These differences are what I am trying to find out.
According with Tim, Playspaces are just marked China without animal name. I just e-mailed him to ask if there is a number marked on them. So, your thylosaurus is not exactly the version sold under Playspaces name.
The Panini is marked with animal name and a number. Apparently they are also made of a more rubbery material. Though, the number I have for a thylosaurus is number 14 instead. It may not mean anything once it is known that Panini sold their collections in several countries and numbering may vary. What about the Ichthyosaurus?

Oke, make the 4 a 14, as the 1 is hiding with one of the wrinkles of the tylosaurus XD
The Ichthyosaurus is name and number 15 and China on his belly.
I do not know the other material, but the Ichty can be bent easily (tail fin and nose can be bend with ease).

This is very interesting !!!
My wild animal models have CHINA, species and number ( some haave a letter + a number) on them, - so they are Panini ?
Apart from that they are exactly the same as the ones in TAI ...but there is a black rhino too, which is not shown in TAI

On TAI they are just listed, not pictured, and the list is not complete. I made it from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and the official surely doesn't show the 40+5 figures announced. So, likely your rhino belongs to the list.
Could you please e-mail me with a list of what you have with the animal name and letters/numbers marked on them? That's the only way I have to compare with other sources to check if there is any coerence in the way they are marked. I'll ask the author of the topic I linked but I am not sure I'll get a answer.

Congrats on the wonderful new additions! I especially love the various birds and canids, but they really are all wonderful.

I am not sure I've read it before.
As more information I obtain from these figures, I am more convinced that your versions are Panini. 14 and 15 are the numbers of these two figures that I obtained from collectors that obtained them together with the album and stickers. Panini also has a softer material what is consistent with your comment.

Ooo, I missed this
But again, very nice additions! :3 Love the AAA eel 0.0 I can imagine you had trouble finding a place for him in your collection as he's big! xD and the little playspaces dinosaur, I remember having the blue one as a kid but i never saw it in green, niice <33
and the Pliosauris is a real treasure! :3 so beautiful owo

also happy that you are happy with the animals i sent you I'm curious how you are gonna ''Pimp'' them before they enter your collection xD <3

Many great figures and other kind of collectibles. News from Julie, etc. I am glad your blog project is being successful and that your collecting is in very good shape.

Thank you Roger Yes, I am still collecting big time
Julie is doing fine She is very busy with school, many tests next week.

Was not expecting such a long time blog XD But apparently, I am keeping it up!

Wonderful new additions! I love the fox plush and the prehistoric horse. I can't imagine anyone would object to you freeing the plesiosaur from the ball. I'm sure he's much happier now.

Congratulations :)

Congrats Karin!! So much nice animals again! Loving the daschund and also the prehistoric horse as i have him too
Can I ask: how do you free the little animals from the bouncing balls...? xD those things are pretty strong if you ask me xDD

You can ask anything
Well, most bouncing balls have a seem. Most of them are half colored/half see-trough rubber.
That seem, you can open up with a knife. Be careful! You can cut around that seem, breaking it open, carefully peeling away all that rubber.
Sometimes with old bouncing balls, you can tear them open along the seem. Shall take some photos next time I open one up

cool blog entries. cant wait to see the arapaima, coelacanth etc. in your collection someday. :)

Karin- I don't have an Instagram, so I can't respond there- but I very much enjoy reading your blog entries when you post them here. I especially adore that coelacanth!
