The Identification thread

[Hynerpeton]

Oh ok. I know you would not give yours upl if i had em i would not either. i will see if i can find more of them.

[Invicta Hunter]

Does anyone know anything about this figure, it's about 9 inches long and has 1998 U.S.C.I written on it's underside.

[EmperorDinobot]

No idea. It's nice.

What's this?



Thanks in advance.


And does anyone want him?

[Roselaar]

No idea about either dinosaur, but the T-Rex kinda looks like the Dakin JP figure. The figures for the original movie have '1993 UCS & Amblin' on their belly, so that's also suspiciously close.

[Invicta Hunter]

Yeah I thought it might have something to do with Jurassic Park or the lost world. Maybe the U.S. part stands for Universal Studios, it might have been sold in the gift shop.

Could be, that might also explain why I haven't seen it before on JPtoys. Giftshop exclusive or something.

I found these two funny-looking toys in a big box of old dinosaur/animal toys I have. I'm fairly certain of the species (one being a stegosaurus and the other a "brontosaurus" or similar generic sauropod), but I don't know anything about them as respects their make or when they were manufactured. Hopefully some of the experts here will know something about them?

Niether of these models have any markings of date, company or species.

The photographs (taken in poor conditions, sorry) seem to make this sauropod look bigger than it is: it is only around 20cm long.

Here is the stegosaur.


Both faces look rather misshapen up close. The poor paint job does not help.

Thanks in advance for any help in identifying these models!

[Roselaar]

Those seem to be low quality Marx knock-offs.

[Scipionyx]

Ah! Thanks.

[EmperorDinobot]

Sooo....nobody knows what that red raptor figure is?


And what's this?


(Does anyone want it?)

That figure is from the Scientific Toys interactive 3D dino adventure set.

Very nice looking skull on Ebay, though obviously mislabelled. What is it? Or is it an actual skull model?
My guess would be some form of raptor...

Thank you, Hunter of the Invictas!

I'm still trying to clarify the origins of this guy:

Has anybody seen it before?

Thats looks great, is it resin ? Or maybe an unpainted promotional item ?

It's a pretty heavy resin material. l picked it up in an eBay auction, but the seller didn't have any info about its origins. It kind of resembles a feathered version of the 2010 desktop model, but it's not quite the same style.

Whoever made that one, it´s really great!
And isn´t it great how quickly and profoundly one gets answers here in most cases? Experts help newcomers, newcomers bring in new life and noone has to be ashamed of any question, because we all started without being dinosaur experts, didn´t we?
Let´s keep this place worth being around, an oasis on the web!

Indeed, I'm quite happy with it The legs are a bit odd and the tail too short, but its face is just so darn cute! Now if I could just work out to whom credit is owed for sculpting it. Further comparisons lead me to see more similarities between this model and the 2010 Favorite desktop models. It has the lips and nostril design of that Tyrannosaurus, and a few scale details that resemble those of that line's Allosaurus. Also, the base is very similar to those and the 2012 Dino Expo Tyrannosaurus by Favorite. Perhaps this model was also done by Takashi Oda?

I agree entirely! To me, this forum is an oasis of civility, even when things do get out of hand. One must only read the comments section of any YouTube video to realize how rare and valuable politeness and respect are on the Internet.

That is a Horrible recast of my original Velociraptor sculpt fro the late 90's , it was also copied by the Chinese/Japanese company .
