The Identification thread

[Leyster]

Ok, this is kind of an OT question but IDK I tought of asking here: I remember that years ago (maybe on the old site) there was an user in which collection they used the Carnegie mountain as base for the Battats and displayed the Playvision amphibians in front of it. Do anybody know who it might have been? It was a really aesthetic collection.

Can anyone help me identify these very sibbickesque toys? They don't look like UKRD dinosaurs and the T. rex comes with a skeleton.

These were a Christmas gift when I was young; and I seem to have tore part of the label off..
I can't say whether all the labels on the box are originally from this box, or if I took them off of something else


Some of the molds are the same as the Marx dinosaurs; what that means I don't know.
Any information is greatly appreciated; I'm trying to catalogue the figures I've accumulated over the years.

Well you have some manufacturing info there on the labels, I had this set too as a kid in the UK so it must've been multi-country. These dinosaurs are practically all remolded figures, from marx dinosaurs and others, or remolded "chinasaurs". Still, this is super nostalgic for me to see, thanks for posting it

They could be inspired in the UKRD sculpts but with an updated look, the Tyrannosaurus looks very nice. The apatosaurus is clearly based on the 1991 Museum Line UKRD apatosaurus. UKRD released skeleton versions of the 1992 large figures (but smaller than the ML) and were included together with the figure in some packages. It looks like a company something similar with the larger versions.

They are the "Then and Now" collection by Galoob:

Thanks a lot! Wow, looks like they're all inspired by The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs

I had a quick search through the Forum (just looked for "Carnegie Mountain") and member Pangolinmoth had a customised mountain with some Battats and Carnegies on it: https://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=63.0#msg613

You need to scroll up to top of thread to see the picture.

It's a very nice display, but I am not sure about the Playvisions amphibians? Perhaps they reconfigured it from earlier, maybe in DTF 1?

[Leyster]

@Crakington, thank you, yes I think it was from the DTF v1

I'm visiting my Mom back in CT, and she's kept a lot of my dinosaur toys over the years. Actually, she's kept practically all of them. I've got a pile of British Museum pieces piled up and some chinese ones with maker's marks on them to help ID them already, but there's plenty of stuff I haven't found yet. I tried a reverse image search for these two and came up completely empty handed. One is a T-Rex, the other a Woolly Mammoth, both diecast, probably 1.5" in length and 1" in height.




Anyone have any idea what these could be and if they have any value? There's a pile of small/medium sized toys as well that are Chinese plastic ones which I've put to be thrown out which I could post a big shot of too.

[tinyvinyldinos]

I return, with more epic beasts for identification. These are supposedly rubber!
They're tiny and adorable and I'm going insane on eBay looking for two specific K&M minis anyways, so I bought them. As a treat.

[Libraraptor]

T @tinyvinyldinos Those are  "Micro Tiere" (micro animals) by Schleich.

[Libraraptor]

Sorry, but I just remembered the Micro Tiere Edition is by Bullyland, not by Schleich. However, the tiny figures on the picture are by Schleich. They are just not called Micro Tiere.

Knowing they were Schliech was all I needed to know- I found their toy animal wiki intro here.

I picked this bison up at a thrift shop several years ago and have wondered what extinct species it is meant to represent and who made it. There is no manufacturers info on the figure. The hump indicates the extant species, B. bison, but the horns counter indicate this. They seem too long for B. antiquus, but not precisely the right shape for B. latifrons:







What do you think?

[Halichoeres]

G @godsonsafari I've checked every place I know but haven't turned up a match for your little guys.

S @SidB I could be wrong but to my eye this just an American bison with somewhat exaggerated horns.

[Flaffy]

S @SidB Looks like some form of the Hausser Elastolin American bison?

@Flaffy, you are certainly right, that's exactly what it is. Thanks!

Agreed, @Halichoeres . As @Flaffy points out, it is (was) originally a Hausser/Elastolin product. These oversized horns have been afixed to replace the original Bison bison sized ones, no doubt. Thanks!
