Hello all! Can anyone help ID what species of dinosaur this sculpt is of? I got it on Ebay as part of a set. There was also Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, Pteranodon, and Triceratops. I only have pics of the Tyrannosaur and Spinosaur, sorry they are painted... I'd love it if anyone could tell me the manufacturer, I've never seen this set anywhere else or offered again, and I'd love to get another one!

Wrong boards. This should be in the Identification Thread in the main boards. There you would also get more attention for ID-ing these figures. Not trying to be a mod here, just making it easier for the actual mods who appear to be late.

Well the first photo certainly looks a lot like a pelicanimimus. But the fact that the tyrannosaurus and spinosaurus that according to you were in a set with it make me doubt myself since they are so outdated looking and pelicanimimus is a relatively newer discovered dinosaur (90s)

Thank you both, for the information and advice:) Well, even if it isn't a Pelicanimimus I have learned about a new interesting species from you, thank you!

Interesting models Gerry Lee,
What are they made out of, lead or pewter?
Welcome to the forum by the way!

I think the top one is meant to be an Oviraptor. Presuming these figures are rather old, there was a tendency back in the day to make Oviraptor look too much like some sort of ornithomimosaur; the crest is sort of reminiscent of Oviraptor and Citipati (although still totally wrong).
As Griffin said, it does look like Pelicanimimus, but was probably made before that dinosaur was discovered (plus it seems like a rather obscure animal to include in such a set with the 'usual suspects').
