My little collection of dinoes

Slowly I have begun to find an interest in Dinosaurs, only I think I will never be able to remember their names

I like the “Museum-line” from Bullyland, because of the tag, that has a good, little description for beginners.
Also they are relatively easy to get hold of on Ebay here in Europe, and even the retired ones are not so darned expensive

So far my collection is very small and totally random. But I like them very much and would like to show them to you.

The first one is the one I love the most. It the very rare procynosuchus. And then it is a fantastic gift from Roger .
The procynosuchus was about the size of a dachshound and was one of the first ancestors of mammals. It lived app 250 million years ago


Archaeopteryx. It was the size of a raven, and lived app 150 mill years ago.


The Arizonasaurus was a swift predator that lived app 250 mill years ago


Dimatrodon meat eater that lived app 280 mill years ago:


Iguanodon, a large plant eater that lived app 120 mill years ago. The “Thumbs” were a sort of thorn, probably used for defence.


Liliensternus. I love this figuere. 220 mill years ago these elegant creatures were probably hunting in prides :


Parasaurolophus, Decendant of the iguanodon, a gentle meateater.


Paratypothorax , covered with thick bont plates. Omnivorous. Lived app 210 mill years ago :


Plateosaurus. Plant eater that lived app 210 mill years ago.


Pteranodon Stenberli, I think the one to the right should have had a fish in his beak. They lived app 114 - 75 mill years ago:


Stegosaurus, app 195 mill years ago this creture was eating soft plant material. Its brain was no lareger than a walnut, so it was good that he only had to bend his head and chew :


Velociraptor, I have read him described as a “ ferocious ballet-dancer with daggers on his feet”


I hope I got the data right, as mentioned I am a total beginner

Fabulous collection - I'd like to have the procynosuchus as a pet, he looks rather like a dog
You'd better not look at Papo's dinos

Yes, that procynosuchus could be a lovely pet
I can just see you walking around with him at your heels

Ooooh, yes, the Papo-dinoes I did actually buy the pachyrhinosaurus ( A patched-up rhino ? ) on Ebay, but then it turned out that the seller wanted 17 Euros to send him !!!!! Fortunately she was willing to cancel that deal

Does anybody have the Papo pachyrhinosaurus ? Is he big ?
Perhaps some day if I win in the lottery

Seems it's not to big...

Thanks, Robertbert

No, he is not very big, - why on earth did she then want that much to send it ?????
Perhaps she wanted to keep the wonderful figuere for herself

Yes, I'm sure that's the reason

I don't have him either. He's not very big, Christophe made a review of him a while back https://sts-forum.forumieren.de/t147-here-comes-the-pachyrhinosaurus

I love your little dinosaur collection. It is great. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope to see more soon.

Awesome collection! These are in my opinion Bullyland's best prehistorics - far superior to their later models. The only current one I really like is the velociraptor, and apprently I'm one of very few who do!

Madly jealous about the Archies, BTW - they're so cool, and shockingly rare as models. Would love to get my hands on one, but I guess they're long discontinued.

Thanks Susanne for another informative topic. The liliensternus and the Paratypothorax are in my wish list!

Thankyou friends ! I am SO happy that you like them

I got the archies together with some other stuff from Bullyland, - I was probably lucky ?

I also like the current Velociraptor !!
It seems Bullyland and the Museum in Stuttgard have changed their mind about how it looked



BTW, I read in a crime novel that there has been found a fossile of a T.Rex baby with feathers, is that fiction or could it be right ?????

The feathered dinos are my favourite ^^

About the T-rex with feathers, I think that could be possible since scientist have found fossils with feathers markings on them, I recently saw a nature´s programm about that.

WOW! A cute, fuzzy T-rex
But I don`t find it strange, - the bald dinoes look kind of weird
Yes, the Velociraptor with feathers certainly looks more "real". It is fun to see them both, I think

Thank you, Sylvia

This guy, a pteranodon, was flying in a bush in my garden



Perhaps he also really had feathers, - he does look a bit bald

I also got a jellyfish, - a Medusa. As far as I know it completes the little collection af Bullyland`s so called fossiles.
Of course they are not dinoes, - and surely NEVER had feathers, but there they are

Love the jellyfish!
Dinosaurs might have had fur for all we know. I kind of like the bald dinos though

Hi Susanne! you have a good collection for dino!!

Nice photo of your garden! It looks even pteranodons are happy there!:)
I think the best option for dinosaurs would be using protofeathers, it works like fur or even feathers! But something is saying me that some large dinos have peafows tails!
The only thing I'm sure about dinosaurs is that they had bones! :)

I am not so sure, I had to take the Pteranodon away from the bush, - there was two little nosy Siamese kitties who had discovered this funny bird

Friends, I am really, really happy you like mý collection. It is quite coincidence that I started with Bullyland, but now I have begun, I have become used to the way they look even if some other brands are nicer and I originally collect Schleich

Great collection of Bullyland jewels Susanne. You still have to find the fabulous Edaphosaurus and the so rare mastodonsaurus

Some Bullyland are REALLY great and at last more accurate than SCHLEICH. Believe me it's a good start

These figures are great Christophe, it is incredible the diversity of prehistoric species Bullyland lauched and some are really great! This frog is probabily the only ever made, unless a Japanese brand did it! :)

Those are wonderful, Christophe ! What are they called ? I mean, what is the name of that kind of animal ?
I have never seen that crocosaurus before, it is SO cute

The Elefantosaurusses from Bullyland, - unfortunately I am not a millionaire

But I am getting one from Safari, an ambelodon, I hope he is nice also

Ohh, I just see, - it is not a croc, it is a frog

STARLUX made one too in the 1970's

The first one is an edaphosaurus, it was a Permian planteater and a cousin of the well known dimetrodon. Those are pelycosaurs and not dinos, they are indeed closer to us than to dinos because they are synapsids like us.

The second one is a mastodonsaurus, which was a Triassic amphibian. This frog cousin had a head which reached 1,25 meter long so the whole animals would reached 4 to 5 meters long

Don't worry for the price of the Bully deinotherium... The Mastodonsaurus is also very rare and expensive

Thanks Christophe!:)
