 I just have 2 Deinotheriums and 1 Indricotherium but there are too,  the mammoth (first version), the Pithecantrope, the Brontotherium, the Saltoposuchus and the Tanystropheus. To my knowledge, there are no more.. :)

It is always interesting to think that someone from a brand decided to introduce this kind of creatures as premium figures. Boca is the Portuguese word for mouth.

..and the same in Occitan language! :)

Never seen before :)

Oh, really interesting. It is the same in Spanish and Catalan too so there is a geographic connection. Italian use bocca, it sounds the same.

Thanks to my ancestral Occitan language, I can read Italian, Castillan, Portuguese and catalan(of course it's almost the same language) texts! By its central position inside Romania, Occitan is a bridge between all roman langages.. :)

Oh, that's a great definition "Occitan is a bridge between all roman languages"... I think it is best known here as Provençal but Wikipedia tells Provençal is a dialect of the Occitan. But bridge is a great definition, even geographically because it extends from the Aranese in Spain to Monaco and Italy.

Yes Rogério , Provençal is an occitan dialect like Lengadocian or Gascon! :)

According Philppe Guillot in his recent book "la fabuleuse collection préhistorique de Starlux", these line of little models would have been released in the nineties but none Starlux documentation has been found about!

They would have been a try to sell cheap figurines in archeologic sites and museums..

the Pithecanthrope:

not at all the same scale!

All of them have trunks.

These mini models are lovely, their style really suites the prehistoric era they've captured!

Very nice

Many thanks to you three! Rogério, Bonnie and Andreas!
