The Identification thread

[DinoLord]

Do the monochrome dinosaurs have any markings on them? I know Amblin produced a few assorted small figurines for the release of TLW.

Kindertoyz figures tend to appear in the German discount store Aldi from time to time. They seem to be associated with Bullyland. Last time I saw them, they had a set with the two Sabertoothed Cats...I myself have two sets by them: Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus. I also know that a Triceratops set exists as well as a Dimetrodon one, which is where yours comes from.

I was in Aldi the other day and they had this Tyrannosaurus for sale:

Well, German Aldi stores. Not sure about British. Or maybe it was Lidl. Not sure about it. They don't have them always.

That explains a thing or two. So they're not official Bullylands then, just modeled on?

No markings on the monochromes, unfortunately, that would have been too convenient I suppose.

Found this in my bag of dinos, but no markings whatsoever.  Any leads would be highly appreciated. TIA! 

[Roselaar]

Seems very JP inspired, docronnie, but I've sadly never seen it before.

And what's this? Species and company?

Hello from Manila,

I'm quite new to the hobby and am building a collection. I purchased these 3 but there were no identifying manufacturer marks. I would appreciate it if you can help me identify these:

Spinosaurus, Carnotaurus, Stegasaurus





They came with tags marked "SPENCE" Thanks

Hasn't this been answered in the Recent Acquisitions thread?

It has by now, though I would still like more info on the line. If you can provide some, then by all means!

Hello.
I just bought this used Tyrannosaurus life cicle.


It only says "China".
Does anyone know if there are other dinosaur life cicles like this one? Does anyone know the company name?
I really like to get other prehistoric life cycle sets.

Never heard of it, but it's a pretty cool concept! Too bad the figures don't look particularly good. I can imagine a company like Collecta making a great set out of the same premise.

It's a AAA-type set, I found it by Edufun in Canada. We have--or had--it.

[MaastrichtianGuy]

I know u guys think that the megaraptor is a giganotosaurus like dinosaur with hands and claws like a spinosaurus or a baryonyx but the megaraptor made by geoworld doesn't look like the real dinosaur at all so please tell me this guy resembles a jp and a warpath raptor

[CityRaptor]

It's a generic Raptor, probably ripped off from some fanart.

[MaastrichtianGuy]

Wow since geoworld is somewhat ripping out some fanart here the company should be sued for this

Nice to finally have an ID on it! Hope you enjoy it Megalosaurus, and sorry again it took so long to ship.

[docronnie]

Yup, it looks like JP inspired indeed, Roselaar.  Thanks!

I took some pictures on my cell phone of the Dino Horizons that we have here at Toys R Us, but I was in a hurry to get home from the convention.  Too busy for now.  Maybe after all the med conventions and Magic lectures.  Will try to post.

Just found the site, Roselaar: http://www.dinohorizons.com/#DINO_MINIATURES - these are just one of the products that we have here. We also have the skeletons.

I enjoy it. Thank you.

Also thank you SBell. But I belive it its AAA-type, but not AAA. Because the AAA TRex life cycle is much different:



That figures where not originally mean to be a set I think, because I have bought all them individually.
On the opposite side the one that stargatedalek sold me is clearly conceived like a set.

Any way I'd love CollectA or other company do make figures in this concept.

Thank you all.

That helps for the company, but not for this set or any related ones. That site works very slowly on my computer and I can't find these hatchling sets. :-/
