You guys ready for part 2? ;D ;D ;D
Well, after looking at my collection, I noticed that I don't have much figures from the Carboniferouse period
Whats up with that? Either I don't have much interest in them or there are n ot many of them out. More like the latter ;D
So, since the faunas are pretty much similar to the devonian and triassic, let us skip it, ok?
Am I going to be lectures? Maybe someone have a collection of Carboniferouse figures they would like to share...
Again, I tried to do a littel bit of research, but hey, not an expert here, just trying to make it more interesting post than just here they are ;D
Here we go, the Permian! ;D
So, what comes next after the big Devonian die off? The Carboniferouse then the Permian periods followed.
Many species and families went extinct at the end of the Devonian period. The fishes lost their dominance, and previously exclusive aquatic animals begun their land invasion and diversification.
Although they have lost their dominance, fish survived the mass extinction and continued to flourish and diversify. Animals like the Trilobites also survived the extinction, although in much reduced number (nautiloids, too, survived).
The biggest winners are the new group of animals that quickly colonized the land, the amphibians and mammal-like reptiles.
The sail backs ( Synapsids)
Perhaps the most famous and erroneously included with dinosaurs, mammal-like reptile of all is Dimetrodon.
No line of prehistoric figures is complete without this sail back beast. Almost all, with the exception of CollectA, the major collections have one.
Dimetrodon is frequently confused with the other, less well known sail back, the Edaphosaurus. Do date, Edaphosaurus remain rare in any prehistoric line.
Bullyland released the finest figure of it.
Another forgotten one is sphenacodon. Spenacodon enjoyed popularity in the early years of prehistoric toy figures. It faded from memory in later years, surpassed by Dimetrodon in popularity.
Linde, Marx, Tootsie, and Starlux all released a spenacodon figure.
The big guys ;D
the medium figures...
the vintage rainbow collection ;D
the heavy metal collection
the Kaiyodo and Yujin collection
and the Spenacodon and Edaphosaurus ;D
I don't have the old Marx ones for some reason
It's in a different bin, I have it, just not out 
The amphibians
The group that was among the first to move out of water during the late Devonian, the amphibians continued their march to land.
The best and well represented from the group is Diplocaulus from the late Permian.
Kaiyod, Starlux, TEDCO, all released wonderful figure of this curious, boomerang head amphibian.
Unfortunately, no larger figure of this species exist that I am aware of.
Other Permian amphibians that has representation in the toy line is Eryops (kaiyodo) and Peltobatrochus (PV), all small figures. (with the Lystro ;D)
Therapsid, Cynodont, Anapsid, Dicynodont
Diverse groups of obscure animals that rose to dominance during the Permian period.
They are often overlooked by companies that produce prehistoric toy figures. To this day, members of these groups remain rare in the toy world.
Scutosaurus is perhaps the most well know of the group. JP, TEDCO, and most recently WS released figures of this species. To date, the new 2009 WS figure is the best.
The Cynodont Procynosuchus is represented in the toy figure world by the exquisite Bullyland figure. The figure remains obscure as it was released exclusively for the Korbach Museum in Germany. It is one of Bullylands finest figure!
The slow rise of mammals begins ;D
Lycaenops is seen only in the JP line of prehistoric figures. It comes in two color versions.
Lystrosaurus is seen in the Kaiyodo collection.
Sharks and ammonites were around, so here they are again ;D The same photos from the Devonian ones, I don't have or better there are not many figures out there
the nautiloids ;D
and the lobe-finned fish again ;D (it's substitution for the Permian species that I dont have or not available ;D) It's worth adding since they were alive and evolving to many different types ;D
The entire collection... well almost ;D
So, did we all have fun? ;D I hope you all enjoyed the show ;D
As you can see, it's not a complete collection at all Still, it amazed me how many figures I have, enough to do a poto piece ;D
Well, next, we take a look at the Triassic! It should be fun! Lots of interesting creatures ;D
