The Identification thread

[brontosauruschuck]

Not an identification per se, but does anyone know about the Land of the Lost toys?

That's clearly a ripoff, official or otherwise, of the Definitely Dinosaurs Triceratops. I didn't see any information about a Land of the Lost Triceratops toy from Googling it.

There was a line of action figures by Tiger Electronics/Tiger Toys, before they were absorbed by Hasbro. There were action figures of the main characters, a caveman, and one of those reptile alien creatures, all of which I think were original. I think all the small dinosaurs were reused. I believe the DD Anatosaurus was resold as Muttaburrasaurus. There was a large Tyrannosaurus, but I don't think it's the same mold(s) as the DD large Tyrannosaurus.

Has anyone seen this before? The eBay seller lists it as Imperial. It looks like a Spinosaurid to me, but I don't think I've ever seen it before. They want $15 for it, so I'm not going to buy it just to find out. You can though. https://www.ebay.com/i/124441460822?ul_noapp=true

I've never seen this one. [/size]It looks like it's contemporary with my Imperials (from the 80s) and so probably predates any decent spinosaurid cranial material (and besides, Imperial was never known for scientific rigor). I would guess it's meant to represent a "coelurosaur" (as the term was understood at that time), maybe Coelophysis.

[Halichoeres]

The head almost recalls Velociraptor. if not that, I think Coelophysis is a good guess, although there was another Imperial Coelophysis that looked nothing like this.

Anyone know what the dinosaur at the back is/who made it?

[Halichoeres]

D @Wwd.E4.1:57 I'm not sure but I think it could be the Velociraptor from Disney Animal Kingdom.

My sources inform me the one in the back is a WWD Arena Spectacular exclusive utahraptor

[Strawberry Crocodile]

Can anyone ID the middle one? I'm assume the left and right are Carnegie and AAA, respectively

Even the middle one is from AAA/ELC (or a bootleg from AAA).

But doesn´t it look a little different from the one shown on the Dinosaur Collector Site?

It is actually a Toy Major Dimetrodon. I'm pretty sure its belly stamp say TM inside a small oval shape.

Edit: Checked! IT does in fact have an oblong TM oval!

@Ikessauro , great you could help! That´s what I call collective wisdom.

[Ezikot]

I don't know if this is the right thread, but I've just seen these two pricey figures on ebay

Do you know something about them?

[Halichoeres]

Those are interesting. I've never seen them before, but they look to be Eryops or something similar.

[Libraraptor]

Very interesting. Probably Eryops. But no clue about the company whatsoever.

[Ezikot]

@Halichoeres @Libraraptor Thank you!

they're not available anymore... maybe a DTF member bought them and we'll know more about them.

Actually I'm not able to figure out
when they were made,
what they were intended to be (toys? figures for a diorama?...),
where they were displayed (an exhibition or a museum? a garden? a private collection?),
if they were "mass-produced" or part of a line including other figures...
so many mysteries!

[Halichoeres]

To me they look like one-offs. I would be surprised to learn that they were ever mass-produced. Maybe a diorama for a small museum? But of course I can only speculate.
