You mean the toob package itself, or the figures in the toob? In the case of the former, it's about 25 cms.

[Arul]

Sorry i mean the figure hehehe

[SBell]

Sorry i mean the figure hehehe

Most of them are about 10 cm long.

For example:



Some, especially the Cretoxyrhina, are a little larger.

Ohh okay thanks SBell  i want to make a model from a clay for my liopleurodon diorama. Blade suggest WS prehistoric shark toob but i cant get it here.

Hello.
What species does represent the primeval giant scorpion?

[Roselaar]

I think it's not supposed to represent any particular species, but rather a fictional one.

I've got a bit of a mystery on my hands. I found this triceratops in with some figures I'd packed away a long time ago during renovations and had lost the box until recently. However, I have no idea what the brand is. Its labelled "ELC" and the colour palette seems reminiscent of the Battat triceratops. Can anyone identify it?

[tyrantqueen]

It's one of those ELC (Early Learning Centre) copies of Safari dinosaurs. In this case, the copied dinosaur in question is the Great Dinos Triceratops



I know they did others as well.

[sauroid]

is the ELC copy hollow like a typical chinasaur?

[tyrantqueen]

The original is hollow too.

I got this T. rex statue for Christmas. I was wondering what brand it is or who the sculptor is. Thanks.

Which one is better based on scientific accurate guys, papo or collecta (smilodon) ?

Favorite.

But seriously on those two, model wise they're fairly accurate. It's not as hard to make a cat accurate than a dinosaur. It would have to come down to a personal choice and taste. Papo went a fairly normal, conservative look with it based more off of a lion, while CollectA's new one has a more Bobcat kind of feel with it. I'd take CollectA personally, as it fits my tastes and wants better than Papo's.

If it's the old CollectA one you're inquiring about though, go Papo. Papo's is better than the old CollectA one.

[sauroid]

the Mojo one is also very good

[Arul]

Thanks for the advice Dino Master and sauroid  i love papo but the headsculp (especially the small teeth behind the major teeth) seems not painted/sculpted so well. Collecta is great i love the headsculp it looks alive but the paint job on the feet not so good...just like Dino Master said papo is based on lion and collecta is based on bobcat, i will search some info about the fossil record first before i buy it hehehe

Of the available ones, the Mojo has been at the top of my list, but if the new CollectA turns out as good as it's catalog pictures then that one will be at the top of the list.

[Arul]

This is collecta smilodon, not mind 

[sauroid]

is that your CollectA Smilodon ARUL? why does it have a paint smudge on its side?

It looks as good as I'd hoped--but, yeah--what's with the black squiggle on the side?
