The Identification thread

[Skorpio V.]

Found this orange-ish pachycephalosaurid in the top-left corners in a kijiji listing. Thought it was Tyco-y but I didn't find anything on em.

[Libraraptor]

Honestly, I have no idea. It´s probably as hollow as most of those and is just looking more interesting than them.One other figure looks like a repaint of Schleich Allosaurus.

[Halichoeres]

@Skorpio V. I think that Pachy is made by K&M (Wild Republic). I remember seeing it at the Field Museum gift shop for around $4 a few years ago. There's also a Euoplocephalus and a couple of others in the same style. Unfortunately I can't find any purchase links.

I bought a lot to get two new color versions of two Danone figures, and among them were these vintage figures from the 70-80-90s. Can you help me id?

These look the most old, I've seen some of them in Ebay but no other information about the manufacturer or the year:




I've seen the stegosaurus and triceratops in a second hand collection webpage and it says it's from a company called JaRu from Hong Kong in the 70s. I have no idea ...
The baby ankylosaurus is also on that webpage but it says nothing about it.
The smaller one is from Yolanda.




These four seem to be from the same company but it only says MILO or NILO on the belly.




The protoceratops and iguanodon? are from Miniland but no idea about the pteranodon, it says nothing.




Thanks for your help!

You don't see Miniland around here very often. Supposedly they once made a Dicraeosaurus, but I've never seen it. Do you know anything about it?

JaRu made cheap bags of dinosaurs, some of which were probably Marx or MPC knockoffs. I think their Uintatherium is an original, though. They're some of the commonest cheap dinosaurs out there. They also bought Imperial a while back.

I know about a Miniland dicraeosaurus, but it's small (they fit in plastic eggs). In fact I have it, they were part of a little colection, Is that the one you are looking for?

I'm not really sure, I only know it as the only Dicraeosaurus toy other than the Starlux. If you have a photo I'd certainly love to see it!

Of course! I have no better picture because the figures are in my parents house so it's a very low quality pic from my old phone.



All I know about this collection is that they came inside plastic eggs (like Kinder Surprise) in the package of Dinosaurus biscuits by LU in 1993. All of them are yellow with a green layer on top and the sculpt is really simple. The name is written on the belly, and in fact it is a dicraeosaurus, and no new figure has been made since. I'm sure about it because I looked for the meaning of the scientific name when I was little. It's a surprise they went for such an obscure species instead of diplodocus or brachiosaurus but it's a pleasure for us collectors. In that collection there was also a brontosaurus (another nice choice) which I don't have. I've just bought a 5 figure lot to get the stegosaurus I didn't have either. And in that lot there's also another dicraeosaurus, so that makes 3. No problem if you want one.

Miniland also used the same molds in another two collections. One was for Energizer batteries and the other for PMI Cereals, a Spanish brand. I don't know which colors correspond to each one.
I found some pictures (not mine but from a seller) so you can see some of them, and also the dicraeosaurus. He says the figures are Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Gallimimus, Stegosaurus, Camptosaurus, Pteranodon, Brontosaurus, Dicraeosaurus and Ankylosaurus.



Hope you find this information interesting!

[Halichoeres]

Thank you, that's very helpful! It's funny that they chose Dicraeosaurus; there's nothing about the figure that particularly suggests that genus over any other sauropod. I've been hoping for some company to make an updated version for years now. Thanks again, great information!

I've searched a bit more and in fact they are all Marx knockoffs as you stated. But no information about the "NILO" four, but I just found it may be a Spanish company (absolute no information about it) and I saw two more figures on sale in Ebay from this "company".

[Stegotyranno420]

@Lynx i believ it's called gosnell or boley. Great models tho, just bad paint. My friend A @Andysdinosaurreviews repainted the smaller model on his channel, and it shows how good it really is

[Mattyonyx]

Can someone please help me identify this toy? It's my very first dinosaur from my childhood. I even remember the line included a Ceratosaurus and other Theropods.

[Paleo & Fish Collector]

Does anyone know what this small Imaginext mammal is? I have no idea what set it came with. The eBay lot I purchased it in came with the small Permian lizards and the sea scorpion.

[BlueKrono]

Imaginext made a sea scorpion? Do you have a picture of it? I can't find one.

That I don't know. I do know it's from quite a few years ago, not from any of the recent Imaginext sets having to do with JW. Maybe @SBell can help?

Sadly I have no idea. It's real though!

Not sure why I don't know, any of my other small accessories, I recorded what they came with

[PlesiosaurusNessy]

@Paleo & Fish Collector : For me this prehistoric mammal looks like a "Thylacine" (a kind of prehistoric Tasmanian Tiger, Tasmania is a country/
                                     great Island State besides Australia in the Pacific Ocean).
