Gotta agree with boki here - Procon may not always hit it on the head, but they have made a few nice figures, particularly Olorotitan and Tenontosaurus. Sarcosuchus isn't terrible either. Thank you! ;D

Kinto did a saichania skeleton. Bandai did an irritator... Sbell-- Those sharks are awesome Yah, those small sharks are awesome! ;D I did not know that the frill shark has been done already ;D Like I said--there are two. A very hard to find Animaltales one, and the little one in the bouncy ball. They are $2.20 (including taxes) apiece from my Centre's gift store, and would easily fit a letter envelope (unless you'd want them in the ball, in which case they would be very bulky). There is actually a set of 12--somewhere around here I have posted 8 of them, since I only recently got the rest of them.

.. I guess I have to make a trip to canada Generally, I get two of the bouncy balls- One to take the figure out of, and the other to leave as-is, just encase it becomes worth something in the years to come But speaking of bouncy balls-- Does anybody have the entire set of the little blue/clear super balls with the tiny dinosaur figures in side? I know DTF has the small plesiosaur, and I think sbell has an ornithocheirus(?) ? I have the little anky, and I have seen others with parasaurolophus in them.

These bouncy-ball dinos intrigue me - are there a lot of 1 inch dinos out there?

I have a tiny little blue iguanadon from one of those such balls. I think there's a tail draggin trex type thingie too-- and probably a triceratops to go along with it. And since the bouncy balls are curved, it makes the figures inside seem magnified-- They are already small from the view inside the ball, so when you take them out, it's like "wow!".

There are some species that just don't seem to exist as commercial replicas. I don't think anyone makes an ambulocetus, or any other sort of prehistoric whale or whale ancestor other than the aforemetioned zueglodon. Oh, wait--Yowies has some sort of prehistoric whale or dophin in thier second set, but I don't know what it was. The Yowie prehistoric whale is Mammalodon. How many figures of Daspletosaurus are there? Because there's one out under the Dinosaur King range.

There was once a bronze model of Daspletosaurus by Micheal Trcic and there's the Shane Foulkes Cretaceous Creations 1/18 scale resin kit of an adult and juvenile of that species.

a few yowies are unique. I have Panoplosaurus, Prenocephale and Owen's Horned Turtle that i know of that are unique. Their Cryolophosaurus was unique when it was released too.

YOwies also did a helicoprion So did APII in the I Dig Prehistoric Sharks sets. If I could just get the stupid things into our store (thank you again, knee-jerk, over-reactive testing). Yowies also made the only Dickinsonia, Mawsonites, Arandaspis, Mcnamaraspis, Rolfosteus, duckabrook rhizodont (Barameda), Siderops, Deltasaurus, Quinkana, Tasmaniassaurus, Kettneraspis, Woolungasaurus, Tingamarra, Nimbacinus, Ekaltadeta, Trilophosuchus, Balbaroo, Dubbolimulus, Rikisaurus, Mauisaurus, Mythunga, Leptocleidus, Pelagornis, Emuarius, Wakaleo, Megalibgwilia, Propleopus, Queensland dicyonodont (?Kannemeyeria?)...I think that's it, just from in my collection. There are many more one-timers from them, I am sure. As for Kaiyodo (Dinotales): Axelrodicthys, Bothriolepis, Pterygotus, Hemicyclaspis, Cladoselache, Copepteryx, Douvelleiceras, Eryon, Lystrosaurus, Meganeura, Pachydiscus, Palaeoloxodon, Polyptychoceras, Psychopyge, Rayonnoceras, Siamotyranus, Triarthrus, Trochosaurus, Huayangosaurus, Nipponites. So not as many one-timers as even Yowies. Although obviously better figures.

The "i dig prehistoric sharks" also did an orthacanthus, and scapanorhynchus. They also did a yellow chimera-like fishy thing, but the name escapes me at the moment.
Who else, besides kaiyodo, did a rutiodon?
