Maybe they are somebody's pet project? Perhaps they cast the Safaris and WWD's?

*Looks at Salvat 'dinosaurs'* All I can say is "Eww" Virtually every sculpt is a [very clumsy] copy of a figure made by someone else. And people complain about Papo's, ehm, homage to JP  ;D |

Someone should forward the photos of the eBay listings to the lawyers of Safari Ltd. ;D Though if Salvat had any aesthetic taste at all, they would have ripped off Battat instead of Safari (the ouranosaurus seems based on Battat).
I must admit though the paint scheme for the plateosaurus is nicer than Safari's original. And the postosuchus is actually adorable and even more convincing than that of the original WwD ;D

/\ | nice aat (I have a lego one)! The therizinosaurus is comin' to the US and A Hasbro is coming up with a repaint of the AAT with "Clone Wars" deco, something like grey with wide blue stripes I wish they'd make an MTT (even though I don't particularly like the prequels or even watch the OT for that matter ;D ) I'm thinking of the plateosaurus. The original Safari sculpt looks cool. Though Salvat did something awful to the psittacosaurus  |

I noticed that the Salvat dinosaurs have had their heads modified from the original sculpt (the ouranosaurus and gallimimus copied from Battat, for instance). Perhaps that was enough to avoid copyright problems ;D

Lego is releasing another AAT in January, and it will probably be the blue one

What I don't get is why they were inclined to copy the colour schemes as well?

At least the plateosaurus is different:  |

One of them looks like the Schleich Cerarosaurus.
