Wild Safari dinosaurs. It included Dinosaurs of China figures, the standalone velociraptor, and a couple others. I don't know much about the sculpt itself other than it was based on a resin model. My local museum used to have the resin version in their dinosaur exhibit.

Is that one still commonly available or is it rather rare?

[Loon]

Thanks @Pachyrhinosaurus , that's pretty interesting.

@Libraraptor No idea about the rarity, I've only ever see 2 for sale, and I bought both. I thought the second one I saw had better paint, but I was wrong. If anyone wants the second one, I'll probably list it here soon.

I found another bunch of dinosaur toys in my storage unit. I probably got these at thrift stores, and I'm not too hopeful that I'll be able to identify them, but I thought I'd put them here because anything you can tell me about them would be interesting.

It's not so easy to find but not that impossible.
Just to be patient over Ebay..

I think the Ankylosaur is from a range like a Walking with Dinosaurs. I'm pretty sure I've one in the attic, I'll check over the weekend and get back to you.

[Libraraptor]

I have that Ankylosaur too and except from the eyes it is even quite decent.  No clue what brand it is.

[Halichoeres]

B @brontosauruschuck  I don't know who makes that ankylosaur, but it's been sold by all kinds of companies, including in a big "Animal Planet" branded bin at Toys R Us. There's one in my house, and it's had its back cut open to plant a succulent (since re-potted).


The Chasmosaurus is either a JPIII mini by Hasbro or a knockoff thereof.

[brontosauruschuck]

Thanks for the heads up Haliochoeres! I like when you look for dinosaur flower pots online and 9/10 of them are old dinosaur toys that someone cut a hole into. I know somebody makes actual ceramic pots shaped like dinosaurs. Some of my customers have been able to find them, and have submitted pictures to our website, but I've never seen them for sale.

Oh, except some at Rite Aid that had fake plastic succulents glued into them.

[BlueKrono]

The last picture, the yellow Brontosaurus, can be found in almost every package of cheap dinosaurs out there today. It's a knockoff of the original Marx Brontosaurus from the 50's.

[Ikessauro]

The anky seems to have the style of the Toy Major dinosaurs. They usually stamp their dinos with a small oval shape and TM written inside it.

You're right! I had ignored the TM, maybe because I'm used to seeing TM on things like advertisements and media. My copy is also stamped "Euoplocephalus."

Does anyone know what set this protoceratops came from? It's about 4 inches long and is made from some bronze like metal. It reminds me of the Alva dinosaurs but i don't think it is but maybe it's another museum figure from around that time.
Metal Proto by J H, on Flickr]

Reminded me of SRG, but they didn´t make a Protoceratops...

As to the T.rex, I only say: "Furaffic Fark" 

I didn't see anyone ID this yet, but could it be a William Otto figure? I know he did a set of dinosaurs for the AMNH in addition to the original Pleistocene animals for the Page Museum. I don't know if there was a Protoceratops in the AMNH set but it seems like something they'd request.

For what it's worth, Dinosauriana doesn't list a Protoceratops among Otto's sculpts, although of course that doesn't prove that there wasn't one.


Does anybody know this Pachy and Stego? They have no discernible markings but seem a little bit nicer than your average no-name dinosaur.

[Eocarcharia]

I got this Triceratops on eBay in a lot with other brands. It doesn't have any markings anywhere that I could find. Anyone know anything about it?

[Loon]

  @Eocarcharia looks like a Kabaya Triceratops, maybe a paint variant?

Thanks! I guess I should've checked the blog first.

That's a lot of Triceratops to wade through

Seems to be  Marx knockoff, I had something similar. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marx-knock-off-Dinosaur-Brontosaurus-Apatosaurus-/174262043750

Over to the collective knowledge of the forum. Can anyone provide some information on the postosuchus and the colourful baryonyx?
