So, if i understand well, starlux made TWO Nothosaurus molds? Because I have seen another Starlux animal mold called Nothosaurus...

Yes, STARLUX made this one in 1972 and the other in 1981.

STARLUX produced also two different mammoths and diplodocus.

In what year did Starlux vanish as a manufacturer, then?

We really need somebody to expand this site http://toyanimal.info//index.php?title=Starlux

Anyway, I am expecting a 1972 Nothosaurus via mail.

Some more of my clairet-models have got Starlux friends

Very nice pairs Susanne

Be careful with your CLAIRET baboon and zebu... I don't like the white marks. Isolate them, clean them and wait a few days !

Ohhh!
I will do that immediately, and check the others !!!!

Beautieful new stuff Susanne again

Kiki is not the only that is not very confortable with the white marks of the babboon, I think other monkeys are not interested in shaking the hand of the new cittizen.   
I hope everything is fine with the figures but of course it is always better to prevent.
Gnus are wonderful and Clairet zebu looks a limousine, not a Limousin!

Hurray!!!! Today I got a wonderful parcel from Ebay.fr   


Ever since Roger gave me the beautyful Psittacosaurus, I have fancied these funny-looking crosses between a parrot and a dino:lol:  
And today the one from Starux moved in on my VIP-shelf

Another jewel for my collection : The Drepanapis   
He is much larger than I thought , and absolutely beautyful

Another one which is larger than I expected is this nice squirrel  
Perhaps she is not from Starlux, - but who cares, - I love her

Wonderful old models-love the Aurochs!!  

Wonderful again Susanne:-)

Wow, lovely newcomers Susanne! Congratulations!!

Thankyou, dear friends  

I just googeled Wikipedia, and found this about the Psittacosaurs :

It is notable for being the most species-rich dinosaur genus. Nine to eleven species are recognized from fossils found in different regions of modern-day China, Mongolia and Russia, with a possible additional species from Thailand.
All species of Psittacosaurus were gazelle-sized bipedal herbivores characterized by a high, powerful beak on the upper jaw. At least one species had long, quill-like structures on its tail and lower back, possibly serving a display function. Psittacosaurs were extremely early ceratopsians. Although they developed many novel adaptations, they shared many anatomical features with later ceratopsians such as Protoceratops and Triceratops.

Amazing there are so few models of them, - but it also explains why those three are so different...I hope Safari will soon make one again...and CollectA one more

Congratulations Susanne! Very interesting new Starlux there, and an Aurochs! Wonderful

Congratulations Susanne, I would never guess that the Starlux figure is a psittacosaurus.
Though, I like its concept and is by far the oldest of these three.
Some figures have large eyes, some other have Starlux eyes that is a higher level. Though, who wouldn't guess the aurochs is a Starlux? I hope you can find more about the squirrel and my favorit is the prehistoric fish.

Thankyou, guys

Thankyou  

Yes, that drepanaspis-fish is fabulous
