Is the Playful Home one squishy? It looks squishy.

Is the Playful Home one squishy? It looks squishy.

To me, both look the way i imagine their sound when falling on a wooden Table. *bonk* But yes, they look quite cute. Nice additions!

The Playful Home one is indeed squishy (hollow), @Halichoeres , so @Kapitaenosavrvs only one of them makes "bonk"

Please have a look at my little new acquisitions!

Field Museum Anatotitan:

[Shonisaurus]

My congratulations, these Antediluvian Miniatures figures are totally attractive and obviously that anatotitan.

[Libraraptor]

Two totally random ornithopods.  I like the dynamic in the right one.  It would look great with a cool repaint.

[Shonisaurus]

My congratulations on your new acquisitions, what brand do you belong to? The mark of either of the two ornithopods does not sound familiar to me.

[BlueKrono]

The one on the left is Kron from Disney's Dinosaur(2000). Don't know what the one on the right is.

It just reads "China" at the belly. It has a seam behind the front leg and it has a squeezing device (!) where its cloaca should be

[Halichoeres]

Interesting take on that dicynodont! It looks like it has armor scutes?

[Newt]

It, and the "Labyrinthodon", are based on Hawkins' Crystal Palace statues. I believe Hawkins' Ramphorhynchus was rather different from the Antediluvian Miniatures piece, though.


I'm not sure where the idea that dicynodonts were turtle-esque came from, but it was the state-of-the-science view at the time the statues were made.

Yes, I have been wondering about that kind of depiction, too.
Found an interesting article about the Crystal Palace statues here.

nice additions, is the one on the left the McDonalds toy? I think I have a couple of that Kron

[Libraraptor]

@Gothmog the Baryonyx Yes, I think it´s a McDonald´s toy.

Oooh, I remember the Kron figure from McDonald's!  Too bad I gave it (and all the others from the Dinosaur 2000 collection) away when I thought I didn't need toys anymore.

Ah, that makes sense! With their beaked, mostly toothless faces, it's not the craziest thing in the world to think they could have something to do with turtles.

Thank you for the Article. It is written a bit loud, but in the End it was a great read.

Arctinus, I made the same mistake.  Had to start over from scratch.  Learned the rule the hard way:  Don't give 'em away today; sleep on it for a year or so; THEN decide . . . to KEEP 'em!  Welcome, by the way.

[Bokisaurus]

Cool new ones, those metal one looks very interesting.

Haha, I remember those Kron figures when they came out, I may still have my original happy meal one😂
