An Eofauna knockoff? I need to cleanse my eyes hold up.

[Libraraptor]

Impudent. 

[Doug Watson]

Safari, Eofauna, Schleich, and Collecta all in one. Does @Eofauna or @Doug Watson need to see this?

Thanks I'll pass this on to Safari Ltd, unfortunately the country that is ripping these off does not respect copyright law and there is no legal recourse.  The one good thing is the listing states "Currently unavailable" hopefully it stays that way.

I wouldn't have any great confidence that a CE stamp, if present, would actually have any real meaning from such a source.

Does anyone who owns the Kaiyodo Legacy of Revoltech Tyrannosaurus have a photo of this part of the box? Or, failing, that, a translation of the text?

I have the brown version, so the box looks different, but the English heading on that section says "Option parts." The bottom section is basically just listing off the alternate feet and the name plate. I think the top section is referring to the fact that the palm trees are separate pieces from the rest of the base, and that they're ball-jointed and posable.

Right. The CE mark is part of the mold. Sometimes these are not copies but literally bootlegs made from the original molds illegally during off hours. So they'd have the same CE and copyright info.

@Creature Thanks so much! I've been on a prehistoric plant kick lately, and I was wondering if the package included information on these little trees (ferns?). If that's all there is then they probably didn't put that much thought into them.

I'll try and remember to check my box tomorrow to see if I can run Google Translate over it to make sure there's nothing else.

Does anyone of you know how these models look in person, couldn`t find images on the web. Producer is ARII and they are obviously not very big.

Thanks in advance for your input.

[Crackington]

I vaguely recall looking into these models a few years back when I saw them on eBay. They are quite old, 1960s? I think they weren't very big and looked a bit rubbish, even compared to the old Pyros.

Sorry, that's probably not very helpful!

[BrontoScorpio]

Saw it couple of times on YAJ.
Your 'ARII' made the trick for search in Japanese :
Found some finished models Here.
But, in case it's realy not the right set - you can read here more on Old Japanese Plastic model dinosaurs.

Much better response from @BrontoScorpio  👍

There's some good photos of the kits here too in this eBay listing, though they a bit pricey:

There's a photo on this UK eBay listing that shows the kits with an R2D2 old figure, so that should give you an idea of the size:

Thanks very much @Crackington and @BrontoScorpio , you helped me a lot

Just stumbled accross a better picture to describe the set :






And there's also one set available for purchasing Here :

[brontosauruschuck]

I found this in a shop today. It's labeled Stygimoloch. I'm guessing it's a ripoff but I don't know what it could be a ripoff of. Probably some Jurassic World thing.

[Creature]

I found these two china/ceramic dinosaurs at an antique shop today, but they don't have anything marking who produced them.


Unknown China Dinosaurs by M W, on Flickr


From the little bit I've been able to find, they're bone china, made in Japan in maybe the 1960s. They're 1 or 1.5 inches tall. No backstamps. They have nice mold detail and shading in the finishwork though.


I found the sauropod in a different colorway in this Etsy listing, but no brand is mentioned.


Maybe they're just generic made in Japan figures?

[Duna]

Any info on these?

I have the stegosaurus in grey. I found this pic of some more figures.

[brontosauruschuck]

Oh man, I love them!

They look kind of Monsters In My Pocket-like. Are they by any chance from England?

Those come from France but mine I think came from UK.

Any idea J @japfeif ? I couldnt find them in your book. 😅
