Wing Crown Animal Figures

I have finally created a post with information on the Wing Crown models of my collection for the TAW sorry it took so long! Wing Crown is a company that have made many plastic animals over the years, and although their quality is low compared to that of the major brands, which is why they are pretty cheap, but they may have some figures that are of interest to collectors. You can read more about the company and what figures they have on offer here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Generally the molds are alright, and so they may be of interest if you enjoy repainting models, as sometimes the painting can go very wrong with their figures! I think they are quite well known for their dinosaurs, but they have farm, sea, wild, reptile and insect ranges. Looking through their products, some of their models are copies from major brands, but they may be of interest to any collectors who like to have a complete collection of a certain species, and don't care whether the animal if badly made or not! Generally the older variations are better than the more modern ones. Firstly, here are my dinosaurs:
I think that of all Wing Crown's models, their dinosaurs are the best (For all the models, the older variant is shown on the left):

And finally the farm animals:

And of course my favourite is this rough collie, which I actually think has one of the best molds I have seen in this breed, but I'm going to try and find another to repaint:

Thanks a lot Bonnie for opening this topic. I am bookmarking it to not forget to put your pictures at the Toy Animal Wiki.On STS-Forum, we have collectors that enjoy figures of all levels of quality and you know I am one of them. We also love to know about all brands and Wing Crown is not an exception.
Also, you are right, sometimes these brands reserve to us some really good surprises as it is the rough collie, very nice sculpt and I hope you find another one and show it repainted on forum.
Are these figures marked in any way? Do they have anything to help identifying the brand and also animal name or other information? What's the dino after the apatosaurus?

Thank you Roger and I'm glad I could help ! I looked underneath the farm and wild animals and all they said was 'China' and the name of the animal- but for some reason for the dinosaurs all it said was 'China' and there wasn't a name for the species...
I must admit I'm not an expert on dinosaurs so I'm not sure... maybe another dinosaur expert on the forum can help?

Looking at the Wing Crown website, a lot appear to be shared sculpts with other brands, most-notable Toy Major and Nayab (at least judging by the insects). My guess is that Toy Crown deals with the same producers of a lot of the 'chinamals' that show up with other brands. It does not mean they are knockoffs, could just be using the same original producers.

Ohhh ok thanks for this Blaine!

It is probably a velociraptor but you are feeding too much your dinos. Thanks once more.

I am always happy to help the wonderful TAW!

I have a dinosaur almost identical to your green one, and on the belly it says "Yaverlandia." A very unusual choice.

Oh thank you so much for this and I'm sure Roger will add it on the TAW!

He is free to use my photo if he wishes.

There's a set I'm curious about but I've never managed to find for sale:

They're on Wing Crown's web site here (http://www.wingcrown.com/mobile/showpro.php?id=267) but I don't think you can buy direct unless you're a retailer ordering by the pallet.

Thanks for sharing that

Thank you Andreas!
Halichoeres- I actually haven't seen them in my usual Wing Crown shop but they look very good. I'll keep a look out!

Oh, of course it is a Yaverlandia. How couldn't I guess it before asking Bonnie?
I am kidding, I've never heard about it and if I had, I'd think it was a kind of fairy tales theme park.
Many thanks Halich and good luck finding these cool Wing Crown models. I like the guy on bottom left but obviously the smile of the guy on top left is much more charming. :)
By the way, all models here presented are now on TAW and obviously it is the first yaverlandia ever added.

Ha ha ha, it wouldn't surprise me if there are copies of this same mold stamped "Velociraptor" or "Deinonychus" or something else familiar. Hard to know with these dime store dinosaurs :)

If it was not your post, I was just ready to list it as an inflated velociraptor.
Do you have a Wing Crown anchisaurus, don't you?

I do! It's quite homely:

A cute dinosaur! Is it from Wing Crown's cartoon range by any chance?

Yes, it is. I've also seen it sold under the brand name Gosnell, although mine is actually stamped "Wing Crown" in ink underneath.

That's the thing with some of the models made in China- I often see the same one sold by different brands!

Lovely dino. It is still the best of its species. Thanks!
