The Identification thread

OK! You want to find out where all your dinos are manufactured?  I stumbled on this site and will most probably find the manufacturer. Hahahaha!

I just found out where Chap Mei, Schleich, Takara have their dinos made. LOL! 

You will no longer name your dinos as Chinasaurs, because there is a manufacturer for sure.  I just found out my daughter's Parasaurolophus is made by Shenzen Dowell Manufacturing Co. Ltd. LOL!

This is a very small Diplodocus, probably around 2-3 inches.  Written on its belly are Diplodocus and K.  It is solid but rubbery in texture.

I'm guessing that it's our ordinary Chinasaur.  Would like to know the company name, if there is one.  TIA!

Finally found what this is! It's an ATBC-PVC Plastic Figurine Dinosaur Colorful Mascot Collection made by J-Gifts International (HK) Limited.

Hello,

I've been lurking for a bit now and have found this site incredibly useful. I've been getting a few figures on and off for Christmas and from visits to the AMNH for years but had no idea that there was this breadth and selection of dinosaurs available. I had no idea Collecta or Bullyland or Kaiyodo even existed! It's been fun exploring all the different species available that I could have only dreamed about as a kid. Anyway, I recently picked up this Avimimus figure and was wondering if anyone knew anything about the manufacturer and if they made any other dinos that might be reasonably easy to find because I think this one is pretty great.


Thanks!

Hello,Chad.I think it is Caudipteryx,as it has a lot of feathers,bird-like appearance,and vivid colors in the tail.Hope this helps!

Thanks Juan. It's listed as an Avimimus but, you're right, it may actually be a Caudipteryx. (Though I hope it's an Avimimus as I don't know if I'll ever see another!)I don't actually have it in hand yet to get a good going over. I was more interested in knowing who made it so I can look for their other stuff. I like this one a lot so I'm curious what else the maker of this one has made to see if I can track them down.

Nice figure you have there Chad.

Eyes glow yellow and roars. Mom brought it from Goodwill, and I love it. What is it?

It's Chap Mei (known as Jimei in Asia). It's one of the rarer Chap Mei figures. 

I am very familiar with most Chap Mei dinosaurs, but this one I had never seen before. The triceratops I am used to dealing with from Chapmei have large teeth...

Anywho, I found this lovely ceramic Trachodon today:



It measures 4.5in tall.
Where and when is it from and does anybody want it?

I also saw a made in china tiger shark:

It's about 5in long and does anybody want it?

Is it actually a Carnegie? I don't recognise it-but it looks like it has Carnegie  stylisation, especially in the paint.

I have no idea what that is, did a big google search, came up with nothing that looks remotely like that !

I already posted that in the eBay thread. It's a Playvisions Apatosaurus, with a Carnegie tag stuck around its neck.

It's all good. I was just answering

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

I apologise for posting it, as you already did. I wonder if anyone will be disappointed by realising it is not a Carnegie.

No need to apologise, mistakes happen

Somebody should contact the seller.

I've got a jurassic park thrasher t-rex here that is very colorful. i would like to know if know if there is anything special about it, cause i have never seen any thrashers that have these colors. ( and yes i know its in bad condition, i picked it up a thrift store just because it looked cool )

[tyrantqueen]

It's from the Chaos Effect line. All of the dinosaurs from that line have bright, eye burning colours. Not to my tastes, but they do have some fans

I believe your particular figure is the genetically modified tyrannosaurus http://jurassicpark.wikia.com/wiki/Thrasher_T-Rex
