Yeah I tried looking up disney dinosaur toys and all I was gettinng for the raptor is the one CCM mentioned. Its articulated and chunky looking. The one in that photo looks like its all one solid piece. I bet you it was part of a board game or playset or something like that. It def looks like a Disney raptor though.
Hey, that's very interesting because it means Larami did some more dinos non-Invicta-based besides that styracosaurus and ankylosaurus... This Parasauro appears to be cloning the colour scheme of Carnegie, which is something Larami also did with a plesiosaur I just bought today: It still is the well known Invicta ripoff but has the colour scheme of the Carnegie elasmosaurus!

Hum... Someone have pictures of the other Larami Dinos... I never saw them! I think someone must do a photo database with pics of each dino, individually. But, that's seems do be hard to do! It would take a lot of time and patience!

Hey, thanks CCM and Griffin. I'm thinking more and more it is some kind of Disney dino too. It's curious, I'm liking this little "toy" more than some of the museum quality raptors!
So, Blade you think the tiger-striped Rex might be a Sega of sorts and Boki thinks maybe a Kinto variant, while CT is thinking more towards Battat. Well, I will have to say that even though we still don't know for sure what it is, I do feel I'm getting closer than ever before and one thing is for sure, we all seem to like it! I wonder who actually won that auction. Maybe he/she will come forward someday and maybe even on this sight.
Larami also did Carnotaurus and Procompsognathus, or was that jasman?
Larami didn't make a Carnotosaurus or Procompsognathus. Larami only made 11 figures: Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, Iguanodon, Parasaurolophus, Elasmosaurus, Stegosaurus, Styracosaurus, Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus. They made 3 that Invicta didn't make: Ankylosaurus, Parasaurolophus and Styracosaurus.

Thanks, orthocone. Yeah, all of the ones in those first three pics are older WS and Carnegie figures, except for that odd little pea-green Bronto and the tan raptor with the blue on it's head that's down in the front. We were wondering who made that raptor. It's definitely not by Safari, but it is a cool little figure!

As far as I know we do have a LARAMI thread somewhere around here. Itīs in the Dinosaur Toys section and a little older. Here you can see pics. And yes, Jasman made Carnotaurus. A huge one and a small one, same look, only different in size.

Jasman had some neat pieces..the Raptor Pack, Carnotaurus and Procomsognathus..and especially the Gallimimus they did. They didn't make the Compy in a larger size did they ?

The gallimimus basically has a compy body, so you could just saw off the head of the galli and sculpt a compy head to make compsognathus.

Anyway, thanks guys for your input!!
Honestly, as sad as it may sound, I think Disney has one of the most accurate velociraptor reconstructions, minus the lack of feathers. It actually looks like the bones. It was one of the few who wasn't misled by JP's raptors. Disney's are actually small in stature like they should be and really birdlike with that distinctive long narrow snout. They look really good.
