 What are these? Is the one on the top left a microcephalic ceratopsid? If it is, I want one! I don't really recognize the molds but some of them appear to be MPC knock-offs (specially the "terror-bird" and the moschops) |

They are petty crude and they remind me of those plastic frog hoppers that you press the back of it and it makes it hop.

There are no redeeming qualities at all. They are also in the current issue of PT--suffice to say they are not exactly sought after collectibles. |

I need some help guys:
The Papo Allosaurus which I thought was at a 1:40 scale is bigger than the 1:40 Carnegie Corythosaurus! Did I make a mistake?

No, not exactly, the Papo Allo is about 38ft (11.6m) or so which is right, but the Carnegie Corythosaurus is 28ft(8.5m) which is small should be 33-35 ft(10-10.7m) |

Although Allosaurus reached that length on some occasions, sculptors usually only sculpt the average length of the animal, right? |

True, but so little material is on hand that the skeletal mount at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History is just a scaled up Allosaurus. That's the problem with so many estimates on size of many dinos, a fragment that resembles one of a known species is then assumed to maintain the same proportions, resulting in size estimates that may be too long, but the new animal may be only more robust, to support the heavier weight, not longer.But either way the Papo Allosaurus probably falls within the norms or it can be considered a Saurophaganax if all else fails. |

I like the idea of having a saurophaganax at last without having to sculpt my own. I mean, there were some DK tie-ins, but i don't think even they did one and if they did, it isn't any good.

Hey Guys and Gals. I have two dino's that i recently found and I can't ID. Any help would be appreciated... First up. Found this guy at a local 5 and 10... I really like this guy.. He is about 10 inches long.  Next, I found this guy at a thrift store..  They are just marked.. Made in China... Any info would be greatly appreciated :-) |

^ I've had the red "rex" for a decade now. I wouldn't expect to find the actual company, as I'm fairly sure it's simply a chinasaur.

The cool Stego reveals a fissure where two parts had been put together. This reminds me of some chinasaurs I have. Probably it´s hollow, too. Oriental Trading Company maybe?
By the way: Nice diorama pics ;D The terrarium does well as a jungle background.

I had that stego, but differently painted (brown tones). It was at least 15 years old.

The stego doesn't look too bad for a chinasaur. At least it doesn't have a hump-back and it's not dragging its tail!

Regarding the Papo Allosaurus, it's far too large to be 1:40 scale. More like 1:35. Put it next to a Carnegie Tyrannosaurus or Giganotosaurus to see what I mean. And that Tyrannosaurus is great...love the glowing red eyes and monstro-teeth. ;D |

Still, I imagine I have about 50 toys just like this, including the one shown above. It's fun to compare them to some of today's most scientifically accurate figures. |
