May I bring your attention on something, please? It's about Play Visions Prehistoric Amphibians. In my room, I have a book edited by Marshall Editions about prehistoric animals. It's the 2000 french version of a book lensed in english back in 1988. I want you to look at the pages about the prehistoric amphibians. Do you noticed the same thing as I did? For their Prehistoric Amphibians line, PLAY VISIONS USED, AS MODELS, THE VERY ILLUSTRATIONS OF THAT BOOK. The postures are the same, the colors are the same, the textures are the same. All the very same!

The same book was used for models of the prehistoric mammals and prehistoric reptiles as well!

And those illustrations have shown up in many different books over the last 30+ years. Plus a Grolier CD-ROM called Prehistoria

I think I have two, and I have seen several others reusing the same illustrations. Plus the CD-ROM (which uses older pictures--and does not include the conodont)

The main one is The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Creatures.

Some pages can be see here:

The Monterey Bay adult beluga was modeled after a whale named Ferdinand from Zoo Duisburg. He now lives at SeaWorld in San Diego.

About Lineol and Albert Cassmann

The animals of the Berlin Zoo served as models for the wild animals. Two famous examples from the production of animal figurines are the hippopotamus Knautschke and the goblin "Bobby", which Albert Caasmann has immortalized in miniature.

PostSubject: papo coyote figurine   Inspirations for the figurines EmptySat Mar 02, 2019 7:58 pm

Hello, friends.

I have found an image of two canids  in a book called " the wolves of north america". the smaller one is a coyote and the larger one is a wolf. The coyote resembles  much the papo 2004 wolf figurine.

Therefore papo has made a mistake. What everyone thinks is a wolf is indeed a coyote[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It seems you have a good eye to these things and I think [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is the perfect for posting these inspirations you find. Very Happy
In this case, things are not so clear to me, maybe I need a better pic. scratch

Sometimes the figure looks a lot like the real as it happens with the bear but sometimes the real animal looks a lot like the figure as it is that famous Diana monkey. Laughing
I think this one is more coincidental than inspirational but it also deserves a reference.
