dinosaur and mammals from henkel, ovomaltine and yoplait

Wow, these are lovely models, even though they are one colour they still have a lot of detail and are so rare too!

Thank you Andreas and Rogério! :)

a newcomer, Endothiodon:



 .. to my knowledge, only Starlux and Henkel/yoplait produiced this species:



 .. here together for comparison, the ressemblance is noticeable so they could have been inspired from the same old draw far different from more recent reconstructions!

 

 .. my Henkel family is growing up!.. :)

Not many dycynodonts to enjoy, so those finds are really precious. It was very interesting that CollectA released recently a Lisowicia.

These ones were probably inspired by the 1951 French Endothiodon Sticker you can watch HERE

Oh yeess! the same hippo looking!  

Thank you both Rogério and Christophe!

3 newcomers,:

 Dimetrodon:



 Moschop:



 Baluchitherium:



 For this model, Somatra, the company which made all these premium prehistoric animals for Henkel, Yoplait and Ovomaltine, indicates on its leaflet: "Rhinocéros laineux (Baluchithérium)"  So, it's more surely a whooly rhino than a baluchitherium (or Indricotherium) in spite of its long legs and neck or an hybrid between the 2 genus!:)

 together for size comparison:

Wonderful figures. A nice idea from henkel in the past.

It is a Somatra idea 

Really nice, obviously it cannot be a Baluchitherium. As far as I know this animal was never represented with horns but I am not 100% sure. I think it is a Somatra rhino instead.

Indeed Coelodonta somatranus 

Thank you  Tupolev Tu-154, Rogério and Christophe for your comments!

Congrats, Caracal, these are rare treasures! If you ever manage to find 2× of the Pterichthys, I hope you'll keep me in mind :)

It would be a miracle to find just one! :)

Triceratops "Yoplait":



 and with my other pink lady: Protoceratops (for size comparison):




mammoths from Yoplait and Henkel:

I am a yogurt fan and Yoplait is extinct in Portugal for a long time. Thus, pink prehistoric animal figures seems apropriated. Actually the effect is very beautiful.

Rare catches. And figures that i like. We need more collectors of thar wonderful stuff here.

Thank you Rogério and Andreas!

Mine since I was a kid !

The mammoth with its tusks, a treasure!!

Isn't it wonderful to see a 61 years old man showing these classic figures and saying: "mine since I was a kid!"?
I really love it, forever yours!

Thank you. I was able to keep almost all my small objects from that time. From time to time, I open my treasure boxes, it's like a time machine!

It 's the same for me!

Hi, I would like to show you my figures. I wasn't lucky to have them since my chilhood but I bought them all from a collector who had them for 40 years. They are full of good memories ... :)
I didn't know anything about them because I'm from Spain but I love collecting monochrome vintage figures and these have a lovely retro look (which I like a lot, too).






My favourite figure is the protoceratops because it's the largest, but my little gem is the blue Yoplait stegosaurus. I would love to trade for the other figures I don't have, if anyone is interested, I have some Spanish vintage figures, Starlux, Linde, WWD minis, Invicta, Paninis ... but only dinosaurs.

Congratulations for this beautiful range with that Stegosaurus I still miss!

 I have 2 Glyptodon, so if you are interested.. :)
