Kentrosaur's Collection

[kentrosaur]

Thought it about time to post a bit of my collection, I don't have a lot of them and some are still at my parents house (moved out 8 years ago, most of my toys are still there lol)



Papo - Spinosaurus, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus and Allosaurus



Safari - Camarasaurus, Stegosaurus and Triceratops
Schleich - Saltasaurus and the little ankylosaur, it looks like it says Saichama on it's belly but it is really hard to read - anyone know it?



Unlabled - Parasaurolophus and Velociraptor (with generic theropod feeties) I can't even find a 'made in ...' on these guys, I got them in a tube and had to put them together.
Metal Tyrannosaurus - Got this as a b-day present awhile back, was told it was from a market stall.



Kong Skulls (not really toys, but dinosaurian and I'll take them down if the mods don't think they belong here ) Venatosaurus, Kong, V-Rex and Ferrucutus. I rank these guys with JP toys, Based on dinosaurs, have dinosaur names (fake ones in kongs case) but didn't actually exist.

I'll see if I can wrangle the parents into taking photos of what I've got at their place, there's a lot of JP toys there and some old carnagies if I remember right.

I like that parasaurolophus skeleton. Where did you get it?

I'm pretty sure it and the raptor one was from a Toys 'r' Us or a Toyworld

I got them from the State Museum in Brisbane, they occasionally stock Schleich and wild safari. At the moment they are carrying a lot of chinasaurs (in a museum, this makes me SAD) but every now and them you get some gems. I check in there every few weeks for anything new.

That's the one! I've pretty much seen every bit of that place a heap of times so I plan to do a trip to the natural history museums and zoos in melbourne and sydney around the middle/later part of this year, a large part of my budget is going on toys lol

That little Schleich armored beastie is labeled as being a Saichania. They also made a larger one for their "replicasaurus" line. It looks more like an Eoplocaphalus though, and it has been retired, as Schleich is putting out a new saichania. Which, while maybe more accurate, is a bit uglier.

Okie dokey, cool. I had a bit of trouble reading and couldn'tmake it out. I did a bit of snooping and saw the newer version and gotta say- I like the older version better, colour wise.

cheers! When the Kong stuff came out awhile ago I grabbed them, they may not be 'proper' dinosaur skulls but they're pretty d**n nifty non the less

Thanks for posting your pics.

I do love Papo's dino toys. My TRex seems to be greener overall than yours and is lacking the blue/grey on the head and is less pale on the undersides. I wonder how much colour variation there is in these?

Best

John.

I've noticed a bit of a colour difference with the Papo dinosaurs, the shop I got them from had two Spinosaurus and the colours, although similar were noticably different. Same with the Velociraptor. I'd like to see photos of your Tyrannosaurus to see the colour difference!

[tomhet]

Very cool collection, you've got many of the nice figures already

How come you haven't bought the Safari Dunkleosteus? It's amazing! (I always say that by the way)

I really want it! I'm a big fan of Dunkleosteus (plan to get one as a tattoo somewhere along the line) But they don't stock it in shops and I have trouble with buying stuff online

Your one is a lot yellower with less pronounced stripes, I want one with that paint job !(aswell as the one I have now, the bluer coloursa are pretty cool)

[kentrosaur]

These aren't to new, but I just found them so I thought I'd post pictures



Schleich - Quetzalcoatlus + Anhanguera
The Plesiosaur has the makers mark rubbed off, I've had him since I was little. Anyone know who makes him?
