The Identification thread

[Duna]

Ah, thank you! I always thought i already replied. Beeing Knockoff makes sense, but i am not sure about the orange "Palaeoscincus" Ankylosaur.
Looks like Panini. Or was it more like "Panini sold these but the originals were produced or designed by someone else?

Thank you very much

It does look like the Panini one. Or Tombola. They were about from the same years, made of the same material and same numbers. The rubber is very soft.
Posterior versions of these molds are made of a much harder rubber, more bright colors and even a little smaller. Some don't have the name of the dinosaur on the belly.

i also want to know who made this hollow monochromatic Allosaurus

Still curious about this one. It has kind of an Araki feel, so I thought it might be a Kabaya, but I think all his Allosaurus sculpts for Kabaya were open-mouthed.

Saw this Kit on ebay - what is it ?
I mean - what studio / Maker / Artist ....

[Wallnut]

could you post a link it looks very interesting I dont know what it is maybe a abelisaur but the claws,arms and hands doesnt mach.

[Halichoeres]

I don't know, looks like an allosauroid to me.

[BrontoScorpio]

mm...  I should probably take the time to go over the Dan's dinosaurs kits ...

[Fembrogon]

I don't know, looks like an allosauroid to me.

Yeah, I'm getting a Yangchuanosaurus vibe from the skull. I'm afraid I don't know anything about kits, though.

[Fembrogon]

Do these Nabiscos look like originals or copies? There are a LOT of them here:

[Halichoeres]

B @brontosauruschuck I'm not sure if this information is still relevant to you, but that Imperial is a Velociraptor:

[brontosauruschuck]

It's not super relevant anymore, but this list is super helpful in identifying this and that.

[UK]

Any clues on the identities of this little set?

[PrimevalRaptor]

That's an interesting lot, not sure if the Stethacanthus is based on the Safari toob one but the Allosaurus in the top left is a bootleg off a Schleich Allosaurus from IIRC 2005.

[Libraraptor]

Interesting. Remind me at Schleich Minis, but they aren´t. No clue, sorry.

Hi, most of them look to be the free dinosaurs you can get with Andy's Amazing Adventures magazines.

Yep. They all look to be copies of other companies' products. The Dunkleosteus is identical to the CollectA mini. The Stethacanthus might be the one from Cog Ltd? The Dimorphodon I don't recognize but looks pretty JW style.

Yes. My Dinosaur crazy 7 year old son gets the Andy magazines so we have had these in our collection. They have a rubbery feel and are fairly decent quality for a freebie.

Also, for the original poster, the 2 sharks and spookfish on the right hand side of the photo look to be freebies from the Octonauts magazines.

[Halichoeres]

Ah, thanks! I was wondering about the spookfish. I have to admit I think some of the Octonauts toys are cool. I wish the Dinosaur Train ones had been as good.

PS welcome to the forum, P @prehistoric_82 !

[Fembrogon]

I need a little help with some of my new vintage toys:




I THINK this Plateosaurus is an MPC; but I'm aware that Ajax did a similar Plateo as well. Is there a key way to tell the difference?




I'm also pretty sure that this red and brown Dimetrodon are MPC and Ajax (or Tim Mee?), respectively; but if any of the more knowledgeable members can verify, I'd appreciate it.
(...And yes, I am referencing my "Dinosaur Playsets" book too - I didn't buy it for nothing!)

[Halichoeres]

@Fembrogon comparing the different Plateosaurus figures here, I'd say that your Plateosaurus is MPC judging by the arm posture. But I don't generally collect these and I'm far from an expert. Maybe J @japfeif could offer a more confident ID?

Thanks very much! Yes, the Octonauts toys are great, we only had a few Dinosaur Train figures but yes, they were pretty odd looking!
