Does anyone here know about Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) dinosaurs? Here are the ones I bought back in 1984, in a flea market: a Lambeosaurus and a Chasmosaurus.

Very special figurines, congratulations!!

What fantastic gems ! Again !!! WOW !!!
They are wonderful

Are they marked ROM ? Does it say what species they are ?

I already told you in the first post: they are marked "ROM" and are identified as Chasmosaurus (top) and Lambeosaurus (bottom).

I was ready to ask the same as Susanne so it is not clear in your first post that they are marked with brand and animal names. It is important to know once it helps to identify figures when we don't know anything about them. However, you tell us what they are and knowing that they are marked, if we find another figure from the collection, we may expect it is marked too.

There was also an Albertosaurus, a Diplodocus, a Parasaurolophus, a Pteranodon, a Stegosaurus and a Stenopterygius.

A few knock offs also exist.

The Royal Ontario Museum also produced a famous Burgess shale series with Laggania, Olenoides, Opabinia, Pikaia and Wiwaxia (Quollmate avatar )

They are pretty famous on the Dino Toy Forum. I remember I used to see them at the Calgary Zoo, but never got them as a kid.

All of the originals were the flat grey color, but later recasts/knockoffs can be foudn in other colors. The Pteranodon and Stenopterygius (especially) are quite rare; the latter is very rare, kind of small, and a hunted prize for a lot of people.

Overall, they have a kind of Invicta-like quality, although the sculpts and details are less pronounced.

Unlike the (sometimes) big, colorful, cartoonish Burgess animals (which are still available from the ROM store).

Perfect Christophe and Sean! Now I am better informed. Now I only know how to introduce them on TAi. I've seen that ROM is a copyrigthed branding. How should be called the main page for these figures? ROM, Royal Ontario Museum or is there other brand name that these figures are known and ROM is just the name of the collection?

ROM is the shorthand for Royal Ontario Museum, and should suffice for the line.

Thanks Sean, a new [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] was created on TAi to ROM. Pcitures of Bowhead were added, so it is now ready to receive more pics from someone that collect these figures. If more info is known, it can be shared here to enrich the new created page.

No problem, that's great!

I unfortunately can't help with any of the dinos; if you need photos of the Burgess I have those.

Surely Sean, much probably not many people have them on forum so we could use your pictures. :)

I have a knock-off of the Chasmosaurus for trade!

I'll get them for you this weekend!

Okay, this link should work!

WOW! Now, to put them on TAI!!

It worked, Sean! Thanks! :)
I will upload them on TAi when possible although I am not sure I can introduce them correctly into the taxonomic section.

The job is done

Thanks Christophe, you're the perfect person to do that job once you are the official TAi-xonomist.

I have sad news for you: today, I found out that I lost the Ebay auctions for ROM Albertosaurus and ROM Pteranodon. Man, how much I h@te last minute bidders!

I agree so totally
As far as I know, there is even a computer programme that can do it for the bidder

Yahoo Auctions Japan has a system where 5 minutes is added on if there is a bid in the last few minutes--which means no sniping, but that auctions can continue for much longer...

Valerie, translating directly from Portuguese, I would love to express my solidarity, though, I think these are bones of this hobby. I don't know if in English it makes sense, maybe it is better to say - I would love to express my sympathy but this is occupational hazard.
Be patient, if you keep searching, soon or later new ROM will find a way to your collecting room. :)

I wanted so much to provide new dinos for the ROM page on TAI...

Here are my new ROM Diplodocus and Albertosaurus!!!

Thanks Valerie, they're already on TAI, 14th and 4th respectively! Nice to see these citizens finding a good way to your collection.

Congratulations Valerie :)

Thank you! But they were hard to get, with those EBay snipers roaming...

Here is my newest comer: my ROM Parasaurolophus!

Nice dinosaur too :)

I received my Royal Ontario Museum STEGOSAURUS this morning! Now, I have six ROM dinosaurs. Only two to go!

Only one catch: Roger told me that he won't be able to put my pics before a long time, because he has difficulties in his private life... I hope it ends well and he comes back to us soon...

Thanks for your concern, it is far from being solved but now, I have not as much time pressure as before. So, I used the chance to add your two last dinosaurs to ROM page on TAI. I hope you can get the two creatures missing to complete your collection and respective TAI page.

Thank you! I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise of not taking new pictures before you put all my list of pics on TAI... it's just that this month, too many interesting opportunities just all came at once, on EBay...
