Some Prehistoric mammals from Starlux ..and a couple of dinoes

Recently I have been fortunate go get a small lot of prehistoric mammals, dinoes and such .

Now I have to get them on my homesite, but I have a problem with the names of some of them. Perhaps you can help me ?
Christophe was so kind as to send me a link to a catalogue, but they are not all there, and some of the names are very difficult to read (For me, at least, I AM terribly nearsighted)

So corrections and suggestions are most welcome

Palaeotherium

eohippus - the prehis. horse from Bullyland for comparison. I think he is a later species, the Starlux has toes, the Bullyland has hooves:

I wonder if this hunter is a neanderthaler or just a rather funny cave man it is a JAVA MAN "pithecantropus erectus"

A colour variant of the stegosaurus. My new one is less glossy and I wonder if it was made later than the first one ? The one on the left is the oldest one

I'm completly speechless with that collection! It's absolutly great! :)


Palaeotherium
Orohippus
Ichthyosaur
Hulitherium ?

The hanging is pterodactylus
The dancing is Saltoposuchus

See here Susanne:
Kiki's prehistoric Starlux


If you have more doubts let us know.

Thankyou very, very much for your help and kind words, Roger !!!!

I will try to put the names over the pictures later. Right now my eayes are itching from staring at the screen.
I may need new glasses, I think

This guy gets my vote as BEST ANIMAL FIGURE EVER.

Susanne, you hit a treasure trove here! They are wonderful figures in spectacular condition! I bet Mr. Dancing GreenJeans is one of the few who still has his high heels, and your others have tongues, and horns and etc, that most have probably lost years ago!
I'm thrilled that as 'inaccurate' as some of the figures may be, the Stego and Triceratops are in an upright gait, instead of with their elbows sprawled like lizards.

Thankyou, thankyou Carolynn

I just LOVE the silly Mr green-pants too

You are seeing exactly the same as I am!
It is a Saltoposuchus, or leaping crocodile! I also think it is an unforgetable figure!
It's a crocodylomorph, not a croc but I love it anyway! I remembered Kiki's topic because of it!By the way, leap in Portuguese is salto and salto also means high heels!

That is very interesting !

We call a Somersault a Saltomortale in Danish

And salto means high heels, - very, very strange It is almost impossible to jump in high heels

i have a friend in france,,he can buy them,,but i wont collect them

because?

i don't like them

That is the wonderful thing about a great forum like this : We don`t have the same taste, so we get to see all kinds of figures

That's why he's dancing! I love to dance in high heels.
It would be fun to go dancing with Mr. Green-Jeans. He looks like he might be a bad dancer, but he has enthusiasm, which is fun. Or more likely he's a very good dancer being very silly on the dance floor.

Martien, they don't look retro, they are retro! Or better, they are vintage! Mostly from 60's and 70's! What a Face They are in fact not very good replicas but as a series it is absolutly wonderful! Even only counting prehistoric mammals where will you find a range with such a diversity? Think in animals like the Syntethoceras, Moropus, alticamelus, Palaeotherium, etc.!
When I see a vintage car I really love it, always much more than a new car with a retro looking.
But I confess, some of these moulds in modern brands will scare me while some of the species will please me.
As Susanne says, in collecting all of us have some figures that we like and others that we don't like and that's the funny thing of collecting and knowing other collectors.
See what I don't like, not vintage, falsely retro and very ugly! Laughing

Those are great Susanne! I really like the Triceratops and also the one that looks kind of like a hippo!

Does Starlux still make figures?

Mr. Green Jeans looks a bad dancer because he is in Susanne's house with a lot of cats!
You are stepping on my tail!,
He is surely thinking: With this high heels, If someone steps on my tail I will performe a salto-mortale


In Portuguese
Com estes saltos, se alguém me pisa o rabo vou dar um salto-mortal!

Sorry, I look the owner of this topic! Today I will sleep here with these crazy dinos!
I think Starlux is not producing anymore!

Kristie, don't you love also the moropus?

According to Babelfish:
"With these jumps, if somebody steps on the tail goes to give a jump-mortal to me"
See, your English is muuuuuuuch better than my Portuguese!

That's really funny and crazy!
Fortunately I don't use translators!
Ah... thanks!

Kristie, I knew it! :)

Susanne: Some more names:
The triceratops got a little friend, I wonder if it is a psitto..something ?
...it is a protoceratops

turtle is a Archelon,
Snake-o-crocco-dino-whats is a tanystropheus

I hope it is right! :roll:It is missing any of htem?

Excellent collection, thanks for the photos.

What a fantastic group of vintage Starlux models Susanne.
I was trying to put the correct names on all of the animals of your pics, but internet failed on me several times, and i had to do it at least for 7 times, without succeeding...
Do you have problems with imgbox.de to the last days?
They seem to have renewed the site, but when i want to log in, i get a message that the internet can't connect to this site, very strange, although the home-page shows up the first time...
Because this happens, i can't put new pics here, and i can't warn or write them about my problem either...

Willy, I changed the names in the original Susanne's post. Could you please check them?

I also LOVE that moropus, and the one with the horn on his nose that Christophe has, and, and.... but like most of us, I have to take it easy with spending too much, or......

Thankyou Phil and Willy

Thanks for trying, Willy.
Yes, I can`t access Imgbox either! Now for 3 - 4 days
I have changed to Photobucket, - actually they are much easyer and faster and many more smart possibilities

There is a line over them now

Thankyou, Roger, dear friend, - I will wait and see what happens
