PlayVisions mammals

[therizinosaurus]

Hi everyone,
I just figured I'd start a thread dedicated to this line, I've recently fallen in love with them since I started my collection.
Just for some background info, the complete set (according to Sbell) is:
Small: Andrewsarchus, Smilodon, Palorchestes, Prorastomus, Eobasileus, Megatherium, Ursus spelaeus, Mammuthus
Large: Palorchestes, Eobasileus, Smilodon, Andrewsarchus

Here is my collection of 5 of the small ones:

Right to left: Eobasileus, Cave bear, Palorchestes, Prorastomus, Megatherium

Here is Boki's CQ page with all of his PV mammals:
www.collectorsquest.com/collection/1369/playvison.html

His small ones (sans mammoth):

And the complete large set:
www.collectorsquest.com/collection/item/21935/the-large-set.html

Does anyone else collect these guys? And Sbell, is there any way you could post a pic of the mammoth? That's the only one not pictured in this thread.

Of course I can:

And the other small ones that aren't pictured:

Homotherium (labelled Smilodon, but quite clear based on the source material images that it should be Homotherium):


Andrewsarchus (labelled 'prehistoric hyena', and based on the source art, they may have been confused between this and the Hyaenodon picture--the discrepancy is worse in the large figure)

Yes I have all the large ones and the small Prorastomus and Megatherium.

Thanks sbell! The mammoth figure is kinda weird looking, but I like him. Now to find him and the other 2 you posted....
And stoneage, you're very lucky to have the big guys.

i noticed on the andrewsarchus it says andrewsarchus hyena then i found another one with no PV mark or date of 96' that says PEC in a square along with other ones. So its PEC another company that did these as well maybe as a copy of playvisions.

I was not aware of that--there may be a bootleg group out there. Now where are the PV bootleg amphibians!?

I will call dibs on at least a couple of each of the amphibians then! If they're available, of course.

Are you selling those? Because I want one or two. It will depend on the colors it has. But they are cute.

Oh nice mammals by the way.

[stoneage]

I woud also like several of them if you can make them available. Do you have the platyhystrix?

[franchesca]

im working on issues with casting its sail

Hi,

Play vision didn't own all their molds. One of the resons they gave for dropping out of the figure biz was all the copies being marketed. The figures appear to have been copied directly from the Macmillian Encylopedia of Extinct animals and the names for the mammals were often wrong.

I've already got dibs one some of those amphibs!

Is that megatherium green?!
