The Identification thread

[Arul]

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?

No this is not mind like i said hehehe, if i not forgot this model is belong to somebody from facebook group i forgot the group name  i think the owner marked his model by his signature

[sauroid]

LOL @deliberately ruining one's own collection

[Arul]

Yeah i hope its not a permanent ink...

[CityRaptor]

Could it be the sculptor's signature?
I also  think kids do that sometimes...

[tyrantqueen]

Must belong to Andy Davis

[Arul]

The owner show some of the new arrival, and all model have the same sign on its body. Maybe CityRaptor right, signature from the sculptor haha

I know it's a Geoworld Corythosaurus, but I've only seen the articulated Dino Dan version in this color. A search on ebay did not show this color but a reddish brown one and a green one. Is this a hard to find variant? does anyone want it?

[MaastrichtianGuy]

can anyone tell me whats the name of this dinosaur that had four fingers i know that the jurassic II bag set from imperial has a megalosaurus in it

[Arul]

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.

Decided  i chose collecta now im starting to hunt it

Thats the Dino Dan variant of There Jurassic Hunters Corythosaurus

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

Interesting.   Can you provide a picture of your model?

[suspsy]

That nasty smudge on the Smilodon's flank suggests it could be a prototype. Where was it acquired from?

[sauroid]

im not sure, but the company could have provided them as freebies for review purposes, the smudging to prevent them getting resold

[MaastrichtianGuy]

is this a baryonyx or something else or if you call it that is it a classic restoration or a modern restoration of this guy?

[kreativtek]

Can you identify the figurines in this photo? They remind me of Jurassic Park Junior toys, but they look different. I've searched high and low and couldn't find a trace of what these dinosaurs are and what company made them.

[MaastrichtianGuy]

I know you guys think the velociraptor in real life or in life had feathers had a snout shaped like a garfish and are the size of a turkey but I can notice that the velociraptor from collecta the original one not the big deluxe one is unfeathered man sized and does not look like the one in real life or in life so rather than the real one in real life or in life so does this guy resembles the real dinosaur or something else?

[CityRaptor]

It resembles a outdated/Jurassic Park Velociraptor.

[Sumo]

... and a shoddy attempt at that. Notice how the halluxes are placed above the ankle for some reason?

[MaastrichtianGuy]

well I know something about this guy is because before collecta also called procon made the first six dinosaurs in the line back in 2006 the people who work at collecta originaly procon are used to be Jurassic park fans which makes it why they made the dinosaur look like the one in the movie rather than the one in real life or in life except for the first five of them cause they look accurate and alright

If I'm recalling correctly they were licensed under Animal Planet branding and sold at TRU, but sadly that's all I can tell you.
