Better Than Expected Chinasaurs ..........

[blackdanter]

Whilst out scouring the land for Primeval Raptors (thanks for the dang mission bucketfoot ) I came accross some better than expected Chinasaurs that I hadn't seen before and so snagged a few if anyone is interested ;D I grabbed a couple of sets which consist of:

Spinosaurus
Tyrannosaurus
Triceratops
Pachycephalosaurus
Velociraptor
Apatosaurus
Stegosaurus
Euoplocephalus
Styracosaurus
Brachiosaurus
Parasaurolophus
Ceratosaurus

These are very nearly equal in quality to AAA dinosaurs but have no maker mark except 'made in China'. They're all impressed with the animals name and are about 15cms in length (not to scale with each other). All carry a tag marked 'Dinosaur' with kite marks and distributor details on the reverse.

Style wise these are difficult. The Cerato is very, very similar to the AAA version (a rip I'd say ) whilst the TRex reminds me of a scaled up version of the Safari Sue Rex. It also stands well on two feet (as does the Spino). The Euoplo looks very nearly right according to my reference material. The two sauropods are nice though small (the Brachi is quite cute ). The Para is nicely done with a retro pose. Paint on these is well, as you'd expect really (not as loud as my pictures would suggest) but the detail is pretty good

Here's the best pics I can get with my camera:





If you're interested, I'm happy to sell these at cost $2.50, + $2.80 Airmail postage (to the US) each (contact me for postage on multiples or other countries).

I'm open to trades as well

Best

They remind me of Procons, but they look awesome among the rows of old texts.

Procons are like early mammals. One day they shall rise up and rule the world ;D
These figures have that distinct petroleum chinasaur aroma which, I suspect would make them ideal for child population control ................... especially amongst child smokers ;D

I think that aroma is vinyl


These are available at target for anybody in america too I got the spino last year.

Uhmmm, delicious aeromatics....

Growing up in Alberta during the oil boom of the 70's has made me love the smell of oily toxic compounds.

Never you mind my extra chromosomes and assorted growing lumps and my odd hankering for chewing on fresh asphalt.... ;D

They do look neat but my wallet is temporarily safe no pterosaurs!

The Apatosaurus looks cool, wish it was bigger.

Dean - I'm keeping a eye out for unusual Pterosaurs - ELC have some strange ones sometimes. Have you got the AAA ones?

Always appreciated when others are on the hunt for pterosaurs.

I already have the AAA ones. They have a beastly sort of look.
