Anthony Beeson says: posted on: 09/19/2008 “Hello Boki, Randy has put me in touch with your site today. I had never heard of the Salvat range so that is most interesting to me as well. You will no doubt cause a feeding frenzy amongst dinosaur collectors for these models! Thank you for the nice remarks about the Procon/Collecta range. I have tried to make the series as unusual as possible. Some models turn out better than others but as moulds decay so it gives us a chance to redesign any that we are not ultimately pleased with. There were 6 original dinosaurs before I got involved. The brachiosaurus mould is now wearing out and will be replaced by a more accurate version in a similar pose. This will be a replacement not a new number in the catalogue, so you should buy an example of the first one soon if you want it. Also parasaurolophus will shortly be issued in more sensible colours than the somewhat startling model currently available, so that will become a collector's item. All good wishes. Anthony Beeson ” Wow, good to know that they a) know some of their stuff is pretty inaccurate and b) actually plan to update the molds on a pretty regular basis!

I don't have the terizinosaurus, I have the T-rex, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, Dimetrodon, Elasmosaurus, Diplodocus, Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Deinosuchus, Brachiosaurus, Polacanthus and Postosuchus. The rex, diplo, trike, spino, elasmo, deinosuchus are copies of carnegie, but the colors and the sculpt was modified. The dimetrodon like the bullyland The other I don't know

I agree with TP. I think the Acro and T-Rex look awesome, but the other ones are, meh, i'd rather go for carnegie. Besides the acro is based off the battat version obviously. You can get almost the same thing for a fraction of the price! ;D

If any of you have access to more Salvat dinosaur figures, I encourage yo u to buy some while you can. They may be ugly, but they will be truly a collectors item very soon. See, even the professional collectors don't know anything about them! The value of these figures is not how nice looking they are (we all agree that they are not the best looking figures) but how rare and obscure they are. If anyone knows how where you can buy them let me know.

Really the acro salvat is very similar (copy) of Battat Acro, and it's my favorite Salvat. The complete collection is: T-rex Triceratops Spinosaurus Parasaurolophus Stegosaurus Pteranodon Dimetrodon Corytosaurus Elasmosaurus Diplodocus Allosaurus Saichania Maiasaura Ceratosaurus Velociraptor Iguanodon Deinosuchus Psittacosaurus Brachiosaurus Dilophosaurus Kronosaurus Carnotaurus Polacanthus Plateosaurus Postosuchus Saltasaurus Apatosaurus Torosaurus Utahraptor Gallimimus Quetzalcoatlus Pachycephalosaurus Baryonyx Styracosaurus Acrocanthosaurus Mosasaurus Tanystropheus Ouranosaurus Amargasaurus Therizinosaurus

^^^ I love the Battat Acro, it's fairly accurate and highly detailed. I would like to get the Salvat version, but it's not as accurate as the Battat.

Thanks for the list of all Salvat dinosaur figures Ikessauro, I will email the list to Randy Knol of the dinosaur collector site. I would love to see the pictures of the entire set. Anyone know what happened to that link that was posted before that has the list of the figures? It seem to have disappeared.

Oh by the way, I love your collection,Ikessaurus! I'm really jealous of that Chap Mei Liopleurodon! Wow , did they just released that figure abroad? You have a wonderful sample of the Salvat Figures, and yes the Acro is definitely a copy of the Battat one, the coloration is more interesting than what I expected. Oh, I love the fish tank display, reminds me a lot of Tomhet's, have you seen the photos of his collection?
